Miami is at war with the Aedes aegpyti mosquito. Though minuscule, the tiny, zebra-striped bug is wreaking havoc on the area's economy through the Zika virus. Government officials have declared an all-out assault on the blood-suckers, but the county's first line of defense — the much-debated pesticide naled — may not be...
This Friday night will be a busy one in Miami, to say the least. There are a minimum of ten shows running all throughout the city at one point or another. However, the absolute can’t miss of the bunch is Heavy Drag at Gramps inside Shirley's Theatre at 9 p.m...
Growing up in Trinidad, Johanne Rahaman didn't realize she was poor. "It was idyllic," she says. "I had all these friends whose homes I would just walk into. If we didn't have food, I could go to my neighbor's house, and their parents or grandparents would feed me." As a...

Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge is a film at war with itself. Which makes perfect sense, because it’s about a man at war with himself, and I’m pretty sure it was also made by a man at war with himself. The true-life story of Desmond Doss — a Seventh Day Adventist...
Thursday Firing up the caja china, setting the menorah ablaze, or maybe just getting lit with your out-of-town cousins — these are hot holiday traditions that we Americans hold dear. But like adding another glass of Manischewitz to your dreidel spinning, Americans are always open to new traditions, especially ones...
Aisholpan Nurgaiv has never met this eagle she’s posing with — borrowed from a local animal wrangler — on a balcony at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. In 90-degree heat, she’s a 15-year-old girl sweating in her Mongolian winter clothes, including a hat made from the first fox she...
Natasha Joseph’s almond-shaped eyes brim with tears as she cradles her pregnant belly and recounts the horror of her journey to the United States. There were the dust-choked buses, the corrupt cops, and the thieving coyotes. Some stretches of Central America were so perilous that walking in the dead of night was the only option.

Last Wednesday, Sept. 14, the craft doughnut shop took home first place on the Cooking Channel's Sugar Showdown. This weekend, their winning doughnut will be...
The Amazon series Good Girls Revolt, centered on a landmark 1970 gender discrimination case at Newsweek, is the kind of period drama that’s more interested in commenting on the present than recreating the past.

When Relativity Media — the production company/distributor behind Masterminds, the newest vehicle for Zach Galifianakis to do his painfully committed schtick — started getting press, co-founder/co-CEO Ryan Kavanaugh boasted of his secret sauce for success. A proprietary risk-evaluation algorithm that crunched variables like cast, release date, relative examples in the...
Hurricane Matthew will almost certainly crawl up Florida's eastern coastline as — at least — a Category 3 storm this weekend. The National Hurricane Center confirmed this yet again in its 5 p.m. update today, which keeps Miami-Dade under a tropical storm warning and most of the state north of...
You'll hear lots of F-words if you spend enough time in Miami. The first one that comes to mind is a colorful expletive often hurled at motorists dangerously cutting you off on the Dolphin Expressway. But there's also a less common but far more powerful F-word, one that Miamians need...
We sent our writer to Red Bull's Art Basel party, 12 Hours of NAAFI. It was one of the week's most anticipated events, a marathon jammed with some pristine up-and-coming talent in one of the trendiest spots in one of Miami's trendiest neighborhoods. Armed with nothing more than...
