Waterfront: Miami's got a lot of it. Twenty percent of the county's total area is water. Waterfront restaurants? Hmm. If you mean places diners can get up close and personal with nature — where they can virtually feed fish from their table, and... More »
Natural disasters -- tornadoes, tidal waves, whatever -- are hardly unique to our little weather zone. Nor is thumbing one's nose in the face of Madre Nature's power-tripping. But hurricane parties are a form of gallows humor that... More »
