Too Hip to Be Square

Since we find it impossible to wait until the weekend for a grand night on the town, the Biltmore Hotel is here to satisfy our Hump Day hankering for an alcohol fueled social gathering. At the What’s Hip Wednesday happy hour at the Biltmore Bar, you can sip half price cocktails (we love a bargain!) and nibble complimentary hors d’oeuvres in an ultrachic lounge without the parking hassles of South Beach. “We’re trying to freshen up the stuffy image of the Biltmore,” says party hostess Tara Gilani, the Trend Tracker. “Gorgeous girls will be strolling around in fabulous clothes from Neiman Marcus.” You can also enter a raffle to win dinner for four at Palme D’Or, including tax, gratuity, and even wine pairings. How cool is that? Be fashion-forward tonight from 6:00 till closing. Admission and parking are free. Call 305-445-1926, or visit www.biltmorehotel.com.
