It’s #FloridaBeerFriday, where we take a look at a beer brewed in the Sunshine State, giving analysis to the burgeoning craft-beer movement of Florida. The winter ale, or winter warmer, style of beer is one that is a personal favorite. Brews with big malt bodies for those warm Florida winters…
Congratulations, you made it through New Year’s Eve — and yet another work week. You might as well give yourself a pat on the back to celebrate. Or better yet, a drink or three. Whether you’re looking to do celebrate the full moon this month, take a culinary tour, or…
As the year comes to a close, we have a final tally of the last batch of restaurant openings and closings of the year. Throughout 2014, we both welcomed, and said goodbye, to dozens of establishments across South Florida. We were able to cheer on new locations for our favorites…

Lists. They’re what the internet is made of. Readers love clicking on them, reading them, commenting on them, and sharing them. We love researching and writing them. So, after taking a tour of our 2014 lists we began to feel very Tolkien-esque. We thought, perhaps… One list to list to…

January is imminent, which means your Facebook feed is full of summations about the year behind us — lists upon lists upon lists judging 2014 by various criteria. The best of this, the worst of that, the most whacked out Floridian nonsense. We love lists, so we’re adding to your…

Each December, vegan lifestyle magazine VegNews names its favorite places, products and people, from Restaurant of the Year to Cookbook of the Year to Person of the Year. And in 2014, it’s making history with the latter choice. For the first time, the popular publication has named a nonhuman as…
If you were to close your eyes and imagine a neighborhood café with a touch of Italian, you’d probably conjure something a lot like Pronto Café in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The room would be given an informal layout with a lunch-counter bar, exposed brick, weathered wood decor, and, of course, an artisan…

Around and around we go; today is the start to yet another lovely workweek — and the end to 2014. This week, you’re sure to have a bit of a spring in your step in anticipation of New Year’s Eve. If you don’t have any plans, we’ve got a few…

Grocery shopping can be stressful, from the mile-long track from your parking spot, to the crowded isles, and never-ending check-out lines. Sort of makes you think how much easier it would all be if you could shop with a glass of wine or beer in hand. Well, the next time…
The official slogan of the Delray Beach Garlic Fest is “The Best Stinkin’ Party in Town” and they aren’t wrong about that. As far as stinkin’ parties go, there’s really no equal. During the cooler months of the year, Florida is bursting at the seams with food fests, art fests,…

Everybody loves brunch. It’s all the bacony, eggy, pancakey, greasy glory of breakfast with none of the early rising, plus a side of lunch items and a wink to happy hour. In South Florida, with beautiful weather year-round, it’s a great excuse to get out in the sun and dabble…
