Let me preface this piece with an admission: I’m not particularly into Miami Spice. Yeah, it’s a foodie win and a nice showcase for the city’s cuisine, but I find a three-course meal to be too much food, and vegetarian-friendly options are usually scarce. However, I recently embarked on a…
Just as quickly as it arrived, summer’s almost over. Of course, the hot weather won’t subside for awhile around here. But we can still celebrate Labor Day weekend like we’re bidding goodbye to sunshine and beach days like the rest of this poor, unfortunate nation. Either way, you need to…

If there’s one thing Miami needs, it’s another CVS, right? ‘Cuz there aren’t already drugstores on every single adjacent corner, side street and strip mall in the entire 305 area code. We need more.
