FROM PERKS
There are certain things you look for in a good travel companion. Attractiveness. Adventurousness. Agility… Case in point: these sleek new hard-sided spinners from the packing geniuses at Genius Pack. And they’re going for over 20% off just in time for high season.
TABLE IT
River Yacht Club is about to launch a weekly dinner series dubbed the Table. It’s where you squire your date to a giant alfresco table for 40 that’s been generously outfitted with champagne and a three-course meal. That’s why they’re calling it the Table, see.
A STAR IS BORN
You know that VIP lounge at the Fillmore with the separate entrance that you’ve been to before concerts? Well, it’s its own private club now. Something to consider if you’re in need of a space for a party. Or just some vodka while you watch things happen on stage. Or just some vodka.
KEEP CALM AND CARILLON
Massages make nice gifts. For yourself. For others. Like your dad. Skip the World’s Greatest Dad mug and send him to the Carillon for a massage at $40 less than normal instead. Afterward, tell him to hit the Thermal Experience’s aromatic igloo, heated loungers and crystal steam room. Mugs be damned.
WAVE HELLO
Here’s a fake holiday you can actually get behind. Mostly because on Saturday, you can use gratis surfboards and paddleboards, then hit a party at F1rst Surf Shop after, where a donation to Surfrider grants you gratis rum and beer drinks. Right. Saturday’s International Surfing Day, by the way.
TOP OF THE POPS
Brunch at Nikki Beach with paella stations, pasta made on-site, custom omelets and Nutella waffles is good. Retro brunch with soda jerk stations and bourbon milkshakes is even better. Add in ’50s-style dancers, a Bloody Mary bar and a DJ and… anyway, your dad will totally be into this brunch.
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.
