Make a Miccousukee meal at home

Ethnic is "in" even in food and the South Floridian has a unique opportunity to taste Indian foods concocted from native Florida ingredients at the Miccosukee Tribe's Second Annual Indian Art Festival, which continues through Jan. 1 (see cover story).

When and where to replenish New Year's party punches

Though visions of sugarplums may dance in the heads of the under-18 crowd during the holiday season, spirits of quite a different nature often dance in the heads of New Year's revelers. Ushering out the old year and welcoming the new is usually accompanied by private parties, when friends gather together to lift glasses in celebration. If you're the host and the glasses need re-filling, the following outline of liquor store hours in your area, including special New Year's Eve extensions, may help you determine where to make your "run." In the city of South Miami, retail liquor stores may sell alcoholic beverages from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. the following day, Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, the hours are 1 p.m. to 2 a.m. the following day. In Miami, liquor stores are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays. On New Year's Eve, however, liquor stores may remain open until midnight. Throughout the week, grocery stores may sell beer and wine during hours they are regularly open. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday for liquor stores in unincorporated Dade County. On Sundays, you're out of luck, except for beer, which can be purchased at grocery stores during hours regularly open. On New Year's Eve, liquor store hours have been extended to midnight. In West Miami, liquor store hours are 7 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, hours are 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Retail liquor stores in Coral Gables will remain open until 2 a.m. New Year's Eve. Normal hours are 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. the following day, every day of the week. Though the police departments wish everybody a happy New Year, they also caution against mixing drinking and driving. "If you have a party, you are somewhat liable for the people that leave your party," said Dennis Koronkiewicz, public information officer for the Coral Gables Police Department. "You do have a moral and legal responsibility for your guests. I think it would be very gracious for hosts of a party to offer to pay the taxi fare or arrange for a ride, if a guest is incapable of driving."
