Olas Oysters
For the Venice of America, Fort Lauderdale fell short on quality seafood restaurants. The Riverside Hotel's Wild Sea Oyster Bar & Grille not only brings the underrepresented cuisine to bustling Las Olas, but with 21st-century sustainability and freshness-inspired daily menus. Happy hour parties gather around the Gorge, a raw bar tower overflowing with delicacies like prawns, caviar and oysters from seaweed-tasting Totten Inlets to sweet Beavertails shucked on demand for a New Orleans vibe. Seasonal ingredients spring's first asparagus, just-picked peaches, pungent ramps enhance entrees such as trout from Sunburst Farm in western North Carolina, and beef cheeks braised in Alabama-based Back 40 honey brown ale.

Hogs & Horses
One doesn't need an old Kentucky home to watch the fillies fly at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 4. Just don your best hat think Philip Treacy spectacle-making styles for Swine Southern Table & Bar's daylong Derby party. The already theme-saturated restaurant in Coral Gables, is going hog wild with authentic touches that would impress Louisville's horsey set. BYO silver cup for their Buffalo Trace bourbon mint juleps with or without peach liqueur. The menu covers many Kentucky classics hot browns, benedictine sandwiches, smoked and spiced pecans, country ham on biscuits and bourbon balls. After an old-fashioned hat contest, hear the galloping roar from the gates at post time of 6:24 p.m.

Last Dance
The countdown to summer is on, and that means Miami's cultural offerings are drying up quicker than the Florida Everglades in late spring. Time to get your fix this weekend Miami City Ballet presents its final performance for the season at the Arsht Center. Showcasing two master choreographers, Program IV: Broadway and Ballet combines Jerome Robbins' Dances at a Gathering, and George Balanchine's Slaughter on Tenth Avenue. Robbins created the ballet following his smashing success with West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof. Set to Chopin, the plot-less piece featuring color-coded costumes is more in tune with folk dances. The latter work was originally part of On Your Toes, a 1936 hit musical marking Balanchine's Broadway foray. Photo credit: Daniel Azoulay

Fab Five
Like its green beer-swilling brother St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo generally isn't associated with tasteful times. Oddly a day chosen to celebrate Mexican heritage ends up doing just the opposite. So we've compiled a way to toast our southern neighbor in a more suitable manner. Since tequila is king come May 5, raise a glass prepared by one of the city's top mixologists. At SLS's Hyde Beach sip the new cucumber watermelon margarita, which redefines refreshment. Broken Shaker's jalisco greens cocktail resembles a healthy Jugofresh juice (kale, cayenne) only with Herradura Blanco. The Regent's John Lermayer mixes his agave nectar rita like those at Tommy's in San Francisco, the Mexican mother ship.
