For somebody, today is going to be the day they treat themselves to a vintage 18K-gold Rolex or an Omega Seamaster or a Cartier watch with a perfectly weathered leather strap. And to that person, we say… “Damn,” and then probably text them that thumbs-up emoji.
GOOD ADVISE
Sales Are Great, and Here Comes a Big One
The good news: Supply & Advise is having an end-of-season sale. So you get 40% off of stuff like August Fifteenth shorts, Gant Rugger blazers and Gitman Vintage button-downs. Hopefully you’re not still awkwardly hanging out and waiting for a part about bad news.

Nice Time of Year for a Garden Bar
New weekday option to add to your roster: Villa Azur just opened up a new garden drinkery called Le Petit Bar, where you can partake of guava mojitos and blood orange sangria along with short rib croquettes and oysters. There’s something very right about croquettes in a garden.
Friday
STK YOUR CLAIM
There’s a New STK in Town
There’s an STK in Downtown now. You know, for people who like sitting out on patios by the boulevard while drinking adult juice boxes and eating Wagyu beef burgers and lobster mac and cheese. Just in case you know someone.

GO EAST
This Year, You Watch Lollapalooza Poolside
Just in case you aren’t in Chicago this weekend, East is livestreaming Lollapalooza on their fifth-floor pool deck. There’ll also be some silent-disco-ing and a photo booth to keep you entertained between sets. Bless their hearts.

ROLL THE SPICE
So You Need a Little Help Navigating Miami Spice...
Here comes Miami Spice again. To wit… If you’re the salty air type: Thyme at the Carillon Miami Beach is doing good things with chickpea panisse and braised short rib. If you’re the river type: Consider Seaspice and their mango scones and brisket melts by the river. If you’re both types: See above.
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.
