Renegades Ball At Beauty Bar
We love this place because we know we can always get that mani ($10, tasty martini included) we never have time for on our lunch break.

Just don't ruin that manicure digging for your credit card.

Dim Sum In The Dark Dinner At Sunda
If you're not up for the club scene, but a night at home isn't doing the trick, treat yourself to some of Sunda's amazing dim sum — in the dark. It's lights out and candles lit while you dive into signature favorites like steamed shrimp dumplings, crispy daikon cakes, and pumpkin maki. You just might want to avoid wearing white. We've heard soy sauce is a nightmare to remove.
