Duchess 

Monday seems like the most logical day to stay home and avoid going to work hung over the next day. But what kind of Miamian would stay home on a weeknight? Then again, if a low-key affair is something you are looking for, check out the Duchess, the Monday-night soiree at the Mondrian. Here an older and affluent crowd mixes in the hotel's Sunset Lounge to enjoy $9 caipirinhas and strawberry mojitos. And with the drop in temperature and humidity, what's not to love about the gorgeous Marcel Wanders-designed indoor/outdoor space? The sun might go down a little too early this time of year, but the glimmering lights of downtown Miami's skyline are a stunning substitute.

No list and no cover keep with the laid-back style of the party. — By Jose D. Duran
