27-24 Jackson Ave, Long Island City; 718.383.2724

From Sasha Petraske and his childhood pal/Milk & Honey bartender sidekick, DK's a plushly decadent den (handcrafted Bavarian woodwork, family heirloom paintings, a back-room crystal chandelier) tucked onto a stripped cab-littered industrial avenue that simply screams "fancily suspendered mixologist". Monthly-rotating drinks'll include Queens/Dutch-themed cocktails & punches peddled for the (kill yourself, because it's true) reasonable price of $9, while entertainment's provided by a Thurs-Sat lineup of musicians (jazz, blues, torch singers, etc) and an upright Hardman piano donated by the barkeep's mom, who asked that no jokes be made about the name of the piano.

87 Mercer St, between Spring and Broome; 212.966.9692

Armed with a huge circular mirror and huger priest's vestment reclaimed from a Mass. cathedral, this spankin new label's eponymous boutique is peddling a full line of bright-hued, lux-casual spring wear, running from striped Italian silk ties and Ital leather belts, to cashmere v-neck sweaters, cotton button-downs, and yacht shorts, plus seersucker suits and pinstriped jackets with silk inseams, all roughly inspired by the game of cricket (so they last forever, and aren't really suited for sports?).

Across from 68 Spring St, between Crosby and Lafayette; 212.334.4939

A cross-the-street annex from the Premium Laces kicksperts, this boutique peddles prized deadstock from the store's inventory and the owners' personal stashes. The cache runs deep on Dunks and AF1s, plus includes rarities like the first-ever Jordan Defining Moment Pack, and colabs like the Nike Stash AF1 and the Wii Pack's Air Max 95s and Sky Forces, in sleek white with transparent soles and power buttons on the tongues -- be sure to lace up, so they don't fly off and shatter your TV.

From the Spotcrime guys, this mobile police blotter first geo-locates you, then scours cop reports, blogs, and newspapers for the 20 most recent crimes nearby, which range from the poorly executed ("a van slammed into a police cruiser") to the masterful ("Morley ran out on his tab, leaving his keys and wallet behind. He returned a short time later and taunted the bartender" -- obviously, they should call this SpotHero).

April 30th thru May 2nd at Starworks: 5 Crosby St, Suite 3D, near Grand; 646.336.5920

Spurr's first-ever sample sale offers 65% off jeans, button-downs, suits, and sweaters inspired by a combination of vintage aesthetics and randomness ranging from street culture, to Saville Row, to 2001: A Space Odyssey -- don't worry: in space, no one can hear you preen.
