Monday: Hey, all you Argentina-philes. Both of you. Española Way's Tapas & Tintos offers complimentary tango lessons every Monday night, but you should probably shell out for some sangria.

Tuesday: We know, we know. Only in Miami is it newsworthy that you can show up to a bar and not have to pay for the honor of imbibing there. But here's another free bar night: Laidback and Local at Purdy Lounge, hosted by Jared Esdale.

Wednesday: Put a little art in your hump day with a visit to the "Operation Beefeater: Of Man and His Nature" exhibit at Pan American Art Projects.

Thursday: It's the third Thursday of the month, so that means you get in free at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, where the new "Crime in Miami"exhibit will make you suspicious of your neighbors.

Friday: REVMiami holds its one-year anniversary party at

the White Room. The lineup includes Astari Nite and Radioboxer as well

as a host of other local faves, and you can see them all for free.
