NO WAY OUT

A Fashion’s Night Out Block Party

Tonight, Fashion’s Night Out takes over the city. Your move: the Design District. They’re going big with a block party headlined by Afrobeta and a mega pop-up market housing 30 designers. The Scotch & Soda guys will also be there debuting their new line and pouring cocktails. You’ll take two of everything.

Sep 6, 6-10pm, no cost, Fashion’s Night Out at the Collins Building, 139 NE 39th St and surrounding stores

Celebrating Bourbon Month with Bourbon
SPIRIT GUIDE

Celebrating Bourbon Month with Bourbon

In honor of National Bourbon Heritage Month (jeez, it seems to come earlier and earlier every year), Bourbon Steak wants to do something special. So they’re putting together a three-tumbler tasting flight, pairing it with butter truffle popcorn and conducting history lessons on the dearly beloved brown liquor. Yes, there’ll be a pop quiz.

Daily through Sep 30, 6pm, $20, Bourbon Steak, 19999 W Country Club Dr, 786-279-6600

Friday
Downtown Gets a New Art Lounge
PARTY ARTY

Downtown Gets a New Art Lounge

There’s a new art lounge/gallery space opening in a historic Downtown building. And they’re throwing a housewarming (we mean, historic-Downtown-building-warming) party tomorrow. It’ll be one of those DJ-spinning, exotic-car-ogling, burlesque-dancing, gratis-rum-cocktailing affairs. Go. Support the pasties movement.

Sep 7, 8pm-midnight, no cost, McCormick Place, 111 SW 3rd St, 305-206-4734

Sunday
Tailgating Poolside at the Clevelander
WELL RECEIVED

Tailgating Poolside at the Clevelander

The Dolphins this year should be... something. On the bright side, your tailgating situation suddenly got markedly better. Starting Sunday, the Cleve’s broadcasting the game and offering a $20 Bloody bar, bacon-wrapped hot dogs and naked poolside body painting.

NEW CHAPTER

Dwyane Wade Has Some Fatherly Advice

Dwyane Wade. Maybe you’ve heard of the guy. Anyway, he’s written a book, A Father First: How My Life Became Bigger Than Basketball (yup, it’s a nail-biting psychological thriller). On Sunday, he’s going to be at Books & Books to sign a bunch of copies. And take a bunch of pictures. And... no, he’s not bringing the trophy.
