The Weekend Guide

NYC Events and Diversions

We already feel stuffed.

WEAR
Limited-Edition Deyrolle Scarves
What: Opening Ceremony teamed with Parisian taxidermy boutique Deyrolle to create a silk scarf printed with a menagerie of exotic animals and insects.
Why: You’ve got no room for a stuffed tiger, but this $95 accessory easily fits into a drawer or, better yet, around your neck.
When: Available Sept. 10.
Where: 35 Howard St., b/t Crosby St. & Broadway (212-219-2688).

DECORATE
Modern Anthology Opens
What: Don’t let the framed nudes or piles of cattle bones intimidate you; there’s plenty of vintage and home goods for ladies in this new Dumbo boutique.
Why: If the reissued Stanley thermoses, classic barware, and retro French anatomy posters don’t thrill, hire owners/interior designers John Marsala and Becka Citron to source something that does.
When: Mon., by appt.; Tues.-Sat., 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sun., noon-6 p.m.
Where: 68 Jay St., b/t Front & Water Sts. (718-522-3020).

BOOK
The James New York
What: The newest ecofriendly place to rest your head has a Willy Wonka-ish glass elevator, salvaged keyboard button mural in the foyer, and a tri-level garden with herbs that will be used in the resto (opening Nov. 1).
Why: The enclosed glass rooftop deck and bar (and pool for warmer months) opens Oct. 1.
When: You need a staycation or you’ve got guests in town.
Where: 27 Grand St., at Thompson St. (888-526-3778).

When: Next Wed., 7:30-9 a.m.
Where: Various subway stops throughout Brooklyn.

CHOP
Tomahawk Salon
