FROM PERKS
You could use a new pair of well-designed, luxuriously crafted, go-to undies. Don’t ask how we know that. We just do. Which is why we’re setting you up with 25% off a selection of handsome underthings from Mr & Muse. It can be our little secret.
GLORIA GLORIA HALLELUJAH
Lechon flatbread just the way Gloria likes it. Emilio’s favorite mojito. All things you can have at the Estefans’ new high-end Cuban spot in the Design District. Have that last one at the oyster-shell mosaic bar while listening to live Latin music. The servers sing and dance, too, but that was probably a given.
PERFECT 10
Where were you on the night of March 9, 2007? Eating wood-roasted onions stuffed with ground lamb at Michael’s Genuine? Great. Do it again, when the legendary spot celebrates the big 1-0 with a temporary menu that reflects its first. Yes, the chile chicken wings make a triumphant return. Close one.
BAKED GOODS
Wynwood before the graffiti. There’s a thought. Well, Bakehouse Art Complex remembers those days, and it’s about to recall them as it celebrates its 30th year. Expect the usual party fanfare—cake, wine, music—along with less traditional elements like tours, history lessons and an exhibit opening reception. Careful, you might learn something.
ZUCCA PUNCH
There’s a new place to bring a date for dinner and drinks in Coral Gables called Zucca. Nona’s Mules with grappa and watermelon. Michelin-trained chefs churning out 32-ounce T-bone steaks dry-aged for 21 days. That kind of place. Maybe it’s just the one place.
FIT TO BE THAI’D
Naiyara launches its new Thai-inspired brunch on Sunday. You should go. You should have the Bloody with vodka, yellow tomato, cilantro and Thai bird chili. You should have it outside, while you take in the Sunset Harbor neighborhood between bites of Chiang Rai fried chicken and biscuits. Ah, Sundays.
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.
