The weekend’s putting it all on North Carolina A&T.

PERK ALERT

25% Off Spring Handsomeness

This week, you’re getting 25% off swimsuits, ties and other warm-weather gear from Lake Como’s Mitchumm Industries. (Clooney’d be proud.) Plus: framed letterpress prints of whiskey, pork and other refined essentials from the Southern gents at Bearings, and majestic, hand-painted animal heads from White Faux Taxidermy. Your walls deserve Perks, too.

HOLLYWOOD ENDING

A Ton of Famous Stuff for the Taking

Today: a great day for new spring clothes. Like a suit from Frank Sinatra. Or a jacket from Steve McQueen. Or... any of the 815 iconic artifacts up for grabs at the Hollywood Legends auction. You can also pick up original photos of Marilyn Monroe wearing... a bedsheet. It’s really never a bad day for that.


411:	Julien’s Hollywood Legends, get in on the auction here

SPONSORED MESSAGE

COFFEE TALK

Coffee. The Best Kind.

Kahlúa would like to have a word with you... about how you take your coffee... Meet Kahlúa Midnight*, a 70-proof celebratory libation that’s a blend of rum and strong black coffee. Ask for it chilled, as a shot, with a slice of fresh orange. Yes, we suppose that could be breakfast.


411:	Available now, Kahlúa Midnight

BROWN SUGAR

Wearing Lake Tahoe at the Beach

You’ve probably never been told, “My, that’s a nice vintage photo of Lake Tahoe on your pelvis.” (Probably.) But Orlebar Brown aims to fix that. Namely, by putting a classic Slim Aarons shot of some Tahoe sunbathers on their new swimsuits. Funny how that works.

GREAT DANES

A Couple Noma Guys Want to Feed You

You know Noma. It’s your go-to for 20-course, Michelin-starred power lunches (booked three months in advance) in Copenhagen. But now, two of its sous-chefs started their own place: Bror. It’s the same expertly foraged Danish food, but slightly more casual. And slightly more called “Bror.”


411:	Bror, taking reservations starting Mar 27, whet your Danish appetite here

GLAD HAND

Corkscrew, Meet Finger Gun

At some point in the future, you and a date may drink some wine at your place. And to drink that wine, first you have to open that wine. Problem, meet solution: this absurdly wonderful brass molding of a finger gun... with a corkscrew hiding in the barrel. Nothing could possibly go wrong after that.

THE LARD WAY

Just a Huge Online Depot of Good Stuff

Here’s what you have here: fancy bitters. Bacon peanut brittle. Sri Lankan cinnamon. Pasta noodles shaped with bronze molds in Italy. Just a huge treasury of things that make your mouth water, your taste buds tingle and your cocktails go down a little easier—all shipped from Brooklyn. You knew Brooklyn would be involved.
