Many of us (your correspondent included) spent this last weekend whiling away the hours on a sandy stretch of beach.
And a man who whiles is a man in want of activities.
Like this: the smart roll-up backgammon and checkers sets from Summer Shop, now available at various locations across the city and online.
This thing is delightful.
Made right here in NYC, the game doubles as a drawstring canvas bag.
And so: toss your towel, book and paddleball set into the bag, then smooth it out for a towelside game.
The chips, dice and tumbler are handsomely lathed wood — nary a chintzy piece of plastic to be found.
In addition to oceanfront gaming, S.S. also has your sunscreened back with dapper “getaway duffels” perfect for bigger beach gear.
(Ed. note: also discovered over the weekend? An ice-filled garbage bag placed inside a duffel makes an excellent makeshift beer cooler. Skills, y’all, skills.).
Plus: stylish gear for your pooch if you’re headed for canine-friendly shores, and shaker sets complete with “cocktail anchors” for post-beach libations.
While on, old boy. While on.
