Listen, people: If there's one thing we know about you, it's that you have an opinion. And you live in Miami, so you're not shy about sharing it. Do you think Afrobeta is a better band than Jacuzzi Boys? Does the Abbey sling tastier drinks than the Broken Shaker? Do...
As the Senate wrangles over a compromise immigration reform bill -- pushed in large part by our own Marco Rubio -- a new poll suggests a huge majority of Floridians are eager to see any path to citizenship opened for immigrants. The poll finds 71 percent of Floridians back the...
You'll find most commercial kitchens as clean and organized as a military barracks. But there are always exceptions to the rule. The dining public rarely sees what lurks behind that swinging door. New York City has implemented a unique rating system in which every restaurant -- large or small --...

We get it, Department of Justice. You've been pretty busy, between going after Apple for its criminal eBooks and spending $58 million on really important junkets and all. But it's pushing two-and-a-half years since then-Miami Police Chief Miguel Exposito called his cops "predators" on camera and instituted new policies that...
What came first, the pig or Porcao? The iconic Brazilian steakhouse that offered endless amounts of meat and animal parts for a $43 price tag, not to mention salad, pasta, and appetizer bars was a Magic City staple for more than a decade. From ambiance -- it was located at...
On a scalding Saturday afternoon, nearly a dozen Miami Beach Police cars are jammed up on the lawns of a shady residential street near Mount Sinai Hospital. Cops lean against their cruisers as a mangy group of about 20 protesters spills out onto the overgrown lawn before a white, single-story...
