An umbrella-tabled respite opening in the Palace Hotel's gated, stone-tiled courtyard (not in service since Le Cirque bailed four years ago), PG's serving up the bar menu from double Michelin-starred Gilt (suckling pig tacos, thin crusted pizza, oysters, yuzu koshu chicken wings) plus all new bevs like the daily-rotating, sangria-like "Palace Punch", the single-batch blue agave Sombra Mezcal "Mariposa", and the Brazil-tuckian "Pineapple Mint Julep", made with Woodford Reserve -- evoking the pageantry of small men riding thoroughbreds, and the pageantry of thongs riding up small men.

From a NY-born designer inspired to create his own underwear after losing his luggage in Jodhpur (aren't we all?), 'wallahs are brightly-patterned skivvies made from a ridiculously soft 70/30 bamboo-cotton blend that "fits looser than boxer briefs and tighter than woven boxers" -- finally, the centrist "third way" of nard-swaddling.

Straight outta White Plains, this carnival-inspired site uses your webcam to photograph your mug inside cut-out frames, from stock stuff (guy with huge beard), to pop-cult icons (Spock, Lil' Mac from Punch Out), to historical figures (Lincoln, Napoleon), to vintage LP covers (Luis Alberto's "Mood for Romance"!). You can also adjust brightness, contrast, hue, etc, to match your skin tone to the cut-out -- because when it comes to imposing your grinning face on Weezy Jefferson, fidelity is paramount.

75% off a wide variety of premium duds ($60 double sewn, five-pocket jeans, $30 button-downs, $75 sweaters, etc) from Earnest Sewn, who are dedicated to the Japanese style aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi -- or, finding beauty in imperfection, though given that you'll be wearing this stuff, how much beauty is too much?

From Henry Blodgett's tech-biz blog, this brief post reveals a deviously simple way to bypass the pay-wall that restricts article access to the WSJ online, thus allowing you to genuflect at the altar of capitalism while simultaneously pilfering from its donation plate.

8-11pm tomorrow

Like an earth-seeking meteor with no Bruce Willis to explode it from the inside, the Internet is Out of Control. Since you can't stop it, enjoy the madness instead, at Thrillist's Internet Week bash, where you'll enjoy gratis Dos Equis and Jagermeister, plus Net-cocktails like the Rick Astley (whiskey and ginger ale), the Chris Crocker (peach schnapps and sake), and the Tay Zonday -- which would have chocolate rain in it, if anyone could figure out what it was.
