"For a themed brunch I’m planning to attend Ellington’s Wizard of Oz drag brunch at the Fairlane Hotel on Oct. 8 (noon–2 p.m.) with RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Jaidynn Diore Fierce; general admission is $59 and includes a prix fixe brunch and a welcome cocktail, while $99 VIP tickets add a pre-show meet-and-greet, valet, and an extra cocktail." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"Ellington’s Mid Way Bar & Grill offers a tasteful nod to the clearly familiar by serving nostalgic mid-20th-century staples updated with modern panache."
"This restaurant in the Fairlane Hotel is a mid-century inspired eatery on the hotel’s fourth floor, with an outdoor terrace and sweeping views of the city. During the week, diners can treat themselves to $2 East and West Coast oysters during happy hour, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday." - Alex Hendrickson
"The throwback Fairlane Hotel’s fourth-floor restaurant is surrounded by a large wraparound terrace overlooking the street below. Mid-century vibes, 180-degree views plus comfortable seating add to the overall allure. During happy hour at the bar (4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday), enjoy $5 appetizers, well drinks, and beer plus $6 wine and $7 cocktails." - Delia Jo Ramsey
