Every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m., the Ellenville Garden Center transforms into the Ellenville Farmers’ Market — also known as the Moonlit Farmers Market. There’s food and wine and café tables. There’s usually a live band to provide the music, and local farmers to provide the company. In fact,…

Does watching other people burn massive amounts of calories participating in seemingly random Olympic sports (shooting? badminton? race walking?!) have you hankering for a nice plate of fat- and cholesterol-laden English food? If so, you’re in luck. Although it will never be mistaken for the streets of London, South Florida…
Some things are just made for one another. Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Cat videos and procrastinating on a project that’s due at the end of the day. Bacon and… well, everything. (At least, according to the internet.)Another thing that pairs nicely? South Florida foodies and the fifth-annual New Times Pairings on…
According to urban legend, 90 percent of restaurants fail within the first year. Studies say that figure is more like 60 percent, but still — the economy these past few years hasn’t done the industry any favors; many eateries that are not shuttering their doors or barely holding on have…
If you’ve spent any time on Yelp, you’ve realized by now that some of the reviews are pretty damned funny. OK, we’re not sure if they’re actually meant to be funny, but that’s probably the reason they make us snort coffee out of our noses from time to time. Apparently,…
This week, I reviewed Bistro Mezzaluna, a restaurant that’s beating the odds in the face of an economic downturn. Many eateries are currently shuttering their doors or barely holding on. Others are taking out obscene loans, hiring celebrity chefs to generate buzz, or demeaning themselves with desperate appearances on reality…
We’re nearly a week into the Olympic games and you’ve probably started to notice something — they’re kind of boring. During the endless replays, melodramatic athlete bios, and superfluous commentator banter, you may have caught yourself daydreaming about what it would be like to stand on that podium while “The…
The economy may continue to circle the drain, but that doesn’t mean the restaurant scene in South Florida has stagnated. July saw the openings of restaurants from Lake Worth to Pembroke Pines and everywhere in between, from fine dining (Italian Red Sauce and Stephane’s) to quick hits (Red Robin Gourmet…
When I was a kid — a good 20 years ago now — Deerfield Beach’s waterfront scene didn’t have many dining options. Sure, the Whale’s Rib and Amante were there in the late ’80s, but if you wanted something besides pizza or fried fish, a Slurpee at 7-Eleven was about…
Adding to the already busy summer of comings and goings in downtown Delray Beach, Atlantic Avenue welcomed yet another new dining option this week. E&J’s Sandwich Shop opened on Friday at 814 E Atlantic Avenue giving the quick-hit, beachy crowd a new spot to score snacks.The small space is the…
Summer means big concerts, and this summer is no exception. Listening to Dave Matthews and Kiss at Cruzan Amphiteatre might make your tummy rumbly. While hungry concertgoers take in the biggest acts this side of the Mississippi, chef Dave Rashty and his Stocked ‘N’ Loaded food trucks will have them…
Back in March of 2012, two companies associated with waterfront restaurant Shooters filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. According to the South Florida Business Journal, Roscoe, LLC (DBA Shooters) and BIMA, LLC filed for bankruptcy protection following a $10.5 million foreclosure lawsuit filed by FirstBank against BIMA, LLC, the company that owns…
This week’s movings and shakings in the Broward and Palm Beach restaurant worlds involve a new addition to Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, plus chef Angelo Elia’s seemingly never-ending pursuit of dominance of the South Florida dining scene. Read on for a look at some of the latest in the…
In just about a year and a half, Clay Conley has opened two restaurants and picked up a James Beard nomination for best chef in the south. Most importantly, we picked his Peking Duck Tacos as number one of our 100 favorite dishes. We decided to sit down with the…
When thinking about Neiman Marcus, a few things come to mind — tanorexic MILFs, elderly women dripping in diamonds, and that gorgeous, cherry-colored Marc Jacobs bag that I would sell my soul for. Recently, a friend suggested that I join her for a bite to eat at the famed department…
Couldn’t score a ticket across the pond for the London 2012 Olympics and now you’ll be stuck watching the summer games “in the colonies”? No worries; South Florida bars and restaurants are flying the Union Jack (next to the good ol’ Stars and Stripes, of course) in honor of the…
Jon Bon Jovi is coming to the Hard Rock Live tonight for his first-ever solo show with the Kings of Suburbia, and we thought it would be an opportune time to show gratuitous pictures of him inform you that his brother and dad have teamed up to bring “Great Grandma…
It used to be that if a New York City transplant asked for the best corned beef in Boca, everybody knew where to send him. Sure, the Wolfie Cohen’s Rascal House on Glades Road didn’t have the character of the original Wolfie’s on South Beach, but there was still that…

E! Online reports that Fat Actress star Kirstie Alley is being sued in a class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed on July 20 in Los Angeles Superior Court, by would-be dieter Marina Abramyan, who claims the diet supplements are bogus. Basically, the 28-page document states that Alley lost weight not by…
On the way to the Acreage, I exit the turnpike and turn onto Beeline Highway. There is not much around. Large forested lots with a few scattered gas stations — the image one would expect when heading out to a farm. I felt as though I had stepped away from…
