Wilkinson Sejour plunks his brawny arms on a paper-scattered desk, grins mischievously, and asks his buddy, who’s smoking a blunt, to fetch him a Corona. It’s a Wednesday at 11 a.m., and Sejour’s cell phone rings every five minutes. When he answers, his words jumble Calle Ocho slang with Kreyol…

Remember Funyuns? The onion-ring-shaped snack with the mouthfeel of Styrofoam was a childhood favorite, secretly purchased instead of a nutritious snack with mom’s lunch money and usually washed down with an extra-large Mountain Dew. What ever became of Funyuns? Well, Marc Hochman, cohost of the Ticket’s Hochman & Zaslow morning…
You’re a true Miamian if you drive like shit, bang on pots and pans when the Miami Heat wins, and prefer your guarapo with a side of chicharrón. You’re from Miami if you follow tío Pepe on Twitter, know the best cafecitos in every zip code, and eat churros con…

Soon, Lester’s was…
Move over, corporate coffee chains and crappy pizza joints — Urban Oxy has moved into South Beach. The locally focused café serves cold brew, homemade pizza-by-the-slice, and fresh-baked pastries — much-needed additions to the tourist-trap-ridden Washington Avenue.
