This Babka Donut Has Your Hangover in Mind And This Sushi-Making Class Has Your Date in Mind By Ginger Harris
Wednesday
FROM PERKS
The Stuff Bogart Would’ve Drunk
Of all the gins, rums and vodkas in all the towns in all the world… this holy trinity of small batch spirits straight from the California craft distillery of the Humphrey Bogart Estate and the co-founder of Patrón are the ones Bogart would approve of most. You can quote us on that.
MEAT UP
BLT Steak Reopens in New South Beach Digs
Remember when BLT Steak was on Ocean Drive? Well, it’s not anymore. Now it’s tucked away in the newly revamped Berkeley Hotel on Collins, where you can have things like steak tartare tacos and foie gras empanadas. Or robust vintage wines on lushly landscaped patios, because those are nice, too.
Thursday
TOME RAIDER
Let's Read Some Real-Live Books, Shall We...
Just when you thought little indie bookstores were a thing of the past, Exile Books stops being a pop-up and sets up permanent shop in Little Haiti, bringing its collection of local magazines and books along with it. Sometimes being wrong feels so right.
Friday
THERE’S THE RUB
There's No Such Thing As Too Many Spa Months
Sadly, it’s called Spatember. Gloriously, it’s where, for the entire month of September in Fort Lauderdale, you can find things like reflexology pedicures from Emena Spa’s footmaster and Swedish massages with a scalp ritual at the Red Door spa for 50% off the normal prices. Fair trade.
Saturday
SUSHI ROLL CALL
Sushi, Unlimited Sake and Your Date
Here’s something you probably didn’t expect to learn on a date: how deep your sushi skills go. Sign up for Kiji Cuzco’s boozy Sushi With a Twist class, where you’ll sip unlimited sake or mimosas while learning the art of sushi-making from a chef. Not this time, dinner and a movie.
Sunday
WHAT ABOUT BABKA
A Babka Donut for Your Morning-After Pleasure
Hangovers suck. The Salty Donut’s new babka donut with homemade mini babka soaked in simple syrup, then stuffed in chocolate marbled babka brioche and topped with chocolate and nut streusel, does not suck. As you were.
What Else Is New
UP IN SMOKE
What Are the Best Fall TV Shows to Watch High?
We answered that question, and many more, in last week’s fall TV preseason questionnaire. This week, we dove into the brave new world of marijuana-related sex products, as well as the ten people causing the most panic for the Trump administration right now. Enjoy responsibly.
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.
