More than a way of eating, veganism is a lifestyle. And since people in the plant-powered movement tend to share the same values, it only makes sense that they’d want to find each other — for both business and personal purposes. But how to do that, exactly? Clearly none of…
In a city where anything (and everything) goes, standards are pretty high for All Hallows’ Eve. If you haven’t chosen your costume yet, you may be behind the eight ball. Halloween is just nine days away, which means Party City is sold out of everything good — and there’s only…
With Seed Food & Wine Festival’s inaugural run all wrapped up, it’s clear that Miami’s plant-based culinary community was bigger, stronger, and way more dedicated than anyone probably imagined. Myself included. With five full days of plant-based soirees, celebrity hosts, chef dinners, and vegan vendors, this was no ordinary veg…
Yoga may be soothing for the body and mind, but it can be rough on the wallet. And while free outdoor yoga is awesome, sometimes you just want a little AC to keep you from flinging sweat at your zen-like neighbor. At Wynwood Warehouse Project’s Enigmatic Vibrations, you can get…
This weekend, Miami’s love for all things meat played second fiddle to the newest star in the culinary constellation: the mighty vegetable. On Friday night, Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby, the duo behind Philadelphia’s Vedge and just-opened V Street, made kitchen magic with a rainbow-hued spectrum of fresh veggies, from…
Tomorrow marks a big day for Miami — finally, the red headed stepchild of the culinary world comes into her own. Seed Food & Wine Festival is bringing a truckload of plant-based vendors, celebrities, experts and eats to Midtown Miami. For once, the 305 is ahead of the game. Take…
The holidays are quickly approaching. And in a city full of gypsies, wanderers, and escapees from colder climates, that can mean a lot of folks are about to fall into a seasonal pit of loneliness and despair. Luckily, nothing cures the I-miss-my-family blues like the unconditional love of a pet…
Unless you’re one of the few people who didn’t recoil in horror at 2 Girls 1 Cup, it’s likely you don’t find poop particularly sexy. But the folks at Miami’s Fertile Earth Foundation are working to show the public that “waste” has a purpose, and embracing its awesomeness can help…
Post-Thanksgiving feast or tailgate binge, when you’re bloated and miserable, ever wished you could hit the reset button on your bod? Deliver Lean’s revAMP is your five-day ticket back to bring a normal human being again. To get the skinny (so to speak) on this program launching in November (perfect…
Every week there’s an arbitrary new ranking released by some dubious website or publication: Miami ranks last in number of Ivy Leaguers, first in number of Brazilian butt lifts. It’s great fodder, but how does Miami stack up when it comes to the stuff that actually matters? Last night at…
The holidays are coming, and for many people, it’s the loneliest time of the year. But instead of watching Friends reruns and eating your weight in Oreos, you could find someone who needs you as much as you need him or her. Because who couldn’t use a little unconditional love…
It’s official — meat-heavy food festivals have jumped the shark. Goodbye, burgers and bacon; hello, stuffed squash blossoms and coconut yogurt. Thanks to the health, environmental, and ethical benefits of plant-based eating, people are converting en masse, and food festivals are finally catching on. Best of all, the first plant-based…
Whether you were a sketcher of ligers a la Napoleon Dynamite or the Picasso of, ahem, man parts like Superbad’s Seth, it’s likely you were into some kind of doodling back in the day. And while all kids are artists, as adults, artistic expression tends to go out the window…
If you’re even remotely into fitness, it’s likely you get tired of the usual suspects: spinning, boot camp, CrossFit, yadda, yadda. Same old sweaty lineup. Dullsville. Lots of people end up abandoning their workout routines out of sheer boredom. Luckily, Miami’s has some newer fitness additions that make burning calories…
If there’s one thing nonprofits need more of, it’s money. Saving the world doesn’t come cheap, and shoestring budgets make things a lot harder for altruistic organizations. This fact of life is the impetus behind the first 5K PARK Fest, a brand new fundraising platform and festival designed to bring…
UPDATE: We have two winners: Jessica (PurpleJ247) and Poohbare311 are going to Seed. Enjoy! In just a couple of weeks, Miami will be ground zero for the latest and greatest in plant-based eating. Seed Food and Wine Festival is bringing five days of health-conscious, cruelty-free (and totally delicious) eats and…
Since blessed fall has finally arrived, now’s the time to start prepping that patio or backyard garden for planting. Play your cards right, and you’ll have plenty of produce to pick from for the next couple months — instead of being forced to buy plastic-wrapped crap at Publix. The Little…
You really shouldn’t need another excuse to pull your bike out of its rusty retirement, but if you do, Emerge Miami’s got it. Miami’s local cycling slash social activism crew has hosted a total of 99 rides, and for #100, they’re joining forces with Celebrate Diversity Miami (CDM), a new…
It’s likely you know her best as Cher, the fashion-forward, well-intentioned Beverly Hills high-schooler who created pop culture legend in 1995’s Clueless. But Alicia Silverstone is much more than a pretty face and Aerosmith video vixen — she’s also a dedicated mom, author, and vegan activist. Her cookbook The Kind…
If you’ve got a weak spot for Whoppers and Big Fish sammies, it’s likely you commit some serious gym time as penance. But why relegate yourself to a stuffy sweatbox when you can burn off your fave foods, help charity, and spend some QT in the great outdoors? Burger King’s…
As the city begins its inevitable descent into seawater, there’s no time like the present to become an environmental activist. Miami needs more realists and fewer dunce-capped deniers (ahem, Rick Scott). Luckily, the Tropical Audubon Society is here to help. It’s leading an interactive educational experience designed to shape tomorrow’s…
Jungle Island is a pretty upbeat place during daylight hours — happy monkeys, chirping birds, majestic ligers. All the wonders of the jungle, with none of the dangers. But for 19 nights over the next month, it’ll be an eerier place entirely. For the first time ever, Terror in the…
