Harry Potter has returned, and he’s officially adulting. Strange as it sounds, the boy who lived is 36 years old and embarking on a whole new adventure. One that involves a cursed child, apparently. A new play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts 1 & 2, written by Jack…
Wynwood may get most of the attention, but the Miami-Dade’s outdoor art renaissance has made its way into neighborhoods from North Beach to Pinecrest. Now South Miami is the latest to adorn its edifices. The Shops at Sunset Place boasts new, nature-inspired artwork. The open-air shopping center — home to…
Born to Haitian parents and raised in Miami’s melting pot, 18-year-old artist Nadia Wolff has come of age in a cultural milieu. Her unique experience and identity has informed her powerful, personal work, which focuses on self-portraiture through embroidery, painting, and poetry. “I try to make work that examines the…
Despite popular misconception, the term “vegan milkshake” is not an oxymoron. These creamy treats are just like regular milkshakes — only without the cow’s milk and unpleasant digestion issues. The frozen desserts aren’t easy to find, however, particularly in Miami. But there’s a shake shortage in the 305 no longer. Bunnie…
If you misplace your farmer’s almanac, there are two ways to tell when mango season has hit Miami: the sweet smell of fallen fruit, sizzling on sidewalks — and the arrival of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s International Mango Festival. Every July, the famous fest brings mango aficionados from across the globe…
Mangos are falling from the skies across South Florida, which means avocados are up next. But if your neighborhood is short on fruit-laden trees, not to worry — Bernetallo Farms in Homestead is having a pick-your-own day on July 9th, so you can head home with all the avocados you…
Leave it to Mitchell Kaplan, the godfather of Miami’s bookselling scene, to keep bringing literary innovation to South Florida more than three decades after opening his first store. Kaplan’s newest venture — a books-meets-bikes-meets-art shop — has popped up in Miami’s most colorfully dressed neighborhood: Wynwood. The concept, which sits…
Miami and Detroit may not appear to have much in common superficially. Dig a little deeper, though, and the two disparate cities share more than a few characteristics — unique cultures, impressive comebacks, and Shinola. The brand, famous for its American-made watches, bicycles, journals, and other goods, is headquartered in…
Cue Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out for Summer” and watch kids everywhere go apeshit with excitement. But for moms, the onset of summer vacation prompts another emotion altogether: fear. How are you supposed to keep high-energy offspring from bouncing off the proverbial walls when there’s no classroom to contain ’em? Don’t…
We’re all grown-ups here (unfortunately), which means we can eat ice cream, Oreo cookies, and/or banana pancakes for supper. (Frankly, freedom over food choices and bedtime are two of the only benefits of adulting.) As it turns out, FEAST Miami’s seventh vegan pop-up dinner slash art event is perfect for…
Hialeah is coming up in the world. That much has been obvious for a while. The neighborhood’s cultural and artistic gains have led to increased attention and respect. Tired, cliched stereotypes about the South Florida city are on the way out. In honor of the one year anniversary launch of…
For herbivorous foodies, culinary events can feel forbidding. After all, most gastronomic affairs aren’t geared towards vegans … they’re more likely to be piled high with pork belly and foie gras. But times are changing, and eateries are stepping up to satisfy diverse diets. At the ninth annual Coral Gables Restaurant…
In addition to its current elephantine residents, Zoo Miami is about to get another one. This one, however, is inanimate. In celebration of Endangered Species Day (which is tomorrow, May 20), Trend Group (the world’s largest producers of full body glass mosaic, gold mosaic, and Venetian enamel) has donated a…
Given that Miami’s main attraction involves sand, sunshine, and Brazilian bikinis, rainy days can throw some serious shade (literally) on everyone’s parade. But contrary to popular belief, our city isn’t just a beach destination — there are plenty of worthwhile pursuits that don’t involve tan lines or Wet Willie’s. With…
For most of us, memories of school cafeteria cuisine include the likes of mini milk cartons, mystery meat, and that glorious treat known as pizza Friday. But schools today are upping their nutrition game, and Miami-Dade is at the front of the pack. Miami-Dade County Public Schools and the…
As traffic gets progressively worse, Miamians are (finally) starting to get serious about alternative transportation. The city just announced plans for six new rail lines. And since May is National Bike Month, the celebration is bringing citywide attention to two-wheeled travel. In order to commemorate and show support for cycling, Pérez…
For any diner with a dietary restriction, eating out can be difficult. How do you know where to go, what to order — whether the server will be awesome about accommodating you, or an asshole? Tasteful is a new app geared towards vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free and other healthy or restricted eaters…
Just in time for Earth Day, a buoyant lab is officially on the surface of Biscayne Bay at Museum Park. Everyone is welcome aboard. The Miami Science Barge, which has been in the works since early 2015, is a floating classroom and ecological experience designed to help support a more sustainable…
Sheryn Abalos has been vegan for three decades. She stopped eating animal products at 13, ages before Beyonce, Miley, or Ariana helped the term make it into the mainstream. In those days, meat substitutes were few and far between, and vegan cheeses?! The options were rubbery and gray, at best. …
