Miami Beach: Make Thanksgiving Plans Now: With Ricky Martin at the Fontainebleau

MsRebecca — 2011-09-23T09:25:02-05:00

The joint was Pitbull's on Labor Day weekend, but Thanksgiving calls for an entirely different mood. That's why it will be Ricky Martin lighting up the Fontainebleau on November 26.

Just as it was with Pitbull, the Vegas-style mega-hotel has put together a slick menu of fan packages, tailored to your level of love for Ricky. The cheapest option is $329 a night, based on a three-night stay in a standard room, and including two general admission tickets to the concert, access to an open-bar hour, and a 'Bleau Live Fan amenity'.

But we'd be more interested if the rockers took over the theatrical greenhouse of Imperial No. 9, the seafood spot from quasi-celeb chef Sam Talbot that New York magazine <a href="http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2011/03/imperial_no_9.html">calls</a> "probably the most out-there design weve seen since another movie-inspired eatery, FoodParc," at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Eventi+Hotel/local/1647">Eventi</a> hotel.

New York : Free Music At The Ace Every Sunday This February

ASchechter — 2011-01-26T15:01:14-05:00

Next month, violin-hip-hop queen Emily Wells makes her debut at the Ace Hotel—over and over again! Every Sunday next month at 9pm, the always-packed hipster hangout will host the violinist-singer (made famous for her version of "Juicy," by rap legend Notorious BIG) in the lobby for a February residency. The performances will be free, so save your dollars for those overpriced cocktails—and expect a crowd.

Over the past few years, Wells has attracted tens of thousands of followers with her trademark looped violin trip-hop blues, and sees the performances as a "way to introduce myself to the city." (Wells recently moved from LA to NYC's East Village).

But she didn't really look like her normal Gaga self with a blonde wig in a normal hairstyle, overdone white face powder and bombshell eye make-up. However, that bondage, Frank N. Furter-inspired dress is definitely all Gaga. And anyone who may has been skeptical that it was really her, had their minds changed when she started singing. <a
