THE BOWERY—A high-level Racked informant tells us that there are packs of chiseled male models roaming the East Village handing out discounts for the recently rebranded Lacoste L!ve store in Soho. If they give you a red alligator (see above), that entitles you to an $80 Lacoste shirt for only $20. [RackedWire]

BOERUM HILL—Eco-friendly LES shop Kaight is opening a second outpost on at 382 Atlantic Avenue between Bond and Hoyt Streets. Stop by on Saturday between 6pm and 9pm for an opening party featuring 15% off fall clothing and accessories from brands like Elizabeth Gillett, Collina Strada, and STUDY by Tara St. James.
