Despite the bad economy, the city is buzzing with rumors about nightclubs opening and closing. There is already a deathlist circulating of mostly South Beach clubs that soon will be shutting their doors due to poor sales. We aren’t going to mention names, but any place that is relying heavily…
We aren’t entirely sure what has happened, but Twitter updates from Cocaine Cowboys producer Alfred Spellman indicate that a piece ceiling in the Fontainebleau’s lobby, near the entrance to LIV, has caved in.

Miami is a city of vanity — we accept that as fact, even if it’s a poor quality. But Bravo’s new series, Miami Social, takes that attribute and runs with it. In a three-minute preview posted on its website, the cast provides enough cringe-worthy moments that it left Riptide feeling…

Memorial Day in Miami is like the elephant in the room. Nobody admits they don’t want to party in South Beach this weekend for fear of coming off as racist. Well, you are. You aren’t going to get shanked, stabbed, cut, mugged or shot at if you cross the causeway…
