It is my distinct pleasure to invite you to one of the highlights of the 2009/2010 New World Symphony Season.
Join us as the orchestra performs one of the greatest pieces of music of all time, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, on October 24 at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. A truly monumental work, Beethoven’s 9th has been used to represent countries at the Olympics, in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, and in numerous other applications in popular media.
Master Chorale of South Florida, University of Miami Frost Chorale and four renowned vocal soloists will join Michael Tilson Thomas and NWS on stage, resulting in more than 200 performers for one of the most spectacular concerts of the year.
The performance will be followed by a lush post-performance bash at the nearby Marquis Condominium, 3rd floor Luxe Lounge. There will be a live musical performance at the After Hours, featuring The Green Room, classified as “Rock a la U2 meets Franz Ferdinand meets Muse.” The show will be one part DJ, one part original classical music, and 1 part rock, all in one stage, all in one night, and all in one performance. The guests will also enjoy FREE VALET PARKING at the Marquis, open bar and lite bites.
Friends Concert tickets range from $25-$79. After Hours members get a 10 percent discount, VIP members get complimentary tickets (and a 20 percent discount on additional ticket purchases). Call the box office at 305-673-3331 to buy your concert tickets.

Best Happy Hour in Miami
Feeling Clammy?
8th Annual Hollywood Beach Clambake
By now you've probably noticed, we're surrounded by an, um, ocean full of water. Yet finding worthy wet places isn't always easy sailing, is it captain? Forget that sinking feeling, 'cause this Weekly Yelp dives in and comes up big on just where to make a splash in Miami!
It's hard to beat the views of the Great Big Blue from an island or two, so jump the Rickenbacker to Virgina Key and Key Biscayne. Don't forget to save that receipt, because it'll save you a buck at WetLab – and with their regular $2.25 and $3 prices on beers and drinkies, a Washington goes a long way. Head to the end of the Key to find beautiful Bill Baggs and the lighthouse, but for that ultimate drinking pleasure, park it at Boater's Grill in No Name Harbour. Remember Armando L's advice and keep an eye out for dolphins... and no, not Ricky Williams!
Think parks are all about green grass and fresh air? Blue Marlin inside Oleta River State Park is an old Florida throwback; Brandon R recommends "you sit outside on the side of the river with the wind blowing, but under a roof so you aren't baking in the sun." Eschel H enjoys the low-key vibe of Black Point Ocean Grill. "Nothing could be more casual, but the atmosphere is very cool, and the view of the marina is great." And if you've got a boat and plan on heading down to the Keys, he suggests "stopping by on your way to and/or on your way back!" Now, who's got a boat?
Miami Beach may be known for its Atlantic coastline, but it also has bay views to boast. For Janelle F "the best part about eating at the Miami Yacht Club is their outside seating. You are literally ten steps away from the water... it is super relaxing and really feels like you're 'getting away' for lunch." The Standard on the Venetian provides Marcos R with "the perfect spot to be during sunset." Sure the drinks are "a little spendy, but you gotta spoil yourself once in awhile," right? Speaking of the cost of luxe living, the Sunset Lounge inside the Mondrian sets a high bar, but Kelly O's here to tell us the lavish locale does not disappoint. Complete with a whimsical feel and sweeping views of the city, sky, and seas, as well as $16 cocktails, some views just might be worth the cost!
What's your favorite water-ing hole? Dive into Talk and tell us all about it!

"One of my favorite spots by the water... if you can find and get to it. Having guests arrive by boat (or sometimes Yacht would be more appropriate) adds to the charm and seems to be the simpler way to get here.

Miami - Speakeasy Does It
Speakeasy Does It
Bardot Speakeasy Opens
bardot!
You’ve been standing around all year wearing your flapper headband and sipping a classic cocktail — with no proper place to go.
But tomorrow Miami finally jumps on the speakeasy bandwagon with the opening of Bardot.
The lounge, designed for sophisticates and their artsy brethren, comes to you from Amir Ben-Zion, the gent behind faves like Bond St. and Sra. Martinez.
The hush-hush hipster spot has no address — instead dwelling behind an unmarked red awning in Wynwood (where else?). Before 9 p.m., Bardot serves nibbles both salty and sweet. But the main event is the entertainment: music, performance art, and burlesque along with screenings of cultural events like political debates.
Expect nostalgic decor like vintage sofas with faux fur throws, a Baldwin piano, and a library with an antique chessboard, backgammon, and an old-fashioned pool table.
Right on cue.
Bardot, 34th Street and North Miami Avenue, entrance in back alley, Wynwood (305-576-5570 or bardotmiami.com). Map It
