LUNCHING

DeVito South Beach Introduces Lunch

Danny DeVito's chophouse is still going strong, dishing out fist-sized meatballs and spicy calamari. Now you can get the belly-filling fare for lunch, though you might have to endure the wee man's movies looped on flat screens inside. (Fingers crossed for Twins.)

11:45am-3pm, Monday-Friday, DeVito South Beach, 150 Ocean Dr (between 1st and 2nd), 305-531-0911

Inauguration Station at SushiSamba

The Brazilian-Japanese fusion spot gets all patriotic in honor of Obama's swearing-in, with a live broadcast and themed cocktails like the $11 Red (raspberries, rum, white tea). Show up as Uncle Sam and you may walk away with the cosplay cash prize. Or a person who's into Uncle Sams.

No cost, 7pm, Jan 20, SushiSamba Dromo, 600 Lincoln Rd (between Pennsylvania and Euclid), 305-673-5337

PopRocks Party at Buck 15

Wednesday is the new Friday, according to the folks at graffiti-embellished lounge Buck 15. Their new hump-day party, aptly titled PopRocks with DJ Zehno, lures you with two-for-one Skky Vodka drinks until 11pm, no cover and a laid-back atmosphere. Think of it as casual Wednesday.

No cost, 10pm, Jan 21, Buck 15, 707 Lincoln Ln (above Miss Yip), 305-534-5488
