Boston ice cream shop Emack & Bolio’s quietly opened up a Miami outpost in South Beach inside the Sunset Harbour Shops last week. The Purdy Avenue storefront is colorful and vibrant; spaceships hanging from the ceiling; a talking moose mascot; ridiculous menu items like the midnight munchies sundae — really…
If you think eating and drinking all week is irresponsible behavior, think again. While we all might be broke, underfed, and over-stressed, taking part in any kind of food-centric events helps us come back down to earth. Hanging out with friends, sipping a fine wine, drinking a good craft, and…
With just a few days left until Miami’s best event of the year, Aaron Brooks is busily chucking away in a secret kitchen at Edge Steak & Bar — carefully formulating his master plan to win this year’s Cochon. Michelle Bernstein was queen at 2012’s pork-centric affair, but Brooks thought…
Beach High has lost its greatest “mom.” The school’s longtime principal, Rosann Sidener, lost her 13-month battle with cervical cancer this week. Students and staff are dealing with the difficult loss. Last night, more than 300 mourners showed up for a candlelight vigil on Dr. Rosann Sidener Way…
Throwing in the towel isn’t a foreign concept to most of us. If you have a high-stress job, it’s something you’ve surely considered at least once in your career. Whether you deal by soldiering on or quitting, no one will win more at life than one man who left his…
We’re not ones to scour the city looking for the world’s greatest cupcakes. We don’t even like them. But on a whim, we recently took a different route home from the office and found ourselves at NE 69th Street and Biscayne Boulevard. Most locals know the intersection for the restaurant…
We’re quite pleased that the weather has taken a turn for the better here in the 305. Last week’s miserable rain and constant drizzle made us feel like dogs. And that ain’t cute. But the balmy humidity’s back, and so is the steamy heat. Miami could not be more herself…
You know who’s in town right now? Kenny Chesney. You know who we’re gonna pounce on as soon as we see him? Kenny Chesney. There’s a slew of country music’s finest in town for the Tortuga Music Festival this weekend. Kenny Chesney’s just one of them, but with him comes…
You’d think the life of a rock star would be all bottle-popping and pretty girls. This might be the case for some, but not for the likes of Stellar Revival’s drummer, Andrew Koussevitzky. The Miami-based music man lives a simple life in a Brickell high-rise with bills, high gas prices,…
Our sister paper may have just hosted Beerfest, and you may have already gotten your fill of beer for a while. But where’s the fun in that? Brew at the Zoo is inching closer, and it’s about time you realize what you’ll miss if you skip this annual extravaganza. Do…
If you can avoid the rain this weekend, there’s a handful of things to do that would be well worth the effort. Luckily, one of the best events this weekend is a little north of Miami — Beerfest. It’s hosted by our sassy sister paper New Times Broward-Palm Beach. In…
Show of hands — how many of you didn’t get washed away by the treacherous storms last night? We’re pretty surprised we didn’t lose power, but the windows sure felt like they were gonna blow in. Oh, Miami. You’re so cute, so pretty. But, girl, when you go apeshit with…
After just a few months of business, Gelato-Go is already beginning to turn up on local radars. It’s a gelateria. So what? Miami has tons of them. “But none of these serve good gelato,” argues partner Alessandro Alvino, who knows a thing or two about gelato having grown up in…
Oh, mon dieu. Petite bites means “little dicks.” Leave it to a set of skilled brand developers to screw up and make our neighbors across the pond in France laugh hysterically at us. Those stupid Americans, they probably thought. Yep. Right they are. Because much to your likely surprise, this…
Culinary school is expensive. And for most of us, Mommy and Daddy laughed their heads off when we said we wanted to pursue a career in the industry. Rude. So we became lawyers. And bankers. And writers. Still, every now and then, we dream of what could’ve been had we…
While you’re sleepily sifting through your Facebook timeline this morning, you’re probably still seeing red human rights flags pepper the screen. It’s been the talk of every town whose folk know what’s up. The talk will for sure carry on throughout the weekend and the next few months until the…
Ever worked at a restaurant? It’s kind of the worst. Terrible hours. Crazy customers. Second-degree burns all over your hands and forearms. The restaurant industry doesn’t play around.

Ready, Miami? Ultra Music Festival, Weekend Dos, is here. More glitter! More sequins! More fur! More masks! More triangle bikinis! More boobs! More butts! So this is all kind of a big deal because Miami has never before experienced a double weekend of Ultra. Like, never. The city might explode…
In a city where food and culture are the driving forces behind nearly everyone’s daily routine, one rarely expects a shortage of things to do over the weekend. We cram food, music, and good vibes during the workweek. Why shouldn’t it spill over to Saturdays and Sundays? Days of rest…
Uhntz, uhntz, uhntz, Well, Miami, there’s not much going on this weekend. No huge music festival that draws thousands of EDM fiends from around the world. No popping mollies. No free Wi-Fi. No Snoop Lion. *Record scratch* OK, we draw the line there. We can’t NOT have Snoop Lion. That’s…
