LOWER EAST SIDE—Is there some sort of rule that all Freeman Alley businesses must be inspired by decades past? Given the prohibition-era old-timeyness of Freeman's and the Moulin Rouge aspirations of the Box, soon-to-open Alley jewelry store Fenton/Fallon feels downright current, since it takes as its muse the relatively recent 1980s. More specifically, owner Dana Lorenz tells the Cut that "she decorated the spot with Sigourney Weaver's Working Girl townhouse in mind." What this means, per the Cut's slideshow: Pink neon, a pink chair shaped like lips, and a pink-accented Patrick Nagel print. As children of the '80s, we find this very exciting.

MEATPACKING DISTRICT—Tomorrow night, design store Auto hosts a preview for Variegated's extremely classy dog products. From noon to 8pm at the store's 805 Washington Street's location, get 10% off the company's wares; if you go after 6pm, you'll also find cocktails. (We're assuming you'll also find Auto's wirehaired vizsla, Edie—as in Sedgewick, naturally.) [Racked Inbox]
