The low-rise warehouse district on East 45th Street in Hialeah is filled with noisy clutter from auto mechanics' shops and cafeterias during the day. But on a recent Saturday night, the humid air was glued to the concrete. It was quiet. At 11th Avenue, the faint vibrations of hip-hop bass...

The staff, comprised mostly of friendly students from neighboring Johnson & Wales University, is on call and eager. It's just a matter of setting the opening date.

Almost overnight, seats at a nicked wooden counter within earshot of Calle Ocho's racket have become a hot commodity. Diners order yeasty, sweet Singha beer and sit back to watch 42-year-old Bas Trisransi toss needlelike vermicelli noodles into a ripping-hot wok that spits orange flames. Moments later, the slender chef,...

Florida has gone almost 10 years since receiving a direct hit from a hurricane. The last time a cane actually touched our shores was when Hurricane Wilma made landfall in late October 2005. That's an awfully long (though not necessarily scientifically strange) gap for hurricanes in Florida. The world and...
Al Holden's 34-foot yacht, M/V Close Knit, bobbed as he prepared a meal of chicken and dumplings. On his way to Key West, the Canadian had threaded his way off the Intracoastal Waterway and found a sweet spot to drop anchor. Sunset Lake is situated right between mainland Miami Beach...
Miami might be facing its first hurricane in a decade, but that's not stoping Locust Projects from opening up two new shows this weekend.

The Toxic Avenger is one of the greatest bad movies of all time. It's a film best appreciated after hours, in a dorm room, and under the influence of something. It's also the signature title in the durable canon of B-movie distributor Troma — a studio that, among other sundry...
Art (for the most part) makes a very basic assumption: that people experiencing it have the ability to see. But what about the visually impaired? How can they access traditionally optical mediums?
