The weekend is wearing a lei for some reason.
We’re getting you the exclusive on a couple one-of-a-kind shoes from the venerable Maine-based cobbling outfit, Rancourt & Co. (Ralph Lauren’s go-to guys.) Then we’re airmailing you three Bacon Explosions (enough said). And finally, we’re getting you half off a champagne-soaked endless summer at NYC’s hottest hotel. Just go with it...
Your new favorite grooming den is throwing a grand-opening party tonight. On the agenda: a ribbon-cutting with the mayor and an open bar stocked with beer, vodka and wine. There’s also a local tailor to take custom suit measurements. They promise to match the suit to your new ’do.
It’s been a while (okay, a week) since your last luau. This Polynesian-style pig roast in Sunny Isles Beach ought to rectify the situation. There’s a chance the hula girls, fire dancers and a bikini fashion show may distract you from the porky buffet and mai tai bar. A small chance.
Saturday is also your chance to sample 20 different kinds of Caribbean rum and the same number of cigars while roaming the grounds of the Tempo Miami. Sip and puff as you make your way through, all the while wondering if this combo is the secret to Fidel’s longevity.
Or you could bask in some high culture at this after-party for the New World Symphony’s season kickoff. There’ll be an open vodka bar, of course, but also musicians (playing Latin rock) and a high quotient of the city’s comely arts patrons. Consider it your unofficial start to gala season.
More is better. Especially when taken in the context of Bavarian pork specialties. Pubbelly’s celebrating German-style this week with an Oktoberfest menu including spätzle noodles with pork belly, wiener schnitzel and Ayinger Bräu-Weisse beer on tap. Time to dust off the lederhosen.
