Also, after a short hiatus, Jennifer Rubell brings back her annual "breakfast" and this year's theme is "FAITH." Check it out Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon.

RUMORS: The Parisian club Silencio is back, but will only open as a one-night, pop-up in the Design District and New York's 1OAK will be open nightly as a pop-up in the basement of the Delano Hotel (1685 Collins Avenue, South Beach). Chez Andre (Saravia and Balazs) is open late in the Gale Hotel's Rec Room on December 4th to the 6th. Also, there are lots of rumors floating around about the old ballroom/theater at 5445 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. The spot was last seen in the film version of Rock of Ages, and we have heard rumors for weeks that Suzanne Bartsch, Lenny Kravitz and Lady Gaga are all doing different nights up there during AB/MB.
