Weekdays are the worst, unless you live in South Florida where we refuse to let a moment go by without cramming it full of entertainment. Whether you’re looking to relax and recover from the weekend, or would prefer to fill your weekday evening with distracting doings, there’s something for you…
Between hellish commutes, annoying coworkers, manic bosses, managing bills, and just the overall workings of being a mature adult, sometimes you just need a break. Sometimes you just need to tune it all out with a glass of wine at the end of the day. While it’s not exactly the…
Tequesta Brewing Company wants to build a brewery in Palm Beach Gardens. An application to the Palm Beach Gardens Planning and Zoning Department filed last November shows that a Houston company is seeking approval for a Twisted Trunk microbrewery at the southwest corner of US 1 and PGA Boulevard. See…
According to dictionary.com, a club is “An organization that offers its subscribers certain benefits, as discounts, bonuses, or interest, in return for regular purchases or payments.” While this can be defined by a number of institutions ranging from book clubs to shopping programs, the oldest record date back to the…
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 are looking to laugh, love, lust, or party your heart out, there’s something for you to do in…
Look outside your window right now! What do you see? If you said, “nothing but white stuff” you know without a doubt you’re not in South Florida. But if you see palm trees, a friendly bird, or maybe even a dolphin swimming in the ocean, you’re in what the rest…
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 setting our eyes on a beer made for a specific purpose: pairing with food. Earlier this week, we spoke about Funky…
Valentine’s Day is today and the way we see it, you’ve got two alternatives. You can take your significant other to a schmancy restaurant filled with other people…or you can prepare a decadent dinner-for-two at home. Don’t know what to make? Allow Fabio Viviani to assist you. The Top Chef…
There have been a rash of robberies at South Florida restaurants in the past few months. Luckily, no one has gotten hurt, and thanks to surveillance videos and some good police work, most of the perps have been apprehended (we’ve been watching some old CSI reruns, lately). And, because this…
Coming up at the end of the month, on Tuesday, February 25, at 7 p.m., Broward’s upscale beer bar and food hangout Tap 42 will host one of the season’s most interesting tap takeovers: six rare beers from indomitable barrel-agers the Bruery. The Bruery produces relatively small batches of beer…
Unlike our northern brethren (many of whom are currently expecting buckets of snow), South Floridians are privy to beach days throughout the year. Even so, it gets a bit chilly — and lately rainy — through the winter month, which sends many of us slightly-weathered-sun-worshipping-skantliy-clad-folks indoors for weeks on end…
Few countries have culinary traditions as rigorous as the French. While the cuisine was influenced by the Italians during the Renaissance, during the 17th century chefs like François Pierre La Varenne and Marie-Antoine Carême took the basics and pioneered movements that would create a unique national cuisine of their own…
Sure there’s crime everywhere, but it takes a truly soulless character to steal from a Girl Scout. Nevertheless, that’s what happened this past Sunday, February 9, when two teens robbed a troop of Girl Scouts selling cookies outside the Winn Dixie at 3260 Davie Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. That’s right…
Want to play a drinking game? Every time something happens that’s a complete clusterf**k during the Sochi Winter Olympics — take a sip of your cocktail. Every time an athlete gets locked inside a bathroom — drink! Every time a stray dog wanders into the stadium – drink! Every time…
Few activities are more relaxing than getting drunk at nine o’clock in the morning. While it’s generally not acceptable to get wasted in the early hours of the day, it’s all right as long eggs are involved, as long as it’s brunch. For all you early morning inebriates another bottomless…
The friendly bucolic motif of Sweet Nectar is a stark departure from the space’s former inhabitant, arctic-themed Tundra Restaurant — and the rest of Las Olas, for that matter. Contrasting weathered x-back and lacquered wood chairs sit under slatted wood tables topped with sturdy bistro glasses and simple, blue-striped white…
Valentine’s Day can be tricky. A) It’s expensive. B) It can be difficult to determine what is appropriate. Whether you’ve been with someone for years and you’re on a budget or you’ve recently started seeing someone and you don’t think it’s time to let out your full-on romantic side, there’s…
Today Fresh Market opened the doors to its 153rd retail store in Delray Beach. The 21,400-square-foot market is the 34th in the state, employs a total of 92 staff members, and is celebrating its first week of business with a variety of store-wide specials available all week long. Located in…
Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year. We know this because Hallmark tells us so. Seriously, though. We think there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a holiday devoted to lovebirds. After all, there’s nothing better than romance, happiness, and deciding to spend the rest of your life…
Just two more days until the international day of love is here. Hopefully, you’ve made big plans for romance. If not, you’ll need to figure something out, like, now. While most of the world is getting ready to dress to the nines for some big extravagant dinner, some of us…
So, knowing what we do about about the Catholic Church, saints, Christianity, and religious types in general, getting people laid on February 14th probably wasn’t what St. Valentine had in mind – nor the Vatican when they beatified him. The story of St. Valentine is complicated, vague, and steeped in…
By Regina Kaza In a sleepy town like Boca Raton where almost every restaurant stops serving food by 11 p.m., late night cravings are a struggle. Luckily, there’s a new place with a large enough menu to satisfy your midnight munchies in ways the Denny’s down the street or that…
