Ultra

Only 31 days,1 hour, 18 minutes… Until Ultra Music Festival kicks off

Let the line up rumors begin!

Despite Ultra Music Fest 2010 still being a month away, hotel rooms are starting to get totally booked and ticket prices are shooting up. Even though the Cavalia  tent still has its steak in Bicentennial Park (for now) start dusting off your glowsticks and rainbow bracelts for an ALL DAY rave with some of the best DJ’s in the world

Never been before?

Here are some  pointers

1. Do NOT wear sandals. You are more likely to return home with a staph infection than those sandals you wore.

2. Bring a hat or sunscreen, and some sunglasses. This is Miami after all.

3. Bottled water at ultra will cost you what alcohol costs at a club. Bring your own if possible.

4. Bring cash. Yes there are ATMs, but you will regret it once you see how much the fee for using it was.

5. If you do decide you MUST get to the front, do so at the rick of being trampled… oh and good luck getting out.

Thats all for now, stay tuned.

Food Network Food & Wine Festival: Heading to Miami

 

This year marks the 9th annual Food Network’s  Wine and Food festival.  From the 25th of February till the 28th, The Food Network will be serving up a plethora of yummy events, conventions, and tastings for those of us already enjoying paradise here in Miami Beach, but more importantly, for all you out of towners trying to get away from a blizzard or two. Hope you got your tickets already if you plan to attend, because by now there is probably not a single hotel room in south beach that hasn’t been booked since December.

Kicking off the festivities on Thursday will be The Burger Bash, hosted by Rachael Ray. It takes place on the white sand beaches of the Ritz-Carlton South Beach, where some of the countries most talented burger makers are going to be competing for the title of crowd favorite. This competition requires the basic beef patties and buns, and the rest is up to the chefs. As you much on burgers and several original entries, vote for your favorite, and end the night with decadent desserts and “The Number One Chocolate Chip Cookie in the World”. Some of the competitors include 8 Oz. Burger Bar, BLT Burger, China Grill Management, Meat Market, Shake Shack, Bourbon Steak, and many many more.

Next up on Friday is Wine Spectator’s Best of the Best event hosted within the confines of the famous Fontainebleau Miami Beach. And they do not take the title of The Best lightly. Some of the top champagnes will be on full display as will the french Ambassador, Pierre Vermont, so be assured only the best of France’s most famous export will be available for your enjoyment. And if thats not  indulgent enough for you, check out their unique items up for bid at their silent auction. Some of the participating restaurants will be: Wish Miami Beach, Urban Belly Chicago, Redd Napa Valley CA, Marea NYC, DeVito’s South Beach, Hungry Mother Boston, Aldea NYC, just to name a few.
