New York

From the NY-based charmers behind the "You Are a Douche" cards, these just-off-the-presses, professionally crafted business tools (crisp white face, glossy black backside) help you graciously thank all manner of tormentors, from the most competitive male suitor to the most casually dismissive girlfriend.

200 Park Ave, at 44th and Vanderbilt; 212.867.6767

A re-imagining of the same-named '60s restaurant, Fonda's trotting out modern Latin (sea scallop ceviche, whole black bass, prime rib, etc) and suds, e.g., Alhambra Negra, Otro Mundo Red, and Estrella Damm. Seating's split between the airy, windows-on-the-street downstairs cafe (open now) and the soon-to-open dining room, brightly carpeted and lorded over by immense circular chrome ceiling fixtures -- like the rings that imprisoned General Zod in the Phantom Zone of...Midtown?

At Rich Barretta Private Training: 1 W 22nd St, 2nd Floor, near 5th; 212.627.1496

Run by an intensively tatted former Mr. America, this superbly appointed training facility's offering a no-strings-attached New Year's deal: one gratis health evaluation (strength/endurance tests, nutrition eval, goal setting, etc) plus a separate, also gratis 1hr workout session. Each session's by private appointment and led by the same "lifer" trainers who whup Steve Nash into shape for the season, and David Blaine into shape for being punched by Kimbo Slice.

From NY-based Neighborhoodies and avail in any color t-shirt or zipperless hoodie, this design replaces traditional bathroom iconography (“Push Button, Dry Hands”) with hungry manography (“Push Button, Receive Bacon” -- far more enticing than "Please Don't Dispose of Bacon in the Toilet").

Compiled by Earfarm, this wonkishly detailed rundown of lesser known Brooklyn bands (the minimalist duo Dinosaur Feathers, the possibly Punch Out!!-inspired Glass Ghost, more) synopsizes each act, proffers free mp3s, and lists deets on their next performances -- mostly in Manhattan, so you can continue to appreciate Brooklyn without actually going there.
