Give Some Gold, Get Some Gold

As a stand-up comic and Jewish mother of two, Judy Gold is infinitely qualified to dish on the idiosyncrasies of wiping schmutz off faces and schlepping children to school. Tonight, she’ll be doing all that while you dish, er, dine that is, for a good cause. Her dinner performance will…

Vixens on Wheels

Each Thursday, downtown Lake Worth revs up for the Lake Worth Bike Night, a celebration that stops in at bars and restaurants across Lake and Lucerne avenues. Drink specials at participating venues, bands perform live, and pin-up vixens and hogs clog the streets in a party that will run all…

Carbonated Craft

Artist Francisco Sheuat has made a habit of saving what you might call junk and turning it into fine art — in the past, a little discarded Styrofoam in his hands might have become a vibrantly colored, 3-D flamingo. But with his latest exhibit, “Pop Art” Sheuat found inspiration in…

Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

Toy, art, and clothing shop Pink Ghost already has a nifty selection of hip T-shirts — one that comes to mind immediately is a shirt with a cartoon hamburger that coyly suggests he “wants to be inside of you.” But the shop’s newest arrivals are more hip-hop than just plain…

Three’s Company

As far as numbers go, three is generally a lot cooler than one or two. Sometimes, it is also cooler than four. It may take two to tango, but it takes three to party. Trois is generally the best sort of ménage — any more and you have an orgy,…

A Change Will Do You Good

We’ve had to brave eight long years of ineffectual, blow-to-the-head-stupid government, endure a torturously long presidential race, and plow through the reeking depths of a recession — but Inauguration Day is finally here! Our choice for the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, is about to be sworn…

Obama Is Three Syllables, Haiku Lovers

Well, here’s a handful of ways you can celebrate, commemorate, and otherwise contemplate President Obama’s inauguration: Start at 3:30 p.m. at the Palm Beach Poetry Festival, where the public is invited to share their original poetry in honor of Barack. Expect unchecked enthusiasm, haikus, and people looking for a word…

Night Time is the Right Time, For Barack

Folks on Clematis Street will also be carrying a big one for Barack; West Palm Beach’s Clematis by Night Inauguration Celebration will start at noon with viewings at downtown establishments along the drive. At 7 p.m., an inaugural salute will take place at the 200 block, with music and free…

Ain’t That America

Finally, City Limits will be jamming all night in honor of number 44 during the All America Inauguration Celebration. Dymin, Fly by Night, and DJ Big Step will perform, and the club will simulcast live from the party town itself, Washington D.C., starting at 6 p.m. Find city limits at…

“Go Ahead, Punk…

OK, here’s the movie pitch: Take one part fetish vixen Rubberdoll. One part 600-plus-pound professional wrestler Maximum Capacity. Top with a floater of creepy, ghetto bass purveyor Otto Von Schirach, a splash of Miami promoter Notorious Nastie, and garnish with the TM Sisters, Ted Vernon, and Sweat Records, then serve…

The McDonald’s Rationalization

“Where you been, bitch?”Last week, I did something bad. Really, really bad. It was Wednesday, and I was very hungry. But I was also very busy, and short on cash. And so I decided, with a sorrowful resignation, to do something I hadn’t done in ages: I went to McDonald’s…

Dinner at Morimoto Sushi Bar

Ever since Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto unveiled his latest restaurant, Morimoto, in Boca Raton Resort & Club, Short Order has been dying to go. I mean, the man is an Iron Chef, both on the original Japanese program and the new Food Network creation, Iron Chef America, and this restaurant,…

Sand Castle

Stoners from all over the world are well acquainted with the otherworldly draw of the White Castle burger. But what most people don’t know is the secret that makes the patented “slyders” so irresistible. It’s all in the cooking process: the miniature patties are never griddle fried. Instead, they are…

Don’t Be a Bulbasaur

At first look, the trading card phenomenon Pokemon may seem like it’s only for children. For example, all your adult sensibilities will command you to roll your eyes when you hear the word Squirtle, which of course is a kind of Pokemon that looks like a turtle and squirts liquid…

Out of Miami

As fans of electronic music in South Florida, you’re well accustomed to hauling your tracksuit-wearing butt down to Miami for every major event worth seeing, from Ultra to WMC. But today, it’s the Miami-denizens who will have to truck it if they want to catch one hell of an electronic…

New Year’s on the Beach

Celebrate New Year’s in style with Trina’s special holiday menu: Champagne Oysters West Coast Oysters Poached in Champagne with Leek Fondue & Sevruga Caviar Caramelized Calves Sweetbreads Pickled Winter Vegetables & Perigord Truffle Vinaigrette Lobster Roll Butter Poached Maine Lobster Wrapped in Saffron Pasta & Tarragon Foam Roast Poisson French…

Frozen Stiff

It’s hard to imagine a time when journalists were still able to ask the tough questions of politicians without endless rebuke. That might be why, despite critical acclaim, audiences didn’t turn out for the film adaptation of Frost/Nixon — they must’ve thought the story of British TV host David Frost’s…

Mangi!

Yes, it’s only Friday, but it’s never too early to get a start on your Sunday sauce. At least, you can learn how to make that sauce (er, isn’t that gravy?) like an Italian grandmother during tonight’s Publix Apron’s Cooking School class with the DelGrosso Family. You may know DelGrosso…

Greener Pastures

The festival-going community in South Florida had some mixed reactions to the moving of Langerado from the swampy stretches west of Broward to the fairer shores of Biscayne Bay. Lots of die-hard hippy types are pissed that their homegrown fest is going all MIA on them (and maybe they have…

Better Living Through…Better Living

Stop us if we’re off here, but if you’re anything like us your holidays probably went something like this: stressful dash to finish work before days off, open presents, drink to excess, stuff belly, sleep it off, drink to excess, remember about work you forgot while recovering from drinking, make…

Making Memories

The Boardwalk Bar is not just a “night out,” in the pure sense of the term. It is, in fact, the kind of place that you go to in order to get thoroughly debauched. It’s a male strip club, and it is famous among New Times staffers as “the place…

Who You Calling a Beefcake?

If you need a release from all the sexuality, you may want to check out the all-new Beefcakes Bar and Grill inside Boardwalk. Taking over the old Birdcage spot, the joint will serve as a more casual compliment to the raucous bar, offering burgers, salads, and wraps at reasonable prices…
