If there is one thing that has always intrigued me, it’s a great art exhibit. I love studying the pieces and trying to see even a glimpse into what the artist is trying to symbolize. My latest Miami weekend-adventure landed me at the Bass Museum of Art for their first Friday of the month party, Beats After Sunset. It’s a
Beach Brews Beer Fest
When I think of a beer fest, I picture myself sampling local and foreign brews in the middle of the day, fighting the hot sun with a little SPF, clinking over-sized beer mugs with strangers and eating lots of jean-tightening-fried food. What I experienced this weekend was not the festival I had in mind. I arrived to Beach Brews Beer
Miami’s Top Spots To Watch The Super Bowl On Sunday
Regardless of which team you’ll be supporting this Sunday, watching the Super Bowl is always an exciting event. The solid mix of ridiculously expensive Doritos commercials, hot wings, beer and a hopefully not disappointing half time show (Beyonce, please don’t let us down again!) can make for one hell of a Sunday Funday, or a painful Monday—depending on how you
Sunday Funday: Country Music, Cold Beer and Chili
Yesterday was the 2013 Kiss Country Chili Cook-Off and we arrived at C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines, along with 20,000 other denim-clad partiers, around 11 a.m. with the intention of enjoying some cold beer, listening to live country music (something that is not too common in Miami), and of course, people watching. Country music festivals are always an interesting
I look better NUDE
One of my oldest friends recently landed her dream job with LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey) as an Account Executive for NUDE, a high-end line of all-natural face creams and serums, and to celebrate, we went to lunch yesterday. I headed back to the office with a full belly, some much needed girl talk out of my system, and some
Indulge Your Sweet Tooth at the International Chocolate Festival This Weekend
Imagine walking through the sweetest garden of milk chocolate, with giant colorful lollipops and flowers made of pure sugar and a river that flows only the creamiest fudge. Oh wait, that’s Willy Wonka. Well, this isn’t quite the chocolate factory from the movies, but it sure holds the cure for any winter blahs. And you don’t need a golden ticket.
Dylan’s Candy Bar Finally Opens on Lincoln Road!
When I moved to Miami Beach back in October, one of the first things I noticed was that Dylan’s Candy Bar was just minutes away from my apartment with a sign in the window reading: Coming November 2012. I felt like a little kid counting down the days until Christmas. But November came and went and still no Candy Bar. What the
Secrets Of A South Beach Bartender
I have been working in the restaurant industry since I was 16, so when I decided to pick up a few shifts at a local bar to help cushion my savings account, the whole process came back very naturally for me. Oh, how I’ve missed cutting lemons and listening to cheesy pickup lines. People always ask: what’s the most popular
Cirque du Soleil’s Totem Is Wowing Miami
Forget Ringling Bros., THIS has to be greatest show on earth. Contortionists folding their bodies into so tiny you-have-to-see-it-to-believe it shapes, dancers swinging on the fixed trapeze, men stacking themselves like Legos to form a human pyramid. They make it look so easy. Totem is one of the many touring shows put on by Cirque du Soleil and it is nothing
On The Red Carpet With Mark Wahlberg Last Night
Photograph by Patrick McMullan. First Clooney, now Wahlberg? I can get used to these hot celebrity sightings. Last night, Mark Wahlberg graced us with his presence at Regal South Beach Stadium 18 on Lincoln Road with his lovely Broken City co-star Natalie Martinez. The later they were, the bigger the crowd grew (and the faster my patience started to wear
