EDITOR’ S FIND“ I recently spiced up my Monday night by attending Nuits de Velour, a burlesque night at Mémère’ s in Providence, and it reminded me why I shouldn’ t underestimate the need for a weeknight out. The monthly event happens the last Monday of each month and features two performances headlined by Lopez La Lopez, who performs tasteful burlesque to live piano and singing. Each attendee receives a cheese plate and a carafe with a choice of red, rose or white wine. Sitting in the warm lighting of Mémères, chit-chatting with my gal pals, helped me remember the weekend mindset doesn’ t have to end just because Sunday’ s over.”— Tess Lyons, editorial assistant
