Please Forgive Us Ray Finkle at Kush Hialeah
Kush Hialeah will host its annual pre-Super Bowl party, entitled, "Please Forgive Us Ray Finkle" — an homage to the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, which was shot in Miami. In the film, the Dolphins' team mascot and players, including Dan Marino, are abducted by a crazy former player, Ray Finkle, who blames Marino for the downfall of his career. This Saturday, Kush will honor Finkle in hopes of reversing the curse the fictional character has laid upon Fins fans. Expect a Hialeah-style tailgate with dominos, cornhole, inflatable dolphins, DJ performances, and food and drink specials (including a special rum drink), plus a re-creation of Ray Finkle's bedroom. A portion of Brugal Rum cocktail sales will benefit the local Dolphin Research Center. Noon Saturday, February 12, at Kush Hialeah, 1000 E.16th St., Hialeah; kushhospitality.com. RSVP via eventbrite.com.
