Nowadays, the most compelling stories play out across a whole host of platforms. Think back on Amanda Bynes’ epic meltdown. It wouldn’t have been half as interesting if it hadn’t unfolded on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook (you know you wish you could work out like her) and everywhere else imaginable. And…
It’s no secret that veg-friendly restaurants are few and far between in Miami. The Magic City is more about pork than produce. But with the (free!)PlantEaters app, vegans and vegetarians can find meat-free options at restaurants of all kinds, from juice bars to steak houses. This makes eating out a…
No more excuses. The holidays are over, it’s a new year, and you’ve gotta get down to business when it comes to meeting that absurdly unrealistic list of resolutions you concocted. Seriously, do you really think you’ll lose 30 pounds, marry a millionaire and get a job with the Heat…
When it comes to eating on the go, vegans might think they’re up a creek without a paddle. Faced with menus packed with burgers, chicken nuggets, and cheesy burritos, they can feel hopeless to score anything quick and easy. But surprisingly, there are meatless options at even the most meat-heavy…
Miami’s eternal summer means we’re nothing if not unique as far as fashion is concerned. Where else can you strut the streets in sequined hot pants on New Year’s Eve? And now, a national site will be keeping 305-ers updated on the sexiest local trends, the hottest gossip, the best…
If you had it your way, man’s best friend would be by your side 24/7 — at work, at the gym. Hell, he’d even be twerking with you at the club. Sadly, our society frowns on too much canine company, and you’re forced to leave your best bud home alone…
Miami’s vegan eating scene is about to get a bit bigger. The diminutive but delicious Choices Cafe in the Roads is ready to open a larger location on the Upper Eastside. The new spot will also serve beer and wine, a step up from their current locale. See also: Choices…
Much like recycling, exercising regularly, and giving up whatever your poison is, joining a CSA (community-supported agriculture) is one of those things we should do but likely haven’t. The idea is this: Pay a biweekly fee for a share size of your choice, and pick up fresh, locally grown produce…
There’s only one holiday left before it’s back to the daily drudge, with nothing to look forward to til Valentine’s Day (which is maybe the worst holiday ever). But, at least we can say goodbye to 2013 with all the pomp and circumstance it deserves. Hell of a year, right?!…
This is Miami, and if there’s one thing we can guarantee, it’s that 2014 will come in like a wrecking ball. (Bereft of Miley Cyrus, however, since she ditched the 305 to wag her tongue in Times Square instead.) So when you wake up January 1 — glitter lodged in…
If 2014 is all about your baller status, the Mandarin Oriental’s Azul (500 Brickell Key Dr., Miami) is your best bet. Choose from artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, fresh seafood and sushi, breakfast bites, desserts, and swanky stuff like Colorado lamb saddle, truffle risotto, halibut rossini, and Australian filet mignon —…
New Year’s Day can go one of two ways: with a horrible hangover and a miserable start to 2014, or with a palate-pleasing meal and an optimistic outlook. Your choice. If you want to nurse those New Year’s Eve wounds and be happy you lived to see another year, you’ll…
Most of the year, being a vegetarian (or vegan) is little more than a minor inconvenience. After all, you have complete control over what goes into your shopping cart, refrigerator and, inevitably, digestive system. But around the holidays, things get a little more complicated. When faced with potlucks, buffets and…
Eye candy comes in many flavors. And at Miami’s Hunk-O-Mania strip show, the tasty varieties include sweaty gladiators, cowboys with six-packs, half-naked Egyptians, brooding mafiosos, super-sexy policemen, and more. This rainbow of hotness is now appearing at Miami Beach’s Club Play on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. To get a taste…
As the holiday season heads into overdrive, most of us are overwhelmed with excess in our lives, from gluttonous amounts of food to piles of presents to a flood of party invites. But not everyone is so lucky. As we bemoan our annual overeating, there are people facing hunger right…
If you’re not into eating A Christmas Story-style Chinese dinner on Jesus’ birthday, not to worry, there are plenty of other places to get good grub. Although if you are into Chinese, we’ve got a list for that, too. But for the rest of y’all, here’s a rundown of where…
It’s almost Christmas, and if you’re like anyone else in the first world, you’ve been completely checked out since last week. Work? HA! Productivity is ranking right up there with Phil Robertson’s reputation right about now. So to wile away all those free hours you’re blessed with this week, here’s…
There’s camp, and then there’s camp: pop culture so awesomely awful that it ends up being just, well, awesome. Many of Elvis Presley’s flicks fall into the aforementioned category (ok, all), but the campiest by far is Clambake, a 1967 Miami beach movie encompassing erudite themes like the science of…
Fast forward a couple years, and it’s likely that those scrambled eggs you eat every morning will have grown in a garden instead of a chicken’s lady parts. That’s thanks to Hampton Creek Foods, a food tech company that’s revolutionizing the egg industry with their plant-based substitutes. The Bill Gates…
The Fare Field, Miami’s farm-to-table web series straight out of Little Haiti, is on its fourth episode already. Time flies. This week, Bradley Herron, executive chef of the Genuine Hospitality Group, prepares a meal made up almost entirely of fresh eats from the farm. There’s saut�ed burgundy bush beans, a…
Santa’s Enchanted Forest. If you can read those three words without hearing the annual carnival-cum-Christmas-extravaganza’s catchy theme song in your head, you’re clearly not from around here. The explosion of holiday kitsch marked its 31st year when it opened this past Halloween. And even if you’ve been to Santa’s Enchanted…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yes, even in snow-free South Florida. Miami may not get the winter weather, but there are still plenty of ways to celebrate the season. Holiday wonderlands are hard to come by in this tropical oasis, but they exist. At the Deering Estate…
