Best Weekend Ever 6.3.04

Featuring BMW, Yankees, and The Sopranos

Summer is a tricky season. There are so many things to start, places to indulge in, noble causes to consider, and of course, stupid tasks to do, that it’s no wonder we bring you… Rare Weekend, a guy’s guide to the weekend. Enjoy!


INDULGE IN
To Beemer or not to Beemer, that is always the question. But there’s something about Summer in a BMW Z4 roadster that makes 40K seem affordable, even cheap. And, now when you test drive any Ultimate Driving Machine of your choice, BMW will donate $1 per mile to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Motor on!

CONSIDER
We’re not sure why we’re obsessed with the Yankees this year… *cough* A-Rod! With New York’s favorite team finally slugging away, we can’t wait to see them beat Boston four weeks from now.

CHEAP THRILL
This being rent/mortgage/get-back-to-stocks week, you’ll probably want to consider something off the culinary beaten path (read: cheap). We recommend Itzocan Bistro in lovely East Harlem, Lex and 101st Street. For $15, you’ll get good food and better sangria. Persuade yourself further with the Times review.

MUST SEE TV
We probably don’t have to remind you this weekend is The Sopranos finale. We have no idea who’ll get whacked but we do know Phil will get some revenge and the Sixth Season will take too long to start. Watch it!

LAUNDRY LIST
You know that list of chores you never get done? We neither. But you probably have been meaning to fix that Hermès tie, right? May we recommend the crew at Tie Crafters. Not only is their service outstanding but their prices aren’t too bad either. Fix it before Fall.
