Attention South Florida elite: There's a brand new playground for satisfying your going-out fix, and it offers up fun in just the right doses. Stereo at the Parkwest Nightclub, otherwise known as the best reason ever to forsake the beach for that forbidden area west of NE 2nd Avenue, has officially opened its doors.

True confession: I have always loved bingo. More than most people. Possibly more than is healthy for an adult. I also like to dance.

You're running around the city like a mad woman looking for that restaurant where you're supposed to meet your friends, but you forgot to scribble down the address before you left the office. Sure, you could hop on your BlackBerry and try to look it up, but what if all you had to do was whip out your cute little planner for the insta-answer?

Are you slang stupid? Here's a test. When your teenage cousin comes by to visit, and says, "Float me some cheddar cuz I need to bounce. I'm gonna let that boy next door tap this ass, but first we're going to get mad crunk," should you give her $2 for ice cream? Call a priest because she's suddenly talking in tongues?

"This is not just another wine bar," explains Don Davis, co-owner of Bin 38, a new Marina hot spot that boasts an outdoor back patio with a fire pit that's an attractive option these days considering that temps are still in the '50s. But the best part about this new bar?

In his introduction to Jeff Parker's wonderfully weird debut about a skateboarder working in a pizza parlor in the '90s, fellow writer Sam Lipsyte says, "Welcome to Ovenman. This excellent novel comes in many flavors, or, better yet, toppings: stripmall bildungsroman, punk-skater picaresque, comedy of (bad) manners, quasi-love story, service industry send-up, and military-industrial satire among them." Which might sound like hyperbole, but it's kind of true.

What do you want to do before you die? Ride a bike in your birthday suit down the side of the Matterhorn? Do the hokey-pokey with the Pope? Make a bigger-than-life sized paper machete bust of Rush Limbaugh and blow it up in Giant Stadium in front of an audience of thousands?
