Are you tired of collection companies harassing you during your lunch break or pesky foreclosure notices being stapled to the front door of your house? Then New World School of the Arts has a temporary cure for your depressing financial situation. Students from New World will be performing in two…
Sure, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival gets all the foodie shine in February. Certainly, that festival is unparalleled in its opportunities for hobnobbing while overindulging. But when it ends, it leaves a dry husk of South Beach in its wake, with some extra clean-up duty and unwanted weight…
What does Coconut Grove taste like? Probably one-half left-over granola from its bohemian heyday in the ’60s, plenty of beer and chicken wings with an extra side of college recklessness, and a bit of seafood fresh off a megayacht docked at the marina. Oh, and a sprinkling of international cuisine…
Blues, brews and barbecue. Really, is there anything more a man needs in life? Well, you need five bucks to get into the first annual Blues, Brews and Barbecue bash, set for Saturday and Sunday, April 16 and 17, at Homestead’s Fruit & Spice Park. Gates open at 10 a.m…
And speaking of rock-star chefs, nobody shreds a recipe like Miami’s own Michael Schwartz, whose Michael’s Genuine Food cookbook is putting his genuinely good eats in the hands of home cooks everywhere. You can learn to rock ‘n’ roll in your own kitchen when the chef does an interactive culinary…
Things are heating up at 1500 Degrees, the farm-to-table with a carnivorous bent restaurant at Miami Beach’s posh Eden Roc, where Roc-star chef Paula DaSilva is putting together a four-course dinner (plus pre-meal munchies) featuring five wines from Napa’s superlative Mi Sueno Winery. The festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. on…
Sure the 1950s were rampantly racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, and conservative times in American history. But they also brought us classic pin-up culture. Maybe all that pent up energy from sexual repression found expression in the emergence of wild rock n roll, rhythm and blues, and dancing styles that crossed over…
Many of life’s greatest offering come in pairs. Think about it, boobs, balls, and all drinks at the News Lounge on Mondays. We’re talkin’ beer, wine, and cocktails people. The economy is fucked up, and you will be too by the time you leave this hip and trendy joint in…
Pittsburghers have more points of civic pride than most cold-weather industrial towns. Their Steelers are arguably the model franchise of the NFL (Ben Roethlisberger not withstanding), their Penguins are the NHL’s defending Stanley Cup champions, and hometown rapper Wiz Khalifa’s massive hit, “Black and Yellow,” had the whole world repping…
Suck the head; eat the tail. That’s a phrase that will be heard at Tobacco Road — we mean more than usual, of course — during Sunday’s 11th annual Crawfish Boil. There are plenty of ways to gorge on crawfish — AKA crayfish, crawdads, mudbugs, or whatever you call those…

We have a hunch that in a past life, we were a virgin thrown into a volcano. We must still hold a grudge, because that’s the last time we sacrificed our comfort for Mother Earth. These days, we can barely muster the energy to recycle our yogurt containers, let alone…
Ever since Ultra Music Festival wrapped, you’ve been dry-heaving, bumping into inanimate objects, and having random acid flashbacks of a cop and a Native American delivering a pregnant cowboy’s baby. But you still want to party, because, dammit, you like the nightlife and you like to boogie. Well, you’re in…
Want change in Cuba? Forget ineffective legislation and international embargoes. You’re better off starting with something young. Something subversive, maybe with a bit of anarchy thrown in. Something that stimulates both the physical and emotional. Something like skateboarding. Huh? That’s right. You’d be hard-pressed to find a subculture on the…
Last year, the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade featured “Legacy Couples,” LGBT lovebirds who have been together for 20-plus years. As the aging couples drove by, emotions were evident on the faces in the crowd — a crowd that is constantly told that only straight people are permitted to enter…
Don’t let the fancy haircut fool you — Yanni is one bad mothereffer. He once used a Hammond B-2 organ to eviscerate an unruly concertgoer, surfed the guy’s guts across the stage, and then ran off with the dude’s old lady. The next week, he took off with her sister…
While preparing a midcareer retrospective of conceptual artist Glenn Ligon for the Whitney Museum of American Art, Scott Rothkopf didn’t just select pieces from jpegs and transparencies. He journeyed all over the United States — rifling through museum vaults, collectors’ homes, and storage facilities — to cull works for the…
Whether chronicling the total badassness of the Miami Hurricanes’ football dominance during the ’80s in The U or exploring the highs (ahem) and lows of our city’s dubious marriage with cocaine trafficking in Cocaine Cowboys, filmmaker Billy Corben knows how to mine the depths of the Magic City’s rich and…
You might not know Tommy Davidson by name, but as soon as you see his bugged-out eyes, squarish head, and emaciated frame, you’ll remember him from the Wayan brothers’ sketch comedy show, In Living Color, or as the overcaffeinated tribal warrior in Ace Venture Pet Detective II: When Nature Calls…
The Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, and the Dover Demon. History books are filled with sightings of sinister, horned creatures believed to be Satan. But old Beelzebub probably looks a lot more like Gov. Rick Scott than anything on four legs. That’s why I Saw the Devil, the latest from South…
Pittsburghers have more points of civic pride than most cold-weather industrial towns. Their Steelers are arguably the model franchise of the NFL (Ben Roethlisberger not withstanding), their Penguins are the NHL’s defending Stanley Cup champions, and hometown rapper Wiz Khalifa’s massive hit, “Black and Yellow,” had the whole world repping…
In September 2007, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter rescued Kirby Archer and Guillermo Zarabozo from a life raft drifting near the coast of Cuba. The two wove an unbelievable tale about pirates attacking their boat and murdering the captain, his wife, and two crew members before ditching their bodies overboard…
