"Taste" kicks off Coral Gables' Resto Week with free grub like blue crab-crusted mahi from Tarpon Bend, sliders and wings from The Sports Exchange, and smoked bratwurst from Fritz & Franz Bierhaus, as well as live Latin jazz from the Negroni's Trio. The Week then continues with prix fixe menus cutting at least 20% off spots like Caffe Abbracci, Da Vittorio, Fleming's Prime, Ortanique On The Mile, Por Fin, Red Koi, Les Halles, and Bangkok Bangkok II, which probably stars Chris Tucker.

From a surf-obsessed industrial designer who's worked for Apple, Porsche, and Nike, this new hourglass longboard design (which comes in models 7'6" to 9'6") allows shortboard maneuverability while riding the middle, and grips the wave with an extra-long tail, once again turning the tide on the mullet.

Go to SurfIndustries.com for clips of the board in action and to watch the designer talk shop.

News Lounge keeps its shadowy, palm-laden vibe but jacks up the menu with apps like Parma prosciutto w/ fresh mozz and basil, duck liver pate w/ Brie, and tuna tartare w/ Dijon lemon dressing, plus sandwiches like Angus sliders w/ smoked cheddar, bacon and chipotle mayo, and the "Victoria Station" w/ carpaccio, arugula, shaved Parm, and pesto sauce served on beer bread, a gateway bread that'll soon have you downing scotch loaves.

Blow off work to watch Manchester United v. Barcelona live from Rome with 2-for-1 domestic beer, wine, and well drinks, discounted import suds, a free halftime buffet of finger food apps, and 50% off other select apps like Rasher's Potato Skins, Black & Tan-battered onion rings, fried mozz, and "cranky" fried calamari -- hey, you'd be cranky too if you were boiled in oil, then sold for half price.
