Hosting brunch? Bagelshop’s Lox Box and Veggie Platter serve six or 12, and their 96-ounce Big Coffee is ideal for sharing—a delicious and easy option for morning get-togethers after a big night out.
Cap off summer with Canopy’s “Final Encore of Summer” room package. Guests will enjoy complimentary valet, a $100 food-and-beverage credit at all-day dining restaurant Silo, a welcome amenity, and waived destination fee.
Lemongrass + smoke = magic. Curry Boys BBQ is serving up holiday specials including a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich — pulled pork tossed in lemongrass BBQ sauce and topped with Texas-style slaw — and lemongrass-basted Smoked BBQ Ribs. It’s the Curry Boys BBQ twist on American BBQ.
If Labor Day weekend has you craving margaritas and more at a great price, Dos Santos is the place to be. Their all-day happy hour features $7 House Margs, House Lagers, and Basil Limeades, plus $7 Poke Bites and Tinga Chips.
The Emo Cowgirl Rooftop Pop-up, L27 Rooftop
Yeehaw meets emo for one last weekend. It’s your last chance to check out Megan Moroney’s Emo Cowgirl pop-up before it wraps after Labor Day. Head to the L27 Rooftop before it’s gone.
Step into this recording studio-turned-cocktail lounge and explore Golden Sound’s recently launched cocktail menu, available at 25% off during happy hour Wednesday through Sunday from 5-7 p.m. For those looking to deepen their cocktail knowledge, Golden Sound also hosts interactive classes led by Sip History from 2-4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Peachy vibes and rooftop views? Yes, please. The “Peach, Please!” pool party is happening on Aug. 31 with DJs, drinks, and luxe poolside fun from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Bring the boil home. Grab gumbo, jambalaya, and shrimp boils to spice up your Labor Day weekend and keep it simple with easy catering options.
Brunch like you mean it and soak up the long weekend with an extra day of brunching. Extended brunch will be offered from 10am-3pm on Labor Day – think wild berry French toast, lobster rolls, steak & eggs, etc.

Big boxes, zero hassle. Feed the whole gang with bundles of burgers, pulled pork, fries, and more all weekend long.
Let them handle the meat sweats—and the rest of the meal. Grab BBQ packages or à la carte favorites for pickup all weekend long, or settle in and dine at the joint. Either way, Martin’s has your long weekend feast covered.
