LES Weekend Guide.


Thanksgiving is just around the corner, by far one of our favorite holidays. We are super psyched to be involved in the annual Thanksgiving fundraiser, Cranksgiving, this Saturday. Read more about it below!


Happy weekend!


Eat well,


Tiny's

FRIDAY & SATURDAY
slash and dash.


Known for being one of the only films that Gene Siskel walked out on, MANIAC, the gratuitously glory slasher picture from the 80's (with the added credit of being banned in some countries) will be playing the midnight show at Sunshine Cinema this Friday & Saturday. Bonus: the director, Bill Lustig, will be in attendance for an audience q&a. 143 E. Houston Street.



SATURDAY
cranksgiving!


Cranksgiving 12 is going down this Saturday and we are thrilled to be among their official sponsors. What is Cranksgiving you ask? For twelve years running, the New York Bike Messenger Foundation has been convening with serious cyclists the weekend before thanksgiving to race & gather food for New York City's homeless population. All you need to participate is a bike, a lock, a bag, some cash and some courage. Registration begins at 2pm, the race kicks off at 3pm at Thompkins Square Park. 


ANS if you donate $25 to the Foundation, we will give you $6 off any of our sandwiches!


SATURDAY
magnificent beast.


Our friends at Anthology Film Archives are hosting a series of Cocteau films until the 21st, including one of our favorites by far, Beauty & the Beast. As Pauline Kael said: “[P]erhaps the most sensuously elegant of all filmed fairy tales. As a child escapes from everyday family life to the magic of a storybook, so, in the film, Beauty’s farm, with its Vermeer simplicity, fades in intensity as we are caught up in the Gustave Dore extravagance of the Beast’s enchanted landscape.…magnificent beast.” Stop by and tell us what you thought after!
Showing Saturday at 5:15. 32 Second Avenue. 


SUNDAY
round two.


And Sunday don't miss another Cocteau gem at Anthology Film Archives, the screening of 1950's Orpheus at 5pm.



SUNDAY
corn mo.


With an exhausting and eclectic musical resume (including a stint with the Polyphonic Spree), Corn Mo has found its home in its own special brand of exuberant piano rock that is as infectious as it is quirky and upbeat. Catch him at the early show at Mercury Lounge this Sunday. Doors at 6:30, show at 8:30. 217 E. Houston.

A tune for Tuesday.


Comprised of Ritzy Bryan, Rhydian Dafydd and Matt Thomas, the English trio The Joy Formidable create the kind of energetic sound that we crave at the end of the night as we rally to clean up before heading home. If you can rally on this sleepy grey day, stop by and see them play at The Bowery Ballroom tonight. The show starts at 8. Pop in and pre-game with us over one of our toasty, warm sammy's.


Eat well,

Tiny's

LES Weekend Guide.


This weekend calls for more of  this ridiculously beautiful late Autumn weather. With temperatures hovering in the 60's & sun filled, it's the perfect weather for a sandwich & a show or a stroll.


Friday, Saturday & Sunday
now smell this.

Fans and other mechanisms create an olfactory playground at the New Museum in Heague Yang's current installation Voice and Wind. It must be smelled to be believed. 235 Bowery Street. All weekend long.


Friday, Saturday & Sunday
El Camino dreams.

Salon 94 Bowery, right next to the New Museum of Contemporary Art, is currently featuring a show by artist Liz Cohen. An (actual) German Tramant & a Chevy El Camino marry in the work Trabamintino. As far as we are concerned, basically anything involving an El Camino inside of a gallery will get us on board.


Saturday
dance the night away.

Dance your face off at the Premium dance party at the Vault at Element. The Freedom's Party DJ's will be spinning a range of dance worthy music all night long. E. Houston St. at Essex. 11pm.


Saturday
down home music.


image via Horse Feathers
Catch the Portland Oregon based blue grassy quartet Horse Feathers at the Bowery Ballroom this Saturday and see what all of the fuss is about. Their string ballads and gorgeous melodies are the perfect accompaniment to the Fall. Doors at 8, show at 9. 6 Delancey Street.


Sunday
laugh your face off.

Pianos is one of our favorite places for catching a show after work, but what they are less known for is their weekly comedy showcase. Stop by Sunday at 7pm to check it out as they host a rotating cast of regulars and newbies alike. No cover. 158 Ludlow between Stanton & Rivington.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

A tune for Tuesday.


This week's music pick is dedicated to Hooray for Earth, who are currently playing a residency at Pianos, where they will perform every Wednesday through November. Grab a bite with us on the way so we can discuss the puppets in this video for Surrounded by Your Friends.

Eat well,
