Tampa Theatre Summer Classics Series
This summer head over to the historic Tampa Theatre and watch a classic movie in probably the coolest movie theatre I have ever been to. The decedent theatre was built in 1926 and is doused in Italian design. The iconic sign is loved by those who call Tampa home but few have actually seen a movie inside the historical spot. From Casablanca and Young Frankenstein to Grease and Wizard of Oz, there is a movie for everyone. So escape the summer swelter and check out the showtimes here!
50 Cent Martini Lunches, Weekdays in Élevage from 11 am – 3 pm
Élevage is serving up 50 cent martinis for lunch! Head over to Élevage Monday through Friday between 11 am to 3 pm and enjoy 50 cent martinis when you purchase a lunch entrée. Just think, you could have seven martinis for the price of one latte. I know some of you may be thinking “I can’t drink a martini in the middle of the day.” Actually, you can and the real question is “Why shouldn’t I drink a martini at one in the afternoon?” We think Don Draper would approve. It’s the best Tampa lunch special around. Click here for more details.
Epicurean Must Do’s
Head up to EDGE Social Drinkery for rooftop cocktails and superior sunset views. Weekend goal = try all of the new cocktails being poured, shaken and stirred at EDGE. Or, grab a bite off the new food menu. Starting Monday, July 3rd, EDGE will be closed every Sunday and Monday through the month of August for seasonal summer hours. EDGE will also be closed July 4th. But don’t worry, you can sip on a slurring soccer mom as soon as we open back up on July 5th!
While you’re sipping on libations, stare in awe of the newly painted mural by artist Dalek at EDGE. The bold patterns and bright colors are the perfect backdrop for that evening cocktail or Instagram-worthy selfie. Check out this awesome video of all it took to create this work of art.
And while you’re at it, visit the current CASS Art Exhibition: Chris Valle in the library lounge of Epicurean. Just look for the skulls and Chanel C’s adorning the walls. Be sure to experience Chris Valle’s entire collection at CASS Contemporary Art Space & Studio.
