Weekend Events Include a Valentine's Day Cabaret and a 'Situation' in Atlantic City

It’s Thursday. It's winter. And you have no idea what you’ll do for the weekend. Here are a few picks to break your cabin fever.

1.

Where/When: 7:15 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12 at the Hughes Performing Arts Center at Ocean City High School

Why Go: Remember, guys: 1) Valentine's Day is Monday, and 2) football season's over. Make up for some of your sins. See also: "."

Pricing: $12 (advance) to $18 includes dessert reception

2. SANDI POINTE COASTAL BISTRO

Where/When: Open daily at 908 Shore Rd., Somers Point

Why Go: If you haven't tried the old Mac's Restaurant in a while, you need to know that the landmark has officially left the time warp. It's the first stop over the bridge on Shore Road and it has a new name, new decor, new menu and a new feel. Catch the Melanie Rice Quartet 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12, as part of the Somers Point Jazz Society's winter series.

Pricing: Typical entrees are in the $20 to $30 range.

3. THE PLATTERS

Where/When: 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 13 at the Middle Township Performing Arts Center, 212 Bayberry Dr., Cape May Court House

Why Go: Why not a little doo wop on a winter afternoon?

Pricing: $25 in advance, $30 at the door

4. THE SITUATION

Where/When: 9 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Saturday at The Pool at Harrah's in Atlantic City

Why Go: Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino of Jersey Shore fame hosts a party with an array of entertainers. If you haven't seen the spectacle of vanity and excess that is "The Pool," the venue will be in rare form on Friday.

Pricing: Online tickets are no longer available. Check the box office for price and availability.

5. AN EVENING OF ROMANCE AND RENEWAL

Where/When: 7 to 10 p.m. Feb. 14 at Absecon Lighthouse, Pacific and Rhode Island avenues, Atlantic City

Why Go: OK, if you're really bored on Valentine's Day, why not climb a lighthouse, nibble aphrodisiacs along the way, make out at the top and then get remarried (to the same person). We wouldn't make this up—that's the Feb. 14 promotion being planned at the lighthouse, complete with minister on hand.

Pricing: $125 per couple
