What makes a world-class city? According to Eye On Miami, a city can have all the stadiums and museums it wants, but if it can’t provide its citizens with basic needs and services, achieving world-class status is out of reach: You can build a hundred stadiums but as long as…
In a time of such economic strife, I say screw the beef! Instead of dinner out on the town, I suggest one blow their shrinking wads of indulgence-flow on the savory, sweet nectar of catastrophe — booze. Yet, New Times doesn’t want you to waste your hard-earned cash on crap,…
Manny Ramirez is headed to the Marlins! A deal is close! Sources are saying it’s only a matter of time! Here we go! Ready? And…. the deal is dead. The Red Sox sent him to L.A. instead. Sad trombone sound Okay, so the Manny to the Marlins thing didn’t happen…
There is only one word that could describe last weekend: Boring. It was so boring, personally I went to bed most nights by 1 a.m. Come on Miami! I know we are at the height of the low season, but that doesn’t mean we have to get lazy. Unfortunately, things…
UPDATE: Sorry, Fish fans dreaming of a summer watching Manny being Manny in Dolphin Stadium. Looks like the ManRam will be looking for the best place to take a leak behind the outfield wall in sunny Chavez Ravine instead. According to ESPN, the eccentric slugger is headed to the Dodgers…
In yesterday’s Miami Spice post, New Times food critic Lee Klein compared the dining deal to the sort of bargain he usually encounters when he brings his car in to be repaired. In Part 2, he breaks down the Spice choices to the best and worst deals. There are 106…
Each year around this time, upon being handed my first Miami Spice menu of the season, I think of Ernie. Ernie is my car mechanic. “Broken radiator hose,” he’ll say with a furrow across his brow. “That’ll cost you 300,” and without even looking up to see the stunned look…
Contest closes tomorrow! Sign up now. With Rock The Bells only a few weeks away happening Saturday, we here at the New Times are feeling a bit generous. We are giving away a pair (read ’em, two) of tickets to the show at Bicentennial Park, Saturday, August 2. Scheduled to…
Greetings from Massachusetts! I don’t love to compare cities with awesome bicycle accommodations to Miami’s developing status, but I’ve been lucky enough to pedal around Boston this weekend and figured this would be a good chance to cover what’s going on outside of South Florida. I’ve not had the pleasure…
Now it’s just getting ridiculous. The Marlins continue to prove that no lead is safe against them, no matter the competition, no matter the odds. With the NL East leading Mets in town, the Fish took the first game of a three-game set last night with yet another tap the…
The Hotel in South Beach wished upon a star, and it looks like they’ve got one. Marco Ferraro, just named the new executive chef of the property’s Wish restaurant, has what they call in the business “the chops.” There are numerous ways to achieve chopdom, and Mr. Ferraro seems to…
Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustin’ With The Godmother (Rakontur) On the DVD commentary of Cocaine Cowboys 2, rakontur director Billy Corben describes the aesthetic difference between CC1 and CC2 as East Coast versus West Coast. Because the first film revolved around Miami in the ’80s, it was made to feel like…
Miami, a city that has inspired numerous crime-driven TV shows, plenty of bad movies and countless rap videos. And why wouldn’t it? It’s sunny city laced with danger — and plenty of coke. So it goes without saying, plenty of songs have been written about our fair city. I’ve narrowed…
The sky was falling on local hipsters the weekend, as The Vagabond was shut down by the fire department after an acoustic ceiling panel fell on a patron. Don’t worry, I hear she’s is doing fine. But Vagabond’s closure didn’t help an already lackluster weekend. Still, there were some hidden…

Dino Felipe No Fun Demo (No Fun) Hard-to-please, self-righteous Web site Pitchfork gave local musician Dino Felipe’s latest release No Fun Demo a 7.2 out of 10, which for Pitchfork is a-fucking-mazing. Reviewer Marc Masters calls Felipe’s latest effort “his poppiest [release] to date,” adding “Felipe rarely deviates from his…
Word around town is there was an accident at The Vagabond (30 NE 14th Street, Miami) last night. Various sources have told me someone got injured, and then this was posted at 5:56 a.m. by The Vagabond via MySpace: Hello friends, Last night, an unfortunate incident happened where a ceiling…
I recently saw Chef Allen at an event and thought to myself, “Hmm, he’s getting on in years; now might be a good time for some nip-and-tuck.” Well, wouldn’t you know that he’s gone ahead and done just that. Oh, wait a minute, sorry — I read the release wrong…
The Miami Herald isn’t the only daily in the United States hurting these days because of lack of subscriptions and advertisers. But the question is, is the Herald doing everything in its power to hold on to its readership? Random Pixels has a few ideas on how the Herald can…
Summer might seem like the enemy of Miami’s pretty people – just step foot outside and see how long your makeup stays intact. Just because it’s hot enough to melt a matte lipstick on your dashboard, doesn’t mean you should be stuck indoors. So look out weekend! Here we come…
