Matthew Kenney has called Wynwood's Plant Food + Wine: "the most beautiful restaurant I've ever worked on." After visiting, it's easy to see why the celebrity chef gushes about the locale.

Last April, locals Modernage broke a hiatus with their first show in almost two-and-a-half years .

International music icons and lifelong friends and collaborators, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil will make their first concert appearances as a duo in Miami and Miami Beach this weekend.

A fractured film about a fractured family, Louder Than Bombs takes a potentially tired premise and reshapes it before our eyes. It opens on a newborn’s tiny hand helplessly clinging to a father’s finger, and ends with a different father watching his two sons sleep. In between is a story...
There are many places in Miami that serve Chinese dim sum, but only one restaurant offers an American version. The Sarsaparilla Club at the Shelborne Wyndham Grand South Beach is named for a root that happens to be the main ingredient in root beer. During the appetizer portion of the...
A few weeks ago we were reminded of the fact that "scandals" that seem almost unnoteworthy here in Miami can appear absolutely shocking to the rest of the country. At the time, we were discussing Marco Rubio's many mini-scandals: his coincidental sort-of-connection to amateur gay porn, his spotty driving record,...

With the Florida primary less than two weeks away, about 250,000 Republican voters have already cast their absentee ballots.
