Ain’t no sunshine when weekend’s gone.
FROM PERKS
You expect your pocket squares to be soft pieces of fabric with unique patterns. You don’t expect them to be made from internationally sourced linen with an edge crocheted by hand. Which means you’re in for a great surprise in a minute.
GREEK SQUAD
There’s a new Greek restaurant in the old Thasos space in Fort Lauderdale. It’s got salt-crusted fish, feta sticks, mastiha cocktails and a solid patio. Two guys from Estiatorio Milos are behind it. Nothing about any of those words strikes you as upsetting.
TO THE LIMITS
Austin City Limits is a pretty big music festival. The Redbury has a rooftop pool that hosts the occasional party. This weekend, the two will collide, resulting in you eating Mediterranean barbecue while watching a live stream of Kendrick Lamar with waterproof headphones from the comfort of your pool float. Synergy, people.
HAIR OF THE DOG
Us: Thug the Frenchie is hosting a happy hour this Friday.
You: You’re about to tell me about a happy hour hosted by a dog, aren’t you?
Us: Totally. It’s on the rooftop of the W and you should bring your own dog, too. Drinks
are five bucks.
You: Nice twist ending.
PIN-TEREST
No, you don’t need a reason to drive down to the Keys. But, yes, we’re going to give you one anyway. It’s this pool party at the Marker with a ’50s-style pinup competition, MIA beer and mojo-style roasted pig. Thanks for indulging us.
DE LA SOULMATE
DJ Maseo of De La Soul will be manning the turntables and performing at Rec Room this Saturday. Anyway, now you know what you’ll be doing Saturday night if you’re not in Key West, so that’s nice.
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.
