Meet Your 2014 Anti-Resolutions

So you’ve made some resolutions for 2014. Maybe you decided to eat more greens. Stick to a budget. Or just step in and do Joe Philbin’s job for him. And that’s fine. Real noble stuff. It’s just that the following five items are... the opposite of that. And a hell of a good time.

Anti-Resolution: This Humongous Burger
RESOLUTION: EAT HEALTHIER

Anti-Resolution: This Humongous Burger

This year, you’ve resolved to eat better. And you will. Sort of. With the help of this burger. Just look at it. That’s a Kobe beef patty in there. Some seared foie gras. A couple of quail eggs thrown in for good measure. Oh, and some shaved black truffles. For even better measure.

$65, available at Bâoli Miami, 1906 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, 305-674-8822

Anti-Resolution: Driving a Fleet of Cars
RESOLUTION: TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Anti-Resolution: Driving a Fleet of Cars

If you’ve got $50K burning a hole in your pocket, here’s a responsible way to spend it: cars. Specifically, a membership at Lou La Vie that gets you 24/7 access to their entire fleet—that’s $3 million worth of wheels like the 459 Spyder. So, it’s totally a bargain.

$25,000-$50,000, available at Lou La Vie, 1444 Biscayne Blvd, Ste 113, 877-595-4329

Anti-Resolution: Lenny Kravitz’s Suite
RESOLUTION: SPEND MORE TIME AT HOME

Anti-Resolution: Lenny Kravitz’s Suite

Sure, you can be fiscally conservative and opt to stay home versus taking a vacation. But... nah. This suite at the SLS was designed by Lenny Kravitz. Apparently, he likes wet bars. And soaking tubs. And wraparound balconies overlooking the ocean. Yup, looks like you’re going to go his way.

$4,000 and up, available at SLS Hotel, 1701 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, 305-674-1701

Anti-Resolution: Eating All the Caviar
RESOLUTION: INDULGE LESS

Anti-Resolution: Eating All the Caviar

Eggs. Turns out, they’re pretty good for you. Maybe start incorporating more of them into your diet. Starting with... caviar. And Makoto gets it. So they’re helping you out with a tasting course of white, black and gold osetra served on rice cakes with toro tartare. Toro’s the new bacon.

$225, available at Makoto, 9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, 305-864-8600

Anti-Resolution: Watching the Heat Here
RESOLUTION: WATCH LESS SPORTS

Anti-Resolution: Watching the Heat Here

Replacing your mid-level seats at the Heat game: a season ticket to the Flagship Lounge. That gets you underground parking, a view from the first 10 rows and dishes prepared by chefs from Zuma and MC Kitchen. But... there’s a waiting list. Might want to get on Arison’s good side.
