FROM PERKS
This is a box. Inside the box is everything you need to brew beer at home. It might be an amber ale, maybe a red ale, maybe an IPA or a stout. Whatever it is, it’s going to be easy and you’re going to need to think of a name.
TRUE NORTH
Well, it’s finally over. A few days in the Keys are probably in order. Related: 24º North. It’s a new hotel reminiscent of a Cuban “casa particular.” You’ll find photography of the island throughout, an oversize map of Cuba on the rooftop floor and a pool for… and you’re gone.

Bad news: Michael Mina’s Pizza & Burger pop-up has reached the end of its run.
Good news: Because it’s permanent now. So you can get your fill of bacon-and-egg pizzas
and dry-aged burgers with double-smoked bacon pretty much whenever.
Not news: Your fondness for double-smoked bacon.
HAPPY-GO-LUCKY
Yes, your favorite Asian-inspired food bazaar is back. Expect:
—Multiple gin cocktail bars.
—Food stations from Pao by Paul Qui, Matador and Katsuya.
—A Chinese dragon dance pictured to your left.

Oh, look. Burlock Coast is turning one.

Crazy how they grow up so fast.
