This Week in Miami: October 5-11
Each week, we round up what’s worth your time right now—from new menus and pop-up moments to festivals, openings, and low-key excuses to go out on a weeknight. Consider this your curated snapshot of the city as it moves through the week ahead: where to eat, what to drink, and what’s quietly happening around town.
Tuesday, October 6
Make Tuesday Better With $6 Spritzes at Ironside Pizza
Head to Ironside Pizza in the Upper Eastside for $6 Spritz Tuesdays, when all of the pizzeria’s spritz cocktails are half off. Choose from the Italian-inspired lineup, including the classic Aperol Spritz, Hugo, Mimosa, or Limoncello Spritz, then settle in for some wood-fired pizza and a casual Italian feast.
Ironside keeps things relaxed and family-friendly, with a menu that goes well beyond pizza, but we’re not going to judge if you make a beeline for the pies. A $6 spritz and a Neapolitan-style pizza on a Tuesday? We’ll take it.
Celebrate National Taco Day With Tacos and Tequila at Cantina La Veinte
National Taco Day is a built-in excuse to eat tacos, so we’re taking it to Cantina La Veinte in Brickell for a Mexican feast with Biscayne Bay views. The longtime spot has plenty of tacos to choose from, including the dobladitas de jaiba suave with crispy soft-shell crab and jalapeño sauce, gobernador with shrimp, Mexican cheese, and citrus-tomatillo salsa, and the checa with thinly sliced ribeye and sesame sauce.
Feeling fancy? Go for the Rosarito-style langosta with lobster and chipotle sauce. Pair your tacos with a margarita or something from the extensive tequila selection, then settle in for live mariachi by the water.
Cantina La Veinte is located at 495 Brickell Ave., Miami, FL 33131 (Brickell). For more information, visit their official website.
Meet Miami Artist Diana Contreras at Kimpton EPIC
Make your Tuesday a little more artful with a trip to the 16th floor of Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Downtown, where the hotel is welcoming Miami-based painter and muralist Diana “Didi” Contreras for an evening celebrating her latest EPIC Art exhibition. Born in Chiclayo, Peru, Contreras explores femininity, cultural identity, and the Latin American diaspora through bold colors and expressive female figures.
You may have spotted her work around Miami, including murals in Little Havana and Wynwood, but this is your chance to see more of her work in one place and meet the artist herself. The reception runs from 6–7:30 p.m., and EPIC Art guests can also get 20 percent off their bill at Area 31 afterward. RSVP for the reception, then make a night of it.
Kimpton EPIC Hotel is located at 270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, FL 33131 (Downtown). For more information, visit their official website.
