Eighth Annual Art Scavenger Hunt The Downtowner Saloon Fri., November 28, 8:00pm Fort Lauderdale
You don't usually find hand-painted, wooden dildos peeking out of the shrubbery in downtown Fort Lauderdale. While you might wish that you could, there are simply none to be had. But on one evening out of the entire year, all of that changes. On this magical night, it is not uncommon to see the... More >>

The Leather Masked Ball whips into action tonight at Purgatory (1000 W. SR 84, Fort Lauderdale).

Mel Brooks Night Undergrounds Coffeehaus Tue., December 2 Fort Lauderdale
Mel Brooks has always stood out as a true comic’s comic. He has a knack for bringing the most showbizzy of all showbiz elements to the most unlikely topics. Who else could have arranged a song and dance sequence about the Spanish Inquisition? And not just a musical spectacle about... More >>
Q-Tip Revolution Live Wed., November 26 Fort Lauderdale
Perhaps no other group in rap’s history defined the early ’90s golden era style of hip-hop better than A Tribe Called Quest. The group put out two of the most influential rap records of all time, Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders, both of which contain singles that get spun on... More >>
Thanksgiving! Various Locations Across Broward, Palm Beach Thu., November 27 Fort Lauderdale
Even though many of us are likely to spend tonight on our couches in the throes of a tryptophan-induced coma, there are plenty of reasons why you might want to outsource your Thanksgiving experience. For one, you won't have to listen to your gun-toting uncle whine about Obama winning the... More >>
Art of Expression Zero Ping Second Thursday of every month, 10:00pm
more dates/times 		Fort Lauderdale
These days, there aren't a lot of venues left in Broward County to catch live hip-hop. Most of the clubs where the genre used to thrive have either shutdown or no longer cater to that type of music. So it forces hip-hop heads to get creative when it comes to finding a venue. As a result, two... More >>
Art of Wine Nights Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale Every other week Friday Fort Lauderdale
You’re in a rut. You’re still drinking the same merlot with the same stale group at the same wine bar, just as you’ve done for years. But that’s wearing thin. You need to shake things up! You need Art of Wine Nights at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art (One E. Las Olas... More >>
Avant Garde Improv Workshop and Jam Session Alligator Alley Every week Thursday Fort Lauderdale
Native Floridian joint Alligator Alley (1321 E. Commercial Blvd., Oakland Park) is known for a couple of things: (1) Its gladesman-style take on Cajun cooking and its bitchin’ selection of microbrews; and (2) a nearly endless stream of mind-expanding jazz, blues, and fusion music that... More >>
Aviation Station Museum of Discovery and Science Daily Fort Lauderdale
For all of the little kids who were ever called up to the cockpit and given a pair of silver (painted) wings, or who have pressed their faces against terminal windows and watched the planes take off and land, the Museum of Discovery and Science (401 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale) is opening...

Beach Boot Camp with The Health Colonel Fort Lauderdale Beach South Every week Monday, Wednesday, Saturday Fort Lauderdale
As you might expect, the man named The Health Colonel knows a thing or two about fitness. “The real issue,” he says, “has nothing to do with food -- or exercise for that matter. It has everything to do with how you think.” When we asked the Colonel – whose real name is Bob Weinstein, who is... More >>
Beach Dinner, a five-course how-to and wine tasting class for couples Whole Foods Third Saturday of every month Fort Lauderdale
If you’re like us, your idea of eating right is noshing ketchup with your fries (hey, tomatoes are a vegetable!), and exercise means getting a couple extra rounds of pool in at the bar. Don’t feel guilty. You just need a little push to show you that taking care of yourself can be fun... More >>
Bear Night at Stork’s Stork's Cafe and Bakery Every week Wednesday Fort Lauderdale
Every populated region has its own subcultures, and one of Fort Lauderdale’s friendliest is the bears – you know, those buff gay men that you just want to cuddle? They’re great for the community, because while they look like tough, muscle-bound bodyguards, they are more likely to throw... More >>
Bitchy Bingo Lips Every week Wednesday Fort Lauderdale
I once went to a Bingo game in Cranston, Rhode Island. I was 13, and I was not only the youngest person in the room, I was the youngest person in the room by something like sixty years. The exception was my father, who had driven his own great aunt to the event and was cowering with me in a... More >>
Blazing Paddles Various Locations Across Broward, Palm Beach Every week Saturday, 9:30am Fort Lauderdale
We have the Chinese to thank for paper and fireworks, but the Orient should be roundly condemned for its 2000-year-old invention, the Dragon Boat: An overlong canoe powered by two-dozen paddlers egged on by a drummer. Why a person would participate in this loud, masochistically strenuous... More >>
Blue Plate Special Bill's Filling Station Every week Sunday Fort Lauderdale
Graham Greene described the Blue Plate Special as a symbol of American democracy. It was popular in the ’20s through the ’50s. It was the kind of thing that a person in an Edward Hopper painting might order: The dish was dirt-cheap and usually consisted of veggies and meat. Today,... More >>
Board Game Night at Undergrounds Coffeehouse Undergrounds Coffeehaus Every week Thursday Fort Lauderdale
Inside Undergrounds Coffeehaus (2743 E. Oakland Park Blvd., Fort Lauderdale), Aileen Liptak, one of the shop’s two proprietors, is giggling with some regulars. The crowd is familiar and its faces are relaxed, but then they should be – Aileen has been toting this cast of mug-swigging... More >>
Broward County Fair Fort Lauderdale Stadium Daily from Thu., November 20 until Sun., November 30 Fort Lauderdale
Smell that? Smells like, er, livestock? Funnel cakes? No, no... it smells like fun!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sundays Undergrounds Coffeehaus Every week Sunday, 6:00pm Fort Lauderdale
I think we can all agree that Willow was the unsung hero in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sure, Buffy had the whole buxom, blonde, superpower thing going on, but when she needed gray matter to defeat a villain, it was always Willow, her optimistic sidekick, who hacked into a national security data...

Cardio Strip & Pole Dancing Class World Fitness Association Every week Thursday Fort Lauderdale
If beauty comes from within, exactly how deep do you need to search to reach the layer that says: “I am so beautiful I should be a stripper!” For some people, no problem, it’s right on top. For the slightly more inhibited, that layer is very deep, deep down in there and -- damn... More >>
Chess club Broward County Library -- Weston Branch Every week Sunday, 1:30pm Fort Lauderdale
When a computer named Big Blue is the most famous practitioner of your craft, you know you’ve stumbled into a niche where popularity is scarce. And the threat of ridicule by the “cool kids”? It’s very real. Take solace, chess players: You play one of the most intellectually... More >>
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Broward Center for the Performing Arts Every week Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., November 21 until Sun., November 30, 8:00pm Fort Lauderdale
Maybe it was the family heirloom that only drove in reverse, or the lemon that caught fire the day it was bought; whichever it was, you learned a valuable lesson: as much as you will them, automobiles have a mind of their own. Why are their minds used for evil instead of good? It wasn't always... More >>
Cinéma Vérité Cinema Paradiso Third Monday of every month from Mon., July 21 until Wed., December 31, 7:00pm Fort Lauderdale
The last time you heard the term cinéma vérité (cinema of truth) was in a film appreciation class in college. You got entranced by Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera and rhapsodized about the loneliness of modern life after watching Umberto D. But Cinéma... More >>
“Climate Change Exhibit” Museum of Discovery and Science Daily from Mon., November 24 until Sun., January 11 Fort Lauderdale

“College Nights” at Tequila Ranch Tequila Ranch Every week Thursday Fort Lauderdale

In this last endeavor, Tequila Ranch (at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, One Seminole Way, Hollywood) helps... More >>
Crush Sugar Lounge Every week Thursday Fort Lauderdale
Crush, the reanimated zombie of the indie dance-party world, is back in action, baby. That's not to say this is a corpse that should've died long ago. No, Crush is the sort of undying party we need more of -- a friendly sort of gathering where art and music collide, where great tunes are spun... More >>
