Wednesday, May 28: National Hamburger Day at Loretta and the Butcher 

This Wednesday, catch us celebrating National Hamburger Day the only way that makes sense—at Loretta and the Butcher. Because when a place already serves up perfectly grilled Argentine steaks, you just know their burgers are going to hit different.

We’ve got our eyes on Loretta’s burger first—prime beef, provolone, bacon, caramelized onions, garlic aioli, all stacked on a brioche bun. But then again, the la fungi with wild mushrooms and truffle oil sounds like a dream. And don’t even get us started on the sausage burger with chimichurri. Oof. Each one comes with fries or a side salad, but let’s be real, we’re going full indulgence here. The vibe at Loretta is always on point—rustic, buzzing, a little slice of Buenos Aires in the Grove. Burgers this stacked deserve good wine, so yes, we’ll be asking for the perfect pairing. See you there.

Thursday, May 29: Happy Hour and Jazz at Old Lisbon

Thursday, we’re making our way to Old Lisbon South Miami for what might just be the smoothest Happy Hour in town. From 4 to 6 p.m., it’s BOGO drinks—Portuguese wines, cocktails, the works—and the setting is pure understated elegance. 

Then at 7, the live jazz sax kicks in, and the whole place shifts into something cinematic. Think soft lighting, ocean breeze, and a saxophone solo floating through the terrace while you sip on vinho tinto and nibble on codfish croquettes. It’s got that old-world charm without trying too hard—just classic Portuguese flavor, a little bit of soul, and a whole lot of vibe. If you’re craving something a little elevated but still low-key, this is it.

Friday, May 30: Vinilo Nights at Graziano’s 

The moment the needle drops at Graziano’s in Coral Gables, Friday night officially begins. Vinilo Nights brings the analog soul—real vinyl, no skips, no streaming—just deep grooves and warm crackles weaving through the scent of wood-fired steaks. It’s the kind of energy that makes you slow down, order another round, and stay a twee bit longer.

Hit happy hour from 5 to 8 p.m. for 2-for-1 cocktails, wine, sangria, and draft—ideal for pairing with an empanada or two before the music kicks in. By 7, the place hums with vintage sound and that signature Graziano’s swagger: rich Malbecs, sizzling parrilladas, and a crowd that knows a good thing when they hear it.

Sunday, June 1: New Summer Brunch Menu at Phuc Yea

The Miami brunch game has officially changed. Phuc Yea has recently rolled out a menu that reads more like a love letter to flavor than your average weekend lineup. There’s a biscuit banh mi sando stacked like a fever dream (and yes, served on a buttery biscuit), sancocho pho that feels like your abuela met your bà ngoại and blessed the broth, and smoked rib and eggs that arrive with zero subtlety and all the smoke. The soundtrack? Bottomless mimosas. $25, two hours, no small print, just sip and repeat.

And if you’re lucky enough to call 33137 or 33138 home, show your local ID and get a comped app or dessert at brunch or dinner after 7 p.m. No catch. Just neighborhood love. Come hungry. Leave converted.

Phuc Yea is located at 7100 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33138. For more information, visit their official website.
