Everything looks better from the deck of a $40 million yacht, art included. That’s the brilliance of Seafair, a now nearly permanent-exhibition space docked at Bayfront Park.

Sorry, Miamians. Your Fundays on SoBe are over. Unless you wanna pay a $50 (or more) fine, the city expects you to leave the booze, soda cans, and Styrofoam coolers at home. According to code enforcement officers, all of the above are illegal on the sands of Miami Beach. Didn’t…
Katrina Bowden is one of those girls who make other women feel like they lost big in the genetic lottery. Her turn as the clueless, sexy Cerie on arguably the world’s most underrated sitcom, 30 Rock, left men drooling and women green with envy. Since 30 Rock ended, Katrina has…
If you’ve made it to work today, we salute you. The gods played a cruel joke on mankind this year, allowing St. Patrick’s Day to fall on a Sunday. Not to mention pairing it with Ultra madness and spring break festivities. So yeah, if you didn’t call in sick, you’re…
Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day like shots of Jamo, aka Jameson, Ireland’s (and America’s) favorite whiskey. This popular spirit is all over the place for this weekend’s festivities, from its key role in Irish Car Bombs to pairings with pickle juice. But if you wanna get a little more creative…
After Miami’s own Richard Blanco took the podium at Obama’s inauguration earlier this year, our pretty city definitely scored itself a little more cred when it comes to the written word. Lucky for those of us who are into literature, after a one-year absence, the O, Miami Poetry Festival is…
A couple of weeks ago, the Daily Melt began serving melty cheese concoctions and savory soups to the folks in midtown. The concept is simple — and superb. After all, regardless of age, race, or income, grilled cheese is everyman’s sammie. Yesterday, Short Order stopped by for lunch to try…
Admit it — you’ve spent many a night glued to your Xbox, playing Dead Rising and fantasizing about saving the city from a zombie apocalypse. Who hasn’t? Sadly, real life is rarely as exciting as Zombieland (although, with our resident face-eaters, Miami is about as close as it gets). But…
Bar Lab’s Elad Zvi and Gabriel Orta are Miami’s undisputed kings of mixology. And unsurprisingly, liquor leaders like these two have a roster of talented friends. This Monday, you’ll be lucky enough to meet a pair of them — and get drunker by association. For a couple of hours, local…

The days when our dads hid in the garage drinking Budweiser and getting their bromances on are over. Brews aren’t just a man’s game anymore. The emergence of women’s tasting groups, such as Miami’s Craft Brewjas, is proof positive that chicks definitely dig beer too. And now, with the launch…
It’s no secret that Miami’s not the most bike-friendly metropolis. But hell, at least we’re trying. In addition to the many bike collectives and advocacy groups popping up around town, the city itself has now jumped on the green transit bandwagon. Last week, Miami-Dade County rolled out the BIKE305 initiative,…
The days leading up to St. Paddy’s Day are a free-for-all when it comes to boozy beverages. And frankly, the Jameson gets old after awhile. Luckily, there are other ways to enjoy your favorite Irish bevvies besides via shot glass. The folks at Brickell’s Fado Irish Pub were nice enough…
