No matter which way you slice it, drinking tends to be a mindless activity. Sure, there once a day in which the bar debate encouraged lively discussions, but that time has long passed (Google solves pretty much everything in an instant). Chances are the majority of your nights out are…
The time to celebrate is almost here. The day of Saint Patrick is coming up in just over a week. In America it’s the one day of the year in which everyone wants to have a good time — and pretend to be Irish for the day. While most South…
It was not too long ago that seeing a mustache in November was a rare occurrence. Now, it feels like the entire month is a real-life version of Anchorman. Whether it’s because facial hair is on-trend or because people have actually started concerning themselves with the dangers of testicular cancer,…
With a cheery bright-green awning out front, unfinished wood and colorfully painted walls, a pleasant and folksy playlist of artists like Jack Johnson and the Lumineers, and a premise based around healthful foods for all, Green Spot Kitchen is like the poster child for positive eateries. The small restaurant offers…
Broward County is not known for having an excess of good Asian restaurants. Yes, there is a Thai sushi spot on almost every corner. And sure, it’ll satiate the craving for sweet, spicy, and savory all at once, but we’ve been there and done that a million times over. Just…
South Florida is no stranger to food and wine festivals — during season we seem to host one every weekend. Although we’re more than happy to attend any event that involves gorging ourselves for hours on end, one such fest is bigger and more celeb-filled than all the rest. A…

With the polar vortex dumping buckets of snow, this has been an intense winter for those up north. While our northern brethren have been freezing their asses off, we’ve been chilling out in the sun with one of the warmest Florida winters on record. As much as we’d like to…
Few things pair better than brew with games. From beer pong to flip cup to around the world to Edward Fortyhands, nothing is more entertaining than a bit of competition while drinking. While we do realize that most these are activities designed for college students looking to get sloshed, even…
It’s the end of February, which means two things: it’s about to be spring break down here, and Mardi Gras is in full swing in New Orleans. You could either A) buy yourself a ticket to trade out one version of crazy, skantily clad parties for another, or B) stay…
When it comes to complete relaxation, brunch is the ideal choice. How often do you get to kick back with a drink during the day while sitting in the sunshine for hours, picking at foods that will most like you send you straight back to bed? If you’re doing that…
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…
With another month comes another bunch of new restaurants. While we still have plenty of spots we’re waiting to see open doors (Ahem, Trader Joe’s!), the last four weeks of January proved to be a good one for the world of food. From upscale Asian to fast Brazilian to burgers…
Fort Lauderdale Beach is not known as the area’s premier dining destination — it’s more recognized its profusion of margaritas with overturned Coronas than anything else. While it’s been slow to catch on, that trend is starting to change — albeit at a snail’s pace. The beach recently received its…
Mom was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Sure it gets your metabolism going and supposedly people who eat breakfast eat fewer calories over the course of the day. Blah, blah, lose weight, blah, blah, be healthier, live longer – whatever. Point being: breakfast is good…
Generally, when you see a group of adults attempting to alter their appearance to look exactly the same, cult is the word that springs to mind — no one will ever forget those matching sweatsuits and Nikes from the ’90’s. In just a couple of weeks, more than 30 individuals…
Yes, we love burgers, fries, and all the other symbols of gluttony. But sometimes we prefer to eat something healthy. On Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9, WellFest Delray is bringing a wide range of salubrious eats, seminars, and activities. Taking place at Delray Center for the Arts at…
When it comes to drinking, the Irish are at the head of the pack. So it should come as no surprise that a Paddy-themed pub crawl is bound to be good craic. On Saturday, March 8, from 6 p.m. to midnight, the Lake Worth Pub Crawl is going green for…
Bahn mi, pho, happy pancakes: all mind-blowing Vietnamese dishes. While we’d be more than excited to eat at least one of the three every day, finding a good Vietnamese restaurant is a bit of a hassle in South Florida. At 6:30 p.m. on Friday, March 7, Publix Aprons Cooking School…
Nelyson De Jesus is an imposing man with a goatee, a lip piercing, and a wide, infectious smile. About a decade ago, he left his childhood home on Crash Boat Beach in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, to join his father in South Florida. Tony Sanchez is an affable Dominican native with…
For years, we’ve been hearing about the benefits of farm-to-table cuisine: Buying locally results in lower carbon emissions, support of the local economy, and stronger, fresher flavors. Same goes for locally brewed beer. Not long ago, most South Floridians reached for a bottle of Bud before searching out a local…
When it comes to big names in the South Florida culinary scene, Michelle Bernstein is kind of a big deal. The affable celebrity chef is all over the place, from her highly acclaimed Miami restaurant Michy’s to her public television show Check, Please! South Florida to numerous food and wine…
