Mark Lowe struggled for the right word to capture his idea for Wynwood’s first and only major nightclub. “It’s definitely not a lounge, but I wouldn’t describe it as a megaclub either. It’s really its own entity — it’s a house,” Lowe told New Times. That was 2011. Two years…
Straddling a mountain bike at the corner of 71st Street and Dickens Avenue in North Beach last weekend, a man in sunglasses grinned, grooving to the music blasting in his headphones. His face was canvassed in scruff, and there was a certain street hardness about him. In his dirt-splattered hands…
For years we have thought the Miami Hurricanes were South Florida’s bad boys. Turns out we were wrong. Those seemingly straight-arrow Dolphins are really a big-money fraternity gone wrong. The team suspended guard Richie Incognito Sunday for detrimental behavior. He is part of the Dolphins’ six-player “leadership council” and was…
The Heat went old school on all our asses Sunday night, throwing it all the way back with a 103-93 win over the Washington Wizards. The win was a reminder of the good old victorious days, back in June 2013 when Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” was the number one hit…

Riptide has spent approximately 55 percent of our time this past week reading everything every idiot on the internet has to say about the Miami-FSU game. Did you know Miami’s pass defense is supposed to be the toughest FSU has seen all season? Were you aware that Jameis Winston leads…
On Monday it becomes official. After more than a year of speculations, Charlie Crist is reportedly set to announce he’s running for Governor as a Democrat. What was once Florida’s biggest political “What if?” scenario is actually happening…
Jonathan Martin had enough of his teammate’s bullying. The Dolphins tackle abruptly left the training facility earlier this week and checked himself into a hospital for mental issues. Now Fox Sports reports that Martin was a victim of systematic bullying. His teammates had nicknamed him “Big Weirdo” and insulted his…
The Miami-FSU game doesn’t come with a cutesy nickname. It’s not played on a set weekend or at a neutral location. The campuses, despite sharing a state, are hardly geographically close. Both teams have a rival they hate more (in fact, the same rival). Players seem to have a mutual…
Holy fucking pumpkin seeds, that was crazy! The Dolphins did the most Dolphins-y thing ever by snatching a victory from the jaws of defeat just as they were setting up to yet again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. On a 3rd and 10 and with the Bengals backed…
It’s been a strange week in monkey-related news here in Miami. On Wednesday, state investigators announced they had shut down a black market monkey emporium. Meanwhile, details of a second set of monkey-involved arrests are leaking out. Also on Wednesday, Miami-Dade Police arrested members of animal rights group Smash HLS…
If you’re some libertarian geek you might be interested in Bitcoin as your new form of alternative currency. If you’re a jet-setting billionaire then you probably prefer Miami luxury condos.

Back in 2007, the city of Opa-locka made headlines by passing an ordinance aimed directly at the hip-hop trend of sagging your pants so low that half of your boxer shorts are on public display. Any man caught exposing his underwear in public could be fined $250. Now the city…
Bill Nelson finally dragged his feet to supporting a bill that prevent job discrimination for LGBT citizens, but his fellow Florida senator, Marco Rubio, continues to sip on some watered-down Anita Bryant-style orange juice and has reiterated his opposition to the bill. What’s his excuse? Oh, a bunch of things…
Oh, sure, it’s that time of year when we pretend to be afraid of vampires, mummies and zombies. But let’s not forget who the real monsters are: drunk drivers. Last night, a night some call “Mischief Night,” a drunk driver lost control of his car and careened into the gate…
The luckiest human being in the world lives in Florida. A 67-year-old Florida man has now won the Lotto jackpot not once, but twice. To reiterate: Someone won $10 million last year by guessing a random set of six numbers. This person — not you — collected another $3 million…
VLAAAH!!! Guess what???!!! You get an extra special, ghoulish and scaaaaary Dolphins game on Halloween!! Will you stay home from going to the Grove and looking at countless women in sexy costumes to “enjoy” the game??? PROBABLY NOT. But the friiiiiiightening Dolphins will still be playing a game against the…
North Beach, you’re it, baby. Lord knows I’ve wandered, slumming the Pubbelly restaurants of South Beach, trolling the art galleries of Wynwood, diving the waters of Key Biscayne. But listen, North Beach, I always come back to you. You’re what I want. You’re what I need. You’re it. North Beach:…
Tuesday night the Miami Heat threw an elaborate “We Are The Champions” party at American Airlines Arena, a night that ended in them dominating the Chicago Bulls, and landing in Philadelphia at 3 a.m. Wednesday they woke up, had breakfast, fell down 19-0 to the Philadelphia 76ers, and got their…
Cognac-toting models mingled with baseball superstars in the Biltmore Hotel’s gilded ballroom last week, but as Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez made the rounds, Spanish-language TV reporters wanted to talk about anything but the Hennessy-sponsored drink in his hand. Hours earlier, the Yankees legend had been accused of swindling the City…
At 1 a.m. last Thursday, Miami Beach Police discovered a short, bullish man wandering on the Rivo Alto bridge. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark shirt, and his face was covered in hideous purple bruises. This man — who once sued Goldrush strip club over a $19,000 bar…
