If the South Florida music scene were a monarchy, this line up at Respectable Street (518 Clematis St., West Palm Beach) would be the king’s brother. He’d probably be a better king who was born second so never got the crown. The Holy Terrors, a throaty alt-rock, grunge fusion band,…
The days of spring are upon us — and this year, South Floridians could actually take notice. With cold weather lasting until early March, there might be no better year to commemorate the season known for warming up the Earth. You can shed those jackets (this is not a weather…
Perhaps the name of Saturday night’s event is a little risqué if you’re into double-entendres, but “Unveil Your Pink” has only a G-rated raison d’être: The Boynton Beach-based organization Women on the Move is hosting it as a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. As if helping this…
Why is it we keep settling on Romeo and Juliet as Shakespeare’s signature work? Its first critic saw it and sniffed, “It is a play of itself the worst that I ever heard in my life.” Macbeth is swifter, Hamlet more epic. R and J is easy to discover while…
How would you sum up South Florida life through art? A poutine-based finger painting? A seashell sculpture depicting financial pyramid schemes? A foreclosed sandcastle? Whatever your approach, it’s a tricky task. Bear and Bird Boutique + Gallery likes keeping our local creative types on their toes, so for its current…
For the past 12 years, Miami International Fashion Week has welcomed the industry’s elite to watch local and international designers display their wares. Thursday, the runway shows open to nonindustry folk, starting with the Swimwear and Miami Style showcases. They start at 7:30 and 9 p.m., respectively, at the Shops…
Four weeks ago, the Miami Heat flailed without Dwyane Wade, when he was sidelined due to a strained calf. They dropped games against the lowly T-Wolves and middling Bucs. They fell below the .500 mark and into third in the Southeast Division. D-Wade’s return game against the Orlando Magic was…
Akon might be best-known for rapping about his criminal past or the time he body-slammed a kid into the audience in 2007. But nowadays, Akon is hoping to remake his image, doing benefit shows and telling interviewers that he doesn’t drink or smoke. The remade Akon’s show begins at 7…
The ritzy, glitzy Whiskey Blue at the new W Hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach is hosting a new Wednesday-night party that it guarantees to be “the only high-end gay-friendly party in town.” Whiskey Blue’s Facebook page says the party is for gay men and women “and the lucky people they…
The Tennis Center at Crandon Park (7300 Crandon Blvd., Key Biscayne) is actually the third home of the Sony Ericsson Open. Butch Buchholz, former pro tennis player turned promoter, first organized the event in Delray Beach, then Boca Raton. Considered to be the “Fifth Grand Slam” because of its tournament…
When David Rockefeller came up with the idea of a World Trade Center for Lower Manhattan, there was just one obstacle in his way: Radio Row, several jumbled blocks of little electronics stores, where radios, circuity, and miscellaneous used goods piled up on the sidewalks to be picked over. Whatever…
The acres north of downtown Fort Lauderdale are known as the FAT Village Arts District. Saturday, they will host the second Art Walk from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The FAT Village collective consists of several svelte individuals concerned about bringing life and activity to the galleries of Fort Lauderdale…
Beanie babies. Grandpa’s LP collection. Home movies. Of all the things to store away for a later date when they’ll be greatly appreciated, wine is the last thing that comes to mind. Because, for most, wine storage has meant little more than making Monday’s four-liter jug of Carlo Rossi last…
Putatively a new romance starring Robert Pattinson, Remember Me begins like a vigilante movie: a Brooklyn subway platform, 1991; a racially charged stickup; an 11-year-old girl watches her mother get shot. It’s the first sign that here is a film that won’t content itself with just charting the little measures…
The Old Man and the Sea depicts the struggle against adversity as internal. Though the thrashing of the fish is violent and in certain passages Hemingway’s writing is so powerful and precise that one can actually feel the ebb and flow of strength in the Old Man’s hands, it is…
It’s not often that you get a chance to see a host from a late-night network television program talk fraternity live and in-person. Craig Ferguson will hit the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Coral Springs Center for the Arts (2855 Coral Springs Drive in Coral Springs). Ferguson, who just…
The biggest concern for the Miami Heat is not whether this season will end up in the proverbial toilet — it will. It’s whether free-agent-to-be Dwyane Wade will declare “No mas!” and bolt for another team. Outside of D-Wade, the roster is a Frankenstein-monster-like mashup of expiring contracts. But despite…
Florida seasons might not be too different from one another, but where our seasons lack change, our festivals make up for it: Some standouts include garlic and mangoes. Well, breaking into rotation from noon to 6 p.m. this Sunday at Old School Square Cultural Arts Center (51 N. Swinton Ave.,…
Shad Gregory Moss, the artist formerly known as Lil’ Bow Wow, is a man-child of many talents. He raps, he acts, he twitters while driving drunk through the streets of Miami Beach. And Sunday, Bow Wow’s gonna show off his on-court skills (see: 2002’s orphan-becomes-NBA-superstar flick Like Mike) in a…
Sure, saving money from not having to buy expensive shampoo or haircuts is great on its own. But if you shave your head for charity this Saturday at Mickey Byrne’s Irish Pub & Restaurant, your hair will benefit childhood cancer research. The annual Saint Baldrick’s Day Fundraiser is worth seeing,…
Saint Patrick’s Day is one of those blessed holidays, like birthdays. If it falls on a workday, you get to celebrate it not once but twice. Well, it’s on a Wednesday this year, so save the nightlife drinking debauchery for then. Make Saturday for the festivals, for the family, for…
