  • Golfers’ Paradise

      When I think of golf, I think of my dad. As bizarre as it may sound, one of my earliest memories is of getting thumped in the chest by one of dad’s stray shots and having the wind knocked out of me. I was only four, and I was very lucky it wasn’t my head or my eye that took the hit. Like most traumatic events, everything happened in ...

  • Asian Culture Festival

    Miami's Less Traveled Path Every year during March, I like to head south. No, not South America (though Buenos Aires is certainly tempting) or even South of the Border. I simply drive a little ways south of my home to a lovely, rural part of Miami called the Redland. While it’s true that the words ‘rural’ and ‘Miami’ are usually not found ...

  • Texas de Brazil

    Things are getting even beefier on South Beach. The latest arrival in the battle of the steakhouses is Texas de Brazil, located on the water at Miami Beach Marina. Loosen your top belt loop, grab your knife and fork and get ready as waiters in gaucho garb roam table to table carving up an array of sizzling meats, including Angus beef, lamb, pork ...

  • Ready, set, eat!

      I’m making dinner reservations for August. Sound strange? Not really. August kicks off Miami Spice Restaurant Month, and folks who are familiar with this annual citywide dining promotion like to plan ahead. This is the time to check out Miami’s hottest restaurants – and still have money left over to pay the babysitter. During August ...

  • French Twist

      At least four of my closest friends are vacationing in France this summer. And with a list of home improvements as big as the Eiffel Tower, you can guess where I’ll be. Right in my own backyard, that’s where. So today’s blog is devoted to all things French. The only catch is that they are all right here in Miami. No expensive plane ...

  • The Barnacle Under Moonlight

    Moonlight Escapades Everyone’s heard the phrase Moon Over Miami. The song was written in 1935, followed by a rag-tag 1941 musical comedy starring Betty Grable and Don Ameche. The moon is still rising over Miami on a regular basis, and women are still coming to town trying to snag rich husbands (the movie’s plot and the source of much general ...
