A few weeks ago I read a blog post about this new website featuring happy hours in the miami area and I’ve been watching it, and its definitely worth a post. For a time when everyone is trying to pinch their pennies, this site reminds you that you don’t need to just stay inside, but rather just be in tune with what’s going on around the area. The site called My Open Bar has versions in New York City, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu. You can search by specials according to the day or deals that are going on everyday. Here’s a round up of some to check out:

  •  Wine Down Wednesdays, Level 25 at Conrad Miami - complimentary glass of wine if you roll a 2 or a 5. If you don’t get a 2 or a 5, you still get a glass of wine for just $5.
  • Complimentary well drinks on Thursdays between 11:00 pm – midnight (and no cover) at B.E.D.
  • Soca Sunday at The Biltmore - 1/2 off Ten Cane Rum Mojitos, Flamenco music, no cover
  • 1/2 price wine night at Novecento 6:00 pm til close

For more deals, visit miami.myopenbar.com or sign up for their email list to receive weekly updates.

A Look at Miami Spa Month http://www.thesouthfloridatraveler.com/2008/07/spaaaalicious/ http://www.thesouthfloridatraveler.com/2008/07/spaaaalicious/#comments Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:45:09 +0000 http://www.thesouthfloridatraveler.com/spaaaalicious-a-look-at-miami-spa-month/ Post from: The South Florida Traveler

]]>  July – as we are in the midst of summer, we are blessed with lots of humidity, rainy days and spending many hours in the AC – at least when you live in Southern Florida. For those of us who can go beyond those circumstances, there really is a lot to look forward to. The 4th of July, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and now, Miami’s very first Miami Spa Month. Now who can’t use a day at the spa? Organized by The Greater Miami Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Miami Spa Month will give you a chance to pamper yourself for pennies. (Well, $99 – that’s close enough, right?) Participating spas will be offering a special treatment to guests for the entire month. Here are some that I would recommend:
  •  Jurlique Spa at Mayfair Hotel and Spa, 3000 Florida Avenue in Coconut Grove. They will be offering a journey to Havana which is a mojito inspired treatment. This will include a food bath, an aromatherapy massage and a Mojito sugar scrub followed by the Vichy shower water massage.
  • Aquanox at Trump International Beach Resort offers a 2 in one deal. The first is a Global Aromatherapy Massage using essential oils from around the world. You will then be treated to an Aquanox International Express Facial leaving your skin clean, polished and refreshed.
  • The Uhma Spa is offering a South Pacific Shell Massage with Aromatherapy.  This massage uses hot, polished Tiger Clam shells combined with nourishing massage oils to balance your body and senses. The Uhma Spa is known for bringing people and nature together and was built under eco-responsible guidelines. 

Added bonus, use your American Express and receive and additional 10% off your treatment. Photo Credit [flickr BadrNaseem]
