Coming into these Olympic games, it seemed as if Dwyane Wade was only known for being the pitchman for a Chinese sex pill (without his permission). Oh, and a guy who once won an NBA title or something. Now, the Chinese are chanting his name when he walks by: “Wade-a!…
Last year, Riptide touched on the plight of Cocodorm.com, er, which despite the use of “dorm” in its name it isn’t collegiate housing. It’s a site where Internet users can peer into the lives of men of color who live together in a house in Edgewater at NE 27th Street…
Courtesy of Girls Gone Wildlife You love this ass! Debbie Attias takes a cross country bike ride to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund. Does she look like a slut? No, Debbie Attias, half of the now-defunct, Brooklyn-based, MIA born-and-raised Avenue D, looks like a cyclist. She and friend…
Justin Namon In order to beat the heat, PS14’s Wednesday night party YO! BBQ had a pool party — er, except there is one problem, PS14 doesn’t have a pool. That’s why kiddie pools were brought in and downtown night crawlers were encouraged to come in swimwear. Check out the…
When Baltimore DJ Dave Nada stops by The Vagabond’s Money Shot party tomorrow along with DJ Craze, expect to give your ass a thorough workout. The grooves will be plenty heavy, but that’s to be expected since Baltimore has emerged as one of the more promising DJ scenes in United…
Lam Vuong Club editor Jason Handelsman at the mercy of ScaryMary, literally suffering for his craft. I like wearing panties, and walking around in high heels. I like wearing a G-string and handcuffs while being flogged by a dominatrix. I like having a ball gag in my mouth and a…
The two months of fine-dining deals known as Miami Spice isn’t all about the culinary savings. This year, organizers are also putting on cooking demos around the city with chefs of some of the city’s top restaurants. Macy’s at Dadeland and Aventura will showcase the cooking skills of chefs from…
Justin Namon Gutter sounds invade White Room’s Monday night party Exposure when Baltimore DJ Scottie B. The downtown Miami party has been going against the Monday-night-parties-don’t-work odds by booking solid national DJs, giving us a great excuse to go hungover to work on Tuesdays. Click here to enjoy last night’s…
Last week’s post covered the Bicycle Action Committee’s biking trends survey regarding local riding habits. Riders seemed to stay bicycle law savvy, though admittedly choose which moments to obey the rules. This week covers the geography of ridership, particularly the participants’ daily jaunts and where they want to see bike…
This weekend was on a personal level, er, less than spectacular to say the least. Some events scheduled to be covered fell to the wayside, so today’s weekend recap is somewhat bare. Other than a brief reunion by ’70s rock band Bad Company, there were few other noteworthy events. Even…
Okay, so the Dolphins lost their pre-season opener 17-6. But winning or losing is not necessarily the objective of pre-season. It’s all about evaluation. And it’s about football season finally being here, dammit! Dolphins fans had been waiting since December to get the rather objectionable taste of a 1-15 season…
Bad Company Friday, August 8, 2008 Seminole Hard Rock Live, Hollywood Unless you’re a devoted fan – or you listened to a lot of radio during the ‘70s and early ‘80s — the prospect of a Bad Company reunion wouldn’t necessarily inspire the same kind of crazed anticipation that accompanied,…
Elyse Wanshel Doraku’s bar, located at Lincoln Road near Alton, serves up old favorites with an Asian twist. I’ve got nine bucks in my pocket, it’s a Wednesday night and I’m on Lincoln Road. Most people would say I’m screwed — I mean, what could one possibly get on Lincoln…
Ivon David Rojas With so many good music stories being produce every week, we here at the New Times wanted to clue you in on stories and blog posts done by the other Village Voice Media publications. Check it out what is happening Around the Voice: Village Voice’s article “How…
Courtesy of Spiradic Productions Cuban jazz drummer Diego “Mofeta” Iborra passed away last month at 89. You never know who some of Miami Beach’s golden oldies are or might have been in their younger years, unless of course they reach into their wallet from time to time and pull out…

Inside the Little River Mobile Home Park, William Vallenilla is pointing to an insipid trailer in the afternoon sun. “Ooooh, maybe we’ll have an orange door,” he says enthusiastically. “And a brown stripe in…
The periwinkles have packed their bags and gone back to the Riviera: After less than a year in operation, Maison d’Azur is out of business. The gorgeous seafood brasserie, set in the stunning Angler Resort on South Beach, served sensational seafood from the Mediterranean; their créme brûlée was finer than…

Matthew Dear returns to Miami Saturday, August 16, at Boutique. Avant-garde electropop artist/producer Matthew Dear, also known as Audion, returns to Miami next Saturday, August 16 at Boutique (NE 13th Street & First Court, Miami) — er, you know, Pawn Shop Lounge’s Boutique Room. I know! It’s still open! Who…
It’s a busy weekend in Miami’s club land, so get ready to party all weekend long. This comes as a relief, seeing how the past few weekends, the choices out there have been less than stellar. So it’s a bit of a surprise that at the height of the summer…
You wouldn’t have noticed it Wednesday night unless you listened closely, but House speaker Nancy Pelosi waited 40 minutes to mention Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. It was a major diss. It hurt. The reason: Pelosi was speaking in Coral Gables to an audience of about 1,200 wealthy Floridians –…
Matthew Garvin This is what happens when the right tries to go left. In one of those “had to be in Miami” moments, Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s tour bus was involved in an accident at 55th and Biscayne Boulevard. When we heard the new here at the New Times,…
