The List
Hump This
240 Central Park South, near Columbus Circle; 212.582.5100
From the Convivio chef, Marea's serving globo-sourced, Italian-inflected seafood (red sea bream, roasted turbot on the bone, seaweed marinated halibut), plus fresh-sliced and garnished crudo (geoduck clam, striped marlin, etc) and West/East coast oysters, from Nova Scotia's Bras D'Or, to Washington's Hama Hama. In back's white tablecloth dining w/ brown leather chairs and glass-enclosed wine racks, while up front's a sleek bar completely covered in translucent, back-lit onyx -- for letting the boys be boys and just slam bellinis.
Damn, this food looks good. Check it.

This 3D, Tron-ish iPhone app lets you search for bars/clubs/shops/etc, then zooms over Manhattan and swoops down on exact locations to provide venue info and user reviews. There's also a colorful subway system overlay, plus you can tap on any commercial building for a tenant list, like 205 Canal Street's Golden Bell Watches and Fancy Jewelry, Inc -- though when something's incorporated, you know it's fancy.

Launch party 6-9pm Thurs at 54 Bond St, near Bowery; 212.598.9355; pop-up runs May 14-21
Culled from the owners' mid-winter cross-country trek, this one week pop-up inside Billy Reid's parlor offers gratis Modelo brews (tomorrow only) and peddles vintage Americana like worn-in boots, Western snap-up chambray shirts, faded tees, military duds, and a custom men's cologne meant to conjure the smells of long road trips in the high desert -- nothing brings the ladies running like l'eau du jerky et Skoal.
