Tic-Tac-Weekend
FROM PERKS
Less is more. Take the lacy undergarments, bodysuits and swimwear from Fleur du Mal. And then, hey, take an extra 15% off those things with the discount code URBANDADDY. Not the most creative discount code in the world, but, really, who cares?
YOU’RE IN STEEP
There’s a new performance art/tea joint in town called Tea & Poets. You’ll find live music and the occasional spoken-word night there. But also, a tea bar. With concoctions like the Green Dragon, made with gunpowder green tea, lime, sugar and firewater bitters. Gunpowder and fire: what could go wrong?
FRIED AND TRUE
Sweet Liberty is now the only place you can indulge in plates of Michelle Bernstein’s famous buttermilk-marinated fried bird. And for $39, they’ll throw in a side, some dessert and one of their Tales of the Cocktail–approved drinks. Synergy, people. Synergy.
LUNAR LANDING
What you’ll find at Concrete Beach’s full moon masquerade:
—Beer.
—3D projections.
—Silent disco.
—Telescopes and a live electricity demo by the Frost Museum of Science.
Beer pairs well with knowledge.
CRO-MAGNON
Croquetas: they’re arguably Miami’s primary source of sustenance. And on Friday night, 20 purveyors of the deliciously fried food ball will be competing for top honors. You’ll get to taste each one while enjoying Night Owl cookies, beer from Biscayne Bay Brewing and Cuban coffee. Strong secondary sources of sustenance.
NEVER SAY DIE
… watching The Goonies in 35mm. At O Cinema Miami Beach. They’ll have beer and wine at the concession stand, too. Which is the preferred method of taking in the Truffle Shuffle in all of its glory.
Jackie Gutierrez-Jones finds unhyphenated names quaint. She believes that croquetas and gin cocktails are suitable precursors to running and hoisting heavy weights over one’s head.
