Happy Friday! Lots to celebrate this weekend, including the news that Miami will likely not get slammed by a tropical storm.
Today is also National Dog Day, so give your pooch a smooch. Better yet, take Bowser out for a nosh or happy hour.
If you're looking to get out of town, Naples Grande Beach Resort is hosting its Grill & Chill Weekend. Naples is so close that you can take a quick day trip to participate in any of the activities and make it back home. Or better yet, stay the night.
Weekend starts now!
Naples Grande Beach Resort's Grill & Chill Weekend
Naples Grande Beach Resort (475 Seagate Dr.) will host its inaugural Grill & Chill Weekend. This culinary celebration kicks off today, Friday, August 26, featuring events such as a cocktail match, a pampering beauty brunch, beer- and wine-pairing dinners, and the Grande Grill Off. Nearly 20 of Naples' favorite restaurants will converge on the resort to celebrate the city's food-and-drink scene. Tickets start at $20 for tonight's Blender Bender cocktail event and go up to $63 for the Riptide beer-pairing dinner. A weekend pass costs $100.
Net proceeds of the weekend will benefit Florida Gulf Coast University’s Resort & Hospitality Management program. Tickets are available at naplesgrande.com/chill.
National Dog Day at Glass & Vine
Sure, today is National Dog Day, but you don't need a fancy-schmancy holiday to treat your dog to a fine meal. Glass & Vine is the perfect setting to munch out with your furry friend. Set in Coconut Grove's Peacock Park, the restaurant boasts shade trees and cool breezes (and even a squirrel or two for excitement). Glass & Vine recently launched a special doggy menu in collaboration with Dishes for Dogs — which means your pooch can have her own delicious meal. Choose from chicken and rice, basil beef, or roast turkey and sweet potato ($8 each). Each meal is made with USDA-grade ingredients in Dishes for Dogs' Wynwood kitchen and served fresh at Glass & Vine. If Bowser is looking for a light snack, there are treats made in-house from meat trimmings for $1.
W Miami's Doggy Happy Hour
Take your pup to happy hour tonight at W Miami's celebration of National Dog Day. From 5 to 8 p.m., you and Fido can hang together on the 15th & Vine terrace. You'll enjoy happy-hour cocktails, and your pampered pet will chow down on complimentary treats, all hosted by @ThisDogOrbits.
