New Yorkers may complain about the dog-in-crate feel of winters – nobody’s out, slippery sidewalks, and not enough scotch to go around, yet when summer’s heat creeps around, some New Yorkers (don’t worry, we know you’re out there) tend to like the cooler climes where A/C rules, and UV rays are none the wiser. For the NYC Party Girl or Boy who wants to keep that shiny sheen to a minimum, there’s plenty of places to roam - all the while making like you partied in the Cayman’s for a hot minute. In June, the party in New York is always evolving. Case in point, the number of bar openings in June. Here are a few: Casa Mezcal: Think of it as an authentic Mexican cantina, but north of border, no fear or running into Juarez-style cartel here. Casa Mezcal is just as the name says, a bar dedicated to the many flavors of mescal. Beverages include free flavoring bites of orange, salt and agave worms. Upstairs: Another rooftop bar, this one’s located on the 31st floor of Kimberly Hotel and is 4,000 square feet of lux. Can anyone say heated floors, 360 degree views, and retractable glass ceilings and walls. Branded Saloon: Hold onto to your steed, Branded takes cowboy culture to new heights. For your pleasure, Branded has an authentic foot-powered piano complete with ragtime and Western tunes, 12 microbrews, of course, plenty of whiskey. Yeeee-Haw! Loreley Williamsburg: For the beer garden enthusiast. This sister locale of the LES German beer pub, Loreley is modeled after the famous Brauhaus in Cologne, and has all of your favorite German beers (Hofbrau Maibock, Spaten Lager, Kranz Koelsch to name a few). Done Drinking: Shop till You Drop Need a break from the bar scene? Take some time out for retail therapy. June offers sales galore- a perfect excuse to find yourself some new threads while shopping for that ideal birthday gift. Sample sales abound and New York ’s got them every week. In June Helmut Lang, Vena Cava, Catherine Malandrino and Y-3 are offering steeping discounts on designer duds. Of course, there’s always Saks, where you not only shop, but also can throw a cocktail party or corporate reception. Plus, Saks has two powerhouse restaurants with a delectable selection of international fair. There are new boutiques opening up in June as well: Black Gold: This Brooklyn boutique offers a speakeasy feel and an electic mix of records, taxidermy and antiques. Longchamp has a new home. Two words: Parisian Chic Petit Boudoir: a new vintage store with designer finds like Givenchy and Ralph Lauren. Jumbo pop-up shop: Sneaker paradise So there you have it, for a cool ride in NYC you can do a little afternoon shopping, then don the new threads for the party later. |
