It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means that UMLAUF after Dark is in full swing. Grab a couple friends and head to the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden starting at 6pm, where you'll find Luis Purón, executive director of the Rockport Center for the Arts, sharing the story of the garden's new work: "Uccelli" (Birds of St. Francis).
Now that the weather is nice again, it's time to thoroughly embrace our love of tiki. Start at Ah Sing Den, where The Wise Monkey—a vanila bean-infused rum cocktail with pistachio orgeat, Falernum, orange and lime—is among the $6 drinks on offer during their Tiki Tuesdays. You'd be wise to indulge.
Need to get gussied up before SXSW starts? Check out Cute Nail Studio, which just opened on East Seventh Street. The rainbow-fueled salon offers nail and waxing services, but you should really go for the disco ball in the bathroom, the manga available for reading, and the glitter-bombed ceilings.
