Home » Noteworthy » Nevis Island: The Underrated Caribbean Destination A Short Flight From Miami When deciding on a Caribbean vacation, Floridians tend to hop over to well-known tourist destinations like The Bahamas, Jamaica or the Dominican Republic, which are bustling with all-inclusive resorts and tourist traps. But for those looking to escape to a place that’s rich in culture, native personalities and authentic island cuisine, Nevis is your island.
Saint Lucia Isn’t Just for Lovers
Sure, Saint Lucia may be touted as a honeymoon paradise, but that doesn’t mean MICE planners should write it off for incentivized trips and corporate retreats. Home to volcanic mud baths, bountiful reefs and waterfalls, meeting planners ought to be eager to host groups in Saint Lucia.
Experiencing Pura Vida in Costa Rica
Costa Rica may be known as the land of plenty for nature enthusiasts looking to embrace the “pure life” lifestyle of Central America, but the bustling capital of San Jose will soon become an epicenter for the MICE industry when Costa Rica Convention Center debuts in 2018. The venue will make San Jose the ideal destination for not only incentive programs, but also conferences and conventions.
Seafood chefs look at sustainability
Knowing whether or not seafood is sustainable probably won't affect its flavor, but it will determine what happens to the environment. And some Southwest Florida restaurateurs are paying greater attention to sustainability. At Red's Fresh Seafood House and Tavern, owner Bud LoCicero focuses on fresh, local seafood, but also fish that's caught or farm-raised sustainably.
An Unexpected Modern Luxury Escape in Clearwater Beach
Any resort aficionados can tell you that Miami Beach is the go-to hub for luxury oceanfront resorts. Yet, sometimes we need an escape from a bustling metropolitan, but still, crave a well-appointed accommodation that a big city offers. That’s where Opal Sands Resort fits in.
Should You Buy Whipped Cream or Make It Yourself?
Something we’re giving thanks for this time of year? Canned whipped cream. It’s cheaper and faster than homemade, and even our resident food snobs admit that it’s delish. What’s even better? That nozzle makes it super simple to create a professional-looking pie topping (or to just mainline the stuff right into your mouth). Prep: 0 minutes, Price: 58¢ per cup If you’re making dessert from scratch, odds are you’re willing to spend a few minutes whipping heavy cream into soft peaks.

Hard-Boiled Eggs: Should I Buy Them or Make Them At Home?
Cooking your eggs at home requires a little time, for sure, but it is literally as easy as boiling water. If you DIY, you’ll get tender whites and yolks exactly how you like them, anywhere between just set to firm. Eggs your way? How a-peeling! Prep: 25 minutes, Price: 30¢ per egg If you’re on the hook for a plate of deviled eggs and you don’t want to mess up your mani peeling them, it might be worth shelling out for pre-peeled eggs.
Battle of the Popcorn: Microwave vs. Whole Kernels vs. Pre-Popped
This old-school option is the cheapest, the least processed and the tastiest—so picking a winner was easy. Quinn Popcorn Kernels’ sweet flavor (and its eco-friendly cred) impressed testers. Sure, it’s satisfying to watch the bag puff in the microwave, but you pay way more for packaging and mystery ingredients. (TBHQ? No thank you!) BYO brown bag and kernels for a cleaner snack. If you’re all about convenience or love wacky flavors, grab a bag.
The Ultimate Getaway to The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua
Maui may be known for its breathtaking Road to Hana (Hawaii’s version of the Pacific Coast Highway), but for those looking to unwind at one of the most luxurious properties on the island, opt to venture west and experience The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Here you can enjoy the breathtaking sunsets, West Maui rainforest, and Hawaiian-healing spa treatments at this ultimate Hawaiian getaway.
Nevis: The Undiscovered Caribbean Island Only A Short Flight Away From Miami
When deciding on a Caribbean vacation, Floridians tend to hop over to well-known tourist destinations like The Bahamas, Jamaica or the Dominican Republic, which are bustling with all-inclusive resorts and tourist traps. But for those looking to escape to a place that’s rich in culture, native personalities and authentic island cuisine, Nevis is your island. The 36-square mile West Indies volcanic paradise is the sister isle to St. Kitts.
Battle of the Romaine Lettuces: Head vs. Heart vs. Clamshell
A head of romaine lasts about 10 days—around three days longer than hearts and six days longer than leaves sold in a clamshell—so you’re less likely to end up with limp lettuce. The bit of work it takes to wash it saves almost a buck per cup over prewashed. Prep: 5 mins; Price: 30¢ per chopped cup You still have to wash hearts but, unlike heads, they come stripped of their tougher outer leaves, putting you that much closer to a crisp salad.
This Summer's Hottest Happy Hour Deals and Specials in Fort Lauderdale

Although summer doesn’t officially kick off until June 21, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get a head start on celebrating with these Fort Lauderdale happy hour steals. Rest assured, these deals will appeal to every food and booze palate.
Battle of the Salsas: Store-Bought vs. Homemade
Photography by Peter ArditoStore-boughtNo crying over sliced onions here—with a tub of pico, you’re ready to fiesta whenever. Avoid salsa that looks soupy but, otherwise, the store-bought stuff is all you need, especially if you add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving. Prep: 0 minutes; Price: $1.20 per cupHomemadeIf you’re throwing a special get-together, sure, make your own. The extra effort will yield an exceptionally fresh-tasting bite, and you’ll save a few cents.
3 Unpredictable Group Dining Experiences - Connect Corporate

TeamBonding, a teambuilding company originally based in Boston, sets up shop for groups of up to 250 guests at venues throughout North America.
Mini Review: Acai Bowl at 3 Natives
Just as soup is a key factor to surviving a winter up north, acai bowls are of the like to a Floridian’s summer — a necessity. And while all bowls appear very similar — a smoothie-like blend of antioxidant-rich acai topped with an assortment of fresh fruits — 3 Natives, which opened June 6 west of I-95 on Yamato Road, was a different experience. One I thoroughly enjoyed.
National Pizza Day poll: thick crust or thin crust?
Tuesday is National Pizza Day, a day to celebrate a "pie" that isn't really a pie, a staple of "American" food that really isn't American. In any case, everybody likes pizza, but they don't all like the same kind of pizza. Simplicity is king for some, with just sauce and cheese, while others prefer specialty pizzas with so many toppings that it looks like a dump truck unloaded meat and veggies onto dough.
