Chipotle is known for many things: sustainable foodstuffs, friendly employees, heart-wrenching animation skills. What it’s not known for, however, is flighty or frequent changes to its supersimple menu. It hasn’t introduced a new protein in, oh, 21 years. Until now. Answering the call of a growing interest in plant-based eating,…
“Tested batch after batch”… “sustainable Fair Trade cane sugar”… “a special blend of spices from around the world”… “a distinct foamy head.” Is this the description for a new, artisan, exotic beverage? In a way, yes. And no. The above words are part of the launch campaign for Caleb’s Kola,…
Courtesy of Betsy’s BestFounder Betsy Opyt and her butters. When it comes to healthy eating, the Jifs and Skippys of the world don’t exactly make the cut. Sure, peanut butter is touted as a good-for-you snack, but read the labels and you’ll quickly realize that most of the major brands…
It’s #FloridaBeerFriday. Every Friday, we take a look at a beer brewed in the Sunshine State, giving analysis to the burgeoning craft-beer movement of Florida. This week, we’re looking at the Last Stop IPA from Brew Bus Brewing, a company that owns and operates a small fleet of touring buses…
A new gastropub is trying its hand on the downtown West Palm Beach Clematis scene. The Alchemist Gastropub & Bar will open its doors at 223 Clematis St. on Monday. The restaurant is being described as a vintage-inspired eatery with a speakeasy theme in “an energetic steam-punk-inspired” environment. See Also:…
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 ready to drink some authentic German beer at the 2014 American German Club Oktoberfest, celebrate the full moon…
Once upon a time, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and cell phones did little more than make phone calls, I walked into an Apple store where a “genius” proceeded to ask me a question that’s usually used by people who try to sell you flowers, pamphlets, and religions at…
A new shopping plaza located east of I-95 in south Delray Beach is bringing four new dining franchise locations to Palm Beach County this year, including Starbucks, Five Guys, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Tijuana Flats. See Also: Boston’s on the Beach Celebrating 35 Years in Delray Beach…
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while turning the White House pink may be absolutely adorable, all that pink is designed to make women take off those rose-colored glasses and face a cold dose of the truth. One in eight women will be diagnosed with the disease. The…
This month, Boston’s on the Beach will be ringing in its 35th anniversary in Delray Beach.

A South Florida family-run establishment, Lynora’s Restaurant, has passed the torch to the next generation this month with the opening of downtown West Palm Beach’s newest restaurant, Lynora’s Osteria. In the early 1970s, Ralph and Maria Abbenante moved to New York from Italy, looking to start a new life. They…
At some point, humanity discovered that water was essential to its well-being and that access to clean water was an important block in developing a community. The human body is approximately 60/65 percent water, and as such, its daily intake as a fluid or present in water-rich foods is corporeally…
In that past few years, the culinary world has become a bit of a congested mess, with chefs turning into household names and Hollywood-caliber personalities bursting from the kitchen into the limelight. Fledgling epicurean operations have resorted to gimmickry and “shticks” in order to stand out in this oft-confusing sea…
The 17th-annual New Times’ “Original” Beerfest, presented by Isle Casino, returns to Fort Lauderdale’s Esplanade Park on Saturday, October 25, and it’s going to be one amazing evening filled with music, fun, and beer! More than 100 different brews will be on hand for your sampling enjoyment, including beers by…
When it comes to cooking, not all courses are created the same. Sure, a topnotch chef could probably make an amazing cake — and probably way better than anything you’re going to make — but cooking and baking are two completely different things. And there’s nothing like dessert prepared by…
Few cultural festivals are more internationally celebrated than Oktoberfest, but odds are you have no idea how it came to be. It all started with a royal wedding. On October 12, 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig was married to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen in Munich. As was the case with any…
As is the case with life, restaurants come into and exit this world every day of the week. While they can depart for any number of reasons — bad food, crappy service, terrible health department inspections — chances are, it all comes down to financial terms. Recently, Fort Lauderdale lost…
Can you feel the chill in the air? OK, maybe that’s taking things too far, but there’s certainly a drop in humidity. Fall is here, and with that come seasonal ales and cocktails with spiced notes, rich botanicals, and harvest flavors. To celebrate, Living Room at the W Fort Lauderdale…
Continuing the trend in showing that Florida is no longer the craft beer wasteland that it used to be, Boulevard Brewing Company this month will be entering our state’s markets. For anyone that’s traveled to the midwest, Boulevard is a mainstay brewery that slings some highly rated brews out of…
The return of our northern brethren seeking to avoid the cooler months has begun. To prepare for their arrival, a new batch of eateries has opened, while others have sadly closed. Now, before the migration is completed and snowbird season is in full swing, is the best time to check…
It’s October 6th, which means we’re about five minutes into pumpkin’s 15 minutes of annual fame. And while pumpkin edibles, drinkables and wearables (really Bath & Body Works?) are literally everywhere, it’s harder to find vegan options, particularly in the dessert department. Luckily, you’re the master of your kitchen appliances,…
Around and around we go; today is the start to yet another lovely workweek. Hopefully, you have a bit of a spring in your step from some indulgent weekend activities. If not, don’t fret; there are still plenty of events to keep you busy through the next batch of working…
