Sometimes, Mother Nature creates genetic specimens so perfect that “Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?” isn’t a pick-up line; it’s just a valid question. Such is the case with Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry and heartthrob Morris Chestnut in their newest flick, The Call. The dazzling duo costars in…
In most major cities (Miami excluded, of course), there are plenty of public transportation options. And with train stations come art, music, and hoards o’ hipsters. Think of New York City subway tunnels on any given evening. Last weekend, the Purple Line pop-up transit station showed Miami what our city…
Give a warm South Beach welcome to Charles St., the newest (and possibly most affordable) addition to Collins Avenue. The 70-seat, New York-inspired eatery officially opens this morning on the ground floor of the Boulan South Beach. It offers classic American fare with an international twist, specialty cocktails, and an…
Hello Monday, you rat bastard. Thanks to daylight saving time, your unwelcome arrival came an hour early this week. That’s one less hour to recover from Saturday night’s hangover and prepare ourselves for five days of drudgery. Boo. Luckily, St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and there’s a…
The Sony Open Tennis tourney hits Key Biscayne in just a couple of weeks, and let’s be real: It’s as much about booze as it is about balls. So it’s appropriate that the folks behind the big match have been hosting a series of happy hours, teaching attendees to make…
It used to be that downtown’s most exciting option at noon was lunch at Jimmy John’s. But the arts and culture scene in city center is rapidly expanding, and with it comes far more enticing opportunities. Most recently, as part of the Downtown Development Authority’s (DDA) DWNTWN Art Window ,…
With its chill atmosphere, killer music, and stiff drinks, it’s not like you need yet another reason to imbibe at Miami’s oldest (and arguably most charming) dive bar. But here’s one anyway: For $20, you can toss a few back, listen to live tunes, and feel morally upright about your…
It’s official, the third Miami outpost of World of Beer is making its way to midtown. The Tampa-based brew lover’s paradise will be throwing open its doors this April. It’s only been a year since the Dadeland location started tapping kegs and screening sports — and less than that for…
Since the Super Bowl, pop-culture chatter has essentially revolved around Beyoncé — her HBO special, her world tour, her GQ cover. But let’s not forget about the other members of Destiny’s Child — especially the one who’s starring in a Broadway show, planning a new reality TV show, and dealing…
Move over, Bethenny Frankel, and take your Skinny Girl swill with you. There’s a tastier, stronger low-cal cocktail company in town. And P.S.: The makers are better-looking than you too. The dudes at Miami Cocktail Company are now plying the 305 with their zero-sugar, zero-carb, 99.9 percent natural piña colada…
For true chocoholics, convenience-store candy is a sad substitute for the real deal. Forcing chocolate aficionados to subsist on Snickers and Hershey bars is like asking a beer snob to stick with PBR. Luckily, the Miami Fine Chocolate & Food Show is about to bring the best and brightest in…
Too old for spring break? No such thing. The days of shotgunning, beer pong, and funnels might be behind you, but we’ve all gotta let out our inner frat-boy rage once in a while. Besides, with Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to flex those chugging muscles…
You don’t need New Times to tell you that Miami’s public transit sucks. Every South Floridian is well aware of this nasty bit of business, from bicyclists nearly mowed down by desperate drivers to cocktail waitresses forced to take two-hour bus rides to work. But instead of endlessly petitioning city…
With our fast-paced, stress-inducing, materialistic Miami lifestyles, we could all use a little more new-age influence in our lives. Om, namaste, you get the picture. Lucky for us, the Artecology Festival is about to bring some good vibes to our sunny shores. This Saturday, Miamians can embrace inner peace, yoga…
Animal lovers, March is the time to haul ass to RA Sushi in South Miami, where the purchase of a mouthwatering roll means helping homeless pets. And what’s worthier than adorable puppies and cutie-pie kittens? Last month, Short Order’s Laine Doss took home top prize in RA’s Foodies Show Heart…
Good news, Bible thumpers. Noah’s Ark is about to make an appearance. And in Hialeah, no less. A group of Christian devotees is building a 500-foot, full-scale replica of Noah’s boat. Why? To rescue animals and grow fruits and veggies, natch. So if a tsunami arrives, there’s at least one…
For the chain-weary eaters of South Miami, Kendall, and beyond, pork belly, fried pickles, and black-and-blue burgers are finally on their way. A new slow-food, craft-beer-focused gastropub is about to open its pork-peddling doors down south. Barley & Swine is the pet project of Jorge Ramos, his father (also Jorge),…
Beginning tomorrow, fast-food fanatics can get their hands on the hotly anticipated Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos, courtesy of Taco Bell. Just ask and ye shall receive. In response to apparently insane demand, the company announced via its Facebook page that it’s rolling out the new treats a day earlier…
If you’re not a fan of melty, golden, cheesy goodness pressed between two slices of toasty bread, you’re probably not human. So why are you reading a food blog, android freak? This widespread love for the classic childhood sammie means Miaimians should be stoked for the Daily Melt, the newest…
Forget everything you think you know about the history of our sunny state — ’cause it’s all a bunch of bullsh*t. What lies beneath the pristine beaches, sweeping mansions, and roller coasters is a whole lot darker. That’s the premise behind former journalist and author TD Allman’s new book, Finding…
St. Paddy’s Day is around the corner, and we’re so over the same tired traditions that get trotted out every year. Green beer, corned beef and cabbage, shamrock shakes, yadda-yadda-yadda. Where’s the originality? This year, think outside the boozy box and delight your alcoholic friends with these epic Irish Car…
Another weekend has come and gone, and it’s time to put away the party pants and pull out the big boy trousers in preparation for another work week. So long, red Solo cups; hello, coffee mugs. So pour yourself a cup of joe and check out our round up of…
