Wynwood’s famous Dorsch Gallery is about to unveil its new identity, Extreme Makeover-style. Tonight, the newly renovated space will re-open with new exhibitions, a new layout, and a brand new moniker to match. Emerson Dorsch, as the gallery is now named, is a partnership between husband and wife team Brook…
The human body is approximately 65 percent liquid, which means we inevitably do a lot of drinking to keep that waterlogged equilibrium. Whether it’s the recommended allowance of H20 or copious quantities of booze, there’s lots of the wet stuff constantly flowing down our gullets. So proper drinkware is no…
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…
One of the greatest perks of living in paradise: You can eat (and drink) outdoors year-round, not just for a brief month or two in the summertime like those suckers in the Northeast. And lovers of all things edible can reap the benefits at this week’s Great Taste of the…
Being a grownup royally sucks in a lot of ways, but it does offer a few perks: booze, no bedtime, dessert before dinner. And sometimes don’t we all wanna skip the salad and steak and let our inner 5-year-old go to town on candy and cookies instead? Such is the…
There are a lot of things about Miami that are funny: banana hammocks, Pepe Billete, Marlins Park’s profit margin. But sadly, our sunny city is often overlooked when it comes to comedic talent. It’s easy for outsiders to discount the likes of the 305 when compared to traditional meccas like…
Serious beer drinkers might have a bit of a bias toward cans. After all, they tend to evoke memories of Natty Light, PBR, and long drunken days in college. But it’s a new day for brews, and cans are emerging as a viable vessel for some of the nation’s hottest…
In a market flooded with synthetic, sweet vodkas in flavors like Swedish fish, Fruit Loops, and yes, glazed doughnuts — a pure, natural one is a breath of fresh air. Hence the appeal of American Harvest, a new organic spirit by the makers of Grey Goose. The new vodka is…
A week into April already? Seriously? It’s like someone pressed the freakin’ fast-forward button. But time flies when you’re having fun, and let’s face it — this is Miami. We’re all about the fun. It’s kind of our thing. On that note, you probably need a few diversions to get…
Right now in Ohio, residents are bundled up in parkas and scarves, braving snowstorms, frozen locks, and frigid temps. Here in Miami, we’re strolling the streets, hitting the beach, and sipping cocktails on breezy patios. This is why there’s no place like the 305. So take advantage of our summery…
Beer is delicious on its own. But when infused with coffee grinds, citrus fruits and hell — even donut holes — it’s that much better. That’s why Dogfish Head’s Randall invention might be the best thing ever. A Randall is a ridiculously awesome filter system that runs beer through any…
Since 2010, Miami’s most earnest inventors have taken to Bayfront Park in wild attempts at winning Red Bull’s annual Flugtag challenge. From half-naked dudes in chicken feathers to Iron Man’s Miami incarnation, every creation imaginable has sailed through the sky — most concluding with giant belly-flops in the water below…
Everyone loves a water balloon fight. That is, everyone who’s not a stodgy old coot. So the concept of a giant, 5,000-person battle royale, where everyone’s armed with copious quantities of balloon bombs, is epic indeed. That epic water balloon battle is coming to Miami on April 13. It’s dubbed…
Pork belly. Candied bacon. Pig’s feet. It seems no one can get enough of Porky Pig these days, from tip to tail. Such is the premise behind Cochon 555, the annual competition that pits notable local chefs against each other in a piggy battle royale. During the battle, chefs must…
For 12 consecutive seasons, locals have gathered en masse at Miami’s oldest bar to suck heads, sip brews, and listen to tunes. This year is no different. Sunday marks the 2013 incarnation of Tobacco Road’s famous New Orleans-style Crawfish Boil. This free seafood fest is an afternoon of food, drinks,…
Given Miami’s well-deserved reputation as a boozy city, it’s surprising we have so little on-site distillation of our own. But luckily, that’s changing — in part thanks to last year’s launch of the now award-winning Miami Club Rum. The newbie brand just took home the gold medal for best white…
Attention, boozehounds: We’re here to tell you about an event called New Times Beerfest. The name alone is reason enough to attend. What gives New Times the right to give this event the same name as every beer drinker’s favorite movie? How about this: Attendees at this annual fete will…
In a city as rife with rudeness, excess, and immorality as Miami, we could all use a little more do-goodery in our lives. So Philanthrofest is a welcome respite from our lives of sin. This annual event champions the hundreds of philanthropic organizations working to make Miami a better place…
Last year, the 305 saw its first Floatopia, an epic party on innertubes that overtook South Pointe Park with Solo cups, comaraderie, and dozens of inflatable devices. And lucky for those who didn’t get to partake in last summer’s shindig, it’s back. Scheduled for 4/20, the buoyant bash is hitting…
Fans of Wynwood’s hipster haunt Wood Tavern, get stoked! Soon you’ll be able to pair that IPA with a piece of pizza and a candy bar, should you be so inclined. Owner Cesar Morales has officially entered into a lease for the muraled, two-story building behind Wood, and he plans…
Every edible item has its day of celebration: popcorn, burritos, even Fig Newtons (January 16, in case you were wondering). But some foods are so special, so memorable, so irresistible they get a whole month of commemoration. Grilled cheese is one such food. And April is its month. After all,…
In Miami, restaurants come and go quicker than the hopes of Marlins fans. Recently, the Mondrian Hotel’s Asia de Cuba shut its doors after buying out of a partnership with Morgans Hotel Group. The London and Los Angeles branches of the swanky Latin/Asian chain remain open, but Miami’s outpost is…
