Fuku x Cry Baby Creamery: Fuku Around & Find Out

Fried chicken and ice cream? Fuku and local favorite Cry Baby Creamery make the unlikely pairing sound convincing with a new limited-edition flavor inspired by Fuku’s Sweet & Spicy Sando. Fuku Around & Find Out launches Monday, August 31, exclusively at Fuku Coral Gables, and it’s only sticking around while supplies last.

The buttermilk ice cream is layered with spicy gochujang caramel, Korean gochugaru and honey, then folded with a buttery cornflake crunch seasoned with black and white sesame. The result hits sweet, salty, spicy, and crunchy without losing the fried-chicken inspiration. At $8 per cup, this is one of those Miami food mashups you’ll want to try before it disappears.

Fuku is located at 135 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, FL 33134 (Coral Gables). For more information, visit their official website.

Jam Night in Wynwood

Monday nights don’t have to be boring, especially when there’s a house band involved. Savage Labs Wynwood hosts The Jam by Wizzmer with The Wizzards every Monday at 8 p.m., bringing musicians and music lovers together for an anything-can-happen night of live jams.

The intimate creative lounge feels more like someone’s eclectic living room than a typical bar, with warm lighting, mismatched décor, and a crowd that runs from local artists to curious first-timers. Grab a cocktail, beer, or glass of wine, order some ceviche taquitos or Savage signature sliders, and settle in for the show. Savage Labs is already known for live music, DJ sets, open mics, and experimental performances, but Mondays are all about the music getting made in real time.

Savage Labs Wynwood is located at 2451 NW 5th Ave., Miami, FL 33127 (Wynwood). For more information, visit their official website.

A New Yoga Routine at Miami Life Center

For some, September is all about getting back into a routine, and Miami Life Center is a good place to make yoga part of yours.

This Wednesday’s schedule includes Mysore, vinyasa, Ashtanga, yin yoga, sound bath, tai chi, and even a donation-based beach class, so check the studio’s schedule before you go and book your spot in advance.

Coffee, Croissants & Wine? Magie’s Coconut Grove Just Got Better

Coconut Grove mornings just got a little more interesting. Magie Wine Bar is teaming up with Imperial Moto to bring the moto-inspired coffee brand into its Coconut Grove space. From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the daytime setup will serve specialty coffee, espresso drinks, cold brews, matcha, and pastries including butter and chocolate croissants, cookies, and other sweet bites.

It’s a useful excuse to trade your usual coffee run for somewhere with considerably more personality. Come for the morning latte, stay for the wine later—Magie is officially doing both halves of the day.

Magie Wine Bar is located at 3540 Main Hwy., Miami, FL 33133 (Coconut Grove). For more information, visit their official website.

Tulum Comes to Brickell for One Last Summer Night

Rosa Sky is taking summer out with a little bit of drama. On Sunday, September 6, the rooftop goes full Tulum for Noches Blancas, a 22-story sendoff featuring tropical house from DJ Brooke Brazelton, handcrafted cocktails, and those golden-hour views.

The dress code is white or neutral resort chic, so consider this your excuse to dig out that outfit you’ve been waiting for. Come for sunset, stay for the beats, and pretend you’re somewhere on the Riviera Maya without actually leaving Brickell. Reservations are available through Tock.

Labor Day Weekend Perks at InterContinental Miami

September is looking good at InterContinental Miami. The downtown hotel is packing the month with enough programming to make a staycation feel like an actual escape. If you need an excuse to stay a little longer, the Extend a Night on Us package gives guests a complimentary third night when booking two nights, plus breakfast for two at Olé and access to mySpa’s sauna, steam room, fitness center, and relaxation room.

The non-refundable deposit is worth noting, but if you were already eyeing a long weekend downtown, this is the kind of perk that changes the math. Package details are available on the hotel’s official offer page.

InterContinental Miami is located at 100 Chopin Plaza, Miami, FL 33131 (Downtown), 305-577-1000. For more information, visit the offer page.
