The standard American diet is deadly. Thanks to processed foods, trans fats, and massive portion sizes, diseases like diabetes are rampant. Truth is, we’d be better off eating out of our own backyards. At Johnson & Wales University’s North Miami campus, students have cultivated an edible landscape with over 100…
Who doesn’t love the charms of the Halloween season? Hoards of half-dressed Big Birds, Duck Dynasty dudes and Miley Cyruses — all with conveniently lowered inhibitions, thanks to spiked punch and Fireball shots. And that’s just one piece of the pumpkin pie. There are mountains of candy, dachshunds dressed as…

If you’re a gamer who’s a little more sophisticated than your average Candy Crush player, it’s likely you pledge allegiance to Atari, a pioneer in the world of video games. But do you really know the ins and outs of their groundbreaking beginning? Soon, you can. Two Miamians are taking…
Hello, Monday. We haven’t missed you and your dick moves. But then again, if we didn’t have a break from wilding out every weekend, we might be dead by now — so maybe you’re a blessing in disguise. Any way you slice it, we’ve got five days of work to…
Given our proximity to Halloween, monsters are everywhere at the moment. But for Walking Dead fans, blood, guts and gross-outs are a weekly occurrence. And if you’re one of the many macabre folks into all things undead, you can join fellow fans for a weekly viewing party at Brickell’s El…
A drive-thru margarita bar might sound a little, well, illegal. After all, open containers aren’t allowed in any state in the U.S. of A. But there are loopholes, and through those loopholes pops up Houston’s W Grill and its delicious frozen concoctions. At this neighborhood spot in the hip Heights…
Grovetoberfest, Florida’s biggest beer bash, sloshes into Coconut Grove this Friday, and the daylong brew fest rivals the best of its German brethren.

The doctor is in. Or will be, anyway, come this Friday. For the first time in 25 years, a former Doctor Who will touch down in Miami to meet with Whovians, sign mini versions of the TARDIS, and generally regale us with geeky glee. The seventh doctor himself (Sylvester McCoy)…

As art house theaters go, our little Coral Gables Art Cinema is quite the charmer. And while they’ve garnered lots of local acclaim over the years (including Best Of awards from this publication), they’ve remained relatively bereft of national attention. But no more. The artsy outpost has finally earned its…
America may not have a functional government, a decent public transportation system, or a healthy collective BMI. But one thing we do have is talent in spades. And America’s Got Talent will be looking for their latest and greatest in Miami on October 26 and 27. Unlike lots of talent-based…
Is it just us, or are Mondays not quite as hideously miserable once we start approaching the holidays? Fall and winter are notoriously unproductive, people spend more time pinning to their “wish list for Santa” Pinterest board than actually working, and no one gives a shit. It’s an apathetic employee’s…
Back in the ’50s, performers like Little Beaver and Fuzzy Cupid (yes, seriously) were big names on the national wrestling circuit. They were also midgets. And while this particular form of stage show died down for a few decades, it’s making waves again thanks in part to the TruTV show,…
In my wildest food fantasies, there’s typically some combination of cheese, potatoes, pickles or all of the above. After all, I never met a cheese I didn’t like, and potatoes are the world’s most versatile plant. And pickles — well, who doesn’t love the satisfying crunch of a sweet gherkin?…
Horror is best dispensed with a side of hilarity — Evil Dead, anyone? And just in time for Halloween, Miami’s Front Yard Theatre Collective is hosting a creepy comedy night at vino and tapas joint Time for Wine. In addition to Halloween improv, lots of grown up grape juice and…

In the London district of Southwark, there stands a massive emporium of eating; a world-famous landmark, a bounty of gourmet delights since the 19th century known as Borough Market. Tables piled high as far as the eye can see with plump, pink radishes; brilliant emerald-colored lettuce; periwinkle carrots; fragrant, golden…
Halloween’s just a few weeks away. Thanksgiving comes a few after that. And then there’s Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, take your pick. Which means you’re about to be spending beaucoup bucks on friends, loved ones, neighborhood kids, and professional colleagues you secretly despise. Gotta love the holidays. So, to help you…
Forget that summertime sadness, Lana Del Rey. If you’re from out of town, you’re probably feeling the autumn blues right about now. No colorful foliage, no apple picking, no cute boots or bright scarves. But there’s a consolation prize. At least you can get your pumpkin patch on at the…
Forget the Dolphins and the fickle fandom that goes along with ’em. The true football fanatics in this city bleed orange, green, and white. It makes sense. After all, Miamians love to party, and there ain’t no party like a college football party. This Saturday, the sports shindig revolves around…
Much like Parks & Recreation’s illustrious Tom Haverford, the Brits have all kinds of adorable terminology for their daily eats. OK, so maybe they beat him to the name game by like, 400 years, but either way, phrases like “bangers” (British) and “chicky chicky parm parm” (Tom-ish) are hard not…
