Super Fridays presents GTA at Mansion - November 29, 2013

There’s a big sound coming out of Miami. It’s a loud, in your face sound with a hip-hop lean and sometimes a tropical vibe. It’s dirty, sexy and full of hype, and it’s called GTA. Matt Toth and Julio Mejia make up the dynamic duo. Dedicated to their music, they stay holed up in their bedroom studio building beats that can set off any kind of dance floor. They’re stealing the stage from their hood to New York, LA and everything in between, and it just comes down to how they play their game. Catch them as they return to their home town and take over Super Fridays at Mansion Nightclub in Miami Beach.

Support your local economy and find everything you need in one place at the Botanical Bazaar, Sunday November 24 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This annual fair held in the Garden features 30 local artisans selling botanically themed and plant-derived wares such as body scrubs, candles, handmade paper, flowers and more. This year also features a local band playing live music and a farmer's market.

 

The farmer's market features fresh breads, jams, honey, granola, herbs, and salad greens from SoFla foodie favorites such as Zak the Baker and Laurie's Pantry.
