2-6pm Sat, Dec 20th at Astor Center: 399 Lafayette St, at E 4th; 212.674.7501

Abetting your lazy decision to just give alcohol, Astor's hosting a tasting bash of their downstairs liquor store's finest: $15 gets you four hours to sample 18 wines and champagnes (Albarino Amarone, Chateau l'Ermitage de Bel-Air...), plus half a dozen spirits, from Coole Swan Irish Cream, to 1921 Blanco Tequila, to single malts from Tomintoul, named for the Aztec god of...Scotland.

This beefcase arrives complete w/ two 37oz USDA prime porterhouse steaks, one 12.6oz bottle of signature old fashioned sauce, one black apron w/ gold logo, one 12x16in cherry-wood cutting board w/ juice groove, and a satchel of eight foil-wrapped milk chocolate coins -- nobody does Hanukkah like Peter Luger.

Hit this Bklyn-based web shop for custom-colored tees and bags graphic'd with iconic 80s collages: cassette tapes, video game controllers (ColecoVision, NES, Atari...), even breakdancing moves like the Jimmy Fingers, the Baby Freeze, and others so perfectly captured, subway riders will avert their eyes to avoid giving you spare change.
