Sure, riding your rusty 10-speed through Miami can be cool, but try sitting behind the wheel of a tricked-out Mitsubishi floating on a cloud of neon lights, blasting more bass than a Sunday night at Opium. Now that’s a ride that will get the old heart pumping. Unfortunately your Huffy…
Yeah, you’ve been sitting on your ass all day at work, but by the time the clock strikes 5, you’re in need of some serious R&R. It must be all of those trips to the vending machine, the MySpace page building, and the long hours gossiping on the phone. Sounds…
Our national parks are protected from the intrusion of bulldozers as much for the benefit of the indigenous plants and wildlife as for the enjoyment of all who wish to frolic upon the grounds. But those good intentions are worthless when cans, condoms, and contraband litter these oases. The National…
Let us school you on one fact: Tipsy-dialing can be kind of sexy, because you’re just a little bolder and slightly more confident than your sober self. But once you’ve crossed that “drunk” threshold, the call becomes plagued with tears and screams. Not so sexy. Let us walk you through…
It’s been up and running since November 9, but have you visited the house that Casa Décor built yet? Well it’s not a house so much as a parking garage transformed into an interior design Shangri-La. This year’s exhibition includes outdoor installations, too, one in the form of the Cointreau…
You might have noticed the huge white balloon coasting above the Biscayne Bay shoreline and wondered, Is it a bird? Or a plane? No, dummy, it’s the Miami Skylift. And though we bet you’ve been high plenty of times when you’ve seen Miami, now the Skylift is here to show…
As a child, you had an affinity for dolls — whether Barbie or G.I. Joe – that was encouraged and accepted. As an adult, not so much. But it’s totally cool for anyone to love Pablo Cano’s life-size marionettes and rod puppets made from found objects, which include fanciful creations…

This morning the sound of Daft Punk blaring from your clock radio jerked you from a blissful state. You felt a draft swirling over your body, looked down, and found your bed sheets torn to shreds. At first you thought your booty call had somehow transformed into Edward Scissorhands, but…
After a few lemon drop shots, you might think you’re the funniest thing since the 2000 election, and your equally drunk friends just may agree. But we’re here to tell you the awful truth: You’re awful. To see comedy at its finest, take your corny ass to the Miami Improv…
The sky is pitch-black at 5:30 p.m., that damn writers’ strike has plunged your favorite TV show into reruns already, and your Christmas budget looks like the dollar menu at McDonald’s. We understand if you have a case of the blues. And we don’t expect you to be happy even…
So you say you wanna be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment business? You want the outrageous houses and cars you see on MTV’s Cribs, you want to rock diamonds bigger than your earlobe, and most of all you want your innermost thoughts laid on wax, film…
For the past 365 days, you’ve been plotting on Aunt Jean’s cranberry stuffing and framing up your attack on Mom’s candied yams. Last night you cased the family kitchen, searching for some wayward morsel or a casserole corner that wouldn’t reveal your culinary burglary. But no luck; the fridge is…
So you and your honey have carved butt-prints into the couch from rampant DVD-watching, and all of the polyester-vest-wearing teens at your local megaplex know you by “large Coke Icee, pack of Twizzlers, and extra-buttery popcorn.” We think it might be time for you two to get a new hobby,…
When your mom told you that your singing voice is painfully off key, you just assumed she didn’t want to lose her baby in a corrupt world of fame and fortune. Then you went on American Idol and heard the producers tell you they loved you, only to later find…

One day in January 1981, a light dusting of snow fell on Miami. The bizarre weather wasn’t significant enough to affect the city in any major way, but it was just enough to give each resident the bragging rights to a South Florida anomaly — a white winter. And just…
You’ve seen the sign: No shirt, no shoes, no service. But each Friday at the Mandarin Oriental, they get a little tolerant of the “no shoes” part. Well, not the whole hotel — don’t tell them we told you to walk unshod through the gorgeous lobby. Only at the Moroccan-theme…
In the years leading up to your senior prom, you imagined it would be a magical night of balloon arches and corsage/cummerbund coalescence. Instead it was a Cisco-induced blur that ended with your mom’s station wagon reeking of vomit. But tonight at Sweat Records’ Eighties Prom, you’ll have a chance…
If you pay attention to pop culture’s portrayal of love in Miami Beach, you would think it’s all about sex, drugs, and models. It isn’t? Apparently not, because the Miami Design Preservation League has been screening a whole film series, called Square Pegs in Round Holes, that focuses on characters…
Today’s the day to Febreze the spicy scent of mothballs out of your charmed number 23 jersey and pull your lucky sweatband out of its frosted glass case. Burger King’s Kings of the Court 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament is coming to Miami. Forget American Idol — you’ve been waiting all your…
