The weekend is your holiday bonus.
PERK ALERT
Perking on Ferraris and Steaks
This week, we’re handing you the keys to a Ferrari—and four other
supercars—for a glorious day of racing. Plus, we’re airmailing you a bevy of holiday-appropriate meats from
Robinson’s Prime Reserve for 25% off. And then helping you cook those meats to perfection with the
ingenious iGrill. (We’ll
explain.)
GROUND HOG
Hogzilla’s Grand-Opening Party
If you have yet to partake of the BBQ bounty at

and a rotating supply of Redneck Tacos and Gator Sausage Bites. You can thank the
Everglades later.

THE MAKEOVER
The Rusty Pelican: No Longer Rusty
The Pelican was always your go-to for Bloody Mary–drenched brunches on the open bay. And now, after a
five-month renovation, the iconic spot is back, complete with a mod ’60s-style dining room and dishes like
lobster crudo and Duck-Fat-Fried Australian Lamb Loin. It’s the turducken of lamb.

- Now open, The Rusty Pelican, 3201 Rickenbacker Cswy, 305-361-3818
POWER HOUR
An Eight-Hour Happy Hour
Happy hour—by definition, a short-lived occasion. Except when it’s extended to a leisurely eight hours.
Every day of the week. It’s happening at China Grill’s bar, where cocktails are two-for-one and apps
like lobster pancakes and curried chicken satay go for less than $10.
- 411:
- Daily starting Dec 16, noon-8pm, China Grill, 404 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 305-534-2211
CUTTING EDGE
$1 Oysters and Craft Beers Downtown
And if Brickell is more in your happy hour orbit, you’ll be pleased to hear that the new steakhouse at the
Four Seasons is lavishing you with dollar oysters and steak skewers. Also: beers like Harpoon’s UFO White
and Inlet’s Monk in the Trunk are half off. Enjoy responsibly.

- Daily, 3-7pm, Edge, Steak & Bar at Four Seasons Hotel, 1435 Brickell Ave, 305-381-3015
EGG ON
A Seriously Porky New Brunch
Cap off the weekend by delving into a new culture. One where you get to drink sangria with breakfast. The
gang at Pubbelly’s Spanish sibling, Barceloneta, is serving up eggs Benedict with pork belly and serrano
ham with some seriously rich churros with chocolate. Wear your best matador pants.

- Sundays, noon-3:30pm, Barceloneta, 1400 20th St, Miami Beach, 305-538-9299, see the menu
