FROM PERKS
Allow us to introduce you to the finest wireless earbuds this side of the Great Lakes: Acend-1 True Wireless Earbuds, which happen to be 34% off. They’re designed in Detroit, have insane battery power, won’t fall out, feature dual microphones and so many more creature comforts. They’ll even play music.
NOT-SO-SILENT AUCTION
Delano, the Art Plug and Doheny Room are teaming up for an event and silent auction wherein 100% of the proceeds go toward the victims of the Parkland tragedy. Works include prints and sculptures of gun parts encased in Lucite that were turned in through gun buyback, amnesty programs or confiscated from crime scenes. Go to this.
OUT TO LUNCH
It’s like Stiltsville knew you needed some Cajun oysters with spicy Andouille sausage remoulade and a post-work coconut-rum-and-ginger-beer concoction. So they started serving lunch and also created a happy hour. Possibly just for you. Possibly for others, too.
MARKET VALUE
And just like that, the Design District has its own food hall, too. It’s got a dozen spots like Coop for southern comfort food, Itamae for Peruvian-sushi, Mayhaw for craft cocktails, Chef Chloe and the Vegan Cafe for dessert, plus a very photogenic, rainbow-hued wall of books for Instagram purposes. Obviously.
TAP OUT
The Riverside Market, Native Brewing and the Restaurant People all got together, decided Fort Lauderdale needed more beer and opened Tarpon River Brewing. So suddenly there’s a new taproom and restro in a 1920’s warehouse with a crowler-filling station, yard games and jumbo pretzels with beer-cheese. Nice teamwork, guys.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Just when you thought your cravings for Blue Ribbon fried chicken were relegated to traditional business hours, the Plymouth deliciousness hub goes and extends the full dinner menu until 2am. Which means you can have that, plus things like Japanese kobe beef strip steak and sashimi until 2am. Just making sure that was clear.
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.
