You've tried everything to overcome election-related stress: drinking, exercise, meditation, Ben & Jerry's, more drinking. Nothing has worked — yet. But who knows? Maybe relief awaits you in the form of a giant inflatable White House. Today, a traveling, grownup-size bounce house in the shape of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will...
LIV on Sunday Art Basel edition was out of control as DJ Khaled celebrated his birthday with friends including Future, Fat Joe, Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Carnage, Skrillex, Tyson Beckford, Jim Jones, A$AP Rocky, and Jonathan Cheban.
Fabricated rape allegations — the type where someone falsely accuses another person of rape just to hurt that person — are statistically rare. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center estimates that between 2 and 10 percent of sexual assault allegations are made up, and women's rights activists say the few high-profile fake accusations discourage real survivors of sexual assault from reporting crimes.
"Rob has this ridiculous beard and it’s such great, self-effacing, wonderful work he’s doing," James Gray says about his film recounting the life of a British explorer who disappeared while pursuing his lifelong obsession with a mythical city in the Amazon.
It takes a preposterous amount of gall to dump a gigantic vat of oil into the ocean. It's cartoon-level evil, like something Biff Tannen's toxic-waste company BiffCo from Back to the Future Part II would do. But in real life, that's exactly what a subsidiary of Miami's Carnival Corporation has been doing for years.

A national website this morning ranked Miami the nation's third best "foodie city" just behind Portland Oregon and two slots ahead of San Francisco. No kidding. Wallethub considered 150 cities across the nation in things like cost of groceries, restaurants per capita and specialty stores per capita. Orlando topped the...
Maybe you've waited until the last second to vote. Maybe you were first in line when the polls opened. Either way, you probably don't have an Election Day routine like Paco Palante in "Abuela Votes!" — a Miami-inspired PSA encouraging South Floridians of all ages to cast their ballots today.
Agustina Woodgate sits in the corner of a worn, old futon in her Little River studio, twirling a black glob of myrrh on a toothpick. She sparks the blob occasionally with a lighter, releasing fragrant spirals of smoke. Occasionally, when the incense heats up, she lays it on tiny gray...
In the pantheon of American First Ladies, Jacqueline Kennedy was no Eleanor Roosevelt. She didn’t push for policy, didn’t relinquish her pillbox hat to walk among the needy, didn’t travel to foreign countries as an ambassador and certainly didn’t advise her husband on matters of war. Jackie Kennedy’s role was...
Now that Donald Trump has been elected president, a handful of Miami residents are turning to the internet to crowdfund their way out of the country.
Nearly a year after its launch, Danish-born, healthy fast-food concept Dr Smood is gearing up to open three more locations across Miami. In November, outposts are expected to open inside the Aventura Mall and the Brickell City Centre, followed by a Sunset Harbour shop (1800 Bay Rd., Suite #3) in...

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is a small film burdened with the epic, thanks to both its subject and its setting. Based on Ben Fountain’s 2012 novel, it depicts a day in the life of a young soldier (Joe Alwyn) briefly returning from Iraq to be honored with his squad...
Thursday Anthropological studies need not be reserved for remote tribes and dead civilizations. The unique and diverse milieu of Miami citizens is rife with opportunity for the study of exotic plumage and strange customs. "Tropical Wildlife" will put these studies on display with portraits of our city's fair populace taken...
Move over, South Beach. Miami has a new tourist destination, and it's not yet universally despised by locals. Just five years ago, Wynwood was the kind of place you wanted to be too long after dark. Then artists began moving in, opening galleries, and putting up murals. Soon the relatively small area became a much desired locale for real-estate developer Tony Goldman, the same man who helped turn South Beach and New York City's SoHo into hoppin', shoppin' centers of cultural interest.
Florida's anti-pot lobby is back. And just like in 2014, it's spreading straight-up lies about medical marijuana to try to frighten voters. Two years ago, Amendment 2 netted 58 percent of the vote — just short of the 60 percent it needed to pass. That result likely had something to do...
Donald Trump lied far more often than it seemed during last night's presidential debate. Sure, he was called out for his obvious untruths, like misstating his initial support for the Iraq War, and pretending that crime is at epidemic-level rates when it's actually hitting a low point. But he wasn't...
Last year, Commissioner Juan Zapata got caught using his $930,000 office budget to pay for a $30,000 master’s degree from Harvard, justifying it by saying his constituents would benefit from his continued education. That excuse didn't go over so well. Within days, Zapata was outed by reporter Erika Carrillo of Univision and subsequently...

Celebrating the first anniversary of the Bridge Cocktail Lounge — which has become a permanent part of the Local after its insanely popular one-month pop-up — Thompson and Albuerne have developed 11 drinks to help bring a little winter wonderland to Miami palates now through April.
Since classes started this year, Miami Dade schools have tried desperately to keep kids away from the deadly Zika virus. They've handed out bug spray, encouraged long pants and shirts, and monitored for mosquito breeding grounds. So it was curious to see a proposal from school board member and county...
Thousands of Miamians have taken to the streets since last week to protest Donald Trump. By all accounts, they've been entirely peaceful. Miami Police Commander Albert Guerra even took to Twitter after a Wynwood protest on Saturday to "thank the protesters for peacefully exercising their [First Amendment] right." But the Miami...
The weekend of October 7 looms large for Roberto Carlos Lange, better known onstage as Helado Negro. On top of dropping his latest LP and coming off a string of tour dates opening for Sufjan Stevens, the singer-songwriter will also perform at III Points, the Wynwood music festival famous for...
