What To Do This Weekend In NYC, May 17-19

Michael White’s got a new restaurant – and it’s here in the form of a steakhouse. Costata opens today, Friday, May 17, so make reservations to impress your date at Soho's newest red meat temple.

Questlove and renowned restaurateur Stephen Starr (Morimoto, Buddakan) are opening their gourmet fast food eatery, Hybird in the Chelsea Market with a food truck-like facade, on Saturday, May 18 at 10am. Get there for the signature fried chicken, “Love’s Drumsticks”, which you may remember from the chicken challenge on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last year with Momofuku’s David Chang. And just in time for summer, grab a Watermelon-Jalapeño “Love Slush" to cool down.

Free Shake Shack Burgers?!? Delta Air Lines is opening a new terminal at JFK – with a Shake Shack in it. From May 19 – 22, they’ll be giving away passes in SoHo for a free burger! Visit Delta's T4X "experimental space" at 376 West Broadway for the free “burger pass” to enjoy a complimentary Shack Burger. There're a limited number of passes, so if you’re up for waiting in the presumably long line, just to wait in the Shake Shack line, then this deal is for you! 

I'll be spending this sunny spring weekend relaxing, running along the East River and catching up with girlfriends. Happy Friday xo
