If you’re still crashing hard from your Pain & Gain-fueled adrenaline rush and meathead fantasyland at the theater this weekend, not to worry. A few cafecitos and some LOLZ cats will remind you that you’re not, in fact, a member of the Sun Gym gang. Nor do you have the…
Riddle me this: what’s cold and hot and totally free? Tomorrow’s grand opening of YoBlendz froyo joint at Dadeland Station, where there’ll be sweet, healthy frozen treats, hotness in the form of the Miami HEAT dancers — and live entertainment, too. Seriously, we challenge you to find a cheaper way…
Polo is a pastime generally reserved for the upper crust — they don’t call it the “sport of kings” for nothing. And because it tends towards exclusivity, it’s chock full of good looking, wealthy, and athletically inclined players. Hot. Ness. Yesterday marked the start of the annual Miami Beach Polo…
As if Critical Mass weren’t already epic enough. The monthly ride through Miami’s streets gets extra jacked this week, thanks to an insane after-party dubbed Go Dutch! – a wild costume contest and Queen’s Day festival that’s bound to produce all kinds of royalty-related ridiculousness. This Friday, bikers will don…
Pain & Gain opens tomorrow. And when it does, Miami’s gym culture, New Times, and our city’s seedy underbelly will have their moment in the sun — their steroid-fueled, bicep-bulging, vein-popping 15 minutes of fame. If you’re a dude (or a chick — we don’t discriminate) who wants to score…
If they live in Miami long enough, even the whitest Midwestern girls will get a little Cuban in them — literally, figuratively, or both. But excluding a questionably legal Jay-Z and Beyonce-style trip down south, life in Miami is still just short of actual immersion. But at this weekend’s Taste…
AIDS is the scourge of the 21st Century, and it’s about time for that rat bastard to go down in flames. Despite some recent encouraging scientific advances, we’re still far, far from the days when we no longer have to fear its deadly grip. Plus, new HIV infection rates in…
Miami is nothing if not a rabbit hole, a place where doe-eyed innocents, much like Alice, gather en masse and then disappear into a surreal void where they meet tweaked-out freaks and crazy characters. So an Alice in Wonderland-themed event seems incredibly appropriate for our far-out fantasyland. Enter Alice in…
Food and literature are long-term lovers. And poetry, in particular, has had a romantic relationship with all things edible throughout the ages. From Shel Silverstein to Jonathan Swift, some of the most famous scribes have penned odes to their favorite bites. Poet and editor Kevin Young has compiled some of…
Tattoos sting. So what better way to offset the pain than a serenade of spoken word and craft cocktails? That’s the premise behind Friday’s Animal Spirits event, where you can hear some epic poetry, sip some Hemingway punch, and possibly score a free tat, too. Friday evening, poet Tom Healy…
Miami is a town that’s all about the booze. Our idea of a fun night out is bar-hopping, shot-taking, and beer-chugging. And there’s no better neighborhood to get our collective drink on than the party epicenter of the universe: South Beach. But with the plethora of pubs, bars, lounges, and…
For many of us, our dogs are like our kids. We love them, we care for them, and they can torture us with the same kind of behavior issues: barking, chewing, aggression. It’s like the canine version of crying, drawing on the walls and temper tantrums. Luckily, you can teach…
Emeline Michel is all about repping her Haitian heritage. “On all of my 10 albums, the lyrics and rhythms are inspired, created and rooted from Haiti. 100 percent pure … like Tropicana,” she jokes. So her upcoming poetry music mash-up at Big Night in Little Haiti, will likely bring you…
It’s a jungle out there in South Florida. No, really — this is the tropics. From scorpions and parrots to alligators and iguanas, we share our state with a plethora of critters, some super cuddly, others deceptively deadly. Miami author Michael Largo knows all about the beasties. He’s been collecting…
It’s a veritable jungle out there in South Florida. After all, this is the tropics. We share space with a plethora of critters — from scorpions and parrots to alligators and iguanas. Some are supercuddly; others are deceptively deadly. Miami author Michael Largo knows all about the beasties. He’s been…
Jillian Michaels is this generation’s Jack LaLanne. She’s a fitness guru, a wellness coach, an author, a charity spokesperson, and one terrifyingly motivating presence in the gym. For 11 years, her role on The Biggest Loser has inspired countless overweight Americans to get off their asses and transform their bodies…
Spring is in the air and temperatures are on the rise, which means it’s time for beach, booze, and bikinis. Last year, the 305 saw its first Floatopia, an epic party on inner tubes that overtook South Pointe Park (1 Washington Ave., Miami Beach) with Solo cups, camaraderie, and dozens…
This Saturday, slap on those stretch pants and get ready to unleash the fatty within, because an epic foodgasm is in store. The World’s Largest Food Truck Event Ever is coming to Magic City Casino (450 NW 37th Ave., Miami). And the man behind the mission? Burger Beast. For two…
Floatopia is almost upon us, and Miami’s masses are buzzing with aquatic anticipation. What’s not to love about a floating party? We don’t get nearly enough chances to take to the brilliant blue waters of Miami Beach with booze, buddies, and duck floaties. This is a situation where it’s best…
As the mixology world grows increasingly complex, crafting concoctions can be intimidating, both for budding bartenders and at-home drinkers. Juniper sugar? Gelatin cubes? Bacon-infused bitters? Where in the world are you supposed to begin? But the dudes behind the über-prestigious Beverage Alcohol Resource (BAR) professional training program have the at-home…
Maybe you were good this weekend. You abstained from booze, got in a 10-mile bike ride, read studious literature instead of your usual Maxim selection. You were productive, healthy, and well-rested. And bored. You were also super bored. So, we think your good behavior has earned you some weekday debauchery…
When a new brewery makes its way to Miami, we’re super stoked. Hell, there are two or three on tap to open this year, and the city’s practically in a tizzy. Drinking anything cooked up in our own backyard is totes exciting, given the serious lack of local beers we’ve…
