It’s Friday, it’s July, and you just want to get the hell out of work and start your weekend. We feel you. Go ahead and pull your work email up in another tab so you’ll be able to switch to it quickly and avoid getting caught planning your weekend during work hours. Your boss doesn’t need to know you’re going to a ganja festival in Wynwood or taking your dog to the movies in Coconut Grove.
Thursday In case the terrible traffic and rudeness have distracted you, here’s a reminder: The city you live in is a tropical vacation destination. And though it might be tempting to jet off to a place like New York to see some new faces, you don’t have to, because the…
We’re approaching July’s mid-point, which means we’re halfway through the summer months. For many of you you’re either just coming back from blowing your savings on a fancy vacation or trying to save pennies for an impending trip. You’ve got your priorities in order, so we’re here to help ease…
This weekend, you have several options: You can reminisce about the past with shows from Paul McCartney and Metallica and parties with Andy Rourke and ’90s R&B, or you can live in the present with local art from the MUCE Summer Series and More Light or film from up-and-comers at the Miami Independent Film Festival. Or you can say f*** it…
Thursday Maybe it’s a bit of an oddball pairing, but if you were born before 1970, you’ve probably enjoyed songs by both Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper. Whether you’re more in the “Maggie May” or the “Time After Time” camp, these legends have enough hits to keep you entertained the…
When New Times asked Laura Gasperini, Valentina Vincenzini, and Isabella Roberto – the three women behind the Miami Independent Film Festival – what the most rewarding part of running a film festival is, an uncomfortable silence fell over the table. They stared uncertainly at each other for a moment. “We…
It ain’t called the land of the free for nothing. For a society so insistent on free-market capitalism, we sure do like our complimentary goods. Maybe that explains why there’s — count ’em — four free Fourth of July parties, along with a deluge of film screenings, musical performances, and art, all at no charge.
Don’t squander the weekend before a midweek holiday. Spend it at these parties, festivals, and shows happening everywhere from Miami Beach to Wynwood to Coral Gables. We’ll see you back out there Tuesday.
If you grew up in a Cuban family, birthdays and Noche Buena always involved the maturer relatives retreating to lawn chairs and breaking out the dominoes. Whether or not the game makes any sense to you, the clacking of tiles and bursts of argument are nostalgic and,…
Another day, another dollar spent, and while you’re shelling out major clams for basic stuff like rent and a decent café con leche, you’re missing all the fun stuff. Your trust-fund friends go to concerts and watch indie films. Why don’t you? Here, find freebies from Miami Beach to Wynwood to downtown and even Fort Lauderdale, so nobody who looks at your Snapchat story needs to know you’re drowning in the fiscal responsibilities of adulthood.
For this weekend’s events, we’ve got several points on the clothing spectrum covered – from barely anything at a pool party to PG appropriate in an air conditioned science museum and anywhere in between, depending on how exposed you want to feel at Marlins Park or in downward dog. Whether or not you go all free-the-nipple on us, have fun this weekend with all the options.
Thursday Miami New Times is turning dirty 30 this year, meaning we’re just as sexy but can impart something like sagely advice on you younguns. Which is why celebrating our yearly picks for the top places, people, and things in the Magic City is especially pertinent this year. At the…
You can spend $40 getting into a packed club where you’ll spend $100 on overpriced, watered-down drinks in the hopes you might get invited to a table where you can wait for 40 minutes to maybe get a free sip from a bottle of Grey Goose after it’s been passed around by a dozen models. Or you can go see live music, mingle with local business owners, get a tarot-card reading after a crystal healing, and learn how to pickle beets like a pro, all for free.
You can’t pinpoint the exact moment it began happening. Was it when Run-D.M.C. collaborated with Aerosmith, or when “Baby Got Back” started showing up in karaoke bars? Was it closer to when J.Lo’s ass became the universal standard, or when Kanye married Kim? Either way, we now have Taylor Swift rapping…
If you’re driving west on 29th Street from North Miami Avenue, the street murals, galleries, and design shops of Wynwood abruptly give way to the body shops, warehouses, and pawn shops of Allapattah. There isn’t much difference between the two neighborhoods — both have rows of low buildings, long blocks,…
We’re set to get another steamy weekend in this tropical paradise we call home, but a little water never kept things from getting lit, right? At least not figuratively. That’s why Miami has birthday parties, pool parties, throwback parties, and Father’s Day parties to keep you on a steady diet of good vibes and alcohol till you’re forced back to normalcy Monday morning.
Flower crowns, cotton candy, and fresh R&B tunes for your slow-grind pleasure. No, it’s not a new Coachella-inspired Beyoncé track. It’s RnBae, a monthly showcase of underground R&B thrown by local artists, curators, and DJs. If you’re looking for a sweet spot to spend some romantic time with your…
You know that effortlessly fashionable friend who’s somehow always too broke to pick up the bar tab but looks like a Free People model with unlimited access to salon-quality hair products? Yeah, we can’t figure that out either. But if you’re trying to hit that sweet spot of boho-chic and bootylicious culture-crusader without sacrificing your groceries, we’re here to help. Below you’ll find events this week that will keep you seeing, eating, and grooving, even without designer funds.
Every once in a while you have to have a weekend of keeping things classy, even if it’s just to confirm for yourself that, yes, you do still crave jello shots and the occasional make-out session with a stranger. That being said, the next three days will find you being literary in Coral Gables, classical in Miami Beach, or farm-fresh all the way down in the Redlands. So lift a glass of rosé to true class, Miami – there’s always time for tequila next weekend.
Thursday Even in Miami, a city defined in part by its Cuban diaspora, we don’t have much of an idea of the contemporary culture of our sister island. That’s why shows such as “On the Horizon: Contemporary Cuban Art” can be necessary as a reminder of the cultural production constantly…
You have to get your kicks somehow, even if your recreational-drug fund was drained by your avocado-latte addiction. The struggle is real. Thankfully, there’s plenty to do this week without needing to spend a pretty penny. Behold, Miami: free events to occupy you the next seven days.
How can a three-day weekend somehow make the following week feel longer? Well, it’s over, Miami. Grab a strong drink and your glow sticks, cause we’ve got bass, lasers, and motorcycles to keep you floating through the part of the week we all live for – the weekend.
