Valentine's Day is here, and if you're planning a dinner alone tonight, don't fret. It's not you — it's Miami! Despite our city's swaying palm trees and balmy evenings tinged with a hint of seaspray, Miami apparently sucks in the romance department — at least according to Instacart.
The best time of the week is finally here — the weekend. The next three days are filled with music, art, parties, and boozy beverages galore. From Coral Gables to Little Havana to South Beach, these are the best places to be until the sun comes up Monday morning.
As the heat index reached 110 degrees this past August, Cathleen Parra stood attention at the side of an outdoor dance floor on New York's Governors Island. Her job, she says, was "to make sure no one was getting too rowdy." At first, Parra, a burlesque artist who performs under...

If you’re queer or in the know, you’ve likely spent the third Sunday of any month in the past two years at the Corner in downtown Miami, having a kiki with every king and queen during Counter Corner. Behind the bar, you’ve found Sleeper, pouring drinks and chatting with everyone who passes by at the event that he and Juleisy y Karla founded. What you might not know is just how interesting he is.
Wins haven't been easy to come by for the Miami Heat this season, but according to a new study, Heat fans keep winning off the court. They don't need science to prove they are among the best fans in all of sports — but science keeps stepping in to prove it's true.

It's safe to say that Miami had a rough summer. Between an insane heat index and the threat of Zika looming over Wynwood and South Beach, not many restaurants opened during our historical slow months. In September, however, Miami started to come back from its doldrums. Wynwood is alive and...
Thursday Art and politics are almost inextricable in Cuba, largely because the postrevolution government oscillated between brutally censoring artists and enthusiastically championing the arts. This is why looking at Cuban art can feel like looking into an alternate reality — movements like pop art and surrealism are recognizable enough, but...
During the second presidential debate, in early October, Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton “a fighter.” He said, “She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up.” While that’s very much true, the same can be said of Bernie Sanders, who’s endured quite a few blows, many of them from his own party.

Tons of Miamians start their own businesses. Many maybe dream of running worldwide empires out of corner offices in Brickell office buildings. Turns out few of those would-be empires ever grow to employ more than 5 people. Back in August, The Kauffman Index crowned Miami America's second hottest metro for...

Woodrow Wilson described D.W. Griffith’s notorious Civil War epic Birth of a Nation as “writing history with lightning.” Gary Ross’ Free State of Jones, which covers roughly the same period as Griffith’s film, is more like writing history with index cards.
