The weekend is sending relief.
Tonight's your chance to get to know Proof, the new restaurant inhabiting the old Table 8 space on Ocean. They'll be serving Shanghai Slings (gin, crushed kumquats, lemon juice) and small plates like mussels in kaffir lime broth for $7 apiece. Bonus: complimentary shots during the last seven minutes of the hour, every hour. They had you at kumquats.
The MOCA's Dada-inspired gala isn't until next month, but you'll be able to hobnob with artists, gallerinas and collectors tonight at this kickoff to the main event. They'll have complimentary vodka cocktails and free palm readings by mystics in the hotel's bamboo pool garden. We see many martinis in your future...
Usually, panties fly from the audience to the stage, but tomorrow night the process will be reversed. The lingerie company Hanky Panky—makers of the most comfortable thong on the planet (allegedly)—will be previewing their spring 2010 collection on the runway, while models dressed as cigarette girls will be tossing panties to the crowd. Stock up...
In honor of their impending mega-spa, Exhale is giving you a taste of their fitness instruction with a complimentary class outside on the Epic Miami lawn. Expect a live DJ to help keep the beat through those leg lifts, plus gratis iced coffee and coconut water for afterward. Coconut water is the new Gatorade.
Kris Wessel's funky riverfront saloon is donating 25% of all proceeds from special menu items to Haiti relief. Which means you can feast on Caribbean-influenced fare like Fish Creole, Haitian-Style Oxtail, Scotch Bonnet Snapper and Guava-Lime Glazed Swordfish, all while doing some good for our earthquake-stricken neighbors.
