Late last month, Enriqueta's Sandwich Shop owner José Plá quietly pushed the closing time of his humble NE Second Avenue operation from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Though this change might not mean much to the place's huge breakfast and lunch crowd, it's some of the most interesting news to come to Edgewater since its denizens learned just how much of the area was controlled by one Russian billionaire. It also means the ballooning populations in midtown and Edgewater can now grab an early dinner at Enriqueta's.

On the surface, it seems like a clever move: getting rich developers to cover the costs of public art. But scratch the veneer, opponents say, and a new phase of the City of Miami's Art in Public Places plan is at best a mess of unnecessary red tape — and...
So, uh, bodies might be buried in the backyard of a historic pump house on Miami's Upper Eastside. The building, which was built in the 1920s, at one time was the home of serial killer Robert Bowman, and a New Times feature story published this week details that when cops were questioning Bowman in 1982 over the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl from Ohio, Bowman said he had killed someone else and buried the body behind the pump house.
In the run-up to this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Bong Joon-ho’s Okja was one of the most mysterious titles in the Official Competition lineup. Then, after people had seen it, Okja turned out to be … one of the most mysterious titles in the Official Competition lineup. Now that it's...
"Miamians are savages." I'll never forget those words, uttered to me by a Hialeah Metrorail station janitor. How a city handles public transit says a lot about its culture. I’m referring to not only the agency that runs transit — surely, that can’t be easy — but also the riders themselves.
Last week's "How One Famed Hollywood Restaurant Became the National Center for the Mob" catalogued the rise of Broward's Gold Coast Restaurant as the Southern headquarters for the mob.

In March, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle decided not to charge four state prison guards who oversaw the death of Darren Rainey, a black prisoner with severe schizophrenia who multiple witnesses said had been placed in a scalding-hot prison shower and burned to death. Rainey had been serving a nonviolent cocaine-possession sentence.
All political scandals run through Miami. The Magic City is a lawless Casablanca of sorts, a town where the world's worst rich people all congregate, party together, and hatch crackpot schemes to defraud taxpayers and/or tip presidential races. In 2000, a bunch of GOP operatives caused a ruckus outside County...
You might think karaoke is limited to cheap bars with crackling sound systems and slow Tuesday nights, but things are changing. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is starting to feel out of touch 25 years after its revival in Wayne's World. N'Sync and Britney covers stopped being cute and ironic long before they became just sad. And, hey, except for board games, karaoke is the whitest way to pass time at a bar.
If there are two things Floridians are fantastic at, it's wrestling alligators and racketeering. This week, New Times chronicled one group of particularly enterprising Sunshine State residents who combined the two: an alligator-thieving ring that took the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission two years of undercover tracking to nab.
Hayley Kiyoko takes some time out of her Sunday afternoon to tell a moving story about one of last night's fan encounters. "I used to hide in my bedroom and listen to your music on low because I didn't want my mom to hear me," a young girl told Kiyoko...
In the courtyard of an oddly palatial, Spanish-style ophthalmology office in Palm Springs, Florida, a man in an open-front vest and gray face paint stands on the edge of a gurgling water fountain. Suddenly, he swings a roundhouse kick at an older man in a bowler hat and a long...

James Eric McDonough, a South Miami-Dade activist with a doctorate in organic thermochemistry, has received little but trouble since reporting a Homestead Police officer for speeding in 2012. He's been thrown out of public meetings, harassed, and even had to sue Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle for threatening to arrest him for recording a conversation with Homestead Police Chief Al Rolle.
This year's mosquito season is shaping up to be a doozy already: Black salt marsh mosquitoes, which do not carry tropical diseases like the Zika virus or Dengue fever, arrived a few weeks earlier than usual. The bugs swarm in clouds thick enough to suffocate livestock, and Dade Mosquito Control...
Construction is nearly complete on one of Miami’s latest cultural landmarks, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), located in the heart of the Design District. As museum staffers ready to move the permanent collection and operations from their temporary home in the Moore Building to the new space, the curators promise to provide programming that engages local audiences and speaks to the global contemporary art Zeitgeist. It's a tall order for a young museum, especially one fraught with birthing pains.
Here’s how a fan magazine might profile the hero of The Last Tycoon (Amazon), played by Matt Bomer. His name belongs in marquees, but he deserves a place somewhere higher. Monroe Stahr toils as an angel on Earth, making dreams come true every day as a producer at Brady-American Pictures...
In 2015, Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade's sixth studio album, Hasta la Raiz, won five Latin Grammys, more than anyone else. Unlike some winners who let their trophies collect dust in a dark corner, Lafourcade proudly displays them.
While you've been sitting at your stupid desk all week, thousands of sunburned Midwesterners have been bonging beer and Instagramming selfies at the beach for spring break. It's unfair, but you can't blame them for taking advantage of the weeklong rite of passage while they're young and their livers are still somewhat virginal.

Follow your nose to No Name Chinese. There is no sign marking the restaurant that Uvaggio Wine Bar owners Heath Porter and Craig DeWald opened in late May near South Miami's Sunset Place. Instead, as you wander away from the teen-thronged shopping complex, the air fills with the scent of...
Save Southern Heritage is a national network committed to keeping monuments to the pro-slavery South alive and gleaming across the nation. At least one member of the group from Virginia attended last weekend's Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where mobs of white nationalists beat people with sticks and drove a car into dozens of peaceful counterprotesters.
