Chrismukkah Chinese Takeout Pop-Up at the Broken Shaker. One of Miami’s party hot spots is taking a surprisingly low-key approach to its holiday celebration. The folks at the Broken Shaker are keeping it inclusive with a “Chrismukkah” celebration. They know that once the presents are opened, you spend the rest of the day watching movies on the couch, so they’re getting you out of the house with Chinese food by Chef Jimmy, who will serve a special menu that includes local smoked fish/coconut fried rice and apple-pie wontons. 6 p.m. Monday, December 25, at the Broken Shaker at Freehand Miami, 2727 Indian Creek Dr., Miami Beach; 305-531-2727; freehandhotels.com.
