Things to do for November 23, 2012

The Weekender

Ping-Pong, Hedy Goldsmith and Doing the Safety Dance

The weekend is going back for seconds.

Friday
Safety Dancing at Grand Central
STRONG SAFETY

Safety Dancing at Grand Central

Tonight, you’re going to see Men Without Hats (yes, the “Safety Dance” guys) live. If this were 1983, it’d be a small to medium deal. Tonight, however, it’s an ’80s-themed party at Grand Central. DJs: yes. People in parachute pants: yes. You in parachute pants: probably not yes.

Saturday
Game-Day Cocktailing at Area 31
AREA CODE

Game-Day Cocktailing at Area 31

You love a good postgame cocktail. Area 31 knows this. So for every Heat game for the rest of the season, they’re celebrating on their outdoor terrace with ceviche, chorizo croquettes and drink specials. If there were ever a reason for the Heat to go deep into the playoffs again...

Nov 24 (and subsequent game days), 5pm-midnight, Area 31, 270 Biscayne Blvd Way, 305-424-5234

Monday
Hedy Goldsmith Comes to Sugarcane
’CANE DO

Hedy Goldsmith Comes to Sugarcane

Sugarcane is putting something new on their menu Monday. Hedy Goldsmith. Yup, the Michael’s Genuine chef is joining forces with Timon Balloo to do a special six-to-eight-course, cocktail-paired meal. And dessert. Definitely dessert.

Watching Movies, Playing Table Tennis
SCREEN TEST

Watching Movies, Playing Table Tennis

Dinner and a movie: you’ve done that. Ping-pong and a film festival: you’ve... well, you’ve never even thought of that. Here, try this out—the Miami Short Film Festival starts Monday. They’re doing a nightly wrap party at Chalk with complimentary beer and table tennis. Just not at the same time.

Wednesday
A Pre-Basel Warm-Up. With Pianos.
KEY PARTY

A Pre-Basel Warm-Up. With Pianos.

It’s almost that time of year again. You know, the time before the time when Art Basel almost starts. Also, when those crazy painted pianos begin popping up around town. So Wednesday, there’s a launch party for said pianos, with gratis vodka cocktails and passed bites. There’s a hot cross buns joke here somewhere...
