what's going on tonight?

Lots of options for Thursday night partiers. I especially recommend the cocktail tasting party at Flip Flops, 1111 Broadway. It's 5-9 p.m. For $20, you can sample more than 30 drinks. Food is included, too.

There's also a martini tasting at Belloo's, 900 Front Ave. You'll sample five mini martinis. It lasts all night and costs $20 for individuals, $35 for couples. Steve McRay entertains.
