Exhale Spa at Epic, all for 65% off. Also: half off your next pair of cult selvage denim jeans, fresh from
the Denim Design Lab. It’s modern-day jean science, with a dash of old-timey alchemy. A little jean
alchemy goes a long way.

DEBUT
Il Mercato Café and Wine Shop Opens
Yes, this is in a strip mall in Hallandale. But there’s good news: the chef has clocked time at NYC’s
Eleven Madison Park and Miami’s Table 8. And she’ll be serving you Scandinavian delicacies like
Knödel (potato dumplings), Confit Chicken Wings and Artichoke Ravioli. No one is
above the strip mall.
