I’ve got an idea for a new reality show. It’s called The Real Housewives of Boca Raton, and it could be filmed almost exclusively inside Vivo Partenza. Think about it: Those “Real Housewives” shows are all about wealthy socialites living out their dramatic lives. And I can’t imagine a better…
Hold on to your beaded necklaces: It’s time for the 26th-annual Arti Gras Fine Arts Festival. The much-celebrated blowout will gather more than 150,000 art fanatics in Abacoa Town Center this Saturday through Monday, but unlike that other “gras,” don’t expect to find drunken dudes coercing women into disrobing for…
Thanks to relatively small waves and gentle tides, South Florida has never been known as a surfing destination. But those tranquil conditions do make our coastline ideal for another high-intensity water sport: skim boarding. Like the love child of surfing and skating, skim boarding combines the rush of riding atop…
Rejoice, all ye sports fans! America’s most venerable holiday, Super Bowl Sunday, is finally upon us. A time for family, friends, and food, the Super Bowl is just like Christmas… only with way more Cheez Whiz sculptures and commercials that make nut shots on America’s Funniest Home Videos look like…
Let’s get something straight about Angus Bar and Grill: It’s all about the chimichurri. That bright-green slurry of parsley, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil is all-important at the 3-month-old restaurant. Piquant and herbal, its flavor is something like a sharper, sunnier pesto. Slathered atop a massive hunk of charred beef,…
Some people were born to be attorneys, ophthalmologists, or even shoe salesmen. But Joe Posa? He was born to strap on an evening gown and a blond wig and sashay across the red carpet like a Pekingese on speed. That’s because Posa is a female celebrity impersonator — and one…
The Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival is less than a week away, and with it comes over a hundred amazing craft beers from Florida as well as nationwide. With that many brews on tap, making your way from booth to booth sampling will be something like a scavenger hunt. To cross…
More beers, a larger local contingent, and a much bigger space are all on the docket for this year’s Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, going down January 28 and 29 at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter. Oh and plenty of drinking, dancing, and people dressed as Trappist monks. That too.The annual festival began…
We think about superheroes as musclebound men and women parading around in spandex underwear, rescuing the innocent from wrongdoing at the hands of diabolical villains. But true heroes are more subtle. Instead of skull-cracking baddies to a soundtrack of thwacks and boffs, they’re giving our children safe environments to live…
If Hollywood ever chose to reboot Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Who Stole Christmas yet again, the part of the titular green meany would have to go to comedian Lewis Black. Think about it: The curmudgeonly Daily Show veteran is known for his malcontent disposition and vein-popping canter, but inside, he’s…
While temperatures across South Florida have been sinking into boots-and-mittens territory, the Miami Heat has ignited. After taking a drubbing in late November at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks, the Three Kings and their entire entourage went on a tear, winning 12 straight games in December, some by truly…
If you’ve tuned in to Fox News lately — or its regularly scheduled skewering via the Daily Show — you may have heard that there’s a war on Christmas. Apparently, what the liberal pagans who secretly run this country from a clandestine bunker under New York City really want is…
With a beautiful view of the Atlantic, a smart head chef, and a killer location in the Marriott Harbor Beach Hotel, Sea Level has got it going on. Constructed in 2009 to complement the hotel’s successful fine dining seafood restaurant, 3030 Ocean, Sea Level is a stunning modern building that…
When I brought my friend Eric to La Rosa Nautica in Boca Raton, he immediately wondered if the tiny, Peruvian boîte had any connection to the famous restaurant of the same name in Lima, Peru. I thought it unlikely. The La Rosa Nautica he was talking about sits on the…
I have to wonder if the people behind Tokyo Blue have ever heard of the Japanese concept of ma. It’s the idea that, in art as well as in life, what you leave out is equally as important as what you add. Think of ma as negative space — the…
It seems like new food trucks are rolling out every week in Miami, from churro trucks to ice cream to trucks that make exceptional grilled cheese. It’s enough to make you wonder: Where are they all coming from?Well, one of the women behind the influx of trucks is Tania Ramirez…
Our feature story this week on South Florida’s food trucks covered one of the original trucks operating in Broward and Palm Beach, Delray’s the Rolling Stove. Fire-engine red with a faux-smoke stack that stands high above the truck’s shady awning, the Stove serves hearty, heavy, Midwest-inspired street food of the…
Andrew and Ashley got our Where Were We Eating from Monday correct: The picture on the left was taken at Wilton Manors’ own Rosie’s Bar & Grill.I said it used to be a hamburger joint, and Rosie’s was: In its former life, it was Hamburger Mary’s, a place that won a…
Las Olas’ Johnny V is putting a new spin on the beer- and wine-pairing thing. Tuesday, December 7, at 7 p.m., the restaurant will host “Micro Beer Versus Micro Juice,” a five-course dinner in which each course comes with both a beer and wine pairing. Double fisting? Sounds decadent. But…
