Sometimes I feel like I exist on a different planet than say, everyone else. Example: Fifty Shades of Grey is coming out in movie form on the most cliché day ever, Valentine’s Day. It seems that I am the only person left on earth that has not read/has no interest […]
I was recently invited to check out La Mancha, a new Spanish restaurant in Downtown Miami. It is conveniently located across the street from the American Airlines Arena, and a few blocks away from the Arsht Center, so it is perfect for a pre- or post-game or theater outing. They […]
Yes, it is a rare Tuesday morning post here at Florida Keys Girl HQ. But that is because I have something awesome to share: free donuts, or coffee, or bagels, or whatever you like that Dunkin Donuts sells. I’m giving away a $25 gift card to one lucky reader. Enter below! […]
I have often said it is the most fun you can have on Duval Street. Part of the annual Key West Food and Wine Festival, Duval Uncorked is a wine tasting encompassing wine bars, art galleries, shops, restaurants and food trucks up and down the infamous Key West street. This year it was […]

Last week I had the good fortune of being invited to the Union Des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGC) tasting of the 2012 vintage at LIV nightclub, in the Fontainebleau hotel, sponsored by Total Wine and More. This was one spectacular event. With 90-something wineries represented, we got a pretty […]
I’ve got three words for you: Fried. Grilled. Cheese. Himmarshee Public House, in downtown Fort Lauderdale, has recently rolled out some new menu items, and I was lucky enough to attend a media dinner tasting them all. The Public House is a lovely bar, with a huge list of craft beers […]
