Originally, the new Nike SoHo store was set to open today, but on a trip to the neighborhood earlier today, we found out the new opening date, August 22. The store still has the “X” on the top window pane and newspapers on the other windows, so we still don’t know what the store looks like…guess we’ll have to wait til the 22nd.
Tomorrow evening from 7 p.m. - 1 a.m., French Tuesdays is taking over the best venues on 27th St. You can find them French Tuesday crew @ Marquee, Pink Elephant, and Cain. All events by FT provide great networking possibilities for successful business people who enjoy partying with an internationally elite crowd. If you are a member of French Tuesdays, or have a way in tomorrow night, you should go.

Nike’s new outpost on 21 Mercer St. (between Broome and Grand) is set to open in a formerly empty space we must have seen a dozen times uniquely marked with a “X” on its top window pane (shown above). We always wondered what was to be of this space, and now we know the “X” will likely be replaced with the Nike Swoosh. The Strategic Group (an events PR firm brought to you from the Marquee guys) is going to throw an event prior to the stores’ opening. The store is set to open 8-8-08, the same day the Olympics start and The Lab (a new arts/events space) opens. [Division]
Central Park now offers hot-air balloon rides through August 22nd. The rides will last 10 minutes and give you great views of the park and the rest of Manhattan. Four passengers and a pilot will descend ~300 feet in the air. The hours are: 7 a.m. - 10 p.m. - we’d recommend going at night because your balloon will be illuminated. Adults pay a reasonable $25/person and children under 12 years old are $17.50.
Lucky Strike, an upscale bowling alley will be coming to the Upper East Side. When and where? We have no idea…but they are hiring an event sales manager. Lucky Strike is big in L.A. (you might remember the guys from Entourage went there for Vince’s movie premiere…Drama took the juice-bag girl with him) and is finally making its way to us. There is even a dress code that is enforced to bowl…pretentious bowling, huh?…We’re all for it!!
Update #1: Take a look at the comments page for this post for more on Lucky Strike, including location and opening info!!
The old Dirty Disco space (next to The Plumm…back when The Plumm had a decent crowd) is re-opening as The Country Club of New York next Wednesday, the 23rd. There is going to be a stage for performances and a huge list of Bellini’s. If we’re out next Wednesday, we’ll sure be around for the opening to do a follow up with a brief review of our thoughts.
We know we don’t focus on women’s fashion as much as we should, but when we come across some good stuff, we share it. Tory Burch’s charity sample sale features 1,500+ items reduced by 50-80%.
