Sir Drake Barbeque Tomorrow Evening

Achieve the Impossible Tee

Sir Drake, if you didn’t know, is one of the coolest new brands out.  They specialize in polo’s with 8 different icons meaning different things – like a flying pig to represent “achieving the impossible.”  Their collection also includes some cool t-shirts (which we picked up @ Blue & Cream on The Bowery), as well as henley’s and a $800 Quiviut hat (made from Quiviut, which is the most rare fiber in the world).  The details for the event are listed below.

Where: 250 W. 50th St (off 8th Ave) – Suite 23L

When: Wednesday, July 30th, from 530 p.m – 930 p.m.

What: Sir Drake is having a BBQ with drinks from Natural Ice (to give it that well sought after frat-party feel) and Aristocrat Vodka.  Their summer line is going to be discounted (probably to what their website mark-down prices are) to make room for their Fall collection.

Who: Good looking people who know the Sir Drake guys, or read this blog.

Why: Because there is free food/drinks and clothes…what else do you want?!

This is a “friends and family” only event; however, we’re members of their Facebook group (which you should join by clicking here) and saw it on Facebook, so it must not be too private – - and you must be cool enough to go if you read this blog!

The Thompson L.E.S. “Opens”

Picture from QuikBook.com

The new hotel, Thompson L.E.S., across from the soon-to-be-hot-spot The Eldridge, is kind of open, but not really.  Curbed gives us a list of what is and what isn’t ready in the hotel yet.

Lobby: ready, beware rogue stepladders
· Second-floor lobby lounge: Seemingly ready; presence of blown glass decor detected from street
· Spa: not ready
· Andy Warhol swimming pool: not ready
· Restaurant not ready (N.B. restaurant name has just been revealed, and friendly woman on phone tells us that before the restaurant opens “we’ve made arrangements with local restaurants for delivery service,” aka, it seems they’ve collected some menus)
· Bar/rooftop bar: not ready
· In-room minibars: ready and, we quote, “fully stocked” (by Dean & Deluca)

Judging from the list of “ready and not ready” amenities, we say you need to wait a little bit before you want to do an overnight there anytime soon, with rates starting at $299/night.

New Blog Name?

We have been running domain through a re-direct off our AMnightlife.com website and wanted to run our blog directly through a new “AMLifestyle.com” domain, but IT IS ALREADY TAKEN!! We need new domain names and since it is you (the readers) who have to type the domain name into the URL box to view our site, we’d like it if you can leave any suggestions in the comments page of what we should name the site. A new domain name and appearance of the blog should be in effect within one month so be on the lookout for AM Lifestyle 2.0!
