Tuesday, June 3: Lunch at Bombay Darbar 

There’s a particular kind of hush that falls over Bombay Darbar at midday—a gentle escape from the clamor of Doral, where spice-laced air and warm service welcome you. From 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the Traditional Thali Lunch Special offers not just sustenance, but something closer to ritual: a perfectly paced tasting of India’s rich culinary canon.

It begins with dal soup, fragrant with garlic and tomatoes, followed by a crisp samosa—a golden parcel of seasoned vegetables. Then comes a procession: aromatic basmati rice, soft naan with sweet mango chutney, and a delicate kheer, ending on a whisper of rosewater and cardamom. Choose your centerpiece: the creamy saffron-laced mushroom makhani, or the enticing mango chicken. From the smoky allure of tandoori chicken to the bold intensity of lamb vindaloo, each dish arrives nuanced, balanced, and beautifully plated.  A lunch break, yes—but one with the soul of a faraway voyage.

Wednesday, June 4: National Cheese Day at Primo’s

A quiet kind of indulgence awaits on Wednesday, June 4, as Primo’s Italian Restaurant, nestled discreetly within the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay, invites guests to honor National Cheese Day with dishes that lean into decadence, yet never overstate it.

Begin with the chicken parmigiana, where crispy, spicy panko-crusted chicken meets the depth of house-made marinara and the soft, melty goodness of mozzarella, anchored by a tangle of pasta. Primo’s pizza offers a more rustic poetry—Tuscan sausage, caramelized onion, and fresh ricotta converge in a slow crescendo of flavor. For those drawn to the understated, the fettuccine Alfredo is a study in restraint and richness: ribbons of pasta folded into a velvety, cheese-laced cream. Such cheesy goodness always requires a bold glass of red on the side, and Primo’s cellar doesn’t disappoint. 

Thursday, June 5: Lunch at the Lobster Shack

Lunch plans this Thursday? Two words: Lobster. Shack. Because nothing says “Miami reset” like slipping into a seat at the ocean-side Lobster Shack and letting the seafood do the talking. Oysters? Obviously. Start with a half-dozen on the half shell or go full drama with Oysters Rockefeller. Then it’s decision time: play it cool with the Classic Lobster Roll (chilled, lightly dressed, pure elegance) or lean into the heat with the Spicy Lobster Roll—jalapeño slaw, fresh jalapeño, and enough bite to wake you up.

Feeling bougie? Order the Poseidon Roll—lobster, king crab, blackened shrimp, and Cajun sauce stacked into one decadent, slightly ridiculous masterpiece. Throw in a lobster bisque or crab dip if you’re really going for it. You know we are.

Friday, June 6: Julia and Henry’s Turns Two with New Retail Experience 

This week, Downtown Miami’s Julia and Henry’s is leveling up big time. Celebrating two years, they’re dropping Magic City Collective—a fresh, curated marketplace upstairs packed with local vintage, handmade gems, vinyl, and art, all brought to life with Magic City Flea’s signature vibe.

Catch us there this Friday from 5–7 p.m. for Now Serving: Style and Taste, their launch party featuring $5 cocktails, live DJ, raffles, and photo ops. Meanwhile, the first two floors keep dishing out all the yum—think 17 food vendors, three bars, and local faves like Shimuja and Sankuay holding it down. Whether you want a bite, a sip, or some serious shopping inspo, Julia and Henry’s is the spot to hit this week.

Julia and Henry’s is located at 200 E Flagler St, Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit their official website.
