Native Brewing Company now has a temporary home, and it’s being touted as much more than a simple brewing space. The Craft Beer Cartel is a new concept from Native’s Adam Fine and Riverside Market’s Julian and Lisa Siegel which features a traditional bottle shop, space for a small on-premise…
Slaving over a hot stove is all well and good — if you’ve got oodles of vacation time and a penchant for forearm burns. For the rest of us, however, pre-made food and delicious mixes are what get us through the gauntlet of holiday dinners and picky relatives. To make…
Dudes are hard to shop for — there, I said it. When you’re in a bind and need a gift for a female friend, you can always stop in at Yankee Candles or Bath and Body Works — even if they aren’t into that stuff, cultural norms say these are…
If it’s one food trend South Florida crushed this year, it’s the juice bar. Both Broward and Palm Beach counties saw their fair share of cold-pressed juice bars and smoothie shops. This year, we’ve also seen a new movement take hold: specialty coffee, a slow-growing community of local roasters and…

By now, everyone is familiar with brewery collaborations — when two breweries get together and brewmasters go to work deciding the best way to blend the tastes and styles of their most inspired beer ideas into a single, glorious new beer. While two craft breweries getting together to create something…
It wouldn’t be fair to say Hollywood’s 2-month-old La Huaca Peruvian Cuisine is hidden; it’s just a bit off the beaten path. Sitting at Harrison Street and South 20th Avenue, one block south of Hollywood Boulevard, the new Peruvian eatery is really just steps from the clustered chaos of the…

Earlier this week we gave your, our dear readers, the opprotunity to win four VIP tickets for a luxurious dinner aboard the Liberty Belle paddlewheel vessel during the 43rd-annual Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade taking place at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. You came through and we loved them all. Here’s…
In every circle of friends, there’s one brew snob who wouldn’t touch a Starbucks cup with a ten-foot pole, one coffee fiend who’s better at detecting notes of Arabica terroir than balancing a checkbook, one caffeine aficionado who worships at the altar of Chemex. For this person, a Dunkin’ Donuts…
Congratulations, you made it through yet another working 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 celebrate Public House’s one year anniversary with a street party, or want to get your dog’s…
Sure, it’s that “wonky” chocolatier and those “31 flavors” guys who get instant recognition when it comes to sweets and ice cream peddling, but since 1999, South Florida’s had one zany and downright awesomely kooky ice cream maker in her midst, Sloan Kamenstein. 16 years on, the little day-glo ice…
Just when you thought you’d heard all the news there is to hear about Tap 42 founders Sean and Blaise McMackin doing big things in South Florida — from Blaise’s new coffee shop, Warsaw, to the third Tap 42 location in Coral Gables and this month’s opening of Green Bar…
Social media butterflies might have noticed, and Black Friday drinkers as well, that on November 28th, Due South Brewing Company in Boynton Beach introduced a new sleeker logo design. Gone is the stamped and ‘dirty’ looking mark; in its place is angular font and geometric colors. The brand change isn’t…
The Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade is a 43 year old South Florida tradition. Afterall, if you’re going to make the trek down to the palm tree filled tip of the nation’s southernmost peninsula, you probably aren’t interested in snowmen and ice skating. You want your holiday happenings to…
