The weekend is starred and striped.
Rubdown
Cocktails and Massages at Acqualina
In light of the skimpy holiday weekend (WTF, July 4th?), a party at the Acqualina's ESPA spa ought to set
the scales right. There'll be complimentary cocktails and canapés to keep you fueled as you explore
ESPA's stress-kicking repertoire of neck and shoulder rubs, foot scrubs and mini-facials.
- 411:
- $65, 6:30-9pm, Acqualina Resort and Spa, 17875 Collins Ave, 305-918-8000
Theater
$10 Off at Fuerza Bruta
The South American sensory-overload show that has been rocking the Arsht Center has decided to extend its
run to August 2 (must be those dancing nymphs in the suspended pool). In honor of the new dates, they're
offering $10-off tickets this weekend (use promo code FREEDOM), plus a prolonged meet-and-greet with said
nymphs in the
G Lounge.
- 411:
- $63.75, 7:30pm and 10pm, Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Blvd, 305-949-6722
Grilling
Backyard BBQ at Red the Steakhouse
Birthdays are about doing something nice for yourself, like feasting on killer barbecue fare like grilled
baby back ribs, filet mignon and scallop skewers, washed down with $5 sangrias and beers in Red's
backyard-hoedown scene. And when it's fireworks time, head up to the rooftop terrace for some of the best
views in Miami.

- 6pm, July 4, Red the Steakhouse, 119 Washington Ave, 305-534-3688
Quaffing
Half Off Bottles Over $50 at Alta Mar
The folks at seafood trattoria Alta Mar want to ease you into the workweek with half off their best bottles
of wine. And unlike most deals like this, the whole list is fair game, even that $750 bottle of '75 Chateau
Lafite Bordeaux—in case you're in the mood to dine like it's 2006.
- 411:
- Mon-Thurs, through Sept 30, Alta Mar, 1223 Lincoln Rd, 305-532-3061
Moves
Flamenco Night at Mamajuana Cafe
There's no way you won't be tempted to get up and shake your ass at this raucous, sexy, boozy party where
stellar guitarists hold court in a cavernous Latin brasserie. It should help that pitchers of red and white
sangria are half off, as are mouthwatering tapas like grilled octopus, seafood ceviche and pork spring
rolls.
- 411:
- 5:30-10:30pm, Tuesdays, Mamajuana Cafe, 225 Altara Ave, 305-443-0505
