Events
For Antiques fans: The Pier Antiques Show is this weekend and takes place at the Passenger Ship (52nd to 55th and 12th Ave), Terminal Pier 94 . There will be over 500 exhibits and is NYC's "largest & most comprehensive art & antiques event." Admission is $15 per person.
Holiday Market: Fêtes de Noël (Holiday Markets at Bryant Park) begins this weekend (up until December 30, 2007) and takes place in the area surrounding the newly added Pond Skating Rink.

It Pays to Shop: 7th on the Sale is back in NYC from November 15-December 6th! For the second time, everyday people can bid online for celebrity-worn gowns, magazine-worthy home goods, jewelry, and more. Look for new items daily, and as last year, 100% of the money raised goes to those living with HIV and AIDS. You can shop online or in person (located at 69th Regiment Armory, 68 Lexington Ave., at 26th St).

Free Bag? Oh My!: Muji, the Japanese retailer of furniture, home accessories, and more, will be opening its first US store in Soho on Friday. They'll be giving out free reusable shopping bags to the first 500 people who visit, and for the rest of the weekends, visitors will still get the bag free (after that, it'll cost $1). In order to stay "green," the store plans to reward shoppers who bring their bags for future shopping trips.

What NOT To Do:
DON'T go to Serendipity for good eats anytime soon; it has been closed indefinitely by the Department of Health for pest infestations .. yuck! I guess you all need to go find some other expensive cafe to waste your money on a chocolate milkshake (surprise! that's what the frrrozen hot chocolate really is!).
