It’s easy to mock the world of professional modeling from behind the comfort of our laptop screens and the forgiving waistbands of PajamaJeans. (Pass that bag of Late Night All Nighter Cheeseburger Doritos, please.) But every day, professional clothes hangers, we mean models, must face grueling denial, physical fatigue, and…
Snoop Dogg at Club Cinema March 11
Five South Florida bands play SXSW
There’s nothing we could add to the Charlie Sheen internet chatter that hasn’t already been said. However, it was only a matter of time before the first rap song dropped using the phrase “on that Charlie Sheen.” So who was to answer the clarion call first? Turns out it was…
The Death SetThe VagabondFriday, March 4, 2011 Better Than: Drinking to the usual indie-dance playlist going on in the other room of the club.The 50-odd people who managed to wander in to the Vagabond’s main dance floor area last night for the Death Set’s performance got a fast, furious half-hour…
A couple weeks back, we introduced you to Francesca Lacuesta and and Mark Jennings, proprietors of the upcoming Mac’n Vegetarian Soul Food Truck. It’ll be the first totally meatless truck to hit the local mobile food scene. And with most menu items also available in vegan, and even vegan gluten-free,…
Adam Carolla is an entertaining radio and talk show host. His professional past, from Loveline, through The Man Show, and all the way up to his current, enormously popular podcast, is testament to that. In all of these projects, he’s shown serious on-the-fly wit, doing his best when paired with…
Our earlier post about the Redland flea market was devoted to its outdoor food court — but the second big centerpiece of the place is its massive farmers market. No, this isn’t the kind of pristine, cutesy “farmers market” that sells cupcakes and boasts signs with clever graphic design. This,…
You can easily while away most of a weekend day at Redland Market Village Bargain Town, which is located at the intersection of South Dixie Highway and SW 244th Street. The name, perhaps, sums up the many functions of the indoor/outdoor complex. Yes, it sprawls to nearly the size of…
South Beach has a whole weekend devoted to celebrating its Art Deco architecture. But, damn it, the little strip of mainland just across the causeway needs love for its buildings too. The Upper Eastside is pretty much the only place in the world where you can find a concentration of…
Young Circles at Grand Central March 5
Kid Rock at Hard Rock Live March 8
What’s your idea of the good life? Is it a sprawling private event held in something called “the Sparkle Ballroom” in a glamorous over-the-top Miami Beach resort? Is it top-rated bottles of rare, aged grapes all silently glistening, clamoring to fill a complimentary Riedel glass hanging from a nifty cord…

First, they were Stonefox, a three-piece kicking ass around South Florida with an amped-up brand of swamp rock that was precociously sharp for these parts. Then they added a fourth member, kind of broke up, and regrouped again as a three-piece called Blond Fuzz, playing more of the same. That…
When we checked in with new Coral Gables restaurant Route 9 a few weeks ago, before it officially opened, owners Jeremy and Paola Goldberg promised full dinner, lunch, and weekend brunch service upon opening. Befitting the independent, casual neighborhood feel of the place, Route 9 opened last week with little…
Francesca Lacuesta, a 28-year-old, full-time student, dedicated yogi, and vegan, has a dream: to get Miami’s first all-vegetarian food truck on the road. She’s almost there. She hopes to get her Mac’n Food Truck rolling by March, but with limited time and financial resources, it’s been an uphill battle…
More than anything, local fans of groovy global sounds probably know Toto Gonzalez (AKA Mr. Pauer) for his behind-the-scenes activities. After founding the Fabrikalink newsletter and promotions arm more than a decade ago, he’s served as a curator for all kinds of multilingual and interesting happening in Miami. And as…
Dinnertime food truck round-ups are awesome for the indecisive among us — especially as they continue to swell in size. Still, the only thing missing from the city’s local food-truck scene is a regular circuit of late-night party munchies. The Electric Pickle-loving Montaco aside, it’s hard to find mobile snacks…
Endless nostalgia has drilled into our collective heads that the ’60s and ’70s were times of rapid change for music. But often overlooked, though, is that similar upheavals of style and form were going on across all of the arts — even dance. Among those leading the charge for the…
For all of Miami’s sun and sea-loving culture, the waves of the Atlantic remain calm as they lap at our sandy shores. Want to surf? Yeah, you’ll have to drive to Central Florida for that. So if the paddle-out culture still holds a certain allure for you, head to Museum…
