If you weren’t able to make it to The Bubble’s 2nd Birthday bash this past Saturday, you’re in luck because we’re about to get you caught up. Below is a short vid from the night, which went down with almost a dozen bands, plenty of art, things to buy, delicious tofu tacos by Munchie One, and of course Birthday cake. Please pardon our home movie skills, or lack thereof, as we were having much fun. Thank you to The Bubble, the artists and musicians, and all the locals for coming out and making it an awesome night.
A no-hassle gym that’s affordable and isn’t pretentious? Sounds too good to be true, but it isn’t. Youfit is a new chain of gyms offering $10 month-to-month membership with low sign-up fees as well as a $20 option for unlimited tanning, unlimited access to all locations, unlimited guest privileges, and half price drinks. Additionally, the gym utilizes energy-efficient appliances and lights, water bottle recycling, and has recycled tire floors. Check out a blurb from Sun-Sentinel here, and visit the Youfit website for locations, hours, and more info.
With a steady increase in pollution, toxins, and population, every day should indeed be Earth Day. Here are five hand-picked events to “officially” stand up for Mother Nature this weekend, from a gardening workshop to kids activities to cooling off indoors mesmerized by the beauty of nature on the big screen.
Check out Birch State Park’s Earth Day Everyday extravaganza of activities, food, and entertainment. Highlights include kids crafts, free veggie dogs, and a “Didgeridoo Orchestra”. The event runs from 9am-6pm on Saturday.
Despite reading a majority of negative Yelp reviews complaining of the new Taco Beach Shack in Hollywood, their website’s mouthwatering descriptions are enough to warrant a trip for any decent taco-enthusiast. Almost all of the complaints dealt with the joint’s slow service but we figure that’s not that bad and what better time to risk it than Taco Tuesday? Well, we soon learned that “Taco Tuesday” was in fact limited to only chicken or beef tacos, subjecting us to the not-so-shack-like prices on the rest of the menu. We mulled over the menu for a while at the bar and waited for a table to open up. There seemed to be no seating or serving arrangements and after finally sitting about 15 minutes, our waiter hurriedly greeted us “So sorry. I promise not to ignore you guys anymore. Pllllease make it quick.” A sign of the night to come, perhaps.
We placed our order: one chicken taco, one beef taco, and a baja fish taco combo platter. Almost 40 minutes went by until our server came and apologized for the wait, offering some chips and guac on the house (normally $4 for a basket and small 4 ounce cup of the green stuff). The guacamole tasted light and fresh and seemed like an appropriately nice gesture by a new restaurant. In all fairness, there was a somewhat large party that ordered before us (5 or 6 people) but it seemed very much like two servers and one cook were taking care of the whole place, which was actually almost completely full.
While we waited we observed the decor of Taco Beach Shack. Is it a taco shack? Is it striving to be a swanky outdoor restaurant on South Beach? Alas, it is both. A shack built upon a luxurious blanket of white sand, with neon signs and expensive-looking wicker furniture, ping pong tables and white drapes. Oh and of course a fire pit.
