IRON OUT THE KINKS
Nine Sexy Films, One Dominatrix

ACQUIRED TASTE
A Night of Really, Really Good Food. And Japanese Drums.
Tomorrow evening, you’ll walk into Hyde Beach to find stations helmed by Katsuya Uechi, Dale Talde and Paul Qui. Go to them. Then, loosen up at the sake bar. Because at 11pm, the chefs and some Japanese drummers will be joining you on the dance floor. All of this seems perfectly agreeable.

Diplomat Prime, Then and Now
Then: Diplomat Prime was a stately and formal steakhouse affair. Now: It’s got a softer, beachier vibe with murals of ’50s bathing beauties and a new dining room layout. Then: Steak. Potatoes. Greens. Now: A mostly new menu with a raw bar and, yes, prime ribeye aged in-house. Then: Oh, you’re already gone.

HER NAME IS RIO
Reveling Like a Brazilian in Wynwood
Wynwood’s got a lot to celebrate. Related: the Brazilian party you’re invited to this Saturday at the Wynwood Yard. It’s got all the requisites like caipirinhas, live Brazilian funk and… jerk barbecue. Most of the requisites.
Jackie Gutierrez-Jones finds unhyphenated names quaint. She believes that croquetas and gin cocktails are suitable precursors to running and hoisting heavy weights over one’s head.
