Proraso products don’t only display a century-long quality of Italian shaving, but also impeccable taste and style.

BOOK: Slutever by Karley Sciortino, $14

I started reading Karley Sciortino’s blog Slutever back in high school, and it became my unofficial guide to dating in NYC. Since then, she’s gone on to host a show on Vice, write a sex and dating column for Vogue, and write her first book! She really made it! And we’re proud of her. Her first book is an easy yet compelling and enlightening read (I finished it on a flight home from Milan) that thoroughly chronicles her personal experiences while engaging in a bigger sex positive conversation. Buy it here — it’s the perfect subway/beach book. – RQ

Head over to Ophelia, Manhattan’s latest rooftop newcomer, for drinks before everyone else swarms there too. Guests are invited to lounge on the 26th floor and ponder about the legendary patrons like Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, and Frank Zappa, once regulars of the restaurant that used to be in it’s place in the 1930s. The legendary Art Deco, Midtown East building pairs a sharp space with swoon-worthy views, secret gem atmosphere, and mixology. Date night? – AP
PARTY: HEAVEN ON EARTH: RIHANNA EDITION – $25, 3/3, 10:00pm – 4:00am
Are you gagging? Parties at China Chalet are fun because you can smoke inside and it’s basically your Grindr grid brought to life. Heaven on Earth, the monthly party that celebrates different pop divas, is obviously no exception. Now that Pisces season is in full swing, there’s no better time than now to celebrate Rihanna (she’s a Pisces). It also was just her birthday. RSVP to the party on FB here and make sure to get there early cause the line tends to get crazy. Also there’s supposed to be high winds tomorrow, so dress accordingly, but also flirty. – RQ
