Single, coupled, or somewhere in between, there is something for everyone this weekend.
Things to do this week include booking a reservation for Valentine's Day -- something that needs to happen quickly if you don't want to be shut out of the game -- or making plans for a special pre-Valentine's outing. There are plenty of fun date ideas for the weekend, but no shortage of options for singles and/or those who couldn't be bothered with the lovey-dovey crap and instead want to focus on food and drink.

Get stoned with crab claws this weekend in Fort Lauderdale.

Options this week for food-centered fun in South Florida range from the highbrow (swanky fundraising tastings) to the not-so-highbrow (deep-fried butter and the Tilt-a-Whirl) and choices in between.

Count down the days 'til Christmas with a pint in hand.
The weekend looms large with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day overshadowing most other food and drink events in South Florida. Speaking of Christmas Day, you may still be able to score a reservation for a South Florida restaurant open on Christmas if you act fast. Word to the wise: Christmas Day is a dicey time to "wing it" so, seriously, act now if you want to secure a spot.

Beer fans are in luck this week, as several tap takeovers are scheduled in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Additionally, Organic Brewery in Hollywood opened over the weekend adding another option for locally crafted beer.
