Week after week, Americans tune in to watch Dancing With the Stars waiting to see which celebrity will make it to the next round of the tango. However, there is only so much excitement to be had over a bunch of reality-TV stars. It’d probably be more fun to cheer…
Try as you might, you could never feasibly hit up more than two dozen culinary destinations in one night – at least, not without accruing a hefty dinner bill and a few speeding tickets along the way. The Greater Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce Fine Food and Wine Festival tonight…
Staging Shakespeare today – and wrapping our 21st-century dialects around all of those arcane phrases – is difficult enough. But staging a full Shakespeare play with six actors performing 18 parts?

Edward Albee is one of America’s greatest dramatists, but only a handful of his 30-plus plays ever see production here or anywhere else. If he were a musician, his greatest-hits collection would be an EP. Not content to mount yet another Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? or The Zoo Story,…

Heidi Murkoff’s mega-best-selling manual, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, actually makes perfect sense as a vehicle for Hollywood, an industry banked on bathroom humor. But while the book’s journey ends with the beginning of a new life, the movie leaves you hoping for a swift end to your own…
There’s something a little unnerving about seeing a show like “Phillip Estlund: Subprime/Subtropics” so close to the beginning of tropical storm season in South Florida. For those of us who’ve survived a hurricane or two (or three or four), his exhibition is an uncomfortable reminder of our vulnerability, not to…
Every bar, burger joint, and gastropub tries to lay claim to serving the best burger in the state, but unless they can prove it in the heat of battle, it’s really just a hollow proclamation. See which South Florida burger-braggers are willing to put their money where their mouths are…
You’ve probably considered spending a night out like the LMFAO dudes sing about: an endless flow of shots, shots, and, well, more shots while you lose your mind. Well, it seems a party monster genie has just hopped out of his tequila-filled lamp to grant you that wish. Club KO…

While the game of polo may conjure up images of people clad in jerseys, tight pants, and helmets galloping along on horseback handling a long mallet in Wellington, there’s another game that spins away from this tradition. Hardcourt bike polo is a recreational sport in which horses are replaced with…

Remember when word Arab made you think of Robin Williams? No? Odd… what about Robin Williams as a shape-shifting blue genie and all the colorful, fun, monkey-wielding goodness that came from Abu and Prince Ali? (Ya know, Ali? Fabulous he? Ali Ababwaaaaaaaa!?) Sadly, outside of the totally accurate-and-in-no-way-fantasized account of…
