With 2 days left in our spring campaign, we have a new $10,000 goal!
New Times members have already contributed more than $7,500 - can you help us hit our new goal and keep New Times free and in print every week? If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today.
If you’ve been noticing some weirder-than-usual news coming at you today, better double check the calendar!
That’s right, bitches — it’s April Fools’ Day and there were plenty of websites and companies that punked us, but good. We especially liked Twitter wanting to charge for vowels and Google’s new smell-technology. Kudos to Sprint for their new ultra-high-tech specs, too!
But, of course, our favorites are food-related and many local blogs got in on the action. Here are our favorites:
Burger Beast /a> went meatless with his new Vegan Vulture site.
Miami Power Rankings bumped Naoe and added some new favorites like Bahama Breeze, Chicken Kitchen, and Hooters. Our only question: With all the cheesy restaurants in Miami, why add Fin and Q — two restaurants that have been closed for ages — to the list?
Chat Chow went for a feline audience with their switch to an all-cat format for the day.
OMG! We received so many emails about In-and-Out Burger’s expansion to Miami. Too bad it’s fake, folks! Thanks for the let-down the305.com. We had our hopes dashed to the ground.
We thought we were being clever — until Eater Miami caught on. We sooo would have eaten at Kravings, too!
Clean Plate Charlie announced the opening of a Mad Men themed cocktail lounge at Fort Lauderdale airport where if you get too drunk, a shock collar will wake you for your flight. Also a fake.
