Throwback Thursdays at Delilah Miami: A Y2K-Inspired Night of Music, Cocktails & Nostalgia

Delilah Miami 301 Brickell Key Dr, Miami, FL, United States

Do you ever miss the golden early 2000’s era of velour track suits, flip phones and chokers? Same here. But don’t sweat it — Delilah Miami, the Magic City’s premier modern-day supper club, is bringing back the best of Y2K with the launch of Throwback Thursdays – a high-energy weekly event celebrating the era’s greatest hits, electric retro-inspired cocktails and pop-culture trivia. Delilah’s signature first-class dinner and a show gets a full Y2K makeover, complete with a live band playing the best ‘00s classics (think: Britney Spears & *NSync plus all the singalong favorites), alongside dancers in hot-pick, ‘2000s-inspired costumes. Some songs just never lose their magic, so expect a night of dance floor throwbacks designed to bring you straight back to the time of rhinestone-studded flip phones and Myspace top friends. No throwback night is complete without a drinks menu to match. The lineup includes neon-hued cocktails straight out of the 2000s. Try the Y2K Cosmopolitan, a flirty blend of Ketel One Vodka, Cointreau, lime and cranberry juice (Carrie Bradshaw would approve!). Or go bold with The Incredible Hulk, a blend of Hypnotiq and Hennessy Cognac. For a caffeinated pick-me-up, sip on This Jäger is Bomb, featuring Jägermeister Cold Brew, or indulge in the Adiós, Delilah, a mix of Ketel One Vodka, El Tesoro Blanco Tequila, Tanqueray Gin, Bacardi White Rum, Blue Curaçao, lemon, Sprite and orange boba. And of course, no early 2000s night would be complete without Strawberry Jello Shots. At Delilah’s Throwback Thursdays, they’re on the house… Who doesn’t love a taste of college nostalgia?! Who in your crew remembers the most about the start of reality TV, MTV countdowns and those AIM away messages? With a rotating set of questions every week, Delilah’s Pop Culture Trivia puts your 2000s knowledge to the test with questions quizzing you on those iconic moments we all know and love (think TV shows like The Simple Life or TRL). Whether competing for bragging rights or simply reliving the golden age of Sidekick phones, the game is the ultimate throwback challenge. So, dig out your skinny jeans, grab your crew, and head to Delilah’s Throwback Thursday, every Thursday night from 7 p.m.-late, for all the early 2000s vibes. Just a heads-up—no photos allowed! They’re keeping it old-school, back when memories lived in our flip phones and not the cloud. It’s all about the experience. Reservations are available via SevenRooms.

LIAIGRE MIAMI X ATELIERS COURBET: A HARMONIOUS COLLABORATION

LIAIGRE MIAMI 137 NE 40th Street, Miami, FL, United States
Liaigre, the French Maison known for its rigorously restrained palette and rarefied interiors, has quietly launched a new collaboration at its Miami showroom with a partner that might surprise some: Ateliers Courbet, the art-world favorite known for spotlighting makers at the intersection of design and craft. The collaboration introduces the work of South African ceramicist Katherine Glenday, whose delicate, hand-thrown vessels now punctuate the space with soft color and texture—disrupting (in the most elegant way) the house’s signature minimalism. The idea was sparked by Melanie Courbet, founder of Ateliers Courbet, whose curatorial vision has long focused on the work of artisans steeped in centuries-old methods. What’s intriguing here is the restraint: this is not a flashy installation, but rather a slow, intentional layering of artistry into a space that’s already quietly iconic. It opens up questions about what luxury looks like now—and how materials and process are becoming just as important as silhouette or scale. We invite you to experience this dialogue between Liaigre’s timeless design and Atelier Courbet’s celebration of artisanal mastery, with an exhibition featuring Katherine Glenday’s work on display at Liaigre Miami through May 2025.

Island City Stage, Brévo Theatre and GableStage present Fat Ham

Island City Stage 2304 N. Dixie Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Island City Stage in Wilton Manors, Brévo Theatre in Pompano Beach and GableStage in Coral Gables will present their collaborative production of Fat Ham, the 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by James Ijames, this spring. This first-time historic partnership among three of South Florida's leading theatre companies, made possible by a generous $250,000 grant from The Warten Foundation, will bring this imaginative and witty reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet that tackles identity, belonging and generational issues, to both Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Fat Ham will premiere at Island City Stage from April 3 – May 4 and then moves to GableStage from May 16 - June 15, 2025. Fat Ham transforms Shakespeare's Hamlet into an over-the-top tale set in a North Carolina BBQ pit. With a twist, the Danish castle becomes a Southern backyard barbecue, and Juicy, a Black, gay southern kid, navigates familial legacies and a ghostly demand for vengeance. The clash of generations unfolds in this award-winning adaptation, exploring the complexities of identity and violence. Jesse Green, theater critic for The New York Times wrote, “That Fat Ham achieves its happy, even joyful, ending honestly, without denying the weight of forces that make Hamlet feel just as honest, is a sign of how capacious and original the writing is, growing the skin of its own necessity instead of merely burrowing into Shakespeare’s.” Fat Ham is directed by T.M. Pride and stars Toddra Brunson (Rabby), Henry Cadet (Juicy), Melvin Huffnagle (Rev/Papa), Cassidy Joseph (Opal), Denzel McCausland (Larry), Mikhael Mendoza (Tio) and April Nixon (Tedra). Fat Ham is presented by an arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. The play runs for one hour and 35 minutes with no intermission. Individual show tickets at Island City Stage start at $43. A Mimosa Sunday Brunch sponsored by Misty Daniels will take place on April 13 with tickets at $55. As part of this unique presentation, the theatre companies will also offer a series of fun cookouts and community conversations to engage audiences. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.islandcitystage.org, call (954) 928-9800 or email boxoffice@islandcitystage.org.

Elephants: Giants of the Desert at the AutoNation® IMAX® 3D Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science

AutoNation® IMAX® 3D Theater Museum of Discovery and Science 401 SW 2nd St., Fort Lauderdale,, FL, United States
Follow Little Foot and her protective herd in Elephants: Giants of the Desert, a larger-than-life 3D documentary film about a rare group of elephants in the Namib Desert, now playing at the AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Created by the filmmakers of popular giant screen titles Sea Lions: Life by A Whisker and Serengeti: Journey to the Heart of Africa, Elephants: Giants of the Desert brings the inspiring story of a resilient elephant family surviving against the odds in one of the harshest environments on Earth - Africa’s Namib Desert - to the giant screen for the very first time. Filmed on location in the Namib, one of the oldest and largest deserts, the film provides unprecedented access to one of only two populations of desert elephants in the world, totaling close to 150 individuals compared to a historic population of 2,500-3,500 in the 18th century. Despite having significant needs for water, these elephants have somehow learned to thrive in this land of extremes. With a slow reproduction cycle of 3+ years and a high mortality rate due partly to the desert conditions, every calf becomes more than precious, and the desert elephants themselves seem to know it well, too. The film’s story is driven by Little Foot, a newborn calf, as she survives her perilous and most vulnerable first year despite the odds, helped by a fierce extended family of elephants. Audiences will follow Little Foot on an epic and at times whimsical journey, getting up close and personal with the largest land mammals on the planet as they care for the smallest member of the herd. Together the matriarchal herd of aunts and sisters will brave the desert’s elements and use some elephant superpowers, from finding underground aquifers to foreseeing sandstorms. Through the eyes of these elephants, audiences will also see the hidden side of an otherworldly and formidable landscape, where a cast of iconic animals including giraffes, monkeys and lions form a unique canvas of life. To capture the adventures of Little Foot on screen, the filmmaking crew including Paul Phelan, Tamatea Kohu and Cam Batten lived another kind of adventure behind the camera, lugging intricate production gear into the remote desert, and battling the elements despite being out of their natural habitat. Earning the trust of the elephants, especially around their little one, took patience and respect, for which the filmmakers were rewarded with a close look into the lives of these enigmatic yet endangered creatures. Elephants: Giants of the Desert is a family friendly movie filmed for Giant Screen and IMAX® theaters in native 3D, where state-of-the-art image and sound will immerse audiences in the unbelievable world of the elephants and their true story of family and survival. Elephants: Giants of the Desert is produced by Definition Studios and distributed by K2 Studios. The AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science is located at 401 SW 2nd Street in Fort Lauderdale. The film Elephants: Giants of the Desert is included in the MODS Discovery Pass, an all-in-one ticket that includes Museum exhibitions, live science demonstrations and one IMAX® documentary film.

Set in the 1950s, this adaptation of Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel follows a seemingly sensible newlywed Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her wayward brother-in-law (Jacob Elordi) as they undertake parallel journeys of risk, romance, and self-discovery.

On April 19, the Ladies Spotlight Sisters (Canada, 2024), a heartfelt tale of love, identity, and belonging, and the Men’s Spotlight North American premiere of Streets of Gloria (Ruas da Gloria) (Brazil, 2024), a bold, sultry exploration of love and desire, will screen beginning at 7 p.m. at Regal Cinemas South Beach.

History Fort Lauderdale presents “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” Exhibit

History Fort Lauderdale 231 SW Second Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
History Fort Lauderdale, in celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, will present “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” from Thursday, May 1 – Sunday, June 29. The exhibition will showcase rarely seen historical photographs from the museum’s collection alongside contemporary works by artists Christina Lihan and Abby Laughlin. A free public opening reception with the artists will take place on Thursday, May 1, from 6 – 8 p.m., at the New River Inn Museum of History building on History Fort Lauderdale’s campus (231 Southwest Second Avenue). Florida-based artist Christina Lihan transforms delicate paper into intricate sculptural landscapes, hand-cutting, folding, scoring and carving architectural forms that play with light and shadow. With a background in architecture from the University of Virginia and Columbia University, her work reflects a deep understanding of composition, technique, and design. Her meditative, labor-intensive process creates immersive environments that evoke a sense of place, often raising subtle questions of environmental justice. Her pieces have been exhibited internationally, from Shanghai to Tel Aviv, and she was recently commissioned to create eight large-scale sculptures for a new hotel in central London. Fort Lauderdale artist and activist Abby Laughlin documents the beauty and history of mid-century modern architecture through photography and curated exhibitions. A former real estate professional with expertise in adaptive rehab, she brings a passionate, hands-on perspective to the importance of historic properties in shaping community identity. Laughlin serves on the boards of the Fort Lauderdale History Center and Docomomo US Florida, and is currently developing three major projects, including a fine arts book and a photography exhibit on mid-century landmarks. Her work captures both the nostalgia and urgency of preserving South Florida’s architectural heritage. History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, hosts a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology,” “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.” History Fort Lauderdale’s “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund. Additional funding is provided, in part, by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale. Beginning May 1, History Fort Lauderdale will be open five days a week from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. with docent guided tours, daily, at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. (closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Group walking tours are available upon special request. Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID). Admission is free for members, military and children ages six and under. Tickets are available online at HistoryFortLauderdaleTickets.
