How to spend the perfect day in the Lower East Side, NYC

The Grey Lady is anything but dull, especially on Tuesdays, when the eatery is lively with laughter during its free comedy night (9pm). On August 14, Gary Gulman (as seen on Netflix) and Mark Normand (Comedy Central) will share their best jokes while you munch on seafood delights like the Lady’s Lobster Roll or the bacon-wrapped scallops.

Take advantage of the daiquiri days of summer while the weather still suits tropical cocktails. (If we’re being honest, it’s always tiki time.) This cozy oyster bar stirs up a sweet, refreshing iteration, the Pineapple Express, made with pineapple rum, lime juice and pineapple syrup. We’re licking our lips just thinking about it.

This rock & roll shop sells kickin’ merchandise like Grateful Dead and Blondie shirts. Fittingly, it also offers tattoos thanks to professional inker and TV personality Megan Massacre. Book an appointment to get tatted on-site (prices start at $200), then scoop up some edgy apparel and accessories to match your new, badass art.
