Wednesday, December 10: Neighborhood Nights at The Triangle

We’re hitting The Triangle at Little River this Wednesday, and trust us—you want in. Recently opened, this place is pure neighborhood magic: open-air, sunlit, with turf lawns, shaded seating, and soft lights that make it feel oh-so-nostalgic. Kids can run wild, explore the arcade, and sip on their own tot-tails while adults can grab a seat, order tacos, pizza, seafood, and a cocktail (or three) from a bar run by Miami’s craft-cocktail pros. 

The Triangle is made for locals—friends, families, young parents, creatives, and kids running around the yard. It’s a place where the community can come together, breathe, and just be. Affordable, welcoming, and full of warmth, it’s the kind of spot that feels like the old Miami… Who’s coming?

The Triangle is located at 200 NE 62nd St, Miami, FL 33138. For more information, visit their official website.

Friday, December 12: Dinner at Costa Med

Here’s the game plan for dinner to close off the week—and trust, we’re doing it right. An evening with a picturesque drive to Key Biscayne and dinner at one of the finest. You guessed it, Costa Med Bistro. Kicking things off with the grilled octopus: tender, smoky, Greek-style perfection that melts the moment it hits your fork. Then we’re sliding into the pata negra tostas—those impossibly thin slices of jabugo acorn-fed ibérico draped over pan cristal. Salty, buttery, addictive.

Mains? Split a couple (because why choose). First up, the pear and gorgonzola ravioli, accompanied by a rich, caramelized, creamy sauce made with dry fig and marsala wine. And then the star: the filet mignon center cut, grilled simply and perfectly, paired with truffle fries because we’re here to live well. For dessert… honestly, we’re letting them surprise us. Costa Med never misses. 

Saturday, December 13: Seaside Seafood Feast at the Lobster Shack

If you’re wandering around South Beach with sun in your hair and a hunger that only claws and butter can fix, The Lobster Shack is the move. This family-run spot sits just steps from the sand, slinging the kind of coastal comfort that makes you forget you ever promised to eat light. Start with a couple of East Coast oysters or the seared tuna—trust, the sesame-soy situation is it. But the real reason you’re here is the rolls. Every single one arrives unapologetically stuffed with full, gorgeous lobster claws. Go classic, go Naked (warm + butter), or go Cajun if you like a little spice with your seafood.

If you’re feeling bold—or reckless—the Shack Feast is pure maritime chaos in the best way: lobster, king crab, snow crab, shrimp, oysters, clams… basically the Atlantic on a platter. Grab a chilled glass of bubbles and settle in. This is the good life.

Sunday, December 14: Brunch at the Bayshore Club

Bayshore Club makes brunch feel like a mini escape from the city. Morning light spills across Biscayne Bay, soft jazz drifts through the open-air dining room, and the smell of fresh coffee mixes with the ocean breeze. 

Sip a Come Fly With Me—Aperol, prosecco, passion fruit—and watch sailboats lazily glide by. If you’re a sweet menu kind of bruncher, you don’t want to skip the Medianoche French toast, dressed with Nutella, caramelized bananas, and rum maple syrup. For a more classy brunch, a crispy bacon and fried egg breakfast sandwich, accompanied by a rum-sugar grapefruit. Warning: Bayshore Club may cause severe daydreaming and spontaneous “take me back” posts.
