Miami Spice is a win-win for everyone: Restaurants get to salvage their dwindling summer revenue, and locals get to check out restaurants they would’ve normally never visited — mostly, because many of these places are expensive. Serafina, the Miami outpost of the small New York City chain favorited by celebs…
On Thursday, August 1, people from all over South Florida will gather for one of the best food and drink events ever: Miami New Times’ Iron Fork. If you haven’t heard already, this year it’s even bigger and better, since we’re partnering with Miami Spice for a kickoff party. But…
The rain lately has really put a damper on the usual Miami life. The morning monsoons and rush-hour flooding is truly too much to deal with. Last night, we drove downtown and strongly considered turning the car around to go back home and pick up the ol’ kayak. What gives?…
After doing a little bit of research for this week’s weekend guide, we came to the startling realization that America has been doing it all wrong. See, because in Brazil, there is an entire pageant show for the ladies with more butt than they know what to do with. You…
“I cried when my parents died. I cried when my children were born. The only other time outside of that, that I cried, was when I passed this exam,” says an American Master Sommelier on camera. Somm, a documentary, takes you into the lives of four men who will literally…
Mango season is here, and it’s time to pick up any homeless ones and give them a good home — in your belly. We’re partial to smoothies. But if Miami’s favorite fruit is not your cup of tea, there’s plenty more to do this weekend for lovers of food and…
Do you love Short Order? Do you wake up with us every morning and fall asleep with us every night? We don’t blame you. We’re kind of sort of awesome. But you’re, like, 90 percent of that undeniable greatness. As a thank-you for your love and loyalty, we’re offering up…
The summer’s biggest gastronomic gathering is less than a month away. Miami New Times’ Iron Fork and the Miami Spice Kick Off will take place on August 1 at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. Guests of the culinary soiree will watch chefs Jamie DeRosa of Tongue &…
In a world where plastic surgery is as easy as running to your nearest Whole Foods and picking up a quart of milk, we have one thing to say: America, girl, you are looking good for 237 years. And with virtually little work done! Really, she doesn’t look a day…
America is officially 237 years old, and homegirl looks better than all of us. While Miami is pumped full of silicone and Botox, skin stretched like crime scene tape, butt so big she needs a cement truck just to get outside, the good old U.S. of A. is aging gracefully…
Umami Burger’s newest outpost, the convenient locale on Alton Road, is getting ready to whip out an old favorite to the menu — and it’s like music to our ears. Singer-songwriter Mayer Hawthorne, in partnership with the Umami family, is relaunching his fancified burger item, “The Hawthorne.” The Hawthorne comes…
You know it’s summertime in Miami when the city’s block parties clash with huge barbecues. A battle of epic proportions will go down this weekend and we’re here to referee the teams. Believe it or not, we will get the choice between not one but two Miami food-centric parties this…
You know what Miami really likes? Boobs. Big ones. The kind that just pop out and are all Hey! We’re here! So it’s only befitting to say that this weekend in particular is a little… top heavy. That’s right. Most of this weekend’s ongoings are happening tonight — so hopefully…
Miami bikers will take to the streets en masse this Friday for a crazy route that will stretch 20 miles across Miami-Dade County. Beginning at the Miami-Dade Government Center, the ride will take bikers up through the Upper Eastside, across to Miami Beach via the JFK Causeway, down Indian Creek…
Are you awake? Probably not. Last night’s mega-galactic Heat win against the San Antonio Spurs reminded us that high-stress activities (like sitting in front of the TV set, you see) is dangerous for our health. Naturally, we waited for another Chris Bosh celebratory champagne facial after the game. If it…
In Kanye fashion, IMMA LET CHU FINISH, AMERICA, but we just won our second back-to-back NBA Championship. So give us a minute. If you live anywhere between Key West and Palm Beach County and have a pulse, chances are you were among the thousands of people celebrating along the streets…
In case you’ve been living under a rock the last few days, we want to spread the good news: Best of Miami 2013 is out. That means that in newsstands all over Miami-Dade County, you have Miami Bibles to pick up. Think of them as the ultimate guide to eating…
This is a really big weekend for us, Miami. Actually, we take that back. It’s been a huge week for us, and it’s going to be an even bigger weekend for you. Best of Miami dropped live on the Web on Tuesday. The print issues hit stands on Thursday. Our…
It’s not often a man gets a day in his name. But today, we celebrate a man of booze and ink. Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins would’ve turned 102 years-old this year — and to commemorate his long, fruitful life, Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, Sandbar Grill and Blackbird Ordinary are celebrating with…
Tonight, the Pubbelly clan will launch an unbeatable summer dinner and brunch menu at Pubbelly and its beef-centric sister restaurant, PB Steak, around the corner. Designed to coincide with Miami Spice (even though Spice won’t begin till August 1), the $35-per-person menu offers nine dishes to share. That’s about seven…
So much for that storm, Andrea. You built up some hype, and then failed to deliver. What did you do to the 305? Nada. Niente. Psh. You called yourself a storm. In other news, the Heat lost last night, but we haven’t lost hope. I mean, it kind of sucks…
Is it safe to say that Tropical Storm Andrea was a real pisser for those of us in Dade County? Here we were thinking there would, at the very least, be downpours overnight, maybe a little flash flooding, a power flicker or two. But, no. Nothing. The only thing that…
