Youre a broke but hip downtowner and you want to party during Art Basel Miami. No problem, bro. Just visit O.H.W.O.W.s elaborate 20th-anniversary re-creation of the legendary NYC bar Max Fish, running Wednesday through Sunday. Reviving the former PS14 space at 28 NE 14th St., Miami, the installation is the brainchild of Aaron the Downtown Don Bondaroff, Al Moran, and Max Fish owner Ulli Rimkus. Expect actual Fish bartenders and art by regulars such as Mark Gonzales, Angela Boatwright, and Tobin Yelland. Plus theres a scheduled slate of rad concerts, the best being Friday's show featuring Brooklyn bands Gang Gang Dance and Endless Boogie, not to mention local noisenik Teepee. Its almost a dream. Like Moran says, This is a bar, not a club. No cover charge and cheap drinks. Call 305-633-9345 or visit oh-wow.com.
