Poppin' fresh features
Everyone has their favorite websites. Some of us go through gossip withdrawal without a daily hit of thesuperficial.com. For others, it's a blog that makes you wish the author was your bff/neighbor/cube mate/hipster knitting circle buddy, like Mindy Kaling's (The Office) mindyephron.blogspot.com. Okay, maybe that's just me.
With that in mind, Miami.com is constantly trying to come up with stories that'll both inform and entertain. And hopefully amaze you with our Miami-loving savvy-ness. So, here are a few features we think you'll enjoy and will be seeing on a regular basis. Let us know what you think, and if you don't see something you wish you saw, well, then tell us, silly.
Under deconstruction: One of our resident wine lovers (we like the grape around here), Danny Brody, thanklessly visits high-end restaurants and tells us which bottles are a deal and which ones are just overpriced Ernest & Julio Gallo (no offense).
Culinary cage match: It's Brody once again, this time pitting a dish at a high-end resto against a mom-and-pop fave, like this week's Meatball battle with DeVito South Beach in one corner and Italian market Laurenzo's in the other.
Wino confidential: You don't need to sip car payment-priced bottle of wine in a chi chi South Beach lounge to have a good time. Our other resident wine lover, Dinkinish O'Connor, proves this with her new series. Wine makes a cameo in each of her tales, her first being a "wine spliff" of Sutter Home while encountering a cheating brother-in-law and cab sav-drinking stripper.
Save the date: South Beach isn't the only place to take a date. In fact, some girls might think that's downright cliche. So, we're compiling the "perfect date night" in 'hoods all over Miami: Coral Gables, Homestead, even Kendall (and it doesn't even involve going to Chili's or Town & Country mall).
These are just a handful of the new things we've got on the site. There's more to come, so keep checking back. In the meantime, I'll crack open this bottle of E&JG I've got under my desk. Cheers.
