Finding an eatery that can please omnivores and herbivores alike ain’t an easy task. Add kids to the mix, and anything other than the McDonald’s drive-thru might induce a temper tantrum. But #MeatlessMondays are the ideal time to experiment, and Green Bar & Kitchen makes life easier on everyone. The…
On Friday, May 2 the 19th annual Las Olas Wine and Food Festival kicked off, where hundreds of people enjoyed food and drink samplings from some of South Florida’s top restaurants. More than 40 tables of wine, beer, food — and more — were available. Clean Plate Charlie was on…
The Kentucky Derby is so much more than a horse race. It’s an iconic celebration of all things inherently Southern. Gentlemen wear seersucker suits and drink mint juleps out of pewter cups. Ladies wear flowered dresses and outrageous hats. Horses are showered with roses. If you’re not planning a trip…
The Chicago hot dog is a thing of beauty; from the poppy seed specked bun, to the colorful array of toppings. You know how it goes, the canonical recipe referred to as “dragged through the garden,” with bright yellow mustard, neon green sweet pickle relish, chopped white onion, a few…
Drinking holidays and Irish pubs just go together. Whether it’s St. Paddy’s Day, Fourth of July, or the Day of the Battle of Puebla, we like to drink heavily in dark wooden bars with celtic music playing in the background (some things can’t be explained). Our favorite Mexican holiday is…
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 going a little further away and a little more small batch, because sometimes you have to travel outwards in order to…
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 hoping to score deals on drinks, looking to help homeless dogs while getting drunk, or longing to hang…
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo comes the biggest internet sensation since Grumpy Cat and the Prancersize lady. That’s right folks, it’s Tiny Hamsters Eating Tiny Burritos! This new video by Hello Denizen was just released, yet it’s already managed to rack up nearly 2.5 million views. Why?…
It looks like something dodgy may have gone down at South Shore Tavern and Patio Bar this morning. Fire crews were called to the popular Lake Worth bar in the early hours of the morning to extinguish the flames. According to reports, authorities are suspecting foul play. See Also: Mai-Kai…
It’s time to pull out those sombreros, maracas, and ponchos next week — or don’t, that’s called cultural appropriation, actually. But you can still stock up on tequilas and Mexican brews in preparation. America’s favorite Mexican holiday is coming back around on Monday. And it’s time to honor our southern…
With another month comes another bunch of new restaurants. Though we still have plenty of spots that we’re waiting to see open doors (ahem, Trader Joe’s!), the four weeks of April proved to be good for the world of food. From downtown beercentric to all-you-can-eat to burgers to casual grilled…
After 30 years, Florida’s largest regional fast-casual franchise is debuting a new brand. Miami Subs will now offer a new alternative, known as Miami Grill, giving new franchise owners the opportunity to offer an updated menu.

While we’re not exactly closer to legalizing weed in the state of Florida, earlier this week the Florida Senate passed a landmark bill that would allow for low-THC marijuana for medical purposes. The Charlotte’s Web bill, which was sponsored by three Republicans, would make it legal for doctors to prescribe…
It’s a stark contrast to its desolate surrounds of Fort Lauderdale’s once lively Riverfront plaza. At Canale, white-clad servers buzz among pristine tables topped with gently draping ivory cloths and secluded seating areas of contemporary dark wicker outdoor couches with bright-orange cushions. The inviting patio overlooks passing yachts moving up…
Whether you’re a fan of government regulation or not, there are some bureaucratic entities that come in handy from time to time — parking services certainly is not one. The Health Department, however, is one that helps keep us safe (most of the time). Just last week, one of the…
There really is no better pairing than beer and food, so when Brewery Ommegang (that very Belgian of American craft breweries) expanded its list of cities for its annual HopChef competition to include Miami, chefs from the area rose to the challenge of enveloping their food with beer. Monday, the…
There once was a point in history in which Americans would don their finery every day of the week. Not anymore — especially, in South Florida. These days, we’re lucky to see someone in an entire outfit without undergarments or butt cheeks hanging out (whether you appreciate the lack of…
The following is an op-ed, with some of my frustrations laid out. Holy hell, it actually passed. These were the thoughts that went through my mind Tuesday afternoon when controversial Florida Senate bill 1714 passed to a vote of 30-10, effectively signaling to the booming craft beer industry that the…
The 17th annual Best of Broward/Palm Beach issue comes out in June and celebrates the coolest restaurants, clubs, shops, bars, and services in South Florida. Each year, New Times writers scour Broward and Palm Beach counties to find the most unique places from best burger to best thrift store. But…
Fish tanks are said to reduce blood pressure, improve insomnia, and lower overall stress. And they’re just cool to look at. While you’re probably happy with a betta in a bowl, fish tanks can run from basic to extravagant. And few people know more about indulgent aquariums than the folks…
Finally, the angry mob yelling “What about Fort Lauderdale?!?!?!” every time another South Florida Trader Joe’s location is announced will be silenced. In 2015, you Fort Lauderdalians will have your very own TJ’s. Rejoice! Your rejoicing will, of course, do nothing for the scores of commenters who complain bitterly about…
