Mac’s Club Deuce is marking its centennial in 2026, providing a timely starting point for exploring Miami’s oldest bars. Across Miami-Dade, drinking spots with roots stretching back decades still serve neighborhood regulars and visitors. Their histories include long closures and changes of address, so an original opening date does not always mean uninterrupted service. These six bars appear in order of their original beginnings, with reopenings and relocations noted along the

Scuba diving in Miami can mean exploring a coral reef in less than 30 feet of water or visiting a freighter near the 100-foot mark.

At Dragonfly Boutique in South Miami, the racks hold carefully selected fashion, accessories, home goods, and occasional designer discoveries.

A rocket launch is one of the few events you do not just watch, you feel. The engine ignition, the vibration, and the ascent happen in seconds but stay with you long after.

Artisan baking represents the perfect balance of science and culinary tradition. While the croissant is universally recognized as a French staple, it actually originated in Austria as the kipferl before arriving in Paris during the 1830s.

Of all the moments that capture Dolly Parton’s musical talents, fierce intelligence and driving ambition, I often find myself thinking back to an awkward, ad-libbed live television duet on “The Porter Wagoner Show.” Dolly Parton was fond of saying, ‘It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.’ Paul Natkin/Getty Images The year was 1973. Parton had been performing alongside Wagoner on the syndicated variety show since 1967. Though this had been her big break in Nashville, Part

Who ever thought ice skating would be possible in Miami, where temperatures can soar year-round? Yet you can lace up your skates and hit the ice, or trade the ice for wheels, at rinks across Miami and South Florida. Skating is also a surprisingly good workout. It builds balance and coordination, strengthens the legs and core, and improves cardiovascular fitness without feeling like a traditional gym session. And you don’t have to be an experienced skater to enjoy it. Beginner

Rock climbing is a workout that builds strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and focus while breaking up the usual gym routine. You don’t need experience to get started, either. Indoor climbing gyms offer challenges for every ability, making it an accessible way to stay active, try something new, and push yourself at your own pace. For this reason, we decided to create an indoor climbing guide. Get ready for some fun, rain or sunshine, as these are all indoor venues!

“I knew I wanted to be an entertainer. I could see myself singing and dancing in front of millions of people,” Zendaya wrote in her 2013 book, Between U and Me. Today, a decade and a half after she wrote those words, she has become far more than a typical entertainer—a multi-hyphenate who seamlessly moves between television, film, music, fashion, and beauty. And now, she is entering another chapter as the new global ambassador for Prada Beauty (prada-beauty.com) and the face

Before Miami had skyscrapers, traffic jams and beachside hotels, September 5 marked two very different moments in the city's history. Actually, September 5 gives us two snapshots of the city separated by just 49 years. The first takes us back to 1876, when Miami was still a remote pioneer settlement and a young woman named Rose Wagner was married in a tiny wooden chapel beside her family's home. The second takes us to 1925, at the height of South Florida's spectacular real e

Who doesn't like good chocolate? Here, we bring you some of Miami's finest sweet ateliers serving chocolate. But did you know that the transformation of bitter cacao seeds into a refined delicacy dates back more than three millennia to Mesoamerican civilizations, where it was first brewed as a sacred ritual beverage? Although some of that ritual has been lost, it has gained in other ways, as chocolatiers now do all kinds of things, from small-batch bean-to-bar production to f

Growing up, my brothers were fascinated by the first “Rocky” movie. They were trying to get stronger and excel in sports, so one scene stood out almost as much as Rocky sprinting up the museum steps: Before sunrise, Rocky cracked raw eggs into a glass and drank them. To a teenager, this raised some questions. Why raw eggs? Was this what you needed to build muscle and become stronger? Curiosity eventually won, but one gulp was enough. The drink was as nasty as it looked. The s

Imagine a plume of brown sediment is washed off the land into Queensland rivers and carried out to sea. Here, it can settle on seagrass and inshore corals, potentially smothering them. River water often also carries nitrogen from fertiliser residue, which can fuel algal growth and damage coral health. We have long known that poor water quality is a serious threat to areas of the Great Barrier Reef close to shore. The reef faces other major challenges, such as marine heatwaves

Walk into a gym or wellness store and you might encounter compression boots, smart rings, creatine supplements and ice baths. Their use by elite athletes can function as an implicit endorsement, making them seem more proven or more broadly useful than the evidence supports. It’s easy to assume that if elite athletes do something, it must be effective for everyone. mihailomilovanovic/E_ via Getty Images As an athletic trainer with experience in collegiate and professional spor
