PERK ALERT
Your Super Bowl Essentials: Right Here
Our eyes are set on one thing: the Super Bowl. For your snacking pleasure, Perks is hooking you up with
bacon bourbon caramel
corn (yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds) and your choice of three moonshine-infused salsas or barbecue
sauces. And to complete your experience: surround sound speakers.
PERFECT TIMING
Something Swiss for Your Wrist
So, Valentine’s Day. You need gift ideas. A thought: stopping by Breguet’s new Bal Harbour digs to pick
up the kind of handsome timepiece that’s been spotted on the wrist of Robert De Niro. We suppose you could
get something for your date, too.
- 411:
- Now open, Breguet, 9700 Collins Ave, Bal Harbour, 305-866-1061
SWITCHING GEARS
Biking for Beer
Riding bikes. Good for the environment, trimming the waistline and now, getting in on some Holy Mackerel
action. Wood Tavern is doling out the positive reinforcement with half off all drinks when you pull up on
your two-wheeler. Great excuse to break out the spandex.

- Jan 26, 5-8pm, Wood Tavern, 2531 NW 2nd Ave, 305-748-2828
LUSH
A Garden Party on the Beach
The coming cold snap (i.e., 75 degrees) may find you in the mood for cocktails, barbecue and basking in a
botanical garden. In which case, head here for vodka concoctions paired with exotic meats from your friends
at Hogzilla’s. Careful not to get fried gator on your shirt.
- 411:
- Jan 26, 6:30-9pm, $90 (door only), Miami Beach Botanical Garden, 2000 Convention Center Dr, 305-673-7256

Dancing with Dragons on Brickell
It’s time to celebrate New Year’s... again. The Mandarin Oriental’s throwing a Year of the Dragon
party on their private beach in honor of the changing of the Chinese calendar. There’ll be an open bar, mu
shu shrimp and the traditional dragon dance. Make sure your pocket square is flame-retardant.

PARTY BLOCKIN’
A Huge Irish Block Party
You love a good Irish block party. The people. The jigging. Good lord, the jigging. Anyway, this Saturday
you’ll want to hit up the Lucky Clover’s Grand Opening Block Party. Free cocktails will flow as Spam
Allstars play their Latin fusion funk. Perfect material for a proper running man.
- 411:
