Things to do for October 06, 2011
The Weekender
Hula Girls, German Beer and Karaoke for Jokes
The weekend is this close to switching off the A/C.
Thursday
Karaoke + Jokes = Karajoky
Starting tonight, the folks at Van Dyke Cafe are tweaking your usual happy hour equation. The drinks are still half off, but instead of belting out “Don’t Stop Believin’,” you’ll be honing your standup delivery. We hear it’s how Louis C.K. got his start.
A Sneak Peek at Brickell Bier Garden
Soon, this massive courtyard will open, bringing the joys of Bavaria to Downtown. Until that moment, you can get a taste of Germanic splendor this weekend with live DJs, servers in lederhosen and pints of Radeberger. Bring your good stein.
Friday
SushiSamba Introduces Battleship Sushi
Basically, this is a little surprise in the form of sushi. Called gunkan maki—or battleship maki—it’s rice wrapped in nori and topped with things like salmon roe. Try the Wagyu with quail egg or the foie gras with pear and eel sauce to really get a feel for the medium.
Dancing with Hula Girls atop the Dream
We’ve all been there: you’re making plans to properly commemorate this month’s full moon, and suddenly you’re overcome with the urge to carouse with hula girls and Hawaiian fire dancers. Preferably on a rooftop in South Beach. Boom. This party at the Dream. Sometimes the answers are so simple.
Sunday
A Classy Teatime at Vizcaya Café
You’re already familiar with the charms of the bayfront café at Vizcaya. And now that they’ve added this new tea-on-the-terrace service, you’ve got an added excuse to hit the sun-kissed patio for a quiet date on a Sunday afternoon. That and you’re a sucker for scones and clotted cream.
