Newsweek

Our top picks for the week

Watch “Star Trek: The Original Series.” This high-def version of season one goes where it’s never gone before: 29 episodes and on-set home movies and special collector cards. A must-have for Trekkies, but other people might want to tune in to see William Shatner before he was the Priceline Negotiator ($133; amazon.com).

Hear “Sawdust,” by the Killers. B sides aren’t a dirty word here. They, along with rarities and covers and a one-off track called “Tranquilize,” featuring Lou Reed, make up this album, dedicated to the people that made the Killers who they are: the fans ($9.99; amazon.com).

Eat New York strip steaks from Gallagher’s. This New York dining institution has been dry-aging luscious cuts of beef since 1927. Now you can have them overnighted fresh, not frozen, to your house ($79; newyorkfirst.com).

Read“100 Words to Make You Sound Smart.” If you find yourself at a loss for four-syllable words, this slim tome will give the right smarty-pants word for every occasion. We like “dogmatic” and “obdurate” ($6; barnesandnoble.com).

Go to Detroit to see the newly renovated Detroit Institute of Arts, a six-year, $158 million project that includes an additional 35,000 square feet of gallery space and more than 5,000 works on display (opens Nov. 23; dia.org).
