'SEX' AND THE STEAKHOUSE?

What's meatier than Mr. Big? Try a Brazilian churrascaria. Chima Brazilian Steakhouse in Buckhead is host to Cocktail Couture, a "Sex and the City: The Movie" bash. Bartenders pour $5 Skyy vodka cocktails named after characters. (We're hoping they serve Carrie-piranhas.) Classic episodes of the HBO series roll in the lounge. Guests nibble on free appetizers, and gift bags go to the first 50 folks. A "Sex and the City" costume contest offers gift packages from the likes of Bloomingdale's, Prriya & Chintans and others.

'SEX' AND ANOTHER STEAKHOUSE

Also on May 30, Maxim Prime follows suit. The steakhouse partnership between Maxim magazine and restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow in the Glenn Hotel shows its feminine side with a "Sex and the City: The Movie" promotional party. Skyy vodka "Sex and the City" martinis go for $8 each as guests dance on the rooftop lounge to the sounds of DJ Money Shot. Expect "Sex and the City: The Movie" swag. It's also the official after-party for designer Mychael Knight's fashion show.

KEY TO THE FIREHOUSE

On May 31, a lock and key party takes place at a former Midtown fire station that's now Spotted Dog restaurant and pub. We promise to stay away from any innuendo involving flames, brush fires or fire hoses and get to the facts. Organizers invite singles ages 21-49 to participate. Guys get a key, girls get a lock. They hunt the room for a respective match to their hardware. This promotes mingling and conversation. Once a pair makes a match, he and she turn in the lock and key, get new ones and continue the game. Each time a match is made, those players get a ticket for a cash and prize drawing. Make a lot of matches and you score lots of raffle tickets for more chances to win. And a DJ spins after the game.

• THE 411: $20-$30. 7:30 p.m. May 31. Spotted Dog, 30 North Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 770-815-4997, www.lockandkeyevents.com.

WING DING

Chicken wings and rock music go together like, well, chicken wings and rock music. The third annual Wing N' Rock Fest at Marietta Square agrees with nine hours of live jams and chicken wing munching. A batch of cover bands, including Allman Brothers tribute act Midnight Riders, will entertain diners. While kids go wild in the play area, adults can indulge in beer and bird. The latter comes from wing pros like Taco Mac, Marietta Wings and others. Wings are 75 cents each, and tickets come in books of $3, $6 and $12. A wing-eating contest takes place at 5:30 p.m., so bring plenty of napkins. The last band wraps at 10.

• THE 411: Free. 1 p.m. May 31. Marietta Square, 4 Depot St. N.E., Marietta. 770-457-8472, www.wingandrockfest.com.
