My Little Organic Bistro: Try the Grilled Coconut Cheese Sandwich

Forget blink-and-you’ll-miss-it; you could be staring wide-eyed at My Little Organic Bistro and still miss it. There’s no real signage, and it’s tucked into a nondescript Bird Road strip mall. The only hint that something special lies within is a window proclaiming, “Organic health.” But once you’re inside, you’ll see…

Kite Hill: Vegan Cheese That’ll Fool Your Omnivore Friends

Despite the marvelous advances food tech companies have made in the areas of chicken, beef, fish, and even egg substitutes, vegan cheese has been far from fooling anyone. Even the best of the faux dairy is still a pretty obvious reproduction, often tasting more like chewy soy chunks than the…

SpecialTea Lounge: Try the Vegan ¡Ay Chihuahua! Wrap

SpecialTea Lounge is out of the way. So far out of the way, in fact, that I’m rarely able to make the trek to this cozy little FIU-adjacent lunch spot. My loss. It’s well worth the haul (even in traffic) to grab a bite of their outstanding homemade eats. Take…

Ministry of Truth

Big Brother is watching, and some people are into that kind of thing (we don’t judge). Which is why regular Joes have been backstabbing, drama-queening, and outmaneuvering their way into reality TV history for (going on) 16 seasons. Or it could just be the money. The winner of the voyeuristic…

Go Meatless This Thursday for Meatout

Beehive Juice Bar Open at New Location

In excellent news for healthy eaters and vegans Miami-wide, the much-beloved Beehive Juice Bar is open in a new location, just down the road from the old one. Turns out even corporate America (in the guise of CVS) couldn’t keep this thriving little eatery down. See also: Strip Mall Containing…

Top Ten Free Things to Do in Miami

Miami is a lot of things — a bastion of beautiful people, a tropical paradise, the road rage capital of the free world. One thing it isn’t, however, is cheap. And while some Miamians have beau coup bucks to throw around, if you’re reading this, we’re guessing you’re not one…

Miami’s Ten Best Vegan Desserts

There are many misconceptions about vegans, one of which is that our diets are a mundane mix of raw vegetables, filtered water, and the occasional fruit. Fail. Vegans love a good dessert as much as the average carnivore — we just opt out of the animal ingredients. Luckily, there are…

How to Get Cast in Big Brother Season 16

Do your wildest dreams include people watching you eat, sleep and (if you get lucky) have sex? CBS’s long-running voyeur wet dream is casting for season 16, and they’re making a stop at Cameo this weekend. Big Brother is watching – if you want. If exhibitionism is on your list…

Top Ten Ways to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Miami

Break out the shamrocks and the Alka Seltzer, St. Patrick’s Day is almost here. Whether you’re Irish by birth or just looking to get a little Irish in ya this year, it’s sacrilegious not to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland’s special day. Given Miamians’ affinity for booze, we’re basically…

Small Clothes, Big Designers

In case you hadn’t noticed, Fashion Week is dominated by Amazons. You’re not likely to spot anyone on the catwalk under five-foot-ten. But where’s the love for the littler lot, the ones not in the 99th percentile? For everyone on the shorter side, Friday’s Petite Fashion Week Networking Event fills…

Superfood Bars: Goji, Spirulina, Cacao Snacks Made by Hand in Miami

Think packaged food prep, and you’ll likely envision a sterile assembly line manned by dead-eyed factory workers. Or not manned at all. Such is the general reality of our tech-heavy, mass-produced food system. But Eat4Life, a Miami-based company and creator of the Superfood bar, is just the opposite. Even with…

Eden in Eden French Cafe: Try the Vegan Croque-Monsieur

As comfort foods go, the croque-monsieur is hard to beat. The richly satisfying French snack consists of thickly cut bread loaded with ham and cheese, topped with even more cheese, and grilled to a hot, melted finale. Eden in Eden, a newly opened vegetarian French caf� in the Roads, offers…
