Champagne Fridays cure work-week blues
The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel treats ladies to a fun start on their Friday evenings. Free champagne from 5–7 p.m., live music and the occasional trunk shows will put you in the mood for a fabulous weekend. The Lobby Lounge is a lovely place to kickstart your weekend.
Designers Lynda Martin and Emmanuelle Cagol-Landrieu's collection Nibbatti were feeatured June 19. Their trunk show consisted of three colorful racks of dresses with a wide range of styles. The designers were there to help customers with styles, fits and any other shopping needs.
Martin and Cagol-Landrieu are New Orleans natives, and they donate a portion of each dress sold to Katrina rebuilding efforts.
Tell the valet attendants you're there for Champagne Friday and receive complimentary valet parking.

If you want to relax and enjoy a bite in the Lobby Lounge, the menu includes bruschetta, mini crab cakes, salads, artichoke spinach dip, spicy chicken wings and more.
