| Head south this week as ART BASEL stages its annual takeover of Miami Beach. Through Dec. 10., over 200 of the world's top galleries will showcase work across all media from artists like Bruce Nauman and Matthew Barney. Go to www.artbaselmiamibeach.com • Across the city, DESIGN MIAMI returns for a second year. Make yourself at home around fine design from Paris, Milan, New York, and Copenhagen, and see Marc Newson (above, right) honored as its prestigious Designer of the Year. Go to www.designmiami.com • If that gets your pocketbook sweating, VITRA opens a new space at Miami design mecca Mobitare+ Dec. 9, showcasing a reinvention of the Panton chair—now covered in velvet (above, left). Just arrive early: they're only making 20 of them. Go to www.mobitareusa.com • If all these unusual sights drive you to drink, throw one back at the BELOW ZERO NITRO BAR (inside Barton G) where the mixologists are getting molecular with cocktails like Cassidy's Apple Nitro-rita (above, right). Bring a scarf to accompany your lab coat—this baby's laced with liquid nitrogen. Go to www.bartong.com |

HEATING UP |
From across the country, entries are already streaming in to our Perfect Pint contest, where CITY and PAGE ONE readers can suggest their dream flavor of gelato. Sarah in Los Angeles can practically taste her Champagne and strawberry gelato; Joel from Denver has "Earl Grey" (with bergamot and honey) on his mind; and Christie in Greenwich dreams of Nocciola gelato with chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. Got a dream flavor of your own? Simply go to www.city-magazine.com/gelato to enter. We'll post everyone's flavors, choose three finalists, and send their ideas off to Stephanie Reitano at Capogiro Gelato in Philadelphia. Stephanie helps writer Charlotte Druckman design her own flavor in CITY's new Luxury Issue, on newsstands and available as an e-zine now. She'll test each flavor and pick the most delicious new gelato creation. The winner will receive a pint of their very own gelato and their recipe will appear in the Spring Fashion issue. Sweet dreams! Go to www.city-magazine.com/gelato |
