Time and time again, singles go out and date people who seem charming, funny, and good-looking. Things are going great until that one lunch date when you realize your potential significant other actually prefers Jimmy John’s to Publix subs and you have to call the whole thing off. Food differences…
Alcoholic or not, you shouldn’t get behind the wheel if you’re not in your right mind. But sometimes the designated driver wants to have fun too and not worry about getting baited at a DUI checkpoint. While the rest of your friends are doing tequila shots at the bar, stick…
The 40-year partnership of McDonald’s and Heinz Ketchup has been one of the longest relationships of our time. With the rise of super-short Hollywood marriages like Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, McDonald’s and Heinz Ketchup was something Americans could rely on. All high-profiles relationships brave smiles in the…
Halloween has passed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t play dress-up and take on a different identity — or sexual identity. Whether you prefer Barbies or G.I. Joes, gender is like Play-Doh: flexible and fun. And to celebrate this plasticity of gender in all its forms and iterations, the Pride…
Trick-or-treating is great until you reach puberty and you start receiving those quizzical stares from neighbors for stampeding around the street in your seventh-grade Tinkerbell costume. And since trick-or-treating requires arduous cardio and the subsequent binge on candy, it seems more enjoyable to spend the evening in air-conditioning and watching…
It’s against the law to steal. And it’s Miami cop Vicki Thomas’ job to make sure people obey this law and every other one on the books. But when the middle-aged cop came across a desperate mother of three stealing groceries at a Publix in Cutler Bay last month, she…
John Strauss stands at the gargantuan grill and throws a mound of shredded red meat down which sizzles when it makes contact with the metal. He sprinkles some grilled onions on too and quickly tosses the blend around with the spatula. The meat and onions begin to brown and white…
At this point, everything has undergone its seasonal pumpkin transformation. Lattes are pumpkin-ized. Pies are pumpkin-ized. And even donuts are being served in appetizing pumpkin spiced flavors. And while that’s all really wonderful, the folks with gluten allergies or Celiac disease are left with a pumpkin-shaped hole in their stomachs…
What’s the point of having a tattoo if it’s hidden under long sleeves and khakis all week? Empire Tattoos agrees and is hosting Power of Ink, an evening swimwear runway show to exhibit the minimalist fashion and the skin art it so conveniently exposes. As the long-limbed models strut back…
It’s no surprise that McDonald’s can whip up a Big Mac five minutes after ordering, but this Lake Wales Micky D’s can also deliver a baby boy in that time too. On the way to a doctor’s appointment last Monday, 20-year-old Shardonnay Hill asked her grandmother to quickly stop at…
Gillete Stadium is a long way away. Like 1,400 miles away. Like a 22-hour-drive-by-car away. No one has the time or gas money for that. So it’s easy to feel left out with all the magic happening over in Foxborough, Massachusetts (especially after their win against the Saints). But it’s…
Just because you can’t compare apples to oranges doesn’t mean you can’t compare both apples and oranges to the size of the fetus growing inside your womb. And the What to Expect app does just that. Once a mommy-to-be inputs her due date, she’ll receive a weekly update about the…
This isn’t L.A., and big-name screenwriters aren’t under every street lamp smoking cigarettes while clad in all-black ensembles. But that doesn’t mean BroCo doesn’t have its own reservoir of untapped film talent waiting to be released to the public. The Adjusted Lens series welcomes the community to Broward College’s South…
Horses are high-maintenance: They smell, they poop, they need to be fed. No one has time for that, especially serious polo players. And even for the less serious polo players, bikes are much cheaper than buying a horse anyway. Granted, bike polo won’t replace Ralph Lauren’s emblem anytime soon, and…
The sun might still be sweltering and some outliers might still be running around in white, but we don’t need the axis to align to know it’s finally fall, because just after Labor Day, Starbucks unleashes its dearly missed Pumpkin Spice Latte. And once it’s unleashed, the town slowly catches…
“You must have a horse,” the Publix cashier says wide-eyed to Andrea Meister, who is purchasing ten pounds of carrots, a bulky bag of apples, four bags of kale, and another bag of spinach. Meister’s face turns bright red, and she leaves the explanation of her vegetable purchase a mystery…
Forty-seven flavors of ice cream is pretty cool, and so are the hand painted tickle-me-pink walls. The giant kaleidoscopic lollipops and miniature choo-choo train are worthy of shout-outs too, but the bathroom at Sloan’s Ice Cream Parlor is where the magic happens. The glass wall exposes the toilet throne to…
Zombies might want to eat your brain and take over the world. But at Zombie Ice Food Truck the only cerebral damage you’ll experience is in the form of a brain freeze. And that’s only if you eat it too fast –which will probably happen because it’s ginormous, sweet, and…
Don’t have a cow, Broward. Seriously. There’s no need, because there’s a reservoir of fresh milk for sale right in your backyard. Just search “breast milk” on Craigslist and pages of lactation pumping devices pop up. But discretely woven between these listings is actual human breast milk for sale by…
If there is one thing Americans love more than their food, it’s their dogs. And it there is something we love even more than our four-legged friends, it’s dressing them up in ridiculous get-ups. Which is why we thought it would be particularly fitting to make a list this Halloween…
Techie types, this is a race for you. While that hot-shot football captain was macking on all the cheerleaders in his letterman jersey, you were playing battleship, all that time you weren’t stuffed in a locker. So if you’re seeking high school revenge against any particular jock, this is the…
We are a long way away from MetLife Stadium, but New York transplants don’t plan on trading the Jets anytime soon. And if they did, it certainly wouldn’t be for the Dolphins — not after Dan Marino’s dirty Fake Spike play in 1994. Over 500 strong, the South Florida Jets…
