Give the iPhone an Afternoon Off

In our smartphone-dependent culture, awareness often means remembering to check in on Foursquare (hey, that Starbucks mayorship isn’t going to maintain itself, you know). This Sunday’s Peace in the Park — Festival of Spirit makes the plea for taking a few hours to detach from negative vibes — and electronic…

Rolling on the River

Motor-boating shots off nubile coeds’ bodies is a Fort Liquordale spring-break rite of passage. This weekend’s other — more family-friendly — spring ritual is 100 percent motor free (though there is great potential for a wet T-shirt contest of sorts). The second-annual Rotary New River Raft Race is a mad…

South Florida’s St. Patrick’s Day Party Guide

It’s time to bust out the obnoxiously awesome striped top hat and green leisure suit out of storage: St. Patrick’s Day is Sunday, March 17, and South Florida is ready to parrrrtttty. If the whole “amateur hour” aspect of drinking in public on St. Patty’s Day isn’t a huge turnoff,…

Picking Drain’s Brain

Using found and recycled materials to create original works of art is a precarious habit. Too often, the finished piece resembles something an aging hippie would concoct using old records, pipe cleaners, and the remnants of a bad acid flashback. Not the case with Jim Drain, an internationally acclaimed artist…

Because Disney World is Pretty Friggin’ Expensive

The Wearing (and Drinking) of the Green

It’s time to dust off that obnoxious (read: awesome) green top hat and shamrock suspenders and dance a little jig down to the Pub Pembroke for some St. Patrick’s tomfoolery. Pretend your ancestors came over from the Emerald Isle as you toast in a mumbled “Irish” lilt with a glass…

Good Cause, Questionable Name

The “50 Shades of Insert-Reference-to-Whatever” has officially jumped the shark. Want to know the final nail in that innuendo’s coffin? Its use in a fundraising event for a children’s charity. Unfortunate naming aside, the 50 Shades of Giving luncheon on Friday is designed to raise money for the Children’s Opportunity…

Top Ten Irish Bars

Click for a slideshow of the Field Irish Bar & Eatery. It can be hard to relate to Ireland’s rolling green hills and blustery cliffside villages, but if there’s one thing South Florida understands, it’s how to raise a glass and toast to a damned good time. Perhaps that’s why…

Ten Best Irish Pubs & Restaurants in South Florida

It can be hard to relate to Ireland’s rolling green hills and blustery (and often impossibly charming) cliffside villages, but if there’s one thing South Florida understands, it’s how to raise a glass and toast to a damned good time. Perhaps that’s why this hot, flat state is home to…
