<em>Batman v Weekend</em>
Your Perks: 1) America’s finest foods, delivered to your door. Bless the US Postal Service. 2) A handsome leather case to keep your iPhone safe from scuffs, drops and... ugly cases. 3) Custom tailored suits and shirts that make you wonder why you considered anything else.
Then: street art in Wynwood. Now: street art at the Ritz-Carlton. Turns out, there’s an auction there tomorrow night with an open bar, live art and no reserve. So, technically, you can throw out a $1 bid for a piece from Kazilla or Kenny Scharf. Technically.
Someone finally put happy hour where it belongs—from 8pm to midnight. That someone is Café des Arts, and it’s got $4 beer and wine, $10 charcuterie plates and $50 bottles of champagne. Plus a gratis shot if you can prove that you’re an artist. Bar napkin origami totally counts.
Let’s just get right to your questions about Saturday night’s ’80s rock festival:
Q: Who’s playing?
A: Bret Michaels, Night Ranger... Nelson.
Q: Oh man, Nelson. What’ve they been up to?
A: ...
Q: Okay, so what else?
A: There’s an ’80s arcade. And a salon for on-the-spot ’80s hair.
Q: Help?
Before Monday happens, maybe partake in something that’s not... that. Like a five-hour brunch where pitchers of mimosas will accompany live music, pork belly pancake sliders and lemon-ricotta beignets from the likes of Fooq’s, Finka and Bachour Bakery. Maybe Monday won’t happen after all.
Seems like you should be getting some barbecue this weekend. Maybe because it feels like summer outside. Or maybe because you already smell the harmonious convergence of Kansas City–, Texas-, Argentine- and Brazilian-style grilling that’ll be coming from Wynwood’s BBQ fest on Sunday. Probably a little of both.
