The Bite:
Searching for rare fashion-y things that are also fly? Spotted: Bird in Brooklyn. This chic boutique stocks accessories and trendy threads – tees, dresses, denim - from APC and 3.1 Phillip Lim, plus eco-lines like Green Bird and PI Organic (its Organic Cotton Deep Racer Tee's on sale for $19 right now). Take a gander at the essential oil soaps like lavender and oatmeal from Saipua too. Bird just got its own makeover (including huge windows that make the most of natural light and salvaged wood paneling throughout) and is aiming for LEED Silver certification. For $30, you can tour the space tomorrow with the design team - no binoculars required.
Wanna Try: 
Bird, 203 Grand St., Brooklyn. Map It (718-768-4940). Saipua Lavender Oatmeal Soap, $10.

Cocktail Fact

Pigeons can fly as fast as 100 MPH.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters buy a T-shirt made from organic cotton instead of conventional cotton, we’ll keep the weight of 278 Canadian geese in pesticides outta the environment.
