Summer is officially over, but don’t fret, the fun doesn’t have to end. Bring good times indoors with our friends at Clinton Hall. Since their official launch in 2013, we’ve visited several of their locations and we’ve never had a bad time. The family-friendly bar and restaurant are known for its playful atmosphere, extensive beer list and delicious menu of comfort food favorites. Clinton Hall’s main purpose is to get people together. To further their mission each establishment has communal tables, shareable snacks and a collection of popular board and card games. If you stop by the 36th Street location you may even get the chance to try your luck at Drag Bingo!

The House of Peroni has returned to New York City. Located in SoHo, the three-day pop-up celebrates a range of forward-thinking artists and creatives, including Robert Montgomery, Lauren Machen, Patrick Hughes, Annie-B Parson, Brandon Franklin and more. This time around it was curated by musician St. Vincent. When speaking on the curation, St. Vincent says, She says “I’ll be drawing upon the surrealism of Fellini, the whimsy of the Memphis movement, and the vibrancy of the modern Italian culture to curate various multi-medium experiences that are ultimately inspired by Italian art, culture, and design. I’m excited for what’s to come.”
The public popup will run Oct. 5 to 8 in SoHo (201 Mulberry St) with a schedule of performances, talks and artistic installations. For more information and to find out when the pop-up is heading to a city near you, visit Houseofperoniusa.com.
