Nedal Ahmad / Pincho Factory

Posted on    by

Local favorite Pincho Factory recently opened its second location in the heart of Coral Gables. With chalkboard painted walls, reclaimed wood tables and an inviting atmosphere, the restaurant has quickly been embraced by its new neighborhood. Chat Chow TV sat down with Pincho Factory owner Nedal Ahmad and learned more about the restaurant specialities and the inspirations for the menu.

The restaurant gets its name from the skewers – or “pinchos” – that are prominently featured on the menu. Guests can customize them to their liking opting for steak, chicken or shrimp, served in either a salad, rice bowl or pita, with an assortment of sauces and toppings.

While pinchos are the namesake, what has really made the restaurant a dining destination is its over-the-top burgers such as its Toston Burger, which was recently featured on Travel Channel’s “Burgerland,” and its Pastelito Burger. The menu also features a selection of weekly food special depending on Ahmed’s mood.

“The chalkboard specials usually reflect what I’m craving that week,” said Ahmad with a laugh. “Occasionally it’ll have something to do with the season, but usually its revolving around my cravings.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner daily, until 1am on Friday and Saturday, and even features a decadent brunch on Sundays serving up items such as Red Velvet Pancakes and Banana Bread French Toast.

Burgerliscious Returns To The Gables!

“Savor” the date for the third annual Burgerliscious festival! Bonafide burger aficionados will be able to sink their teeth into gourmet burgers dreamed up by more than twenty of Coral Gables’ premier restaurants.

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will also benefit the Coral Gables Community Foundation to help support small business programs.

Trowbridge, President and CEO of The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. “Our burger festival is designed to continue to position Coral Gables as a foodie mecca, no matter your style, budget or gastronomic cravings. It is about more than meat and cheese and bacon and toppings; it is about the culinary experience.”

“I’m thrilled to be a part of the 3rd annual Burgerliscious festival. We want to showcase the Gables very own premiere restaurants to the community. As this festival grows each year, this is one you don’t want to miss out on,” said Wayne Eldred, owner/operator of Tarpon Bend Raw Bar & Grill.

Carlos Mencia at Magic City Casino

Posted on    by

Carlos Mencia is still funny as shit

Despite legions of shitalkers saying otherwise, Carlos is a funny fuckin bastard. He had a hilarious set at a sold out Magic city Casino this past October 18th. He joked about sharks talking shit to the girl who got her arm bit off surfing and then went back into the water. Americans needing to staple their stomachs shut when they should just hire starving Africans to hit the food out of their hands before they eat it. As well as kids past 18 who do not leave their parents house when their dads just want to be able to get blown in their own kitchens. The show was really funny and we can not wait to see him again.

“Whether you are gay, straight, lesbian, transgender or bisexual, this party  features an environment of inclusion and acceptance like no other event in South Florida, said Tony Lima, SAVE Dade’s executive director.  Nobody that takes Halloween seriously should miss this fundraiser for the efforts of Save Dade.

SAVE Dade is recognized as Miami-Dade County’s leading organization dedicated to protecting people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) against discrimination.

Vizcaya Halloween Sundowner at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

Posted on    by

The Vizcayans hosted their 27th annual Halloween Sundowner, the premier Halloween Party in Miami and highly anticipated annual fundraiser benefiting Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Guests enjoyed complimentary liquor, wine and beer, canapés, dancing under the stars to a live band and a DJ, costumes watching and the thrill of Vizcaya after dark. There was also a costume contest judged by reps from Miami New Times, Yelp and Brickell Magazine, and awards for an array of categories.

Unlike any other South Florida Halloween party, the Halloween Sundowner’s unique location at Vizcaya serves as the perfect spot for a spooky soiree! In an unparalleled fashion, the property is entirely transformed into a veritable haunted house including Vizcaya’s enormous outdoor veranda overlooking Biscayne Bay where the naughty and nice inevitably mingle while enjoying tasty libations until late into the night.

A special thanks goes out to the sponsors that include Brickell/Key Biscayne Magazine, Absolut, Malibu Rum, Chivas Regal, Dos Equis XX, Thierry’s Catering and Car2Go. Guests arriving in a Car2Go were able to park in a Free Preferred Parking Zone, the closest parking spots to the party.

The Vizcayans mission is to assist the Museum and Miami-Dade County in addressing the complex and costly needs of Vizcaya through its advocacy. The Vizcayans plays an important role in preserving Vizcaya and making the Museum accessible to all. For more than fifty years, The Vizcayans have raised funds for Vizcaya Museum and Gardens through special events, membership and donor programs, bequests, and the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Endowment Fund.

54th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Long-Sharp Gallery
From October 31 to November 4
Greater Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center
1950 Eisenhower Boulevard
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

As Seafair, the megayacht art venue, docks at the 54th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Long-Sharp Gallery will present rare works by the masters of modern and contemporary art. More than a dozen original drawings by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Pablo Picasso will be aboard the 228-foot ship – the largest of its kind built for commercial operation on the Intercoastal Waterway. Gallerist Rhonda Long-Sharp, who, with record sales at Scope Miami 2012 and Art Palm Beach 2013, will for the first time present an exquisite sampling of the “Icons and Irony” exhibition in South Florida.

The selection will include a rare 1901 original drawing and watercolor by Pablo Picasso, authenticated by Maya Widmaier-Picasso (a daughter of Picasso); multiple early drawings by Warhol, authenticated by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and never privately-owned; an early drawing by Basquiat authenticated by his estate; two Lichtenstein drawings archived by his estate, including one of two known examples of his Brushtroke Stamp, and several works from notable up-and-coming contemporary artists: David Kramer, Russell Young and David Datuna. Viewers will notice the reoccurring theme of the drawing, to show its importance as the foundation of art making and increasing demand in the marketplace.

Long-Sharp Gallery’s fine art aboard the Seafair will be among an important group of luxury and fine art galleries – and arrives on the heels of the gallery’s 2013 exhibition at Masterpiece London, an annual British fair that brings together collectors, exhibitors and curators from around the world. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show sale also comes at a time when Long-Sharp’s “Icons and Irony” exhibition is listed among the top fall gallery shows in the world by Modern Painters magazine.

StudioLifeTuesday, October 29th, 7:00 pm
Gallery Diet
174 NW 23rd St
Miami, FL 33127

Please join us Tuesday, October 29th at 7:00 for a panel discussion with Christy Gast, Nicolas Lobo, Christina Lei Rodriguez and Bhakti Baxter. Moderated by Sarah Trigg Author of Studio Life: Rituals, Tools, Collections and Observations on the Artistic Process.

In 2009 artist and writer Sarah Trigg embarked on an ambitious field expedition across the United States, interviewing more than 200 artists in their studios. She sat down with everyone, from painters to performance artists, to investigate a wide range of artmaking practices. The result is Studio Life, a fascinating photographic and written account of 100 of her visits. Trigg asks her subjects to share objects and working habits in six categories: mascots, collected objects, rituals, makeshift tools, residue, and habitats. These talismans and behaviors provide a framework for artists to reveal insights into their practices and the nature of the creative life. Intriguing and often humorous anecdotes emerge, of one studio’s mysterious sealed vault, another’s resident bunny, and countless sources of inspiration are unearthed: vintage comics, purses, and kitschy figurines; faded yearbooks and treasured cards and letters; and one handwritten reminder to Quit Feelin’ Sorry for Yourself. Accessible and relevant for amateur aesthetes and art-world professionals, Studio Life offers an insider’s view of the artistic process as well as a snapshot of the most interesting work being produced today.

Among the 100 artists featured in Studio Life such as William Wegman, Pat Steir, John Baldessari, Carol Bove, Rashid Johnson, Peter Halley, Fred Tomaselli, Tony Oursler, Jim Shaw, Michelle Grabner, Tauba Auerbach, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Dana Schutz, and David Altmejd, to name a few, the book features the Miami-based artists George Sánchez-Calderón, the TM Sisters, Victoria Gitman, Pablo Cano and our panelists Christy Gast, Nicolas Lobo, Cristina Lei Rodriguez and Bhakti Baxter.

Sarah Trigg is an artist, writer, photographer, and the creator behind the widely read website The Goldminer Project (thegoldminerproject.com). She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

You’ve seen his work from I-95, foregrounding Bob Marley on one entire side of Armory Studios, a well-honed splash of magic that can’t be missed, no matter how fast you’re navigating the highway.

You’ve seen his work at Fountain Art Fair, Gallery 305 and at Lauderdale’s Fat Village, where his Industrial Gate thresholds the way for the wily willing to venture north of the Dade County Line.

And make no mistake, it is that County Line which corrals and defines the man and the work. For it is there where, back in ‘85, he threw up Dade’s very first Wall of Fame. And there where the next year he staged Dade’s first graffiti-themed gallery. It is The 305, dig? And he is one of its original street heroes.

The cat is known as Hec One Love, and he and his inimitable imaging have done much to make Miami (and Miami-Dade) an absolutely singular sensation.

This Black Friday night, at Win 317, the man of many wonders pops-up with Love-ism, an experience in artful commodification that’ll price tag everything from one-of-a-kind souvenir-sized collectibles to specially-commissioned murals. This being Hec, it’ll also spur you to see the world from a whole new horizon.

De Beaufort is an artist and filmmaker living in Lake Worth, Florida where he is an Associate Professor of Visual Art at Palm Beach State College. Over the last decade, since receiving his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts, de Beaufort has worked steadily towards the construction of a unique and visionary surrealist cosmology expressed through his paintings created while working “in the contemporary space, but to always be reaching for a realm that exists outside of now but simultaneous with both the past and present”. De Beaufort has exhibited extensively in South Florida, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London and has received substantial critical support for his work including his first feature length film Sanctum and Sacrum, music videos and the founding of his project space UNIT1 Exhibitions in Lake Worth, FL.

In addition, Tongue & Cheek is asking all diners to bring non-perishable, kid-friendly food items including, but not limited to, granola bars, raisins, apple sauce, crackers, macaroni and cheese and canned soups to be donated to Feeding South Florida’s “Backpack Program.” Seeking to fill the void of the necessary nutrients children need to live, learn and play, Feeding South Florida provides backpacks full of food for thousands of low-income children throughout Miami Dade on Friday afternoons. This food nourishes the children on the weekend when other food might not be available. Many times, low-income children don’t eat between leaving school on Friday and the school breakfast on Monday morning. Not only will diners who bring food items in be helping a great cause, they will also receive a special Halloween treat.

FIU Theatre presetns: Sleeping Beauty
by Rufus Norris, Guest Director Margaret M. Ledford

This adaptation of the classic fairy tale is a wildly irreverent treat that will delight children and grown-ups alike. It focuses on Goody, the fairy who puts the famous curse on Beauty and spends the rest of the play trying to make everything turn out all right. Yes, there is a princess who pricks her finger and falls into a magic sleep, but there is also a vicious ogre mother-in-law, and ungrateful queen, and, in the center of it all, a grumpy fairy whose magic comes with stinky gas.

Directions at: wpac.fiu.edu or email: wpac@fiu.edu

Tickets: $10 Students, $12 Seniors & Faculty/Staff (with ID), $15 General Admission.
Available at wpac.fiu.edu or 305-348-0496.

Sleeping Beauty Special Events:
– Opening Night Reception: Friday, November 8 – Pre & post-show refreshments beginning at 7PM.
– Theatre of the Mind: Sunday, November 10 – A 45-minute post show panel discussion of the ideas and topics of the play.
– Inside Scoop: Wednesday, November 13 – A 30-minute behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show led by select members of the cast and production teams.

Miami, FL 33130
Tickets: $10
Please Pre-Register Online
Share on Facebook

A forum presented by Life is Art and the Arts & Business Council to outline the possibilities and penalties, opportunities and threats faced by artists and arts groups about the new health care law.

Schedule:
3:00-3:30pm – Arrival and registration
3:30-5:00pm – Seminar
5:00-6:00pm – Socializing with sponsored drinks and bites
provided by Elwoods GastroPub, KIND Healthy Snacks, Marley Coffee, Scratch Bakery, Mad Chiller, Vita Coco

Many artists and nonprofit arts groups in Miami-Dade are woefully unaware of the details concerning the Affordable Care Act. The new law brings big changes and opportunities for independent artists and organizations, but with it also comes potential dangers and penalties. The act is confusing and for both individuals and groups. This forum will provide all the information at one time and in one place. Everything you need to know about the new law but were afraid to ask.

Panelists:
Louis Balbirer – Kaufman Rossin & Co.
Maura Shiffman – MPH, Community Health Specialist, Health Council of South Florida
Sandra Garcia – Marketplace Certified Agent, Creative Healthcare Marketing
Sean Dugan – Senior Vice-President, Hayes Company

The program will cover:

For Artists and Contract Employees:
1. Many artists and nonprofit employees are currently uninsured or under-insured. This is a great opportunity for everyone to get health insurance and have a medical safety net.
2. Are artists and individuals required to have insurance? Find out the facts to avoid penalties and fines.
3. What is the deadline that everyone must be insured?
4. What are the options for health insurance and coverage? Learn the details about the types of coverage available and how artists and arts employees can find affordable care.
5. What resources are available to help navigate the new health plans and to find the ones that are right for you.
6. Do you qualify for a subsidy or tax credit? Many people are eligible for a subsidy in the cost of coverage depending on your income level and other factors.

For Arts Groups and Employers
1. What does health care reform mean for nonprofit groups?
2. Is your group eligible to get money back? If your organization pays the health premiums for your employees you might be eligible for a credit or subsidy based on the size of your staff, salary levels and insurance costs. Learn how to qualify for money back.
3. What facts should groups provide employees? As a nonprofit your arts group is responsible for letting your employees know what your business offers them in terms of health insurance and what their options are. We will provide sample notices and provide you with the tools to explore your options.
4. Is my group required to provide health insurance coverage?

This forum will cover all the aspects of the new insurance options and help you understand what your options are. This is crucial information for artists and art organizations. Participants will also receive a checklist and a tool box of resources to help them navigate the brave new world of affordable options. Following the seminar, there will be a social hour with sponsored refreshments and time for personal questions to the presenters.

FUNDarte & Teatro El Publico
In collaboration with the Cuban Theater Digital Archive, and University of Miami’s Departments of Theater Arts, Modern Languages and Literatures and the Center for Latin American Studies present a highly unconventional and innovative staging of the Pulitzer Prize winning play “Anna in the Tropics” by Nilo Cruz in three full-evening performances at the Colony Theater (1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach), on Friday and Saturday, November 22nd and 23rd at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday November 24th at 5:00 p.m.

The original text by Nilo Cruz is transformed in this new production directed by Carlos Díaz of the famed Havana based Teatro El Público, and performed in Spanish with English supertitles by members of Teatro El Público in collaboration with Miami performing artists Carlos Caballero, Lili Rentería and Mabel Roch, with a performance by Elizabeth Doud. Cuban guest artists include Osvaldo Doimeadios, Fernando Hechavarria, and Alexis Diaz de Villegas, among others.

The notoriously irreverent Díaz’s unique new adaptation of the play updates and complicates the already inspired story via layers of contemporary ingredients that expand the work conceptually and resonate powerfully with Miami’s diverse immigrant communities and Cuban audiences alike.

About the play: Set in 1929 in Tampa, this now-classic drama showcases the plight of a community of cigar factory workers facing pressures from the mechanization of the cigar industry. The story focuses on a ‘lector’ – a person hired by cigar workers to read to them in the factory. He is presumably the last of his breed as eminent industrialization is making his work obsolete. The personal struggles of the characters unfold as Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is read in the factory, creating a narrative that poetically blurs distinctions between art and life. This highly charged work explores themes of immigration, conflicts about new technologies and lost traditions and the longing for passions beyond one’s reach.

This performance is co-produced with Teatro El Público, and supported by funding from the Miami Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs’ International Cultural Exchange Grant.

Rock The Ocean Tortuga Music Festival 4/12/14-4/13/14

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

HUKA Entertainment proudly announces the return of Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival.

Tortuga Music Festival, produced and promoted by HUKA Entertainment, is a two-day music festival on the beach featuring nearly two dozen of the hottest artists in country, rock and roots music. Created together with the Rock the Ocean Foundation, the event serves to celebrate the festival’s ocean side setting while raising awareness of issues impacting the world’s oceans and supporting marine research and conservation.

Multiple award-winning recording and performing artists Luke Bryan and Eric Church will be hitting the beach this spring as headliners when Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival returns to the sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach Park in Florida on April 12th and 13th. Joining headliners Luke Bryan and Eric Church will be Hank Williams Jr., Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, 38 Special, Parmalee and Eric Paslay.

As tens of thousands of fans enjoy the sun, songs, sand and surf at the unique oceanfront event, Bryan and Church will be joined by fellow first-wave lineup artists including San Francisco multi-platinum act Train, nine-time Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow, country chart-topper Billy Currington, rock, folk, reggae and funk beach fusion pioneers Slightly Stoopid, reggae legend Ziggy Marley, powerhouse vocalist Brett Eldredge, folk singer-songwriter Brett Dennen, inventive roots rockers Delta Rae, “Chillin’ It” singer and celebrated songwriter Cole Swindell, Nashville rockers Moon Taxi, genre-jumping septet The Revivalists, folk/funk band White Denim, “Helluva Life” hit-maker Frankie Ballard, Paste’s Best of What’s Next sibling duo Brothers Osborne, “How She Rolls” singer Chase Rice, “Booze Cruise” hitmakers Blackjack Billy, modern folk rockers Sons of Fathers and blues-infused rock band Quaker City Nighthawks. Additional top-name talent will be revealed in the coming weeks.

“We’re incredibly excited to announce our return to the legendary white sands of Fort Lauderdale’s premiere beach,” says HUKA Entertainment co-founder and CEO A.J. Niland. “We’ve been fortunate to have the support of not only the community and fans but a tremendous response from artists as well, all of which is going to make us bigger and better in 2014.”

“When I first dreamed a few years ago of an event that would celebrate the ocean via music, I never imagined it would turn into one of the leading music festivals in America,” adds Rock The Ocean founder Chris Stacey. “Fort Lauderdale Beach on the majestic Atlantic Ocean is the perfect setting to remind everyone why the preservation of our waterways and marine life is so important.”
Niland says 2014’s Tortuga Music Festival lineup will feature a lineup similar to its inaugural year, where over 25,000 festival attendees enjoyed headliners Kenny Chesney and Eric Church along with The Avett Brothers, Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite, Jake Owen, Lynryd Skynyrd, and many more.

“I can’t imagine a better lineup in our first year than the one we had,” says Niland. “But we’re dedicated to making sure our next bill is even more impressive, if that’s possible, and have already confirmed top-caliber artists for 2014.”

Anchored by live music performances across three stages, the centerpiece to Tortuga Music Festival is its Conservation Village, curated by Stacey, where over 20 organizations dedicated to marine research and conservation will provide interactive, educational experiences for festival patrons.

Stacey notes that the Conservation Village will likewise offer premium content in its sophomore outing, after featuring such notables as The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, Shark Savers, Sea Turtle Oversight Protection and nineteen other exhibits in year one. “Guy Harvey is a rock star in his own right, and it was such a pleasure to have him here in 2013 signing autographs and meeting fans in the village to discuss conservation” says Stacey. “That’s a hard act to follow, so we’re pulling out all the stops this time around.”

Additionally, in 2013, festival-goers were encouraged to collect garbage at the event site to minimize the festival’s impact on the environment. “Over 1,000 bags were filled with waste by fans in our first year, which tells us that our cause is as important to music and ocean lovers as it is to us,” says Stacey.

“One thing we heard repeatedly this year from both the artists and the fans was how much fun everyone had with their feet in the sand and the sound of the waves blending with the music,” says Niland. “That makes it hard to forget who the true headliner of our event is – the ocean – and what we can do to make sure it returns every year.”

JANUARY 24-25, 2014

With Miriam, renowned choreographer and dancer Nora Chipaumire creates her first character-driven work — a deeply personal dance-theatre performance that looks closely at the tensions women face between public expectations and private desires, between selflessness and ambition, and between the perfection and sacrifice of the feminine ideal. Inspired by South African singer and activist Miriam Makeba with original music by Cuban pianist Omar Sosa, the work layers text, sound and image that enrich the mysterious and haunting world of Chipaumire’s creation.

The Criminal Castrati’s anarchic brechtian blues trio, The Tiger Lillies, are an extraordinary three piece band creating music that is a startling mixture of opera, gypsy song and left bank Paris. Fronted by singer Martyn Jacques who trained himself as an opera singer with a castrati style voice of heartbreaking beauty whilst living alone above a strip joint in Soho for seven years, and accompanied by drummer Adrian Huge and double bass player Adrian Stout. The Tiger Lillies sing savage and passionate songs about prostitutes, drug addicts and losers, their voices soaring and growling like men possessed.

Photographs of Miami Disco Fever Miami’s Reunion at Milander Performance Art Center on 10/12/13

Posted on    by

Miami Disco Fever Miami’s Reunion at Milander Performance Art Center on Saturday, October 12, 2013.

On October 12, 2013, at the newly renovated Milander Performance Center, over 1200 disco fans gathered for one big night of the Miami Disco Fever Reunion! Organized by long-time promoter Charlie Rodriguez and hosted by popular radio DJ Leo Vela, the night featured performances from some of the biggest names in disco, including George McCrae, Timmy Thomas, Jimmy ‘Bo’ Horne, as well as a KC and the Sunshine Band tribute by the Old Skool Gang.

Henry Stone, the legendary founder of TK Records and many other labels, received a proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Hialeah, Carlos Hernandez. Mayor Hernandez is himself a big fan of TK Records and joined in with the people who packed the dance floor throughout the night. The day of October 12, 2013 was proclaimed as the official TK Records Day in Hialeah.

Henry Stone’s labels throughout the 1970s cranked out hundreds of hot tracks and included over 25 gold and platinum records, all from a little studio in the upstairs of his distributor warehouse in Hialeah. Some of his biggest acts included George McCrae on TK Records, KC and the Sunshine Band on on TK Records, Latimore on Glades, Bobby Caldwell on Clouds, Gwen McCrae on Cat, Foxy on on Dash, Jimmy “Bo” Horne on Sunshine Sound, Anita Ward on Juana, Timmy Thomas on Glades, Betty Wright on Alston, T-Connection on Dash, Peter Brown on Drive and too many more to list. Dozens of artists passed through his doors throughout his 60+ years in the music business and Henry’s impact on both the music and the business has been felt throughout the world.

The Miami Disco Fever Reunion on October 12, 2013 was a fitting tribute to a man who has done so much for the music business.

“Foundation of A System”

This SATURDAY at BASE, we are very to welcome Flinch to BASE at Space!

Los Angeles based beat maker Adam Glassco, better known as Flinch, is no stranger to the EDM world. A veteran producer who has progressed effortlessly from his beginnings in drum & bass and then electro, to current endeavors into jump-up and deeper, more melodic synth-based dubstep. The succession of sounds Flinch adheres to reflects a new breed of artists distinguished most by his ability to marry a massive, tear-out bassline with a melody that could serenade your grandmother, or create tracks that pair careful grit & distortion with catchy songwriting. A true tastemaker, Flinch consistently delivers a wide selection of cuts riding between the UK funky, club, moombahton, techno, garage, and dubstep genre lines. There is an undeniable buzz in the bass music world for Flinchʼs recent productions on labels like SMOG and Trouble & Bass records, but most notably the massive “World On Fire,” which has often been championed by Skrillex, 12th Planet, and Datsik and is making a huge impact with audiences worldwide

Also on the decks, RR’s own Johnny Terror and Radamas. Come experience the NEW UNDERGROUND taking place in the BASEment of Club Space!!! Tell your friends to tell their friends, everybody is welcome to experience what goes down in the BASement after dark… #WERAGEHARDER

This Halloween, SUSHISAMBA Miami Beach will forgo traditional party themes and opt for a creative approach to celebrate our favorite fall holiday. On Thursday, October 31 from 7 p.m. – 3 a.m., the restaurant will honor Japanese tradition with its 8th Annual Cosplay Halloween Party. A marriage of the words “costume” and “play”, the iconic Japanese concept of cosplay is the act of dressing up in disguises that depict characters from anime, video games and movies.

When guests enter SUSHISAMBA Miami Beach, Harajuku-themed decorations will transport them immediately to the bustling streets of Tokyo. Taiko drummers, Cirque X dancers, and staff dressed as Geisha girls will add to the evening’s playful, funky ambiance. DJs will spin an intoxicating mix of Japanese pop music and crowd favorites while guests dine, dance and admire outrageous costumes until the wee hours of the morning.

The party will take place both inside and outside the restaurant, with a giant outdoor celebration on Pennsylvania Avenue, mirroring Tokyo’s Harajuku district, where cosplay enthusiasts often gather for photographs and costume contests. Prizes will be awarded for “best costume” and Halloween-themed smoked pumpkin caipirinhas ($12) – made with Mezcal, cachaça, pumpkin purée and muddled lime – will be available, along with complimentary Japanese candies throughout the evening.

CRAFT: Spirits & Beer (CRAFT), a namesake three day program concentrating on the beverage industry’s fastest growing segment announces their roster for industry and public festivities. The event, which takes place from November 8 – 10, 2013, will anchor with a tasting gallery experience on November 9, 2013 and will include educational panel discussions hosted by some of the industry’s most influential beverage specialists, a masters’ dinner series as well as after-hour festivities.

Taking over Soho Studios in Miami’s Wynwood district, CRAFT will showcase some of the industry’s best artisanal spirits and beers. Curated by a distinguished advisory board, each producer will be carefully evaluated to ensure there is a perfect blend. Thus far, an exciting line up of exhibitors include brands like Koval, High West Distillery, Dry Fly Distilling and Benromach Distillery, Balcones, St. George, Miami Club Rum, Atsby Vermouth, Cape Distillers, Compass Box and Tuthilltown Spirits.

Beverage enthusiasts will have their chance to participate in several great events with proceeds benefitting the Florida Craft Distillers Guild and Florida Brewers Guild. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.craftspiritsandbeer.com/tickets:

Tasting Gallery Experience: Enjoy a true craft experience with unique beverages perfectly paired with some of the city’s most authentic eats. Tickets for the tasting gallery experience can be purchased for an early price of $50 per person for general admission (3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) or $75 per person for VIP (2 p.m. to 6 p.m.)

Educational Panel Discussions: Panel Discussions offer on trend topics like What is Craft? with special guest Chuck Cowdery and The Art of Scotch Whisky Blending with John Glaser. Tickets for seminars range in price and start at $25 per person.

Masters Dinner Series: Taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the dinners are both educational and intimate. Dinners include Artisanal Cognacs at Copper Box with host Nicolas Palazzi ($170 per person), American Craft Whisky at Michael’s Genuine Food and Drink with Chuck Cowdery ($150 per person) and Balcones Whiskey Pairing Dinner with Chip Tate at Yardbird ($150 per person).

Craft Cocktail BBQ: James Beard-nominated mixologists Elad Zvi and Gabriel Orta of The Broken Shaker will host a craft cocktail barbecue, sponsored by High West, St. George, Dry Fly and Tapatio. The event is complimentary and invite only.

“As we have seen over the past decade with food, both in our homes and restaurants, people are more aware and concerned with knowing the source of what they consume and how it’s made. The farm-to-table movement is really a nod to old processes, a step back in time,” says Massolo. “With CRAFT, I hope to bridge a similar gap, one that grows the understanding of and appreciation for small batch spirits and beers being made with great care; many, following family recipes, helping revive their surrounding community or following historic and traditional guidelines.”  

In addition to CRAFT, Massolo has launched Spirited Sirens the blog and Spirited Sirens: A Tasting Event, the latter a series of “offline interactives” geared towards women. Both companies are subsidiaries of her parent company, The Liquid Projects.
