It’s a Free Country

You can’t put a price on good culture, and on this and every third Thursday of the month, neither can the Museum of Art. That’s when their reoccurring series, Third Thursdays, offers free admission to the Museum, live entertainment, and 2-4-1 drink specials from the Museum Cafe. On April 16,…

Clue Me In

Everyone knows it’s bad manners to show up empty handed to a dinner party. But it’s equally bad manners to show up and off the host. Which is what happened on one fateful night in 1935, when ten complete strangers were summoned to the luxurious mansion of Lord Dudley Rancour…

Go, Cart

For years you’ve longed to feel the wind on your face and the exhilaration as you race down the highway at speeds untold. Unfortunately, I-95 isn’t the safest place in the world to do that. But there’s a place where your inner speed demon can be released: Xtreme Indoor Karting…

Get Stranded in the Island City

Wilton Manors is known as the Island City. But unlike the natives on Lost, these islanders are the friendly, inviting type who only want to share the wonders of their city with outsiders. The best way to experience that firsthand is to check out the Island City Artwalk, going down…

The Jerk

Every good guy needs a nemesis – someone to bash him when he’s down, to kick sand in his eyes, and to generally piss people off. Which isn’t to say we always hate these jerks; sometimes, they’re damn funny. Which must be why veteran local comic Lisa Corrao is hosting…

Episode I: Attack of the Beer Clones

You might not even realize it, but when you order up a beer at the bar, you’re taking part in a war. You’re a soldier on the front line of battle; only instead of a bayonet in your hand, you’ve got a pint glass. And you’re not afraid to use…

Do You Cut the Colonel Mustard?

No other form of entertainment has made more fun out of horrible, gruesome, cold-blooded murder than Clue, the mystery-solving board game where players attempt to discover who dunnit, where they dunnit, and what they dunnit with. Tonight at the 14th Annual Clueless on Las Olas, a real life version of…

Building a Better Beerfest

Listen here for a second, bub: There are a couple things you’re going to need to do in order to prepare yourself for the hoppy Valhalla that is the New Times’ Original Beerfest, sponsored by Paul and Young Ron and BX Beer Depot. First, head to browardpalmbeach.com and pick yourself…

No Money Munny

Never designed your own Munny before, those featureless vinyl dolls that act as a blank canvas for your creations? Well, Sunday is your chance, as Pink Ghost hosts a day-long Mini Mobile Munny Decorating Party, completely for free. Just show up anytime during store hours (noon to 7 p.m.) and…

Art, Distilled

There’s something about DaDa, that hip little restaurant/bar in Delray Beach, that transforms an ordinary night of drinking with friends into a form of mental exploration. Maybe it’s the Old Florida house in which it’s set, or the staff’s obvious appreciation for good art, but something inside just exudes poetry…

Humanism, Defined

Join Norm Allen Jr., director of African Americans for Humanism as he discusses the benefits of a secular life. He proposes that religion instills “Pie in the Sky, by and by, for those who accept submission,” and that science, medicine, reason and reasonableness, and practical ethics should be the mantra…

Interview with Beer Wars’ Director Anat Baron

It’s going to be a beer-filled kind of week, folks. First, New Times’ Original Beerfest is only five days away. If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet to the four-hour celebration of import and craft brews, you can pick them up here. Second, this Thursday is the opening of Beer…

Beer of the Week: Avery Reverend, Quadrupel Belgian Ale

Unrepentant beer drinkers, rejoice! Each week, Clean Plate Charlie will select one craft or import beer and give you the lowdown on it: How does it taste? What should you drink it with? Where can you find it? But mostly, it’s all about the love of the brew. If you…

Little India

The Association of Performing Arts of India is throwing down with a classical music concert today at the Broward County Library celebrating the life of Ustad Bismillah Khan, the shehnai maestro who, in 2001, was awarded the highest honor in Indian culture. Seasoned musicians Ustad Ali Ahmed Hussain Khan, Janab…

Rastaman, Live Up

Entertainment Tonight said of veteran dancer Rasta Thomas that he’s “what you would get if you took the best of Baryshnikov, Bruce Lee, and Michael Jackson.” The competitive dancer of both classic and contemporary styles has shaped the world of performance dance as we know it – now he’s sticking…

Not the Baby

Every kid wants to hunt for Easter eggs during the thoroughly macabre Christian holiday – how eggs came to be associated with Easter, though, is thought to be Pagan in origin. Why not combine one Pagan principle with another – namely, science – when the South Florida Science Museum hosts…

Get Your Golden Ticket

When Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was remade in 2005 by Tim Burton as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a little bit of cinema history died. What could Burton and crew hoped to add to the already flawless musical adaptation of the Ronald Dahl classic – especially by replacing…

B and B

The Italians know that almost any time is occasion for a feast. Easter Sunday? Puuh-lease. That’s practically an invitation to gorge. Head over to BRIO Tuscan Grille today for a Easter brunch the Romans would be proud of: frittata al forno, eggs benedictano, Tuscan French toast (woah) with mascarpone, crab…

Betty Would Be Proud

Grab your corset, don a garter, and get over to Exotique, an Alter Ego Fetish Party event taking inspiration from the retro fetish fashions of the 1950s. Think Betty Page on a kinky, weekend getaway. Dress code is strictly enforced. Tickets cost $15, or $10 if you order online in…

Splash into Easter

In the grand scheme of things, Easter is quite a bummer of a holiday. Even if you’re a really bad Christian, chances are your parents, girlfriend, or grandmother will guilt you into going to church today — “at least once in your heathen life.” The promise of candy will probably…

Paint Yo’ Ass Off

Join Art Rx as they host Wetpaintathon, a day-long live painting session at the Lounge stretching on for a staggering 19 hours. Local artists Heather Tipton and Vincent Lardieri are “headlining,” painting in support of their college careers (proceeds will do towards their college tuition… interesting). You can purchase a…

When Brawlers Attack

You’ll do just about anything to avoid getting in a fight: pushing old ladies in front of would-be attackers; feigning a mental handicap to dissuade that meatsack at the bar from thwacking you; covering your face and screaming, “Please don’t hit me!” when startled in front of the library by…
