You’ll Hope This Place Won’t Last Long

Tonight, Vertigo launches its seasonal ice bar on its 26th-floor terrace. You’ll find a 14-foot bar carved from ice, thermoses of spiked hot chocolate, s’mores stations and blankets if you get chilly. This year’s theme is après-ski. So wear your sexiest ski goggles.

Of Course You Should Buy a Boat

The big boat show is in town. It’s a great opportunity for you to do things like dive in a scuba pool, try stand-up paddleboarding indoors, test-drive a boat simulator and try on pirate clothes while on a faux galleon. If you have time left, maybe buy a yacht or two.

This Will Be More Fun Than Sochi

The Winter Olympics are almost here. You need to get excited. You need to get pumped. You need to... get on a bus loaded with hot chocolate and head to Villa Olivia for a little downhill snow-tubing action. That’s soon to be an Olympic event.
