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 search out some food-related art, check out some Halloween festivities, or drink some sake while throwing…
At this point, everything has undergone its seasonal pumpkin transformation. Lattes are pumpkin-ized. Pies are pumpkin-ized. And even donuts are being served in appetizing pumpkin spiced flavors. And while that’s all really wonderful, the folks with gluten allergies or Celiac disease are left with a pumpkin-shaped hole in their stomachs…
Halloween is right around the corner and, of course, you bought a pumpkin. Congratulations. But what, exactly do you do with it? Well, you could carve it, you could paint it, or you could turn it into something useful, like a Bong ‘O Lantern…
We work hard and at the end of a long day — or a long week — we deserve to sit back and decompress with a glass of wine or a cold beer. Happy hours were invented for this very reason, but there’s more to it than just ordering up…
Miami New Times and New Times Broward Palm Beach have an immediate opening for an assistant web editor. This position combines journalism with social media marketing and analytical data management to increase the audience for New Times on its desktop and mobile applications. The assistant web editor assigns and edits…
We all know mixology is experiencing a resurgence. From the comeback of classic cocktails like the bourbon-centric old fashioned and the Manhattan or the gin-based Negroni to the new interpretations from modern day mixologists, mixed drinks are in, and it looks like they are going to stay. Mixologist Luke Tullos…
Beer and musicians are a union that goes back to the first bars that offered guitarists an open tab if they’d play all night.. It’s no surprise, then, that when musicians look for an interesting avenue for promotion, they look towards beer as a way to make their mark. It’s…
To the west of Interstate 95, on a parcel of land adjacent to the CSX railway in Delray Beach, sits a massive, white-roofed, red-painted structure. It is both a repurposed barn and an important piece of South Florida history. It is also the future home of Saltwater Brewery. As the…
Ben & Jerry’s has just announced its newest flavor to much fanfare — and with a waterskiing squirrel. Scotchy Scotch Scotch is the Vermont-based ice cream company’s new flavor. An homage to Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy, this is a creamy blend of butterscotch ice cream with ribbons of butterscotch swirl (alas,…
OMG — when we received an email directly from Team Coco, we had no idea what was in store. Turns out, Conan O’Brien turned Triumph the Insult Comic Dog loose in Colorado for the Great American Beer Festival, where the politically incorrect dog finds out firsthand “what it’s like to…
If ever there was a genre of music that was inherently tied to the rise in cocktail culture, it would be jazz. From London jazz joints serving gin by the jug to American speakeasies creating interesting concoctions of whatever they could get their hands on during Prohibition, the drinks and…
The common media trope these days is that women’s costumes have gotten too sexy. The ubiquitous “Sexy Noun” costume is everywhere. While some backwards-thinking conservative prudes (cough-Jon-Stewart-cough) might suggest that things have gotten out of hand and these costumes are degrading to women, The Daily Show’s Senior Women’s Issue Correspondent…
Now that the government shutdown is over, brewers are back to business, the beer is flowing, and you can stop rationing your breakfast provisions. South Florida is gushing with beer. Saltwater Brewery is slated to open soon in Delray Beach, and MIA Brewing is currently under construction. But haters are…
For downtown Delray Beach — a city rife with restaurants, bars, coffee shops and cafes — it seems nearly every cuisine and concept has been covered. What could possibly come next? How about a wine bar that’s more self-serve than sit-down, with a line-up of events as varied and approachable…
Hunger has become a hot topic in the charitable world. From chefs (such as hometown hero Clay Conley) to musicians to actors to athletes, everyone seems to be talking about those who are much less fortunate than the rest of us. If you haven’t gotten the memo: One out of…
Love her or hate her… Flo, Progressive’s retro, red-mouthed, insurance-loving, customer-service rep is one of the most easily identified nonreptilian spokespeople on television these days. So it’s only natural that people would want to dress like her on Halloween — right? Unfortunately, there are actually costumes all over Etsy that…
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA for short, has been accused of going overboard and using heavy-handed publicity stunts for getting its message across. That may be true, but the organization, led by founder Ingrid Newkirk, does the one thing it sets out to do — it…
It’s no surprise that McDonald’s can whip up a Big Mac five minutes after ordering, but this Lake Wales Micky D’s can also deliver a baby boy in that time too. On the way to a doctor’s appointment last Monday, 20-year-old Shardonnay Hill asked her grandmother to quickly stop at…

Gillete Stadium is a long way away. Like 1,400 miles away. Like a 22-hour-drive-by-car away. No one has the time or gas money for that. So it’s easy to feel left out with all the magic happening over in Foxborough, Massachusetts (especially after their win against the Saints). But it’s…
Nowadays, most of us go to restaurants for the chefs. Sure, the atmosphere may be nice, the service impeccable, the drinks could be made just right; however, we’re living in the era of the celebrity chef. We want to eat from a big name, the same way we want to…
We’ve all had those undeniable cravings for a dish from our favorite restaurant on the day it’s closed or during its off hours. Let’s be honest: It really sucks. Unfortunately, many great dinner places close their doors during the day, when the rest of the world is running around and…
