The SEED Food & Wine Festival returns to Miami November 18-22 with a host of dinners, a grand tasting, a burger battle, and even a 5K race through Wynwood. What makes this food event different than others is that all the foods are plant-based (vegan to the uninitiated). If you're...
Between the selfie sticks, the paparazzi, and the endless Instagram hashtags, Art Basel Miami Beach might be the most narcissistic place on Earth this week. Which is why it's appropriate that among the highlights at the fair's 14th edition is a trippy piece by Tomás Saraceno. Titled One Module Cloud...
Sometimes after eating on Miami Beach it’s better to avert your eyes from the bill. Just pay, and avoid the stress of rehashing this island city's notoriously high prices. Your server may have slipped in an extra charge, but it’s little compared to the absurdity rolled up with extra taxes...

Opa-locka, circa 1979. There's a rowdy crowd of mostly black young men standing in anticipation of an illegal drag race. They're like live wires — lines of dudes on motorcycles raring to take off down an unused airstrip. Photographer Charles Hashim isn't concerned about being mauled by the wound-up spectators;...
Despite the controversy he leaves in his path everywhere he goes, Donald Trump is now in first place in the Republican primary in many national polls. Conventional wisdom however had it that there'd be no way he'd be able to take the lead in Florida. For one thing, our former...

Julia Ning dredges and fries juicy chicken thighs in a wispy blend of cornstarch, tapioca starch, and turmeric. The result is gluten-free and healthful. But that's not why the 33-year-old does it. She remembers that it once prepared her and now-shuttered Khong River House chef Sudarat Loasupho for long days...
