Wednesday, December 27: Lunch at Ironside Pizza

As we unpack Christmas and get ready for yet another New Year’s feast, it’s nice to take a little break in between. Not a break from deliciousness, oh no. We’ll be grabbing a meal on the lighter side that’s equally as delicious as all the holiday feasts. This Wednesday, join us for a meal at Ironside Pizza. The Italian restaurant in no way compromises on flavor while dishing out healthy and abundant plates. In fact, they are committed to serving only quality produce that is local and sustainable whenever possible. 

So, what’s on the menu this Wednesday? We’re quite head over heels about the farinata that Ironside Pizza serves—an unleavened chickpea flatbread served with ricotta, prosciutto, and calamata olives. It’s as filling as it is scrumptious without the extra calories. The restaurant’s caprese is arguably the best in town — with juicy beefsteak tomatoes, artisan burrata, and fresh basil, a perfect balance to any meal. Then, moving on to the main attraction there’s both the salmone con verdure, a delectable seared salmon; or the pollo arrosto, succulent oven-roasted chicken breast with fingerling potatoes and mixed greens. You’ll be leaving the restaurant satisfied and full, with zero guilt.

Friday, December 29: Festive Food and Cocktails at the RUMBAR

Ring in the New Year with an exquisite feast at one of Wynwood’s hotspots—Sha Wynwood. As the evening rolls in, put on your swankiest New Year’s attire and step into the lively yet intimate patio at Sha. Here, on any given night, you’ll find live music boisterously playing through the crowds of gleeful epicureans, fire dancers enchanting those who dare watch, and performances that will keep you on your toes. Rest assured, for the New Year’s celebration, Sha is cranking it up even higher if that was even imaginable.

The spectacular evening will feature two seatings, one from 5:30 to 8 p.m., priced at $100 per person, with an exquisite 3-course menu, an outdoor table with bottle and cocktail service as well as full access to the premium bar, and a live DJ set. Guests who arrive for the second seating at 8 p.m. have an option of going with the $150 outdoor table or $200 indoor table, both of which include cocktail and bottle service with premium bar access, a 3-course meal, live DJ music all through the night, and a champagne toast at midnight. On the menu, expect the usual Sha Wynwood Asian-Mediterannean fusion delicacies, including fresh seafood and premium meats. Cheers!
