There goes another jam-packed weekend. Whether you eat at the Las Olas Wine and Food Festival, improved your practice at Yoga Fest, got drunk on the beach for the Air and Sea Show, or just sat around on your ass, the fun of the weekend has unfortunately passed.
Don't fret fine friends, you may have to work, but there's still plenty of options for dining and drinking this week. From Shake Shake to beer dinners, and more.
