Unless you live under a rock (or in Davie), you’ve seen itty bitty blue and white Car2go vehicles all over the place for the past year. The smart car company made landfall in Miami exactly one year ago, and since then they’ve made their mark as an alternative to full-blown…
At 117, Miami is looking damn good for her age. Sure, she’s gone under the knife a time or two, but who hasn’t? And to celebrate her upcoming birthday, you can live it up at tonight’s Magic City Bike Party. The Critical Mass after-bash at Grand Central Park will host…
Minigolf, an all-American pastime if there ever was one, is generally about as sophisticated as windmills, waterfalls, and whiny adolescents. But as always, Miami is its own animal. And the new minigolf course at the Coral Gables Museum (285 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables) is more art installation than child’s play…
In a land of milk and honey like the U.S. of A., it’s shocking some kids don’t get enough to eat. Luckily, there are a lot of ways to help (aside from donning a green getup and robbing the rich à la Robin Hood). One such way is to support…
Miami’s got a lot of unique history. But in addition to the stuff everyone knows — the Art Deco boom, Versace’s murder, the causeway zombie — there are lots of equally fascinating occurrences that almost no one is aware of. The recently launched, Indiegogo-funded Mapping Arts Project is all about…
Come December, there’ll be another star in Miami’s sky. Stephen Starr, to be exact. The man behind Buddakan, Morimoto, Makoto and Steak 954 has been named the exclusive restaurateur and caterer for the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). The new, highly anticipated Herzog & de Meuron-designed space will offer three…
If the bees die, we die. So believed Albert Einstein, who once said, If bees were to disappear from the globe, mankind would only have four years left to live.” The bad news is, they are disappearing — and fast. The good news is, we can still take steps to…
If women and beer are a match made in heaven, the Craft Brewjas are angels here to spread the gospel. This South Florida faction is all about craft beer appreciation, and their latest event is bringing post-work week suds sipping to Miami Beach. This Friday night, the fierce females are…
Frankly, any day that celebrates a spirit should be a federal holiday. And though we (sadly) haven’t reached that point in our evolution, there’s a consolation prize: Yes, next Wednesday’s National Tequila Day is midweek, but you can still spend your after-work hours celebrating. In honor of the fruits of…
If there’s one thing Miami doesn’t have nearly enough of (besides courteous drivers), it’s Mexican food. West Coast transplants are all too familiar with guacamole withdrawal. But Brickell is about to get a shiny new option with La Mexicana Cantina & Grill. And this spot isn’t just about tasty eats…
This Thursday, Miami’s best chefs will utilize their collective culinary skills to combat childhood hunger at Taste of the Nation — a gastronomic gathering that benefits Share Our Strength, the nation’s leading anti-hunger group. A great cause, gourmet eats — what’s not to love? Of course, many local favorites will…
After another soaking wet weekend, we’re officially sick of summer. It’s time to ditch the umbrellas and say so long to the mutant mosquitoes. Fall, in all its dry, low-humidity glory, can arrive anytime now. Besides, we miss eating on patios. In the sunshine. But in the meantime, here’s an…
What’s a surefire cure for the rainy day blues? ICE CREAM PARTY! Lucky for us, this grey sky antidote is on its way today, so turn those frowns upside down. Today only, Uber Ice Cream trucks will be delivering on-demand frozen treats all around town from 10 a.m. to 4…
Mix a splash of beer, a dash of graffiti art, a pinch of indie tunes, and a smidgen of pirate radio, and whaddya cook up? Miami Beer Tour, of course. This unique music-cum-art-cum-booze-fest is an eclectic activity for culture connoisseurs who dig their brewskis. This Monday, the gang will take…
There’s always room for dessert, particularly in Hialeah — an area too often written off as a no-man’s land by South Florida’s foodies. South Miami’s über-popular Sweetness Bake Shop & Cafe opens its new location on July 25, so residents of Miami’s neighbor will be able to get their fill…
As much as we all love to hate corporate America (hell, we’re an alt-weekly, it’s kind of our shtick) — it has one big asset: convenience. After all, with 60-hour work weeks, bicycle bar crawls and that pesky need for sleep, ain’t nobody got time for consumer responsibility. And there’s…
Miami is nothing if not unconventional. What other city spends $2.5 million to build a technicolor, dolphin-vomiting sculpture in an empty ballpark? Or faces attacks by face-eating zombies? Or has unlicensed plastic surgeons who inject Fix-a-Flat into women’s asses? We’re so, uh, quirky. So the one-of-a-kind putt putt course in…
Come December, Miami will have a new bayfront home for all things art. The long-awaited Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) will arrive around the time of Art Basel, but in the meantime, you can get a tease of what’s in store at a newly announced summertime film series. The Lights…
It’s mid-July, and summer is in full swing, as evidenced by the daily rainshowers and everyone’s appallingly sweaty appearance. But summer heat also means summer lovin’, and who isn’t into that? A screening of the ultimate summer romance (Grease, natch) is just one of the free shindigs happening over the…
Get ready to rev those engines, easy riders. South Beach Bike Week is rolling into town, running August 16 through 18. And no, they’re not talking about the bikes you pedal with your own two feet. For the first time ever, our little slice of paradise will have its own…
Every year around this time, mango-philes rejoice as Fairchild Garden hosts its annual ode to all incarnations of the fleshy fruit. With more than 1,000 varieties of the tropical treat growing worldwide, there’s more than enough to keep crowds busy all weekend. But for those who attend annually, what’s different…
There’s more to downtown’s swanky db Bistro Moderne than sleek digs and elegant eats — there’s also wine. Lots and lots of wine. Proof: the contemporary, French-inspired bistro is getting official props for its impressive vino selection in the newest edition of Wine Enthusiast magazine. They’ve been named one of…
