Last Chance
Introducing Your Anti-Resolutions
Come January 1, you'll be full of high hopes for the New Year—with promises of cutting back on red meat, practicing moderation at the bars, socking away more of your paycheck, blah, blah, blah. But until then, you might as well usher 2009 out with a bang. Here are a few ideas…
HAVE A COW
The 10-Pound Burger
Now's the perfect time to go mano a mano with Burger & Beer Joint's Mother Burger, a 10-pound slab of
Angus beef served on a 4-pound bun. You'll recall that it's served using a hacksaw and offered up with an
irresistible challenge: finish it within two hours and it's free.

START CARB LOADING
The $360 Baked Potato
You probably won't find a topping more decadent than this one: Iranian golden osetra caviar. The
amber-colored pearls crown a spud that's been hollowed out, mixed with crème fraîche and
delicately returned to its potato shell for the carb-loaded indulgence of a lifetime. Pair it with chilled
vodka and pretend you're Putin on a slow day.

GET FUEL INEFFICIENT
Gotham Dream Car's Lamborghini Joyride
Come next year, there's going to be even more pressure to carpool, get good gas mileage and bike to work. So
this might be your last chance to go 0 to 60 in under four seconds. Head to GDC and test-drive the
gas-gulping Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Roadster, which looks like a dream and tops out at over 200
miles per hour. Suddenly Key West seems a lot closer than you remember.

Hedonism at the InterContinental
On the surface, the InterContinental's Ocean Suites seem like the perfect place for a relaxing couple's
massage. But closer inspection reveals it could be so much more. With its massive windows looking out on the
bay, it's the ideal spot to cross a couple of exhibitionism fantasies off your list with your spa partner,
post-massage.

GO OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
A Few Final Puffs at Bardot
2010 is going to be all about quitting your vices, which includes the occasional cigarette. But until then,
head to this Wynwood bar, where smoking indoors is allowed, and consistently good live music creates the
perfect hazy backdrop for burning your way through a nicotine stick…or 12.
