Due to the glorious weather and the approaching holiday weekend, we're knocking off a little early today. We'll see you right back here, bright and early, on Tuesday.
TIME SQUARE— From the PR box: "When the Times Square Alliance closes down Broadway in Times Square this Monday, May 25th, Virgil’s Real Barbecue will still be open – and serving free ribs!...join Virgil’s Real Barbecue from noon until 2pm in front of Times Square Information Center (7th Ave between 46th & 47th St) to enjoy a sampling of Virgil’s Ribs, while supplies last."

SOHO WEST— The first bottle of wine produced at New York's first winery, CIty Winery, is now on sale: "'Sohovignon Blanc' is now exclusively available for sale by the glass and carafe at City Winery...To celebrate the release, City Winery will be offering a free taste of Sohovignon Blanc to all diners at lunch through May & June." [EaterWire]
FIDI— Though it was thought for a moment that the shuttered and beloved FiDi coffee shop Klatch could reopen, that's apparently not the case. Huge For Rent signs now adorn the windows. [EaterWire]
RED HOOK— Red Hook brewery Sixpoint has added a second truck to its fleet: "No, its not another 18 wheeler semi-truck and trailer. Instead, its our ultra-utilitarian refrigerated box truck, which be used for concerts, events, and weekend and evening deliveries. It’s a bar on wheels!" [EaterWire]
