Tuesday, October 8: New Crema Gourmet Opening

Crema Gourmet is celebrating the grand opening of its 16th location in Midtown Miami this Tuesday with complimentary bites and coffee from 1 to 3 p.m. Known for its all-day breakfast, killer coffee, and laid-back vibe; Crema is about to bring its signature charm to one of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods. This new spot is perfectly placed in the heart of Midtown’s buzzing scene, just minutes from Wynwood and the Design District. Join us for the opening ceremony to toast to European cafe culture in the 305 as we indulge in some of the best coffee and scrumptious bites to go with it.

Wednesday, October 9: Happy Hour at Kissaki

Kissaki is Miami’s best-kept happy hour secret, and it’s serving up a vibe that sushi lovers in the know can’t resist. This isn’t your typical post-work unwind—between 6 and 8 p.m., they’re offering craft saketinis for $10, smooth house sake, and $6 beers that perfectly complement the coastal freshness on your plate. There’s also $5 sashimi and nigiri, showcasing the kind of high-grade fish you’d expect from a place where omakase is the main event. The maki is a steal at $9, but it’s the small, niche dishes like spicy tuna crispy rice and perfectly fried chicken karaage that set Kissaki apart, hitting all the right umami notes and all priced under $12. It’s an intimate, low-key spot for those who appreciate top-tier Japanese cuisine without the pretense.

Saturday, October 12: National Pulled Pork Day at Bar Tulio

We all love pulled pork, but if you ask us, there’s one way to level it up: carnitas. So, where do you score prime carnitas in the 305? Lucky for us, the city delivers, but there’s one spot that’s got our hearts and stomachs on lock: Bar Tulio’s in Wynwood.

This fresh, vibey joint drips with cantina energy and knows its way around some serious pulled pork. The carnitas tacos here are stacked: tender pulled pork, refried beans, guac, queso fresco, pico de gallo, and cilantro – everything a taco should be, no more, no less. Pair a few of these flavor-packed beauties with some ice-cold Mexican cervezas, and you’ve got yourself a National Pulled Pork Day celebration done right.

Friday, October 11: Dinner at Ironside Pizza

For a true Napoli Dinner in Miami, Ironside Pizza in Upper East Side is the spot. A laid-back treasure trove of Italian eats, Ironside serves up elevated cuisine without losing the chill vibe. Fresh, local ingredients? They’ve got that on lock, with produce sourced from nearby farms and their own garden.

The menu is stacked with gems like antipasti boards, artichoke salad, and braised beef ragu maccheroni, but the real stars are the wood-fired pizzas and calzones. Crisp, puffy crusts set the stage, and you can customize your pie with gluten-free and vegan options. The margarita, though, is a must—creamy mozzarella fior di latte, San Marzano tomato sauce, garden-fresh basil, and a rich olive oil drizzle. See you out on their patio with a slice in hand!
