Fellini, The Miami Jewish Film Festival and Opera on the Silver Screen

South Florida is best known for the numerous outdoor activities available year round. But if your feet grow weary from walking on the beach week after week, there are plenty of cozy, independent theaters that provide patrons with films not found at your local multiplex.

Miami and Ft. Lauderdale have become havens of film culture thanks to the several film festivals that call South Florida home, and independent theaters that host regular programs, special events and more. From series that spotlight famous directors to special screenings accompanied with guest speakers, there is enough film culture to satisfy the most ravenous film buff.

We heart the off-season

The Palms Pimp Pink Pedicures for Good Cause

“Piiink is the color of passion,” squirts Steven Tyler, wrapping his mouth around “pink” like a giant musical condom. Come on, Steven used to be hot, but I digress. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month this October, The Palms Hotel and Spa is offering special pink packages-- 10% of the revenue of any pink manicure/pedicure (priced at $60) will benefit Aveda’s national charity partner, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Plus, you get complimentary glasses of Mirabelle Brut Rosé.

Have relaxation your way

For those who follow my columns, my blogs and read Miami.com on a daily basis (I hope that’s a lot of you out there, by the way) it might be kind of obvious that I am in love with champagne, cocktails of any sort, shopping deals and spas. This past week, I was feeling lucky once again when I was invited to media events at two top-notch yet totally different spas: Agua at the Mondrian and Lapis at the Fontainebleau.

These two spots are proof that in Miami you can have anything catered your way - even relaxation.

Spa week: Everyone needs a little pampering

As an editor, I meet a lot of great people, see a lot of cool new places and pretty much mingle about Miami always eager to spot new things. The usual. Cool, I know.

Miami nightlife crosses the border

The Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood is a place where friends meet with groups and gals bring their bachelorette on the loose to have one last hurrah. I would know this well, since I've been in both scenarios. There's something about the over-the-top casino/party spot that just keeps me coming back for more, even if that means driving north instead of south on I-95. And , being as how the former Spirits Nightclub was turned into Miami Beach hot-spot Opium this past weekend and I was invited to take a peek, I decided to go check it out.
