Monday, January 20: National Cheese Lover’s Day at Ironside Pizza

Cheese lovers unite and join us at Ironside Pizza this foodie holiday—an Upper East Side restaurant that’s known for using only the purest ingredients to execute their Neapolitan dishes. As the day suggests, we’re coming here for the cheese and getting lots of it. 

First off—the tagliere salumi and formaggi plate served with fig mustarda and castelvetrano olives. Diners can choose five different cheese or cold cuts for their platter, but bet we’re going with all the cheeses, including pecorino Toscano, grana padano, gorgonzola, and mozzarella ovalini. Next—a must, the restaurant’s signature caprese made with artisan burrata. Finally, the 4 formaggi pizza, but of course, topped with mozzarella fior di latte, smoked mozzarella di bufala, gorgonzola, and grana Padano—this one will take you straight to cheese heaven. 

Wednesday, January 22: Dinner at La Natural

January is all about fresh starts and clean slates, and La Natural serves up dishes that are both decadent and guilt-free. Think wood-fired pizzas crafted with naturally leavened dough, cold-fermented for 48 hours to perfection, and crowned with the purest ingredients. 

For vegan delights, the tomato sauce and garlic confit pie is a must-try, while sides like grilled onions with aji dulce, tahini, and poppy seeds or roasted squash elevated by burnt scallions and ras al hanout will have you rethinking your relationship with veggies. La Natural brings forth an effortless celebration of flavor, purity, and craftsmanship—proof that eating consciously doesn’t mean compromising on taste. 

Friday, January 24: Drinks at the Newly-opened Room 55

The Pelican Hotel, a South Beach icon celebrating over 30 years of style and history, unveils its latest jewel: Room 55, a hidden rooftop speakeasy that redefines Ocean Drive allure. This clandestine retreat channels the glamour of the 1930s, blending vintage charm with a contemporary edge. 

Step inside, and you’re enveloped in an ambiance where moody lighting and curated decor set the tone for intimate, unforgettable evenings. Outside, the terrace offers sweeping ocean views, a perfect backdrop for escape and indulgence. The menu is as captivating as the setting. Expert mixologists craft signature cocktails like the Quince Sour and Great Gatsby Martini, while globally inspired bites—think fresh oysters and bone marrow tartare.

Room 55 is located inside the Pelican Hotel at 826 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL. For more information, visit their official website.

Saturday, January 25: National Fish Taco Day at the Bar Tulio’s

Join us at Bar Tulio’s this Saturday as we take the opportunity to indulge in some of the best fish tacos Miami has to offer in honor of National Fish Taco Day. Bar Tulio’s is a newcomer to the city’s Mexican food scene, but Chef Tulio Alas comes in strong with his twist on the Mexican classics. 

Our order tonight: the grouper taco—crispy grouper topped with purple cabbage, pickled onion, pico de gallo, and avocado crema. Perfection. While not necessarily fish, the shrimp taco comes in as a fine match to the grouper—lightly blackened with lettuce, chipotle mayo, and picante mango jalapeño salsa. Seal the deal with a Mexican michelada for a destined duo.
