Where to Watch Mayweather vs. McGregor

Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor, the biggest fight you didn’t know you wanted until someone told you it could be a thing, is only days away. The once-retired Mayweather will take on the UFC’s biggest star, McGregor, in Las Vegas next Saturday, August 26, in a boxing match that is all but guaranteed to break the all-time record for pay-per-view buys. It’s definitely time to figure out where you’ll watch the bout.

The bad news is that pay-per-view will cost you $99.95. The good news is you don’t have to pay that crazy price to see the fight if you know where the nearest watch party is.

Ricky’s South Beach. New York-style pizza, South Beach, and TVs that measure 115 feet and 155 feet; that’s a pretty convincing argument for why this place is one of the choices on this list. As you can see in the picture above, Ricky’s is not your usual pizza parlor. Decorative interior and South Beach style vibes are abundant here. Guests who arrive to watch the fight will be treated to specials on Ricky’s new cocktails, such as the Walking Dead and Gin ‘n’ Juice. 8:30 p.m. Saturday, August 26, at Ricky’s South Beach, 1222 16th St., Miami Beach; 305-704-3602; rickysouthbeach.com. Admission is free.

It seems like every day there’s another trendy holiday that the world is unnecessarily celebrating. There’s a Blame Someone Else Day, Flag Day, Talk like a Pirate Day, and just last week there was a National Apple Turnover Day.

So, for those looking to celebrate another holiday, or just have a reason to extend your weekend fun, these are the top destinations for this year’s Tequila Day.

This one will take an army, so make sure you’re not celebrating tequila day alone. Gather up the troops and pick from any 3 unique gallon containers that are filled with a tequila infused drink.

New York City’s most popular pizza joint is coming to South Beach

Where can you find the best pizza, New York City or Miami?

Your answer to that question might change in the next two weeks, when Manhattan’s Artichoke Basille’s Pizza takes over the kitchen at Ricky’s South Beach. The East Village pizzeria, famous for its creamy artichoke slice (and proverbial lines, especially at 3am), is opening its 12th location inside the Miami Beach bar/restaurant on July 20th.

It’s not a pop-up; Ricky’s new menu will be helmed by Artichoke founders, Francis Garcia and Sal Basille. That means guests can order slices and whole pies, including the Sicilian—a twice-baked pizza topped with olive oil, plum tomatoes and fresh basil—and the classic Artichoke—cheesy, creamy and topped with artichoke hearts, spinach, cream sauce, mozzarella and pecorino romano cheese.

Wrap-around-the-block lines, the kinds New Yorkers are used to making for a late-night slice, are to be expected—but we promise they’re so, so worth it.
