5. Laffing Matterz: With a Vengeance

Along with the giggles, Laffing Matterz: With a Vengeance is serving up more calories in the Abdo New River Room at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. This is America, after all.

With each performance, guests can choose from entrées such as grilled mahi-mahi, butternut squash ravioli, and lamb osso buco to enjoy with their salads and challah rolls. Drinks, appetizers, and desserts will be sold separately.

While you take a stab at your lamb shank, the comedians will skewer everything from Obamacare to global warming to Paula Deen. Think of it as Saturday Night Live but with more singing and less sucking. -- By Kristin Bjornsen

4. Sunday Gospel Brunch

It doesn't have to be a hetero birthday party to bring you to Lips, a place ballsy enough to tag "the Ultimate in Drag Dining" right next to its name -- making it seem like it's actually part of the name. You don't have to wait for a bachelorette party. Lips isn't the first place you think of for a typical Sunday brunch, but, every now and then, it should be. Just because it's Sunday, go to Lips. Just because you live here, go to Lips, for Gospel Brunch.

3. NYY Valentine's Day Dinner for Two

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about showing that special someone how much you care -- it's doesn't have to include spending tons of money. To make it easier on the wallet, NYY Steak is offering a three-course dinner for $150 per couple. It includes smoked lobster and scallop salad, Chateaubriand and lobster tail, choice of two sides, and a chocolate trio for dessert. -- By Sara Ventiera

2. The Anti-Valentine's Day Affair

Screw Valentine's Day. Well, just for this event, at least. Living Room hosts its first anti-Valentine's Day occasion for single folks. Couples are the outcasts here. All must don wristbands in either green, yellow, or red. Green means you're ready to mingle, yellow implies that you're on the fence, and red means you're taken. Other parts of the festivities include music by DJ Richie Rich, champagne specials, and a signature Valentine's Day cocktail, Blush, from Living Room. -- By Natalya Jones
