Hump This
Fashion Gear: Mackage Pop-Up
829 Washington St, near West Little 12th; Meatpacking; 212.255.3807
This first-ever retail location for the high-end jacketeer's offering a fresh line of trim-fitting urban outerwear, including lamb leather jobs like the hip-length, four-pocket Harry and the 3/4-length, down-filled, fur-trimmed Sam hoodie; sleek wools like the Chuck, which rocks a leather zip closure and collar; and a rain jacket called the Rusty that can be packed into a pocket to save space, as opposed to the Rusty Staub, whose pockets are already filled with delicious BBQ Ribs.
Shop runs through Sept 30th, or be lazy and buy the line at Mackage.com
Street Gear: A Bathing Ape Pirate Store
Starts Thursday, 12pm; 286 Lafayette st, btw Prince and Houston; SoHo
Starting tomorrow, the silverbacks of Japanese street wear are setting up shop for just five days, bringing with 'em discounts of 50-70% on select archived & factory second helpings of their frequently colorful polos, tees, buttondowns, jackets, and highly sought-after, oft-laminated leather kicks, though if your chums are all in this year's line of eye-catching Japanese threads, well then won't you feel like the monkey.
Current goods're available full price at Bape.com
 |  | Game On: Smirnoff
Pre-game essentials: music, fascinating kitchenware, and a classic vodka cocktail mixed with Smirnoff. Get tips on all that, plus an amazing joke about the home country of Hedo Turkoglu, at there.smirnoff.com   | | |  |
Drink: Blaue Gan Happy Hour
Fri-Mon; 139 Duane St, at W Broadway; Tribeca; 212.571.8880
This Labor Day weekend, mention Thrillist when wandering into the airy homage to all things Austrian and prepare yourself for $3 half-liter steins of Bitburger Premium Pilsner, plus a gratis homemade soft pretzel. Want the pretzel without the beer? No wonder nobody invited you to the beach this weekend.
Tickets: StubDog
Just launching in NYC today, this e-ticket outlet passes along exclusive, 50%-plus discounts on unsold tickets to a range of shows, from jazz gigs at Birdland, to stand-up at Comic Strip Live, to roller derby out on Strong I, to everything from Elton John cover bands to Poppa Chubby at B.B. Kings. In previous markets they've also coupled with pro sports teams, keeping your foolishly optimistic dream of $2k Yankees tickets alive.

Stare: Welcome To The Dog House
Just submit a pooch photo to this born-and-bred NYC artist and animal lover, and you can either have him immortalized in an oil painting impersonating the cartoony subject of your choosing (WWII fighter pilots! Winston Churchill!), or drawn up as a tattoo design to bring to your ink man; there's also bizarre-ish original works both canine and otherwise, from a smiling French bulldog contemplating suicide, to a Boston terrier wrapped in bacon and stabbed with an olive'd toothpick, to a sloth blissfully holding a bag of cheetos, which is wildly inaccurate since everybody knows Sloth loves Baby Ruuuuuuths.
Ogle with an option to buy at WelcomeToTheDogHouse.net
