FROM PERKS

            Behold: A Magnum of Cristal 2007

Like the old saying goes: the more [Champagne], the merrier. So we got you a magnum of Cristal bubbly. Not
only that, but this particular 2007 vintage garnered 95 points from Robert
Parker Wine Advocate. Luckily, it’s been real humble about it.

Thursday

WE’LL DO IT LIVE

            Live at Lido Is Decidedly Back at the Standard

Remember that live music series that the Standard used to have? Well, it’s back. And its revival starts with
a performance by Millionyoung. There will also be Jolt Radio doing a DJ set. There will also be you,
waterfront, drinking drinks and bobbing your head under the stars. We were promised stars.

Friday

SHORE THING

            Not That You Needed One, But Here's an Excuse to Have Drinks

The lobby at 1 Hotel is now called Drift. It’s an earthy cocktail lounge where you’ll find rum drinks, plus
croquetas and truffle fries from Pubbelly’s Chef Jose Mendin. Maybe bring a date. Maybe make a whole thing
of it. These are just suggestions, mind you.

DULY NOTED

            Symphony Under the Stars in the Design District: Happening

It’s not every day you get to watch the Miami Symphony Orchestra and guests perform a gratis concert
produced by multi-Grammy Award winner Emilio Estefan alfresco amid the art and beauty of the Design
District. No, it’s not every day. In fact, it’s only this Friday.

Saturday

HAKUNA MIMOSA

            You Will Brunch Here. You Will Brunch Hard.

There are some situations that only an Italian brunch can cure. Situations like any night before said
Italian brunch. Which is why you’ll want to hit up the Alley’s new one for Panetone French toast with
bourbon-fig compote and everything pizza bagels with smoked salmon. And other reasons, but those’ll do for
now.

HORSE PLAY

            Horses and Champagne and Dancing and Stuff

If you thought the Pegasus World Cup could use a more clubby vibe, well… here you go. LIV Boardwalk
Village is hitting Gulfstream Park for the race, with food from Komodo, Planta and OTL, and a concert where
people you hear on the radio will be doing what they do. Playing music mostly.

What Else Is New

ON BEAUTY

            We Found the Most Beautiful Bar Carts in Existence

And we put them all right here for you. We also thought you should know about this trendy new
iPhone app, called “Die with Me” (it’s not what you might think it is). Finally, we celebrated yesterday’s Oscar nominations by
giving out superlatives for most politically motivated snub, most jealous non-nominee and more…

On a typical Wednesday, Ginger Harris is likely seeking reposado tequila, squeezing her way to the front of a concert or jumping on the back of an Indian motorcycle. That’s just Wednesdays, though.
