The Borscht Film Festival (est. 2005) is Miami's fresh local independent film fest. We are a yearly event held
at iconic Miami venues that commissions and showcases films created by emerging artists telling Miami
stories that go beyond the typical portrayal of the city as a beautiful but vapid party town, forging the
cinematic identity of the city. We are the home of the CCCV New Wave. "

Miami.com New Hot Site

"Miami.com, a new site from the Miami Herald, gives locals and visitors the best of Miami and South Florida, from dining and nightlife to shopping and attractions.

Like your personal concierge, or your friend who always knows just the right spot for every occasion, Miami.com not only tells you about the latest local spots and events, but also when to go, what to do and how much it'll cost.

This means we don't just tell you about Sawgrass Mills, we share tips on when you can beat the crowds, how to get the primo bargains (want to know when the Coach outlet gets new stock?) and where to find parking on a Saturday afternoon.

On Miami.com, you can find out where J.Lo and Ludacris go to eat and which Miracle Mile boutiques are worth a look. We'll also show you how to find a terrific empanada and how to navigate local airports, traffic and customs (like how to order a Cuban coffee.)" - Miami.com website

National parks drop fees, add freebies
By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY


yes thats me next to alligators at Shark Valley, Everglades Nat'l Park




Another sign of tough times in the travel industry: Typically jammed national parks are doing away with entrance fees on some summer Saturdays and Sundays, including this Father's Day weekend. Park concessions are tossing in freebies and discounts, too.
The National Park Service's "Fee-Free Weekends" start Saturday and Sunday and also are announced for July 18-19 and Aug. 15-16. For a list of national parks, visit nps.gov.

Affiliated deals include a second ticket at half off for Denali National Park's natural history tour in Alaska (information: denaliparkresorts.com); 50% off a Sunday stay at the Skyland Resort atop Skyline Drive in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park (visitshenandoah.com) if you stay Saturday night; a child's ticket free on a guided bus tour in Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park (visitmesaverde.com), with two adult paid admissions. Discounts can't be applied to reservations made previously.
