    Fort Lauderdale is lacing up for one hell of a night. At 8 p.m., our Florida Panthers hit the ice at Amerant Bank Arena for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, and yes, we still have chills from last year's run. But this time? We're back, battle-hardened, and ready to finish the job. Whether you're catching the game from a raucous sports bar, a sticky dive, or a craft beer haven, Fort Lauderdale bars are the place to be tonight.

    Before we dive in, let me set the record straight: the best Cuban coffee you will ever have in Miami doesn't come from a legendary Cuban restaurant or a great coffee shop.

    Some things in Miami definitely need an upgrade, like the Metrorail system, the U.S. Post Office along Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove (for real), and maybe, just maybe, your apartment complex's pool area if it was built before 2005. But a beloved, grungy dive bar with decades of wear, tear, personality, sticky floors, and stories to tell?! That's exactly what is going down over at Seven Seas bar (also written as Se7as Bar), which was named New Times' Best Karaoke in 2024.

    Times are tough, and trying to manage a healthy diet by cooking at home (or just trying to buy great snacks for your upcoming Fourth of July barbecue) is more costly than ever — and now we have the stats to prove it.

    A bakery and coffee shop beloved by everyone from classic Gables residents to singer Joe Jonas is now the home of a brand new pop-up. Hint: It's umami, hot, and absolutely a secret (that is, until now). Tinta y Cafe in Coral Gables is now the home of a hot ramen pop-up called Peacock Ramen, which occurs every Saturday from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. It already has every local food blogger in Miami drooling for more — and New Times knows why.
