Sure, there are many spirits out there, but rarely do you find one with the staying power and brand recognition of Jack Daniel’s. The Tennessee whiskey, a favorite of Frank Sinatra’s (who’d famously polish off a bottle at his concerts), is celebrating its 150th birthday by taking a little vacation — to Miami.
Thanksgiving is next Thursday, and you have two choices when you want to partake of a juicy bird and all the delicious sides that go with it: Spend hundreds of dollars for groceries and lock yourself in your kitchen for several days prepping a feast, or take the family to a lovely restaurant where professionals roast the turkey to perfection.
One of the founding fathers of Miami’s cocktail scene, New York native John Lermayer forever changed the landscape of South Florida bars when he opened the Delano’s Florida Room. The place brought well-crafted libations to a town best known for neon-colored frozen blender drinks poured from a box. Since then,…
Ray Allen recently announced his official retirement from the NBA, but the king of three-pointers already has a second career with his wife Shannon. The couple opened Grown, an organic fast-casual eatery in June. Since then, the place has, well, grown — adding two locations at Hard Rock Stadium. In…
This week was a tough one for the nation. Donald Trump was elected president, and protests for his impeachment are already happening in major cities. What we need now is a hug — in the form of food. When it feels like the sky is about to fall around you, a piece of grilled fish and a kale salad just don’t feel right. The only thing that will do is a dish of mac ‘n’ cheese or a big bowl of ice cream — in other words, comfort food.
Everyone knows the Big Mac is the signature sandwich of McDonald’s. But not too many people know it has some mighty savory cousins. This Monday, November 14, Miami will be introduced to the burger’s family when the Mac Jr. and Grand Mac will launch. South Florida will be one of first regions to try these new offerings before the nationwide launch in early 2017.
This week has been a long one for Miami and the nation. We’ve elected President Trump, had our morning-after political hangover, and spent a lot of time at the water cooler asking, “What the f—-?” It’s time to forget all of this political chow-chow for a few days and enjoy. This weekend offers a ton of events — from snagging a free beer to howling at the moon to stuffing your face with hot dogs or heritage pork.
Bryan and Michael Voltaggio have announced details about their first Miami collaborative restaurant.Monger will located in Central Fare, the food hall that is part of Downtown’s MiamiCentral complex. The complex will feature retail, office, residences, and will serve as the Miami hub for the Brightline train that connects our city to Orlando.
Artistic collaborations are a beautiful thing. After all, creativity is best when it’s shared: Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and Drake and Rihanna all found that working as a team enhances the artistic process.
Early this morning, the impossible happened: Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States after running a campaign that was contentious and fraught with hate-speak. But as President Barack Obama promised yesterday — and remarked upon today — the sun did rise and we are all still here.
Today the United States selects a new president. This year, Americans were given the choice between political wonk Hillary Clinton and businessman Donald Trump in an election filled with surprises, allegations, and contention the likes of which aren’t usually seen. Miami New Times reached out to several culinary professionals about their views regarding today’s election.
Tomorrow is Election Day, which means American will finally be free of the Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton show. But seriously, if you didn’t take advantage of early voting, the polls open in Miami at 7 a.m., and you can find your polling place at miamidade.gov/elections. And to sweeten the pot…
Fall is upon us, and that means the start of a new season of events, parties, and tourists rushing to bake on our sandy beaches. Autumn in Miami also means restaurant openings. Last month saw the local dining scene heating up with more than a dozen new eateries. Of course,…
This is it…the weekend calm before the storm of election day. Since each party thinks the word will end at some time Wednesday, why not get out and enjoy life as we know it for a few more days. This weekend, have a few beers, chow on tacos, or explore…
On a recent segment of WLRN’s radio show “Restaurant Roundabout,” food writer Jen Karetnick mentioned that Michael Schwartz’s new restaurant, Fi’lia, was so hot you could actually see the reservations flying away on OpenTable. Though that sounds like an exaggeration, it’s quite true.
It’s 82 degrees out, and palm trees are swaying in a light breeze on a balmy November afternoon. In Miami, that means all thoughts are turning to Saint Nick.
In the past 50 years, Miami’s landscape and very culture have changed dramatically, but there are still bits of Old Florida if you look. One such haven is Robert Is Here, located in Homestead. More than a typical fruit stand, this piece of Americana opened in 1959, with a 6-year-old…
As we grow up, no daily meal changes as much as breakfast. Once, the morning meal was the domain of cereals that delighted us with mascots — cheeky toucans, cheerful tigers, not-so-scary monsters, and the iconic ship’s captain. Cap’n Crunch was introduced in 1963 and, with his trusty companion, Seadog…
October is a big benchmark for Miami. Cooler weather brings the first stirrings of another tourist and festival season, with the city ramping up for upcoming fetes such as Art Basel and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival.
If you think your morning commute is another humdrum slog in your life, consider detouring to Biscayne Boulevard. Today a pair of local Cuban-American artists will unveil an anti-Donald Trump mural during morning rush hour. To sweeten the deal, there’s free cafe con leche involved.
The weekend is here, and it’s time to celebrate with a proper drink. Thankfully, the art of the cocktail is alive and well in Miami.
