The List

Drinks: Bomb the Bartender Thursdays

10pm-?, Thursdays at Satsko, 245 Eldridge St, between Houston and Stanton; 212.358.7773

This fantastically schizophrenic LES spot bills itself as "home of delicate Asian Fusion cuisine and the Sake-Bomb". Proof of the latter: Thursdays after 10pm, anyone who can take manager Warren "Fastest Gullet in the East" Bayani in a bombing duel drinks free house sake the rest of the night. Before challenging him, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel delicate?" Well, do you, kohai?

Gear: Ghurka Sale

Thru Fri at Soiffer-Haskin: 317 W 33rd St, between 8th and 9th

Deep discounts on otherwise absurdly expensive, attorney-friendly leather bags, satchels, and wallets from Ghurka -- named for the Nepalese warriors whose battle cry "Jai Mahakali, Ayo Gorkhali!" translates to "Let the Goddess of the bond market recover, so I may go to the Hamptons".
