North of the Miami-Dade County border, we tend to get the shaft in terms of cool events. South Beach gets its food festival. Miami, the Winter Music Conference. Us? Zip, usually. Not this time. All this week, Vibe will be running its own version of the Winter Music Conference, meaning…
In terms of fashion, the ’80s were kind of, like, the best decade ever. We don’t care what anyone says; leg warmers, frizzy side ponytails, and those little circular plastic things used to scrunch up the sides of T-shirts are still hot. The only way to make it even hotter:…
Frankenfish has been swimming its way closer to your dinner plate for quite some time now.

Starting at the end of this week, the Winter Music Conference descends upon Miami like a chubby kid on a double-cheese burger. DJs and partiers will be coming from across the world to get a bit of Miami EDM action. For the most part, if you want to get in…
Shrimp cocktail has been around as long as most people can remember. And it’s probably one of the easiest hors d’oeuvres to put together. Cold shrimp, cocktail sauce, and lemon served atop Bibb lettuce. Even the most challenged home cooks can throw it together.As tasty as it can be, even…

For the most part, when you think Palm Beach, you think of elegant dining rooms filled with old men in blue blazers and crystal chandeliers. Not chill hangout spot. PB Catch is now offering an alternative to the stuffy old crowds of ‘the island.’ The spot recently updated its concept to…

Go to almost any bar, anywhere: You’ll be sure to notice that craft cocktails are on the rise. Everyone is muddling away fresh fruits and herbs. But just like any trend, not all cocktails are created the same. Add just a bit too much bitters, an extra dash of citrus,…
South Florida is filled to the brim with sushi restaurants galore. It’s no secret: Our diet-crazed, scantily clad population absolutely loves the Japanese staple. Unfortunately, for the most part, it’s certainly not authentic. Have you ever heard of them eating California rolls with fake crab in Japan? Yeah, we didn’t…
In order to make it, a lot of musicians either go commercial or step over people to get ahead. Basically, give up their originality or turn into an asshole. Both of which pretty much suck.That’s the antithesis to West Palm Beach-based DJ German Garcia’s approach. The Uruguayan-naitve recently started up…
Most people tend to think of making drinks as a means to getting drunk. And, well, it is. But there is also a hell of a lot more behind making a good drink than throwing together some liquor with a mixer. Although, we do realize you think you make the…
Just in case you haven’t noticed, the whole luxury dining theatre thing is really in right now. Gone are the days in which moviegoers are deigned to tiny seats with nothing more than a quadrupled-size soda and five pound box ‘o popcorn. To elevate diners movie experiences even higher, Cinemark has…
The 1930s were not exactly the happiest of times. Let’s be honest: The Depression and World War II sucked. Fortunately, we’ve been able to move on and improve — for the most part. Want proof? The Norton Museum of Art is featuring a photography exhibition — “The Radical Camera: New…
When you think Renaissance, images of mainland Europe come to mind: the great painters and artists of Italy, France, the Netherlands. When you think Renaissance Festival, scenes from Old England probably carve their way into your consciousness — jousting knights, kings and queens, wenches… you know, the usual stuff. Well,…
We know you’ve heard of pub crawls. In fact, we’re pretty sure you’ve probably ended up on all fours at the end of one. That’s fun and all, but after a certain age, getting absolutely blind kind of starts to lose its appeal. Or not. Whatever. Well, there’s a new…
For many locals, Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale tends to be viewed as a bit of a tourist trap. Yeah, there are plenty of places to go out for a drink, but often the food can be a bit, um, lacking. That being said, we decided to compile a…
Spring Break is known as a month of complete chaos for Fort Lauderdale bartenders. It’s kind of like babysitting a bunch of overgrown toddlers. In the heat of the moment, restaurant staff probably fantasize about punching these amateurs in the face. How would you feel if you have to wipe…
When it comes to finding amazing cocktails, you’re probably not thinking Coral Springs. Not that we have anything against the city, but when it comes to culinary creations the suburbs are mostly like not the first image that comes to mind. And then there’s Ian Carrey, General Manager and Partner…
