$5 Champagne at Area 31

It’s called “Veuve on the Clock,” and it works like this: a normally $20 glass of Veuve Clicquot will be priced according to the time during happy hour. From 5 to 5:59pm, a glass is $5; from 6 to 6:59pm, $6; and so on. Fingers crossed for “Lobster on the Clock.”

Mon-Fri, 5-8pm, Area 31, 270 Biscayne Blvd Way, 305-424-5234

Friday
Endless Paella on Ocean Drive
FLEXING MUSSELS

Endless Paella on Ocean Drive

You’ve been wanting to eat your body weight in paella for some time now. It happens tomorrow night, when Maya kicks off their Friday all-you-can-eat paella dinner party on the patio. Look for the three-foot pan, the flamenco guitar players and the Penelope Cruz look-alikes.

GREAT WALL

Introducing the Wallcast

Ever since you left Juilliard to pursue a career in hip-hop, you’ve turned your back on the symphony. But you’ll want to return tomorrow, when the New World will be projecting a live concert of Wagner on the new Frank Gehry–designed music hall. Don’t forget the picnic basket.

Saturday
Watching Movies on the Beach
THE BIG PICTURE

Watching Movies on the Beach

Speaking of picnic baskets, you’ll want to pack yours with more wine, cheese and/or Cheez-Its on Saturday and head to the sands behind One Bal Harbour for an outdoor screening of a music documentary. There’ll be couches and free popcorn, so maybe don’t bring that girl with braces.

Sunday
Gratis Tea Cocktails in the DD
MODEL TEA

Gratis Tea Cocktails in the DD

Even if you never cared for iced tea, you’ll want to head to The Stage on Sunday night, when the head bartender from Hakkasan will be mixing you unlimited tea cocktails like the Midnight Cantonese Tea, made with vodka, ginger liqueur and jasmine tea. No one sips tea like you.

Jan 30, 7-10pm, no cost, The Stage, 170 NE 38th St, 305-576-9577
