This Friday from 6 to 10 p.m., Little Ayiti comes together for a night of Caribbean arts…

There is no greater Christmas movie than A Christmas Story. Don’t even try to argue the point. Forget the shmaltzy sap of Miracle on 34th Street and the pathetic vulgarity of Bad Santa. Love Actually is a rom-com cheesefest, It’s a Wonderful Life is about a guy who wants to…

What better way for the world to end than in an orgy of food-truck deliciousness? That’s the inspiration behind Food Truckalypse, a pre-zombie apocalypse event kicking off at Amelia Earhart Park (401 East 65th St., Hialeah) this Friday, AKA doomsday. Think of it as your last meal. At this foodie…

For Miami basketball fans, it might be difficult to tear away from inbound extended family, reruns of Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and other holiday distractions to give much attention to the Miami Heat. But ’tis the season for some monster NBA matchups and the mark of the beginning of the…

Sunday marks the final home game for the Miami Dolphins, and it’s time to reflect on another playoff-less season. It’s been a decade of pain for the Dolphins, and fans are letting the city’s former favorite team know that year after year of losing football will turn its fan base…

There are holiday traditions you dread, like suffering through a crowded Christmas mass or helping your handsy Aunt Victoria get to bed after she’s had a few too many. And then there are the ones you can’t wait to experience again, like George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, presented annually by Miami…

On Christmas Day, we eat Chinese food. On the day after Christmas, we eat Chinese brains. At least that could be a new tradition starting this year, when Keep It Classic brings A Cadaver Christmas to O Cinema (90 NW 29th St., Miami). Christmas is a time for togetherness, and…

If you’re a wage slave toiling as a receptionist, a barista, or even an office drone in a hive collective, you’ve probably never been immortalized in a contemporary artwork. But back when industry ruled, workers were a popular subject of artists, who often captured people at their daily jobs to…
