The weekend is working it off.
As you read this, you may be battling the crowds at the Aventura Mall, trying mightily to retain your sanity. We suggest taking a break (possibly from purse-holding duty) at the Grill on the Alley, where Black & Blue Mojitos—whipped up with muddled blackberries and blueberries—are $6 all day. You're welcome.
Just in time to satisfy your Art Basel people-watching fix, the Design District's new alfresco pizza joint launches weekend brunch with hangover-curing items like pizza quiche, wood-oven baked eggs and Nutella crepes. Bonus: your first mimosa is on the house.
Show up at this indie fest looking for the next Steve Spielberg (or at least the next Steve Holland), and you'll be treated to short films from each of the major Miami neighborhoods, including Downtown, Key Biscayne, Surfside and of course Liberty City. Admission is pay what you wish, and there'll be gratis cocktails made with rum and a pineapple soda called Jupiña…
You're already familiar with the Mondrian's futuristic vending machine…it's where you get all your designer toothbrushes. In honor of Art Basel, Interview magazine is stuffing it with collectibles like Dolce & Gabbana's Madonna tank top, canvas kicks from Vena Cava and a year's supply of Ben & Jerry's. You go, chunky monkey.
In one of the more intriguing art-world collaborations of the year (make that any year), musical wizard Danger Mouse and cult filmmaker David Lynch are teaming up for a mixed-media exhibit. Expect photographs by Lynch and a soundtrack from Mr. Mouse featuring the Flaming Lips, Julian Casablancas and Iggy Pop—whom you'll probably bump into at the opening.
