If you were alive in the ’90s and early aughts, you should remember a little band known as Green Day. If you were in high school or college around 2004, you definitely rocked out to “American Idiot” while driving in your car. It’s one of those songs that spoke to…
Broward’s western suburbs aren’t known for having a booming restaurant scene. There are some great ethic restaurants, but the majority of the eateries west of I-95 are national chains serving the same old boring reincarnation of chicken wings and spinach/artichoke dip. Bash American Bistro is one of the few spots…
Veganism can be a lonely affair. Sitting at the lunch table, you and your kale salad can feel pretty isolated alongside everyone else, with their pork rinds and turkey sammies. Hence the introduction of Vegan Drinks Night, a kickoff event for the brand-spankin’-new MeetUp group, Very Vegan Miami. The event…
Around and around we go again. 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’s still plenty of events to keep you busy through your working days. Whether you’re…
Saint Patrick’s Day is this Monday, March 17 and, since we’ve got the weekend coming up, celebrations and wearing of the green start this weekend, with a race in downtown Fort Lauderdale, and many bars celebrating St. Practice Day on Sunday. Around this time of year, most people break out…
While we all use math on an everyday basis, it usually doesn’t go further than basic adding and subtracting, as well as figuring how much to tip on that $38 check — for the record: it’s about $7.50. We rarely need to go back to high school geometry class to…
Saint Patrick’s Day is fast approaching, and if you’ve paid attention since you reached legal drinking age, you’ll know that it is one of the dreaded ‘amateur hours’ of beer drinkers. The holiday, which occurs on the 17th of March, is a Christian feast day celebrating the patron saint of…
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 popping up north to one of the area’s long standing microbreweries, Tequesta Brewing Company, all the way up in Tequesta, naturally…
Across the world Americans are stereotyped as being lazy — we’d like to think we’re just busy, actually. We have drive-throughs for just about everything: fast-food, car-washes, banks, pharmacies, convenience stores, dry-cleaners, and topless doughnut shops. (Seriously, that last one used to exist in Fort Lauderdale. We couldn’t make this…
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 party Irish style, like the idea of hanging out with pets at Funky Buddha, or…
The saying goes, “Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.” We say “good” is an awfully subjective word. In any case, we don’t believe it. Whether leaving a concert, a fun night out at the bars, a long day of work, or whatever other entertaining (but socially unacceptable) activities you may…
There’s been a lot of buzz about bees over the past few years. With a major decline in honeybee populations across the country — and in other parts of the world — scientists have been scrambling to discover the cause. To deal with the concern, the University of Florida has…
This past weekend the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral Miami saw an array of stars both on and off the famous (and revamped) Blue Monster. Of course, you’ve got to feed those thousands of hungry A-listers, so there were tons of options: Joe’s Stone Crab, Sushi Maki, and Coral…

Mark your calendars for the most notable food fests in Broward and Palm Beach. There’s a reason most of us chose the more laid-back and casual lifestyle of Broward and Palm Beach; our festivals are representative of our fun-loving yet easygoing scene. From informal parties like Beerfest and the Garlic…
Thirty minutes into Ron Jeremy’s Ron De Jeremy Spiced Rum bottle-signing, a modest but eager line of about ten had formed in Crown Wine & Spirits, at the corner of Sunrise and 15th Ave in Fort Lauderdale…
Anyone who has ever been in the same room as a lobster boiling knows the distinctive sound of its scream as it’s cooked alive. The sound is not actually a scream — lobsters do not have vocal cords — but for many, the question about whether they feel pain remained…
There once was a day in which people would scoff at the mere mention of raw fish; sushi was considered an exotic cuisine for risky foodies. Those days are surely gone — the Japanese staple is now one of the most common food items to be found across restaurant menus…
Fans of fine rum will want to make plans to come out to Crown Wine & Spirits for a meet and greet with the man known for his… ummmm… spirit… when Ron Jeremy hosts a special rum-tasting and bottle-signing today at Crown Wine & Spirits in Fort Lauderdale from 4…
Put down the beef; pick up the veggie. We’ve been hearing about the dangers of the Western diet for quite a long time. Heart disease, stroke, obesity: All can stem from gorging on burgers, fries, and ice cream. And although we know we ought to eat mostly plant matter, we’ve…
In case you didn’t know, inhaling vaporized hops is a thing now. According to Lagunitas Brewing Co., vaporizing hops has been the talk of homebrewers for years, and the Petaluma brewery has known about it for some time too. It’s thanks to the brewery that the practice of vaporizing hops…
The notion that women don’t drink beer is not just sexist but stupid. Head to any brewery, craft beer bar, or brewcentric event and there are just as many individuals with two x chromosomes slamming down the tasty beverage as there are men. Still like so many other segments of…
