As we close out the last week in January, everyone in Miami is planning something special. Whether you’re planning on jamming your weekend with action-packed days, planning your days off around what you’re eating or making your debut during the night, the city has plenty to choose from. Here’s our haute picks of how to spend your weekend:

FRIDAY

FEAST AND WELCOME IN THE CHINESE NEW YEAR by snagging a table at one of Miami’s favorite restaurants offering specially-curated, delectable feasts to ring in the year of the Rooster in authentic Chinese style. We recommend the Fontainebleau’s Hakkasan, TALDE, La Mar or MO Bar + Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental or the swanky new EAST, Miami Hotel’s rooftop bar, Sugar, for an amazing lineup of food, drinks and special entertainment.

MIAMI CITY BALLET hosts its annual gala at the Faena Forum, marking the first-ever gala to occur at the brand-new, opulent event space, as it is transformed into a frozen winter wonderland for the occasion.
