If you invented an inspired excuse to get out of work today and you’re headed downtown to revel in the glory of the Heat — we’re jealous. But all of that madness is likely to leave you with an appetite — it’s not easy banging pots and pans, cheering till…
The TM Sisters are Miami’s artistic siblings extraordinaire. Together, the duo have mastered everything from costume creation and roller skating to painting and DJing — with lots of video projection and collage-making along the way. Art by Monica and Tasha Lopez De Victoria tends towards the technicolor, the action-packed –…
The 90-plus-degree temps and 100 percent humidity this weekend are evidence that summer is in full swing. Which means beach days, picnics, and poolside parties. But how are Miamians to get their drink on while maintaining a stellar beach bod? Simple. Opt for some of these delicious low-cal drink choices…
It’s summer. The Heat are victorious. Our city may fall into the sea in 15 years. All things considered, seems like the perfect time to adopt a YOLO mentality. So even though the weekend’s over, the week is just beginning — and it kicks off with a Heat championship parade…
Are you one junk pile away from an appearance on Hoarders? Is your apartment so crammed with crap, your cat is sleeping in a filing cabinet? Are you the proud owner of not one, not two, but three dust-covered Wii consoles? Before your significant other leaves you for cleaner pastures,…
Bad news for all you slow pokes and Cuban time procrastinators — you’ve missed your chance at this year’s epic flying adventure known as Flugtag. This week, Red Bull announced the 33 carefully chosen teams competing in Miami’s September event, and they run the gamut from manatees with wings to…
Summer in Miami is an exercise in sweat. Unlike most other cities, our liquid-laden air and tropical rays mean overheating is to be expected. So how the hell are you supposed to keep cool when even the ocean is 85 degrees? Drinking, of course. And there’s nothing better to cool…
Pub crawls. Much like the comedy duo of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, they’re so 2005. For the grown-ass men and women of 2013, today’s crawls are culinary. Enter Dishcrawl, Miami’s answer for those in need of a little gastronomic guidance. This Tuesday, Vicky, Miami’s Dishcrawl diva, will lead a…
Once upon a time, before Chili’s and Starbucks, Coconut Grove was an artist’s parish, where the free-spirited danced, painted, and played their days away. Now the population is much more likely to make harried commutes to Brickell in their BMWs, but we digress. Twice a year, the shaded enclave reclaims…
In a city like Miami, where 100 percent humidity is par for the course, summer is all about getting wet. If we couldn’t cool off with water sports, sprinkler systems, and backyard pools, we’d all be sizzling away like so many eggs on the sidewalk. On Saturday, June 29, Tobacco…
Miami could use more laughter in its life. With crime and corruption dominating our daily news cycle, we need every excuse for a guffaw we can get. Luckily, there are more than a few talented comedians in our midst, some of whom recently collaborated on the hilarious and highly lauded…
It’s hard to find a more reviled profession than the meter maid. Dentists, tax men, and telemarketers can’t hold a candle to the folks who make their living assaulting innocent dashboards with those evil little slips. But is the hatred unwarranted? Turns out, meter maids are (gasp!) people too. And…
Summer is officially here — and it’s not for the faint of heart. Given the 90 degree-plus temperatures hanging over Miami this weekend, it’s likely you sweated out a good five pounds or so hitting the beach, lounging at the pool, and chilling on patios. Good thing you were constantly…
Judging by his affinity for booze, a laid back lifestyle and the occasional sexcapade, we’re pretty sure The Dude would approve of Miami. So it’s a fitting tribute to spend Sunday night on one of the city’s best pool decks, drinking, eating and watching him in all his boozy, bowling…
Father’s Day is this Sunday, and it’s an obligatory holiday. One exception: If you’re a fetus whose dad has dubbed himself “Yeezus,” you have our permission to ignore the holiday from now until forever. But for the rest of us, it’s time to start the mad scramble for a last-minute…
Sometimes it’s hard to have pity for paparazzi-plagued celebrities. After all, they signed up for the gig, and they’re copiously compensated for any given troubles. But celebrities’ children are another story. It can’t be easy to read about your parents’ sex tapes, jailtime, or cheating scandals in the daily rags…
In a city that sees more openings and closings in a month than many places do in a year, it’s rare for a bar or restaurant to make it to the 18th-anniversary mark. But Miami Beach’s iconic Abbey Brewing Company is about to do just that later this month, which…
Since mead first made its way into the mouths of the ancient Greeks, mankind has been plagued by hangovers. And despite the advancement of medical technology, we’ve yet to find a cure. Most of us just suffer through — taking snake oil supplements, downing a hair of the dog, or…
Like books? Like art? Like books about art? Then it’s likely you’ll dig the world of the Art Book Review, a Los Angeles-based organization that doles out artsy books to willing writers who then pen reviews. The group is being hosted by Miami’s Bookleggers mobile library, on site at Locust…
Galleries, restaurants and cultural hotspots are opening their doors in downtown almost faster than we can write about them. And that’s saying something, ‘cuz we’re speedy devils. For those following the area’s exponentially expanding art scene, the newest notable installment is CU-1 Gallery, a photography venue that plans to showcase…
For those of us with any semblance of common sense, there are certain things we know we shouldn’t do in public: take drugs, have sex, streak. Polite society isn’t into that stuff. Though Miami Beach might seem like it’s a lot more liberal than most public places, those rules still…
Assuming your office building didn’t get washed away by last week’s torrential downpour, you’re back at your cube like a good little worker bee this morning. Which sucks. But the good news is it’s hurricane season. So a serious storm could roll in any day, leading to forced evacuations and…
