Tuesday, October 21: Seafood Feast at CJ’s Crab Shack
Kick off your week with some Old Bay swagger and ocean breeze at CJ’s Crab Shack—a true South Beach staple where the vibes are unfussy, the seafood is fresh, and the drinks come cold. Come hungry for snow crab legs dripping in butter, baked oysters bubbling with cheese, and crab cakes so rich they’ve earned local legend status.
If you’re feeling indulgent, the CJ’s Cajun Combo piles it all high—crab clusters, shrimp, baked oysters, and a crab cake for good measure. Wash it down with something frosty while people-watching on Ocean Drive, and suddenly the start of the week doesn’t seem so bad. From drunken shrimp steamed in beer to crispy fried calamari with hot marinara sauce, every plate feels like a little vacay. Grab some napkins and dig in.
Wednesday, October 22: New Fall Menu at ORO
Summer’s still teasing Miami, but ORO is already strutting into fall with a menu that’s bold, beautiful, and a little unexpected. Case in point: the bluefin tiradito. Chef Victor Muñoz layers silky bluefin tuna with cherry bomb salsa, unagi tare, leeks, and a whisper of fig leaf oil. Making your reservations yet?
The rest of the menu reads like a love letter to fall: filet mignon with caramelized leeks and cherry bomb relish, foie parfait with spiced pecan granola, and Okinawa gnocchi draped in brown butter and sage. Pair the affair with a cocktail from the new line-up—like the Sublime, the restaurant’s elevated take on a pina colada—and you’ve got a dining experience that’s as visually stunning as it is utterly delicious.
ORO is located at 818 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, visit their official website.
Thursday, October 23: Happy Hour at Paperfish Sushi
Slide into Paperfish Sushi this Thursday for a happy hour that feels like Tokyo got lost in South Beach and decided to stay. From 4 to 7 p.m., the Kampai Hour turns the sleek pink-lit den into a swirl of chilled sake, lychee martinis, and irresistible bites that keep the vibe effortlessly luxurious.
At $7.95 a pop, you can snack your way through crispy rice tuna, hamachi jalapeno rolls, salmon tiradito with passion fruit, and rocoto ceviche—each one a little umami bomb. The drinks are equally flirty: Aperol spritzes, Dragon Mules, and Espresso Martinis that keep conversations between besties sparkling long after sunset. Paperfish makes Thursday feel like the weekend came early—sultry, social, and just the right amount of indulgent.
Saturday, October 25: World Pasta Day at Carpaccio Miami
Grab a fork and twirl your way into Carpaccio Miami this Friday for World Pasta Day—a carb lover’s paradise wrapped in Italian charm. The pasta menu is extensive, so if it’s your first time, stick with the old faithful foodie faves: linguine nettuno laden with a medley of fresh seafood, luscious fettuccine alfredo, or spaghetti al granchio tossed with plenty of Maryland lump crabmeat and aromatic garlic. Go for whole wheat or gluten-free if you must, but trust—every bite feels like amore.
Pair it with an antipasto like creamy burrata with prosciutto, grilled calamari kissed with peppers and spice, or a refreshing mista salad. Between the head-spinning aromas, silky sauces, and a glass of vino in hand, Carpaccio turns World Pasta Day into a full-bodied celebration of all things divine.
