Wednesday, March 6: Ladies Night at Sha Wynwood

Gather your besties and come join us for Ladies Night at Sha Wynwood. The neighborhood hub knows a thing or two about setting the right atmosphere for the occasion. This place always has all the vibes with dim lighting and live music or DJ sets. Stop by anytime from 6 p.m. till midnight and get greeted with some Ladies Night Specials. First, get yourself a craft cocktail —   Sha is known for their extensive collection of signature Mules and Sours. We’re big fans of the Amaretto Sour featuring Disaronno, lime juice, and simple syrup. It’s the perfect sip for a night out with the girls. After which, it’s time for some alluring apps like the torched tuna carpaccio with truffle oil, hamachi crudo with petite herbs, and a lush cecina salad served with thinly sliced beef and a zesty vinaigrette. Cheers to the girlies!

Thursday, March 7: Lunch at Paperfish Sushi

Join us for a lunch rendezvous at Paperfish Sushi! Nestled in the enchanting Espanola Way, our fave lunch spot is a culinary haven designed to whisk you away to the bustling streets of Tokyo. From noon to 4 p.m. every day, dive into irresistible lunch specials that’ll make your taste buds tingle with joy. Take your pick from the delectable bento box or bowl options. The Tsukiji Bento Box will have you feeling like you’re in the buzzing alleyways of the namesake fish market, indulging in spicy tuna rolls, wakame salads, and the freshest salmon sashimi.
