Before Midnight
Introducing Your Anti-Resolutions
This weekend brings a new year with promises of restraint, moderation and healthy decisions. But until then, you’ve got a week to wallow in the exact opposite of all that. Here’s your map to excess.
WORK OUT OVER LUNCH
Massages at Studio-D
Sure. In the coming year you’ll totally hit the gym during your lunch break. Uh-huh. But before that,
you’ll want to hit this day spa in Downtown for a midday rubdown. A $700 10-session package is good for
60- or 90-minute massages. Think of it as a punch card for all those kinks in your back.

- Available at Studio-D, 117 NE 2nd Ave, 305-372-1449
EXERCISE DIETARY RESTRAINT
An Entire Roasted Pig for You
For your last gut-busting hurrah, you’ll want to go big. Whole-roasted-hog big. Which is where this
crispy-skinned suckling pig comes into play. You’ll have to order it three days in advance, and it
promises to feed a table of six. Or one very gluttonous you.

- $220, available at Hogzilla's Inspired Barbeque, 1555 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 305-538-7201
SPEND RESPONSIBLY
Kiton’s Lasa Jacket
You can’t put a price on the perfect jacket. But you can put a price on one made of ultrafine cashmere by
a single Italian tailor. The process takes 40 hours, so you’ll have to wait a few weeks before you can don
this little piece of handsome. Delayed gratification never felt so reckless.

- $8,395, available by order at Kiton, 9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, 305-868-1444
REDUCE CHOLESTEROL
Introducing Foie Gras Hush Puppies
We’re happy to report that your days of eating foie-gras-free hush puppies are over. That’s because the
kitchen wizards here have figured out how to inject silky duck liver mousse into them. Smother ’em with a
side of foie-spiked lavender honey butter for extra richness. Because you can.

- Available at Bourbon Steak Miami, 19999 W Country Club Dr, 786-279-6600
GAMBLE LESS
A Casino in Your Home
So you’re going to try to cut back on the blackjack and roulette. But before that, you should probably
join in one last blowout of chips, cards and green felt tables. In your living room. Leave it to these folks
to orchestrate the whole thing. The cocktail waitresses are all you.

Only what you need to know.
