Gear: Duke & Winston Tees
This Philly line's latest drop is highlighted by detailed gray-scale prints of English iconography: Sir Winston Churchill, the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, and the Gin Craze of the 1700s when "people in England drank ungodly amounts of gin and the whole country went bonkers", known in Old City as "Tuesday".
Grab some crumpets, then snag a tee at Duke-Winston.com
Chip 'n' Dip: Salsa Cook-Off
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a free special (mention "Thrillist for a shot of Beam and can of PBR) to wash down a slew of salsa mixes whipped up by local kitchen caperers; or, bring your own for a shot at the title and a TBD cash prize -- if you're running short on time, just pick up the Pace.

During the onetime smack-central's first attempt at such an event, grab deals at around a dozen restaurants, ranging from no-frills ($10 for Green Rock Tavern's Burger 'n' Brew; breakfast entrée, coffee, and fruit at Mercer Cafe), to some frills ($20 entrée, app, and beverage at New Wave Cafe), to “Let's spend dinner twiddling our foodie beans about how we can't believe this is Fishtown!” (three courses for $30 at Bistro Juliana or Johnny Brenda's).
Go: IndyHall 2.0 Launch w/ Mashable Mixer Philly
