SOHO—Danish furniture company Hay is coming to the states in the form of a pop-up at where else, MoMA's Soho design shop. As of next Tuesday, the Hay Mini Market will bring its minimalist Scandinavian pillows, coat hangers, and everything in between. If you're not already convinced, the New York Times called the brand "the COS of couches," so.

WILLIAMSBURG—If you combine pool parties and champagne, there's pretty much no way to have a bad time, which is what Veuve Clicquot is counting on. Tomorrow from 4pm to 8pm at the McCarren Hotel, guests of the hotel or pool can score a free champagne-soaked ice pops with every glass purchase ($18). Afterwards, head inside the hotel from 8pm to midnight for a rosé-themed party with live music and menu pairings.

SOHO—Speaking of popsicles, the Lipstick Queen cart returns to Bloomingdale's in Soho on Saturday, where they'll set up shop at the SpaceNK beauty counter. Stop by for complimentary lip treatments and a fruity popsicle—it's all in honor of the brand's new lipstick, Frog Prince.

SOUTHAMPTON—Here's a huge incentive to trek to the Hamptons next weekend: Fitness apparel brand Bandier's first-ever Southampton Sweat is going down Saturday, August 29th, where there'll be a day's worth of fitness classes from studios like Tone House, Flybarre, Gotham Gym, AKT, Fhitting Room, Flywheel, and Y7, plus complimentary massages, healthy snacks from Juice Press, gift bags and music by Republic Records. Best of all, it's free! To reserve your spot, head here (we recommend doing so quickly).

SOHO—Eyewear brand Morgenthal Frederics will hold its semi-annual sale starting today and running through the next two weeks, until August 30th. Frames on sale start at $100 and include 20% off lenses, but for the visually blessed, there'll also be sunglasses. It's all going down at the brand's Soho store (399 West Broadway).
