National Oysters on the Half Shell Day at Devon Seafood + Steak
Need an excuse to throw back some oysters this week? There's a food holiday for that. On March 31, a.k.a. National Oysters on the Half Shell Day, Devon Seafood + Steak will offer oysters selected by executive chef Rod Chitikov at an exclusive price during happy hour (4-8 p.m.); dig in to standout options from the East and West Coast, like Naked Cowboy and Beau Soleil. 11715 Sherri Ln., Kendall, 305-275-0226
Prescription Happy Hour at Drawing Room
We all wish cocktails could cure more than our post-work distress, and the Drawing Room's cocktail chef Albert Trummer is taking us one step closer to that reality. Earlier this month, the lobby bar and lounge at the Shelborne Wyndham Grand launched Prescription Hour on weekdays; from 5-7 p.m. Trummer is on hand to "diagnose" you and write a prescription for one of his cocktails, like the Shooting Star or the James Bond Melonball, available at special prices. 1801 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-531-1271
