It's one of the busiest night of the year to hit the town: Thanksgiving Eve. While restaurants everywhere will be offering deals on drinks and food, get the whole package with the party at Il Bacio in Delray Beach. Live entertainment will feature an opening set by Gio Black, followed by Miami Beach's Cocodrills. The restaurant will be closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving, but the party will be going all night long on Thanksgiving Eve when the bar honors its regular Thursday drink specials until midnight. That means ladies drink free (including beer, liquor, and wine), while guys get a deal with two-for-one drinks. Presale tickets are available now for $5. Call 561-235-9742, or visit the event website.
