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,

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,

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.

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.

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.

Saturday

a candlelight tour in an 19th century home.

Walking through a darkened home with a group of strangers sounds scary enough to us, but make that home the Merchant's House Museum a.k.a "Manhattan's most haunted house", a preserved familial home from the 1800's, with a tour led by staff members who have personally encountered the inexplicable and the paranormal, all by candlelight, and you have the ingredients for a downright spooky experience. Tours run every half hour from 6-10pm on Friday & Saturday. $25, $13 for members. 29 E. 4th St. b/t Bowery & Lafayette.

Sunday

the old standby.

What would Halloween in New York be without the annual Village Halloween Parade? Between the crowds, the costumes, and the revelry it is an unforgettable marathon of a Halloween celebration. This year's theme of memento mori is sure to cast a morbid spin on the typically outlandish affair. Pack a Tiny's picnic and report back with photos for us! 6:30-10:30pm, 6th Ave. from Spring St. to W.16th St.

It'd be tempting to only focus on CMJ events this weekend, but there are, as always, plenty of interesting/fun/adorable/enlightening events to be endeavored in the LES, so we thought we would offer a little bit of both this weekend.

Eat & play well,

Menu Spotlight.

If a salad and a sandwich were to shack up, the Veggiest of Them All would most likely be their offspring. Think of it as a portable salad with a whole grain bread wrapper. This sandwich delivers a fresh explosion of crunchy, juicy, bright flavors ranging from the sammy classics (spinach, sprouts, tomato & onion) to the rich & creamy (avocado & Goddess dressing) topped off with cucumber, carrots, and roasted red peppers. Add cheese or turkey/tofu turkey for just a little bit extra and your belly will thank you.

Eat well,

veggiest of them all
