Picking up Hookahs in South Beach!
Americans are always willing to embrace odd bits of world culture, and on a recent weekend we were dazzled to discover that South Beach seems to have gone crazy over HOOKAHS!
Hookahs are water pipes (the original bongs) with a number of long, silk-wrapped hoses used to share the smoke of a burning “massel” - tobacco soaked in a sweet syrup of molasses and fruit flavor. The world may have made smoking in public places illegal, but hookah devotees flock to a number of Miami Beach nightspots to gather around these elaborate pipes to puff

Carmel Ophir Launches The Vagabond in Downtown Miami
Carmel Ophir threw a pre-opening launch party for a few thousand of his closest friends at his new club, The Vagabond, Thursday night in downtown Miami. The new club is owned by Carmel, DJ John Digweed and Rodney Mayo, and has two indoor rooms plus a gorgeous outdoor patio area that’s one of the best in all of Miami clubland.
The Vagabond makes a few changes from its incarnation as I/O Lounge. The main room stage is gone (for now) making the room somewhat more dance-able than it previously was. But, for my taste the outdoor area
Saint Patrick’s Day - Going Green On South Beach
Green is a VERY popular color on South Beach. The waving palms, the fists full of cash, the jealous glare as some balding Lothario driving a Bentley gets into the club right in front of you…That’s why we love Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17) because everyone gets to be green at the same time. Londoners know a thing or two about the newest pub on South Beach - Waxy O’Connor’s - a popular Leicester Square destination for a pint and a football match. Waxy’s brand new location puts the BOOM into our pub crawling lifestyle and promises to make March 2008 the Greenest month ever!

Music at Tap-Tap Haitian in Miami Beach
The constant drumbeat of Euro-glamour hype in Miami Beach can sometimes wear a little thin, and every now and then one needs a down-to-earth night on the town to keep things in perspective. The problem is, there really are very few down-to-earth places left in this high-dollar celebrity-driven town of South Beach. However, on this particular Thursday night, the back room of Tap-Tap Restaurant with a live Haitian band playing looks to be the perfect destination.
