SUSHI

Yakko Sushi Opens at Acqualina

The raw fish gurus from Hiro's Yakko-San have teamed with the folks at posh oceanfront hotel Acqualina to open a new sushi bar in the lobby. Now you can delight in shrimp harumaki and Osaka-style sushi without venturing far from the beach. And vice versa.

Now open at Acqualina, 17875 Collins Ave (between 174th and 178th), 305-918-8000, peruse the maki goodness here

Saturday
Party at DiLido Beach Club
FULL MOON

Party at DiLido Beach Club

The Ritz South Beach takes the full-moon party ritual out of the hands of the scruffy few and gives it a Middle Eastern gloss, with belly dancers, fortune tellers, a live DJ and a Top Chef's menu of North African treats. But you can still go barefoot if you want.

No cost, 6-11pm, Jan 10, DiLido Beach Club at the Ritz-Carlton, 1 Lincoln Rd (at Washington), 786-276-4000

The White Room Turns One

You don't often find yourself in Overtown, but this downtown hipster haven's one-year anniversary (and an open bar) may warrant a jaunt to the urban jungle. Expect lots of DJs, indie-music enthusiasts and photographers—so show up camera-ready.

No cover before midnight, open bar starts at 11pm, Jan 10, The White Room, 1306 N. Miami Ave (at 13th), 305-995-5060
