With New Times Beerfest merely days away, it’s understandable that you’d want to hunker down this week and save your energy and cash for the weekend. For those who can handle multiple days of fun in one week, there are a few options that will allow you to enjoy the…
Procrastinators take note: this marks the last weekend for Dine Out Lauderdale — it ends Thursday, Nov. 10. — and the chance to grab a three-course meal for $35 at select Fort Lauderdale restaurants. Of course, some of the eateries pull the whole “You can’t get this deal on the…

When the Lodge Beer & Grill shuttered its faux-log-cabinesque doors in August, it left something of a hole in the Boca Raton beer scene. In a town that caters to, ahem, a more mature crowd, there aren’t tons of places to get great craft beers on tap (Funky Buddha Lounge…
As you shake off your post-Halloween sugar and alcohol crash — and hang out the “sexy tax code specialist” costume to dry from the weekend’s deluge — rest assured that there are still plenty of fun food and drink events in the forecast for the week and weekend. And hell,…
This week, Clean Plate Charlie offered up a list of eight costumes inspired by Florida food and drink for all you Halloween costume procrastinators.

With Halloween just days away, most of the weekend’s food and drink related activities in Broward and Palm Beach Counties are geared to costumes, candy, and the undead (oh, and the nautical. The 52nd Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is today through Monday). But for those who are looking…
Most of us take great measure to ensure that what we put down our gullets won’t come back up to haunt us later. Stevie Starr, the Scottish performer perhaps better-known by his rather vivid stage handle, “The Regurgitator,” isn’t most of us. Starr, who’s been working the professional “regurgitation circuit”…
Halloween comes but one day a year, but that doesn’t mean the party is confined to a 24-hour-period. The Halloween 2011 festivities in South Florida have been underway for at least a week, but things will really heat up this weekend, when most of us do our costuming and cajoling…
The tango — in whatever form you choose — is undeniably hot. Pair it with a few glasses of vino and some Latin cuisine and you’ve got yourself the makings for a pretty sexy situation; provided, of course, your tango partner is someone who gets your blood pumping.The Second-Annual Latin…
Food lovers have many options for food- and drink-related Halloween costumes, from the stupid (hello, phallic mushroom) to the sublime (dressing as an undead Cookie Monster, for instance). The choices can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you’ve waited this long to figure things out. Why not narrow the focus…
Think you’ve got a sexy set? Of lips, that is – mind out of the gutter, people. While some bars pull in the crowds with hot body or wet T-shirt contests, M Bar’s take on the quintessential South Florida sexy showdown leaves a bit more to the imagination. The Fort…
The Seattle-like deluge has subsided — at least for the time being — and the weekend forecast looks pretty kick ass, all around. If the gloomy skies had you in a sour mood all week (Floridians are addicted to the sun, after all) it’s time to shake it off and…
You know the fate of Halloween procrastinators, don’t you? It looks a little something like this: bags of that terrible orange and black peanut butter wax-like taffy to hand out to the kids, nothing left to buy at Halloween City except deeply discounted Monica Lewinsky and/or “sexy maritime lawyer” costumes,…
If you live in or spend any time in Boca Raton, you know the pain in the ass, driving hell that was the Pedestrian Promenade construction project that recently wrapped up in downtown. Looks like the city plans to make up for the parking and “Bridge Closed” headaches with “Meet…
No one would accuse Anne Burrell, star of Food Network shows like Secrets of a Restaurant Chef and Worst Cooks in America, of being a shrinking violet.

While the comfortably familiar tradition of Oktoberfest rages on — how are those lederhosen holding up, by the way? — there are also a few new events to check out this weekend, including a new concert series in Delray Beach. Friday night will see the launch of “Mix of Music…
Did the hit-or-miss weather throw a wrench into your weekend plans? Truth be told, the forecast for this week isn’t looking all that stellar either, but that’s no excuse to launch into full-on hermit mode. Lots of fun things are planned for the week, from breast-cancer awareness and fundraising events…
Oktoberfest in South Florida has arrived, as evidenced in the happenings about town this month, but there is more to the weekend’s events than full steins and heaving dirndl-ed bosoms. Animal lovers will have a chance to spend quality social time with their best friends (or to adopt a new…
