We love lists. We like making our own lists and being on other people's lists. We especially love "top this" or "best that" lists. Most of all, we love when Florida restaurants top those top lists. OpenTable announced its 2013 Top 100 Outdoor Dining Spots and Florida managed to hold...
Whether you got to know Louie Anderson from Life with Louie or Family Feud, chances are you watched with a smile on your face and two, possibly three, cheeks planted firmly on the couch. Now that lovely resting device is exactly what he is trying to get you off of...
Fort Lauderdale Police say 22-year-old Alyza Rachel Russell was driving west on Broward Boulevard in a 2012 Porsche Panamera around 2 in the morning when she plowed through some bushes and into a parking lot, slamming into two men and killing them both. One of the men was dragged under...
It's tough being Marco Rubio these days. The former Tea Party pinup is now feeling a blunt blowback from his former hard-right constituency. The fresh wounds are from the Florida senator's stance on the immigration bill. In the eyes of those supporters, the senator's openness to amnesty is tantamount to...

Bruce Hornsby is like one of those kids you loved to hate back in high school. Good grades aren't enough -- they have to take on every challenge the teacher offers. In Hornsby's case, he comes across as a perennial multi-tasker: An artist who's never been content with hit singles,...
It's well known that our food supply is littered with undesirable ingredients: pink slime, fake honey, an overabundance of corn, GMOs -- the list goes on and on. Overuse of antibiotics is just one of many huge concerns. Many oppose its use due to fears of antibiotic resistance in humans...
It started out in Florida in 2010, born out of revulsion at the prospect of oil rigs in the near offshore. That February, more than 10,000 concerned citizens just said "no," linking hands on dozens of beaches across the state, drawing a literal line in the sand. Mere months later,...
You've heard about it. You've read about it. But until you've sunk your teeth into a hybrid donut/croissant you haven't experienced baked goods Nirvana. In May, Manhattan baker and James Beard finalist Dominique Ansel unleashed the cronut onto the world. The little pastry almost immediately became a worldwide phenomenon, with...
If there's one criticism people throw about when discussing the current crop of heavy metal acts, it's that their sound is generic. We have to agree that when it comes to the most popular groups in metal, particularly death metal, the bands aren't only generic, but unbearably derivative. However, Hollywood-based...
Anyone passing by a nondesrcript warehouse facility in Doral won't be seeing a familiar sight anymore: dozens of protesters shouting at the cars coming in and out of the building. A controversial company that's been a longtime target for animal-rights activists quietly packed up their Miami location recently. Activists are...

The chronic artistic (and, ironically, political) failure of much mainstream American queer cinema is its earnest, facile treatment of the issues affecting the LGBT community. Director Glenn Gaylord, working from a script by David W. Ross, falls into the usual traps in this film about marriage equality and immigration, and...
Born in Damascus, Dr. Hadi Yaziji has been a Miami resident and a U.S. citizen for some years now. He is a pathologist by training and, as conflict has consumed the land of his birth, he has turned his analytical skills from medical problems to the disease of war. Dr...
While fans and pundits debate back and forth about South Florida's contributions to the national -- and, dare we say, international -- musical mainstream, there's little doubt we can take some credit for the ever-burgeoning popularity of Latin fusion. Hialeah-bred combo Electric Piquete is one of the area acts that...
Maitejosune Urrechaga is a South Florida artist working in so many creative areas, that there's too many to mention in this intro: comic books, films, novels. She is perhaps best known as the "better half" of Miami's Pocket of Lollipops, a husband and wife outfit where she plays bass and...
Aging and appearing on a terrible reality show have reshaped Ozzy Osbourne's public image. Now seen as a lovable old coot, it's hard to remember that in the 1980s, Ozzy was one of the two scariest boogeymen lurking in popular culture. And while kids were pretty certain that the other...
It's hard to overstate how fantastic the MTV series Daria was or to exaggerate the influence its (anti) heroine had on pop culture's current crop of droll leading ladies. Some see Napoleon Dynamite, American Pie, or Juno (one of our beloved misanthrope's many progenies) as definitive millennial fare. Others tie...

A second-grade substitute teacher at Pride Elementary School in Deltona was ordered to go home after a bizarre incident where she claimed to have heard voices outside her classroom, and rambled on about the CIA and FBI and wanting to call the president of the United States, Robin Forde, 51,...
It's no new news that the first amendment of the United States Constitution protects our right to free speech, press, religion, and peaceful assembly. Though reasonable and righteous, it has become a crutch of complacency. Everybody has something to say, but generally, they're only making a weak case about America's...
Hi. Hello. How are you? Have you voted in the New Times Readers' Poll yet? Because if you haven't, you're dead to us. Ha. Ha. Just kidding. You're the best! No, seriously. Go vote for South Florida's best restaurants, bars, shops, drag queen, Heat player (LOL it's LeBron!), best pool,...
On a scalding Saturday afternoon, nearly a dozen Miami Beach Police cars are jammed up on the lawns of a shady residential street near Mount Sinai Hospital. Cops lean against their cruisers as a mangy group of about 20 protesters spills out onto the overgrown lawn before a white, single-story...
