Some days are better than others.
Fridays are typically pretty good, and Saturdays generally rock. But it's Sundays of which we're most fond.
Sure it's the last day of the weekend, and it's only 24 hours removed from the reality of work, traffic, parking tickets, all that shit. But the calm before the weekday storm can be so damn relaxing.
Few things in life are better than day drinking. And Sundays were totally meant for inflatable pools and mid-afternoon keggers.
Or, you can check out Wood Tavern's Sunday BBQ, equally cool to getting piss drunk in your front yard, and one of this week's ten best music-related things to do in Miami under $10.
