Halloween is a great holiday for all ages, but for some reason we break it up with kids trick-or-treating first and then grownups going out for their own frightfully good time. Tongue & Cheek partner Jamie DeRosa decided that maybe it was about time to throw a party that would…
When craft beer fans visit a city, they scope out the local brewing scene. Miami has a number of established breweries — and several more on the way. We’re ready for some beer tourism. Recognizing this potential, LoKal Burgers and Beer owner Matt Kuscher, his manager David Rodriguez, and Cecilia…
Are you hosting a boo bash this weekend? You’ll need some spirits for your ghoulish guests to sip. Instead of the usual beer and a few bottles thrown on a table, how about crafting a Halloween punch? The Broken Shaker’s Southern Trick punch is made with Atlantico rum, fresh lemons,…

Some dishes were Oak Tavern staples, such as the deviled eggs, pork belly banh mi, and duck pizza. Other offerings were made especially for this brewtastic event: house-made pretzels,…
Miami’s not exactly rife with vegetarian options. There aren’t nearly enough, well, choices. But there’s an exception. Since 2011, Choices Cafe has been providing meatless eats for local herbivores. And now Travel + Leisure has recognized its merits. The national magazine has named the Brickell-area cafe among the top vegetarian…

While some people think Halloween is a kiddie holiday, we disagree. We think it heats up long after the children are tucked safely in bed, faces washed of excess chocolate. Because it is then that the spirits come out to play. And by “spirits” we mean the ones that come…
It’s impossible to miss the mimosas at OTC, the year-old Brickell sensation. On a recent Sunday morning, they adorn every table on the porch like fizzy orange vases. The line of patrons is equally obvious. A young crowd clusters by the restaurant’s counter and forms a string of cool kids…

At last night’s Miami Tequila Express, we shuttled around the city in a bus and visited four spots: Baoli, Haven, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, and Mercadito Midtown.

Rumors were circulating that Gordon Biersch Brewery & Restaurant might close its sole Miami location all through the summer, but until now they were shot down by the brewpub chain’s spokespeople. When we didn’t spot the restaurant at this past weekend’s Grovetoberfest, that should have been a dead giveaway. Yesterday,…
