| Gamblin’ Man Bougainvillea's Old Florida Tavern | Every week Monday | South Miami/Kendall/South Dade | |
| Frankly we don’t mind so much the state’s recent clampdown on poker tournaments that press the boundaries of the gambling statutes with heavy buy-ins, large pots, and major pay-outs to winners. We don’t have money to burn, but we enjoy shuffling up and dealing with a gang of like-minded... More >> | |||
| Swimming Under the Stars Flamingo Park | Daily | South Beach | |
 The boy playfully dunks the girl’s head under the water, holding her there until she grabs his thigh in mock distress. With her mop of curly hair drenched straight, she emerges like a mermaid.

| Filth and Wisdom Miami Beach Cinematheque | Sat., November 22 | South Beach | |

| Turkey Trot Tropical Park Equestrian Center | Thu., November 27 | West Dade/Hialeah | |
 Hallmark would have you believe Thanksgiving is about sitting around a table with the ones you love and showing how much you appreciate them, but our tummies tell us that it is the day to unabashedly throw down on a few plates stacked high with food. We love you, Uncle Pete, but yams, stuffing,... More >> |

 In our schlubby American jeans-and-T-shirt society, ornately dressed and made-up Japanese Harajuku girls look like beautiful aliens.

| Da Show Flavour | First Tuesday of every month | Coconut Grove/Key Biscayne | |

| Drink of the Week: Asian Margarita Vix | Daily | South Beach | |

| Drink of the Week: Chili Passion Setai Hotel | Daily | South Beach | |
 Is there enough room in this town for two spicy passion fruit cocktails?

| Drink of the Week: Mandarin Martini M-Bar | Daily | Miami/Central Dade | |
 My mother is concerned I am taking this drink-of-the-week gig too seriously. “Do you have to go out drinking every week?” she asked. “Isn’t that too much?” It’s a tough job, Mom. Maybe I shouldn’t tell you that this week I went to M-Bar at the Mandarin Oriental (500 Brickell Key Dr., Miami), a... More >> |

| Drink of the Week: Raspberry Litchi Martini Town Kitchen and Bar | Daily | South Miami/Kendall/South Dade | |
 Mondays are not usually a walk in the park, but a recent one was a doozy. An accident on the Dolphin Expressway created traffic of historic proportions.
