Being a grown-up is pretty lame. Go to work, run errands, pay bills. The daily grind is so boooooring. So who doesn’t love an opportunity to let your kid flag fly?

Enter the Color Run, a 5K of straight-up silliness that ends in a cornucopia of chromacity. You haven’t seen so many hues since your finger-painting days.

This stateside-famous event is all about entertainment: just a fun-for-all jaunt in which participants get pelted with a rainbow of “magical color dust.” (No, really, that is exactly how it’s described at the website.) You can run, walk, or skip the 3.1 miles. And there’s no timing, no pressure, no overly serious athletes, or other buzzkills.

A Southern fried New York favorite is about to become the newest member of Mary Brickell’s culinary scene. Say “Welcome y’all” to Brother Jimmy’s, a wildly popular barbecue joint and bar with locations across the Big Apple and the Caribbean.

It’s been a NYC mainstay since 1989, with six locations across the city. Epitomized by the slogan, “Put Some South in Yo’ Mouth”, it serves up classic barbecue, potent cocktails and an often-rowdy all-American experience.

We spoke with founder James Goldman, a mega-fan of the Magic City. One of his favorite things about our city? “Miami women love their meat.” Indeed.

According to authorities, there’s a good chance that last week’s face-eating incident was the result of mind-altering drugs. (Just say no, kids.)

But according to the rest of us, it may signal the beginning of an inevitable threat Hollywood has warned us about for years: a zombie apocalypse. (Just ask The Miami zombie.)

Naturally, we’re all a little concerned that the undead may choose our sunny paradise as their next city of smorgasbord. After all, the heat is nice and lubricating for their stiff limbs.

So, in the interest of being prepared, we spoke to zombie expert Jonathan Maberry, author of Zombie CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead on how best to survive a zombie apocalypse. Y’know, just in case.

Restaurant review for DinnerReviews.com

Vegetarian fare is in a genre all its own, with nuances, flavors and textures that differ significantly from omnivorous edibles. Some establishments succeed at mastering these distinctions and exploring the creative use of vegetables – and some fail, simply piecing together uninspired meatless substitutes. Yuga, an Asian restaurant dining experience is tucked away on a Coral Gables side street, and is a treasure trove of options for the curious vegetarian looking to indulge in new taste sensations. They cover all other genres of Asian-styled comestibles as well, including meats, fish and a whole host of other options.

Yelp tribute to Miami

Leave a comment

Before I met Miami, my life was a series of mercurial moves. I was a wanderer; a gypsy; always fleeing in earnest from one city to another. A “rambling (wo)man”, so to speak. In the words of Hank Williams, “Some folks may say that I’m no good/That I wouldn’t settle down if I could/But when that open road starts to calling me/There’s something o’er that hill that I gotta see.”

That was me. From Honolulu to Laramie and New York City to Napa; from Dallas to Washington, DC and Panama City Beach to Hollywood: my nomadic nature led me from one new city to another; free to begin anew, alone and unhindered.

Relationships were ended. Furniture was given away. Friends were left behind. Jobs were quit. After nine months or so in a new place, the familiar feelings of discontent would roll in like the tide and I’d be planning my next escape.

Then, I met the Magic City, and everything changed.

For children of the ’80s, nothing brings back the days of playgrounds and juice boxes like Steven Spielberg’s E.T. This epic tale of an unlikely friendship is the quintessential throwback to pre-CGI filmmaking and a pre-rehab Drew Barrymore. Some observers claim the film has a Christian subtext, others argue it’s a treatise on relationships between diverse races, and still another segment claims it’s a dark commentary on suburban boyhood. But whether you see E.T. as a Jesus-like figurehead or a first-generation X-File, it’s hard to ignore the cultural impact of the so-ugly-he’s-cute alien.

America has been outclassed, and by an unlikely competitor.

In the realm of alternative energy, there is an inconspicuous European nation that could stand to teach the U.S. a few lessons — Denmark.

Besides being home to the world’s happiest people, according to a study this year by a social psychologist at England’s University of Leicester, this small country, badly battered by oil shocks in decades past, has become a leader in the field of renewable energy.
