While it could have been much worse, this weekend ended up being a bit of a wet one. Hopefully, your big plans didn’t get lost in the rain — or you chose to bring an umbrella. Either way, if you’re looking to make up for time — and fun –…
It kind of makes sense that South Florida was once home to the world’s most acclaimed pinup photographers — the weather is perfectly suited for tiny amounts of clothing. Bunny Yeager, for instance, started off as one of the most photographed models in Miami but eventually ended up stepping behind…

Consider this week to be recovery time. America’s Independence Day may have just passed — and hopefully your headache has subsided as the days have gone by — but another Independence Day celebration is about to go down this weekend. Sunday is Bastille Day, the anniversary of the storming of…
Craft beer is kind of a big deal in South Florida. Jazz, on the other hand, is not that easy to come by. The Mack House is bringing beer geeks and music lovers together for a jazz night. The fun begins Thursday, July 25, at 8 p.m. The Mack House…
Walking is supposed to be a healthy, calorie-burning activity intended to raise your heart rate, trim your waistline, and improve overall wellness. While a Dishcrawl is basically a prolonged evening stroll — or crawl, really — it has the opposite effect of a vigorous hike. It’s more likely to add…

Celebrities come in all shapes and sizes — and, for that matter, statuses. The A-listers get all the cred and fame, while the B-listers get stuck with Lifetime movies and random guest spots. Most of the time, the ones on the lower level of the stardom sphere are trying to…
What happens when you combine one of Fort Lauderdale’s favorite beer bars with one of South Florida’s favorite breweries? Beer kismet.

From June through November, the weather in South Florida can be a bit tricky. Generally, you can expect to see afternoon rains every day, but gentle showers aside, you never know when you’re going to get a tropical storm or hurricane. This weekend, it looks like the remnants of Tropical…
In case you haven’t heard: This year’s farm bill was yet another, epic disaster. You may be wondering why it even matters, but in it lies a deluge of pending legislation — most of which has little to do with sowing farmland. Just like WIC and food stamps, the Federal…
Classes are supposed to be informative and educational. Some are so boring you’d rather walk over a pile of burning coals than show up. Yes, we’re talking to you, Intro to Calc. Others can be a bit more enjoyable. (Hint: Eating food and drinking wine tends to help.) In a…
Learning to eat well can be a bit of a process. Hot dogs and hamburgers go out the door, and kale salads and quinoa are in. Probably not the most exciting realization for a bunch of young men. Trying to maintain a healthy diet while eating out is a nightmare…
Different religions have different sets of rules when it comes to eating. Many Jews keep a kosher diet that has been prepared according to Jewish dietary law. Practicing Catholics abstain from eating meat during Lent and the church urges followers to refrain from meat every Friday throughout the year. Observed…

Now that the Fourth of July and holiday weekend have passed, it’s back to regular old summer in South Florida. It’s hot, you have to work, and it’s probably going rain every day, but luckily local businesses are trying to keep you entertained. Whether you’re looking to learn some molecular…

So you’re all tuckered out from your big Fourth of July party yesterday? You poor wittle baby. Zip up your dress, Sally, and get over it: that’s how holiday weekends are supposed to be. Whether you’re looking to do it up with a binge-drinking pub crawl, a steamy burlesque show,…
Ahh. Fourth of July: another wonderful day off from work to celebrate good ole’ ‘Murica. Traditionally, it’s supposed to be celebrated by drinking cold beer and noshing on piles upon piles of barbecue. That’s the idea, anyway. Times have changed for many, whether you live in an apartment, are too…
