Monday, October 21: National Mezcal Day at Bar Tulio’s

Bar Tulio’s crashed into the 305 dining scene this summer, and ever since, it’s been serving up some of the most fire Mexican food and flexing its tequila lineup. But we’re not sleeping on the mezcal game here, either. The bar definitely doesn’t disappoint with its selection of the smoky agave spirit. Whether you’re taking shots or sipping on one of their craft cocktails, you won’t be disappointed. Their Smoked Pineapple cocktail is a standout, blending Mezcal Joven, fresh lime, pineapple purée, agave nectar, and finished with a chili sea salt rim that takes the flavor to a whole new level. Mondays get even better with $3 off all craft cocktails, giving you the perfect reason to kick back and start the week with a mezcal-fueled fiesta.

Thursday, October 24: Omakase Dinner at Ogawa

Make sure to get your reservations in early for some of the best omakase this city has to offer. Ogawa transports diners straight to Japan, thanks to its close ties with Japanese farmers and fishermen and the ability to get the freshest produce flown in fresh daily. The Michelin-starred restaurant’s 24-seat dining room, adorned with authentic Japanese art and handcrafted pottery, creates an intimate, zen-like atmosphere that transports you far from Miami’s hustle. Whether sipping on a glass of Suntory Whiskey or diving into a rare sake from Sommelier Luis Martinez’s curated collection, every detail is designed to elevate your experience. After indulging in the omakase, take a moment to breathe in the serenity of the secret garden to cap off the perfect evening.

Their homemade spaghetti and meatballs are the definition of comfort food and a must-try. But if you’re craving seafood, the linguine seafood never disappoints, featuring a fresh, ever-changing selection of fish and shellfish. When you stop by on Friday, make sure to ask about the pasta of the day, which is always made fresh in-house with seasonal ingredients. This Pasta Day Primo’s has you covered, making it the ultimate spot to celebrate your pasta obsession.
