What’s James Franco doing these days? Even if you’re not following the career of the prolific actor/writer/director/selfie-taker, you can be sure it’ll be entertaining. When he’s not parodying himself in his friends’ film projects (think This Is The End), he’s making art to display during Art Basel or mulling a…
Yinz. Pop. Stillers. Jagoff. Prepare to hear words like those if you’re hanging around Marlins Park (501 Marlins Way, Miami) this Friday. They’re from the colloquial dialect known as Pittsburghese, and they’ll be spoken throughout Little Havana when the matchup between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Miami Marlins brings out all…
Maybe he taught you how to ride a bike. Maybe he made a career out of scaring your boyfriends away. Maybe he’s the reason you have those blue eyes or that undying love for stupid puns. For all those reasons and more, your dad deserves the best this Father’s Day…
For close to two decades, if you were looking for live, local music on South Beach, you had at least one sure bet: Jazid, the hole-in-the-wall club where acts from Spam Allstars to Suenalo play every damn night of the week. The club’s been giving Miami music lovers a reason…
Things are looking up for Miami moviegoers. Last month, Miami Beach passed an ordinance that would allow its Regal South Beach theater to sell booze to patrons.

If the pace of gentrification in Wynwood has gotten a little too speedy for you, here’s some bad news: the Miami Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board recently signed off on construction of the neighborhood’s most densely populated residential building to date — and also one of its tallest. According to…
Last week, as Miami Beach debated whether to close Ocean Drive to auto traffic, one slick event proved that the beachside stretch is still the perfect place for showing off on four wheels. The Gumball 3000 rally kicked off on the tourist-heavy road, drawing auto experts, clueless but dazzled onlookers,…
What happened, Florida? Just one year ago, you ranked among the least stressful states in the nation, according to Gallup. But 2014 is the year of anxiety in Florida, at least according to the real estate blog Movoto, which recently named Florida the number one most stressed out state in…
OK, everyone. Shake it off. Chin up. It was only Game One. The Miami Heat have plenty more chances to turn these Finals around in their favor. Pull yourselves together. On the upside, this summer weekend in Miami is uncharacteristically packed with fun events. It’s like the universe knew you’d…
When the marriage between the city of North Miami and its Museum of Contemporary Art was at peace, art donors didn’t seem to worry much about who technically owned the works they donated to be displayed at the museum. But the two entities are now in a nasty dispute, one…
Miami Film Month is back, and it couldn’t have come soon enough. The summer movie season is a perfect time to duck out of South Florida’s oppressive humidity and frustrating sudden showers and into the soothing climes of an air-conditioned theater. Especially if it’s one playing more than just the…
Miami gets a bad rap. People from outside the city limits claim it’s a vain, worthless wasteland, a tourist trap, a place devoid of culture and decent sports fans. Miamians, of course, know better. But it can be difficult to prove the haters wrong. Luckily, when it comes to the…
The FIFA World Cup is just a short punt away, kicking off next week. You’re in Miami, surrounded by more fans of the sport than perhaps anywhere else in the country. Soccer fever is at an all-time high, thanks to David Beckham’s intentions to bring a pro team to the…
Florida, and Miami in particular, is home to some of the world’s most absurd human behavior. So there’s no better place for a collection of the work of Tomi Ungerer, who described himself as “an archivist of human absurdity.” Ungerer, the French artist and illustrator who lent his work to…
If you’re one of the roughly 400,000 people who live in Miami, you know a few things about this city. You know where to find the best Cuban coffee; where to see the best art exhibits; and where to pick up the hottest singles in town. That’s some pretty valuable…
Damn, you guys. What a rough week. It should’ve been easy. For many, the Memorial Day holiday meant that the work week was only four days long. But in that time, we lost a local pin-up legend and an inspiring literary voice. Many still haven’t recovered from the ending of…
On the surface, dogs don’t need much in life: food, water, shelter, the occasional scratch behind the ear. But ask any canine companion, and they’ll tell you that some places are better than others. (They’ll tell you this in barks, whines, and leg-humps; it’s up to you to translate.) And…
South Florida lost an arts icon last weekend when legendary photographer Bunny Yeager passed away at the age of 85. Yeager began her career as a pin-up model in the 1940s, and evolved into a photographer in her own right, photographing icons like Bettie Page and Maria Stanger. Yeager’s life…
Miami may be an urban jungle, but it can be difficult to feel connected to the real wilderness when you spend your life among the construction cranes and skyscrapers within city limits. So the Verde Gardens Community Farm and Market is a welcome natural oasis. The project, a 22-acre working…
Pong. For gamers of a certain age, the word brings back memories of two-tone, two-dimensional graphics and hours spent at the arcade. But for today’s whippersnappers, there’s just one kind of pong: beer pong. But you don’t have to be a young gun to appreciate the Miami Heat. So this…
Maya Angelou, the multitalented storyteller known for her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, died Wednesday at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was 86…
