The Ten Best Things to Do This Weekend in Miami

In the immortal words of Loverboy, "Everybody's working for the weekend. Everybody wants a new romance." And, yes, everybody does -- indeed -- need a second chance. This weekend, Miami fulfills Loverboy's always-relevant weekend needs: a chocolate festival for romance, the poetry of T.I., and laughs from nationally recognized comedians. Even sci-fi geeks can get in on the action.

Happy weekend, Miami. You've earned it.
