 WAR PAINTBikini Models... Ready for Battle
Swimwear designer Lila Nikole wants to ease you into the debauchery ahead. So in a party-prone Coral Gables
boutique, DJ Dean Michaels will spin as vodka and sushi is passed. Just keep your eyes open for the
body-painted troopers modeling Nikole’s new line: Native Warriors.
  ESCAL8Duck Fat Potatoes in Fort Laud
For your “Next Time I’m in Broward” list: a small-plates joint by the former chef at Chef Allen’s.
He’s here dishing out snacks like duck-fat-roasted marble potatoes, and on Fridays, those snacks are $3
and libations are half off. So... maybe next time will be this Friday.
 LAST CHANCEA Very Trippy Cocktail Party
Ah, the garden at Cafeina. A discreet, must-hit patch for cocktail gallivanting. Tomorrow, your beloved
orchard will be transformed by local vixen Brinson Renda and partner Rocky Grimes’s video installation of
all things mind-bending. The live music will help you bid adieu to the current exhibit, Into the
Void.
  GO TO ’TOWNMotown. Brunch. Lester’s. Do It...
Nothing wrong with a little house music and brunch, but we found a Wynwood alternative. Once a month,
Lester’s spins Motown albums while your crew refuels on omelets and Bloodys. Diana Ross would want you to
have this.
  SO JUICYScary Burgers That Just Work
When a Top Chef alum unveils a new burger menu, you go to it. Especially when it includes A
Hunk of Burning Love, with bacon, caramelized bananas, spicy cheese and peanut butter. There’s also
the Luther, a cheeseburger served on a Krispy Kreme donut. So yeah: it’s health food.
