  • Live At The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

    So your Riptide was at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show "Bloggers Lounge" earlier at the refurbished Fontainebleau hotel. Bloggers lounges are a new frontier of blogging activity, but the ahi tuna, and the crème brûlée and the open bar, oh the open bar, made it very, very worth it. We may have been the only person we knew at this bloggers party, and the only blogger carded, but Riptide from now on supports bloggers lounges at every event ever under the condition that there is an open bar.

  • Rumor Mill: Cameo Still Open, Parkwest Shuts Down in Order to Get Trashy

    Is this you, Trash?Despite the bad economy, the city is buzzing with rumors about nightclubs opening and closing. There is already a deathlist circulating of mostly South Beach clubs that soon will be shutting their doors due to poor sales. We aren't going to mention names, but any place that is relying heavily on bottle service these days should be afraid.But the biggest news is the rumors about Cameo and Parkwest, both which are owned by Louis Puig (owner of Space). Rumors that Cameo shut down

  • Real Housewives of Miami?

    I don't know how Bravo is ever going to top Real Housewives of New Jersey. How do you do one better than a show that climaxes with a forehead-challenged Italian woman shouting, "You were stripping! Prostitution whore! You were fucking engaged 19 times! You fucking stupid bitch! Coming! To my! Dinner Party!!!?"

  • Miami Gets Its Very Own Eater

    ​Good news Miami! Food site Eater has deemed us worthy enough of our very own section on its site. Helmed by Miami Herald gossip columnist Lesley Abravanel, the Miami section of Eater is sure to keep us in the loop of the Magic City's foodie scene. Plenty of local blogs have also gotten some link love including Food For Thought, Mango & Lime and, of course, Short Order. In fact, critic Lee Klein is even has his own tag. But what does Eater mean for Miami? Who better to answer that question

  • Catching Up: Hello Eater Miami, Vidal at Soleá, and Beaujolais; Goodbye Bancroft

    ​Eater GreeterWhile I was away, Lesley Abravanel and Eater Miami gracefully traipsed into our incestuous little food blog world. So far it has been an interesting and visually arresting blog, a bit of original snark sandwiched between the sort of local linking that South Florida Menu Pages Blog used to do. South Florida Menu Pages Blog of course closed down some time ago due to a stupifyingly poor name. Eater Miami is a lot catchier, and allow me to be the last to welcome it and Ms. Abravanel
