Things to do for October 20, 2011
The Weekender
This Weekend: Bikinis, Champagne and Brunch
The weekend is puddleproof.
Thursday
Gratis Champagne at Wine Depot
There’s nothing better than sharing a bottle of champagne with a few friends. Except maybe knowing you won’t have to pay for that champagne. In honor of their one-year anniversary, Wine Depot is gifting you and three tablemates with a bottle of bubbly whenever you have lunch or dinner. Say happy birthday.
80% Off Swimsuits. Hey, Why Not...
Despite this week’s monsoons, it’s still swimsuit weather. Therefore, you’ll want to take advantage of Tomas Maier’s markdowns on summer gear. Swim trunks are down to $45 (from $225) and palm-tree-emblazoned polos are $38 (down from $190). Spend the savings on a good raincoat.
Friday
An Art Basel Warm-Up in Wynwood
Consider this street fair a primer for that upcoming little art-apalooza. You’ll find gallery shows, performance art, food trucks and what organizers hope will be the world’s largest sidewalk chalk drawing. You know what to do...
Saturday
Saving the World, One Bikini at a Time
You’ve always felt the bikini was the key to solving the world’s problems. So you’ll be pleased to see a line of eco-friendly swimsuits parading down the catwalk at the Setai this Saturday night as part of Funkshion fashion week. Al Gore would approve.
Sunday
A New Brunch in South Beach
Symcha’s has added brunch to its arsenal, giving you a new option in the Sunday-hangover-remedies department (not that you would ever need such a thing). Going forward, you can console yourself with Kurobuta Pork Hash, shrimp frittata or Belgian waffles. No one cures hangovers like the Belgians.
