The third weekend of April brings us tons to do in Miami, and much of it is outside to bask in this glorious weather. On deck, we've got the star-studded Miami Beach Polo World Cup, a dino-filled exhibit at Fairchild and a family-friendly plant masquerade at Vizcaya. Speaking of greenery, 4/20 falls on a Saturday this year and the annual III Joints festival is primed to be a st0n3r rave for the books. A citywide poetry festival, a major Record Store Day party, a free gospel showcase at the Arsht Center and a slew of adorable farmers and flea markets round out the festivities. Ready to have some fun in the 305?

Luckiky, being in Miami means you have a multitude of worthy travel destinations at your fingertips. A quick drive or flight will get you to the heart of a totally different Florida landscape, sipping a piña colada on a beach in the Caribbean or strolling the cobblestone streets of historic cities.

Living in Miami means regularly fielding texts from old friends asking the same thing: They’re staying on South Beach and do we know what’s good? Though we have a list of go-tos at the ready for most major Miami neighborhoods, South Beach needs follow-ups. Like, what’s the budget? Are they packing an LBD or do they prefer to stumble into a place in their beach coverup? Basically, are you like many out-of-towners looking for the clubbiest of clubstaurants, or is your goal to experience an amazing meal? Below, we’ve included both of those things (and they’re not always mutually exclusive) in our guide to the best restaurants in South Beach. Save this page and send it to your friend visiting Miami next time they ask for instant clout. RECOMMENDED: The best bars in South Beach, ranked

Stroll Calle Ocho in Miami’s Little Havana to behold longtime locals literally creating the sights, sounds and flavors Miami is famous for. Colorful murals serve as the backdrop to the area’s rhythmic music scene, savory cuisine and yes, lively domino games. It's an experience that will seduce you into leaving with a guayabera and a box of expertly rolled cigars.Beyond being an epicenter of Miami’s Cuban-American community since the 1960s, Little Havana is also a solid destination to experience authentic Cuban culture and some of the best Cuban food in Miami without leaving the United States. Sip cafecito all day long and learn to salsa dance the night away at one of Miami’s top Latin Nightclubs. Loving Little Havana is easy, especially when you’re exploring these top things to do and see.  RECOMMENDED: Full Guide to Little Havana

Just when you thought you had it pegged, South Beach can still totally surprise you—like when it decided to break up with spring break in 2024. Though the neighborhood’s renowned beaches and elite party scene are among its biggest draws, South Beach is also home to world-class shopping, historic Art Deco architecture and funky hidden gems, including several speakeasy bars and some of the best restaurants in Miami. Whether you’re seeking culture in the form of contemporary art or a very good Cuban croqueta, or just hoping to discover something new, our guide to the best things to do in South Beach has you covered.

Most bars and restaurants in Miami offer some sort of discounted offering during happy hour— and if they don't, they should. Because the rent is too damn high, and we all deserve a break where we can get it. If you're here, you're seeking out the best bang for your buck, and we know exactly where to find it. At these top Miami happy hour spots, you’ll find flowing drinks, yes. But there’s also an array of tasty bar victuals to be sampled from some of the finest restaurants in town. Dollar oysters and panoramic views, half-priced martinis and caviar-topped snacks, frozen libations and live music—get it all, and at prices that’ll make that monthly Brickell rent just a little easier to part with.  RECOMMENDED: The best rooftop bars in Miami

Studies have shown that Miami knows how to brunch better than any other city. We should note that said studies were not conducted by proper research centers but rather by a team of hungover journalists in dire need of good eggs and a bloody mary. Over several years of indulging in breakfast-lunch hybrids in the early weekend hour of around 2pm (basically dawn in Miami), we have confidently determined the finest places to brunch in a city that makes brunch an unofficial sport (along with day drinking and al fresco dining). We're laying it all out below in our guide to the very best places to brunch in Miami, the unscientifically official Brunch Capital of the Planet.

Surprise! Florida is known as the Sunshine State, but more than a third of the time, you can count on a rainy day here in subtropical Miami. Wet weather is typical in the summer, but if your plans call for sunshine, there's a good chance you'll get rained out no matter what season you're in.  Don't let a little water ruin your good time. Whether you’re dealing with a fleeting sprinkle or a full-on tropical storm, there are plenty of fun indoor activities in Miami when it rains. Shopping in Miami is an excellent option, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to get off the sand and explore the city’s world-class museums. Figuring out what to do in Miami when it rains? Below, we came up with fun beach day alternatives, kid-friendly activities and plenty of boozy options so your day doesn’t have to be a total washout.

June marks the official kickoff of the slow season in Miami, but honestly, the action doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Miami Beach Pride breezes through in April, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it all over again on the mainland as part of National Pride Month. Beyond the LGTBQ+ fun to look forward to this June, there are plenty of concerts, exhibitions, festivals and outdoor activities to get excited about—not to mention that visits to a Miami museum make for an excellent thing to do in Miami when it rains (it tends to do that quite a bit in June). It’s also the start of hurricane season in Miami, so brace for that too. Find a list of the best June events in Miami below. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

April 2024: Spring is upon us and we've got tons of April events in Miami to ensure you get out and make the most of this glorious time of year. Of course, there's so much to explore in the Magic City no matter the season (though we're partial to a great rooftop bar where you can really soak it all in). Below, check out all of our picks for the best things to do in Miami right now.  Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond lounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305. Aside from dabbling in our famous nightlife and exploring Miami's best bars, no trip to the Magic City would be complete without scoping out the booming culinary scene and our award-winning Miami restaurants. In between sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails, check off these essential Miami experiences, a mix of year-round attractions, seasonal events, cultural staples and exciting one-offs vetted by our expert editors. By the way, this list is curated, as always, but isn’t ranked—we just couldn’t choose favorites.

April 2024: Miami's spring is oh-so-brief and soon we'll be staring down another long, muggy summer. For now, though, the days are sunny, the nights are breezy and the spring break crowds have vanished. So before it's too late, dine outside, on the water or in the sky at a Miami rooftop restaurant. And if you're short on time, be sure to check out our locals-approved guide to the best Miami restaurants where you don't need a reservation. Our top places to eat in the city are a true mix of flavors and feels, from white tablecloth fine dining—like some of Miami’s best steakhouses— to tried-and-tested cheap eats in Miami that never, ever disappoint. And where there’s a solid cocktail there’s likely to be an epic dish that follows, so expect to run into some of Miami’s best bars on this list. Just as we've always done, Time Out’s local experts scour the city daily for great eats, great value and insider info. We emphasize fun, flavor and freshness at every price point, and update this list monthly with standout finds.

Stiltsville Fish Bar links up with Vinya for a one-night wine dinner in Sunset Harbour. From 4 to 7pm, chef couple Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth and Vinya's resident wine expert Allegra Angelo will take guests on a coastal-inspired journey. Instead of its usual raw bar delights, Stiltsville’s clawfooted bathtub will be filled with bottles of red, rosé, white and more selections curated by Angelo. Meanwhile, McInnis and Booth will dole out complementary snacks like hog snapper ceviche, tuna tartare on shrimp puffs and surf n’ turf carpaccio. The casual, cocktail-style tasting ($40) includes five wines and seven bites per person.

James Beard Award-winning chef Nina Compton and her acclaimed restaurant Compère Lapin transplant from the Big Easy to the Magic City for a month-long residency on the rooftop of the Four Seasons Hotel Miami in Brickell. Expect a selection of Compton's signature dishes, like fried chicken with coconut grits and pickles and blackened lobster served with maque choux, served in a lively indoor-outdoor dining room overlooking the city.

Visit the famed waterfront estate dressed in your finest plant and flower-themed garb, whether it's a DIY costume, an intricate makeup look or both. This family-friendly Earth Day celebration invites the community to wander through Vizcaya's sun-dappled gardens and explore the opulent rooms of the Main House to become a part of the estate’s living landscape. A Friends and Family level membership to the museum is up for grabs if you come dressed to impress and participate in the day's social media photo contest.

For a long time, Miami had politely excused itself from partaking in annual World Pride Month celebrations. By June, the Miami sun is already hot enough to melt off even the most seasoned drag queen’s full face—and who wants to plan a parade in the midst of hurricane season Besides, New York pretty much has the East Coast covered when it comes to Pride festivities, and April’s Miami Beach Pride is a fun way to kick everything off. At least, this had been the thinking from 1995 until around five years ago, when Wynwood Pride was born. The annual Pride celebration on the mainland stands defiantly in the face of heat waves, tropical storms and gay flight to Fire Island, boldly asserting: We’re here, we’re queer and Miami’s LGBTQ+ community deserves the world—including a proper World Pride celebration alongside everyone else. The concept was to create a more music and performance-driven atmosphere in the heart of Miami’s booming arts district that appealed to different ages and underserved groups. “The core belief was to be a Pride for everyone,” says Liza Santana, Wynwood Pride’s founding spokesperson. When is Wynwood Pride 2024? Rather than a weekend-long festival as in previous years, Wynwood Pride 2024 spans World Pride Month with panels, parties and performances going down primarily over the weekends this June. So far, events include a kick-off party at the Arlo Wynwood (June 1) and a drag festival (June 8). Watch this space as more information is released.

To celebrate Record Store Day 2024, Miami's beloved indie music shop Technique Records hosts a free, all-day rager celebrating all things vinyl in Miami's Upper Eastside. Stop in any time from 8am to 9pm to take advantage of cratefuls of new and used record drops, Record Store Day exclusives, giveaways, free drinks and food for sale. DJs (including John Stanier of Battles and trailblazing producer Arthur Baker) will be spinning throughout the party.

This annual festival in the heart of Miami Beach features five days of screenings, celebrity interviews, workshops, panel discussions and networking events celebrating Black television and filmmaking. As in years past, the 28th ABFF will host a packed schedule of Hollywood premieres, an indie showcase, a comedy night, an awards show and an epic closing gala on Saturday. Events take place primarily across Miami Beach Convention Center and New Worl Center.

This oceanfront public green space boasts towering baobab and palm trees, manicured walking paths and the neon rainbow-hued installation Miami Mountain by artist Ugo Rondinone, part of The Bass museum's permanent collection. 

Major NYC comedy club The Stand is hosting a series of pop-up events around Miami, and it's kicking off with a show by Dominican legend, Carlos Sanchez. Like a George Carlin of the Caribbean, the trailblazing comic known for his relatable, family-friendly bits helped establish standup scenes in Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and beyond. For Miami, expect a Spanish-English crossover set in the heart of Little Havana at the Manuel Airtime Theater.

Last season, Paraiso Swim Week bumped up its dates for the first time in almost two decades in a decisive move to separate itself from Miami Swim Week. The shift was a massive success, with highlights including an epic closing show from New York Fashion Week’s staple The Blonds (Teletubbies walked the runway alongside models wearing bold, bejeweled looks). Rub shoulders with industry professionals, fashion editors, buyers and social media influencers inside the luxurious tent at Collins Park, right on the sand. You can also expect pop-up events around town at hotspots like Soho Beach House, Queen Miami Beach, The Miami Design District and more.

This French-style bistro with outposts across the country is ideal for big parties looking to celebrate special occasions at festive round tables while the DJ drops a full-on club set. Pair your bottles of champagne with refined, Riviera-inspired fare like wood-fired octopus and lobster fettuccine by chefs Rocco Seminara and Jimmy de Almeida.

Properly welcoming the Queen of Pop on night one of her three dates at the Kaseya Center, Wynwood Pride presents Madonna The Celebration Tour Miami After Party. After wrapping up on stage with Madge herself, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen will play a headlining DJ set alongside P_A_T (NYC) and Miami staples Miguel Clark and Naim Zarzour. The raucous festivities will also include appearances from FKA Twink and Kat Wilderness as the Girls Gone Wild, with QueerParties and Mokibaby on hosting duty. It all goes down at The Ground, located on the first level of Club Space, within walking distance of the concert venue.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will enshroud a large swath of the United States in shadow across the path of totality. Extending from Texas in the south to Maine in the northeast, this solar eclipse is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated celestial events of the year. Though Miami isn't along the best viewing path this time around, the Magic City will see a partial eclipse starting at 1:47pm and peaking at 3:01pm, when 45% of the sun's disk will be obscured. During Solar Eclipse Weekend, Frost Science guests can learn more about the science and history of eclipses through educational activities and a special Frost Planetarium show. To prepare for eclipse viewing, guests can purchase a pair of solar eclipse glasses at the Science Store.

Wynwood is finally getting a gay bar. Not a bar that occasionally throws gay parties on weeknights. Not a restaurant that hosts bachelorette-packed drag brunches. (Though those are all great, too). Willy's is the full-fledged, no-frills LGBTQ+ bar that's long been missing in the bustling mainland neighborhood known for its colorful street art and nightlife. Though Miami has an estimated 190,000 LGBTQ+ residents, the metro area has only a handful of gay clubs and bars, and most of them are across the bridge in Miami Beach.  "We want this bar to feel like it's been in the neighborhood for decades, and that the current Wynwood, with all its growth and gentrification, has been built around it," says Willy's cofounder, José Atencio.  Photograph: Courtesy Willy's Neighborhood Bar Atencio, Jor-El Garcia and Scott Bernardez are helping to recenter Miami's gay community, placing a stronger emphasis on locals. Six years ago this June, in tandem with World Pride Month, they launched Wynwood Pride. In that span, the grassroots fest has grown from a weekend-long party to a full month of Pride events across the city. (Previously, Miami's only Pride festivities played out during Miami Beach Pride, an annual celebration happening now, in the relatively cooler month of April.) This weekend's grand opening of Willy's Neighborhood Bar reinforces their original mission to carve out more space for those who call Miami home. "This has been a dream of ours since we started producing LGBTQ+ events

Ahead of the Michelin Ceremony on April 18 in Tampa, the coveted global restaurant guide has just announced winners of its 2024 Bib Gourmand award winners for Florida. These are restaurants that offer a meal of "good quality at a good value," according to the guide's team of anonymous inspectors. This year, inspectors noted one new restaurant in Miami, in addition to two restaurants in Orlando and one in Tampa. Recipients will be honored on stage alongside those earning Michelin stars at the invitation-only ceremony at the Tampa EDITION hotel. Photograph: Courtesy Tâm Tâm In Miami, the latest Bib Gourmand award winner is Tam Tam. This friendly former pop-up shines on all fronts, but especially with its nostalgic, Saigon-inspired Vietnamese fare. That's why it's currently ranked No. 6 in our Time Out guide to the best restaurants in Miami.  “These restaurant selections prepare bold specialties with precision and intentionality, all at an excellent value,” says Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of the Michelin Guides. “Our inspectors delighted in the impressive flavors and are confident that foodies—both local and from afar—will too.” Here's what the anonymous inspector had to say about Tam Tam: Tam Tam (Vietnamese Cuisine) Husband-and-husband team Tam Pham and Harrison Ramhofer are throwing a party on their own terms. On the edge of downtown by the county courthouse, you won’t find a glamorous room, a DJ booth, or anybody in stilettos or designer sneakers. The

The University of Miami takes its responsibility to future generations very seriously. The most recent example: a new course tracing the genius of Taylor Swift. Earlier this month, enrollment opened for STC 290: The Mastermind of the Taylor Swift Brand, a strategic communications elective being offered this fall. The class, capped at 150 students, is open to all majors and fulfills the university's new Communication Literacy minor. Taught by associate professor Dr. Alyse Renee Lancaster, STC 290 examines Swift's meteoric rise, her massive cultural sway and the pivotal role social media has played in her billion-dollar brand. Students will unpack Swift's strategies for garnering her fiercely loyal, cross-generational global audience. The U isn't the only major university offering a course focused on the elite pop star. Berklee College of Music, Stanford and Rice Universities also have Taylor Swift-based classes this year, including classes covering the artist's song compositions and lyrical evolution. Last spring, the University of Missouri offered "Taylor Swiftory: History & Literature Through Taylor Swift." The University of Texas at Austin and New York University's Clive Davis Institute also taught courses covering her music in 2022. In Miami fashion, we're a bit more interested in learning about Swift's money and power. Will this city's influencer-obsessed youth have the attention spans to take notes?  

Talk Miami to me, papi. This seems to be the consensus among a large portion of the internet—at least according to a new study conducted by consumer opinion platform Brandwatch and commissioned by the online casino and sportsbook review website PennStakes.com. Using data collected between February 2023 and February 2024, the "social listening" research study aimed to discern which accents are the most attractive across the U.S., and the "Miami" accent ranked number seven on the list. Whether you love it or hate it, anyone who's lived here long enough tends to adopt some degree of the Miami dialect (it's actually called Miami English, according to a distinguished linguistics professor). Whether or not we speak any Spanish, most of us also sprinkle in some Miami slang here and there, too. The Miami accent is sing-songy, with a heavy "L" sound and a high dose of Spanglish. It's certainly distinct, but is it sexy?  According to the research, it's at least more attractive than the Chicago, Minnesotan and New Orleans accents, which ranked below us in that order. On the other hand, the Midwestern and Boston accents ranked just above Miami. I mean, really? The Southern accent, a quintessential American drawl, ranked at the top.  So how did the study come to its findings? Analyzing the top 50 most common accents, Brandwatch highlighted every mention of each accent online over the past year, breaking down how many of these posts were praising the accent in some way.

Congratulations are in order for three chefs from two of our favorite Miami restaurants for being selected as 2024 James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards finalists. Chef Valerie Chang of Maty's in Midtown is up for Best Chef: South, while Jesus Brazon and Manuel Brazon of Caracas Bakery in Doral and MiMo have been shortlisted in the Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker category. Only one other Florida restaurant, Kaya in Orlando, is up for an award this year. In January, the James Beard Foundation announced the semifinalists for this year's Restaurant and Chef Awards, which included three additional names in Miami hospitality (Zak the Baker for Outstanding Bakery, Macchialina for Outstanding Wine Program and Chef Tristen Epps of Ocean Social for Best Chef: South). Today's announcement narrows down the list to official nominees and also names honorees for the foundation's annual Achievement Awards in the categories of Leadership, Lifetime Achievement and Humanitarian of the Year. Read the full James Beard announcement on their website. Along with the Michelin Guide, the annual James Beard Awards set the standard for culinary excellence, highlighting the best of the best in America's hospitality industry. Though we won't know who the winners are until June's 2024 James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards at Lyric Opera of Chicago, being named as a nominee is a major achievement in its own right, especially for the historically underrepresented state of Florida. If you haven't already

Miami’s flagship hip-hop festival Rolling Loud has become one of the biggest rap and hip-hop festivals in the country—even the world. Since its inception in 2015, it's grown to include a stop in California and abroad in Portugal, Germany and Thailand. In that same span, Rolling Loud expanded to a full weekend-long festival, with just about every rapper you can think of gracing its stage: Future, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, J. Cole, Lil Yachty, Gucci Mane and so many more. Though it originated at Bayfront Park, Rolling Loud Miami has since made a new home at Hard Rock Stadium. And now, for its tenth anniversary, the festival has announced that it's moving from the hot summer months to December for the first time. Rolling Loud Miami will return to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens from December 13 through 15, 2024. The three-day blowout fest will be the crown jewel of Rolling Loud's year-long "10 Years of Rolling Loud," commemorating a decade of wins with epic celebrations in California, Austria and Thailand. As has become its legacy, the upcoming 2024 festival in Miami will bring together talent from across subgenres, from legendary headliners to less established artists on the come-up. Though the Miami festival lineup has not yet been announced, the recent Rolling Loud California at Hollywood Park featured headlining performances from Nicki Minaj, Post Malone, Future x Metro Boomin, ¥$, Don Toliver, Sexyy Red, Bryson Tiller, Summer Walker, and more, with guest a

Whether you've booked a last-minute trip to Miami, forgot you have friends coming into town or just need a few low-commitment options for going with the flow, this city has a surprisingly wide selection of solid spots to eat that don't require booking months in advance. We say "surprisingly" because, these days, scoring a table at the best restaurants in Miami has become a feat as insurmountable as turning left in Edgewater or dodging OnlyFans models in Brickell. As a public service to all the procrastinators out there (shout out everyone who lives here), we've compiled a list of tried-and-true restaurants where you don't need a reservation. And who would know better than Miami locals? We turned to our followers to get their go-to spots for an amazing, last-minute meal.

Hear us out: There's still room for innovation in Miami's oversaturated omakase space.  The chef's tasting-style sushi trend has exploded across the city in the last couple of years, making it difficult to parse which are actually worth the exorbitant price tags. To help, we keep a regularly updated guide to the best omakase in Miami. Still, after sampling a rainbow of tuna, uni, salmon and snapper that's torched, smoked and dry-aged, topped with caviar, truffles and foie—you get the idea. They tend to get repetitive. But have you ever chartered an omakase boat? Normally hidden in a small, dimly lit room off Española Way, the highly-rated Sushi Bar Miami Beach can now be enjoyed on the open water, with Biscayne Bay and the glittering city skyline as your backdrop. We got to try it, and this is hands down our favorite new way to experience omakase. Photograph: Meg Pukel A partnership between the Austin-born restaurant group and floating boho oasis La Caja, the unique charter is perfect for anyone planning a party or seeking out their next Miami dining flex. Oh, you finally got that 10pm reservation at Delilah? Cool. We see your birthday at Chateau ZZ's and raise you 17 courses and a sake pairing as dolphins swim by.

But when you factor in the tranquil, three-hour sunset cruise aboard the meticulously designed La Caja, complete with a friendly crew, music, five somm-curated drinks and one of

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will enshroud a large swath of the United States in shadow across the path of totality. Extending from Texas in the south to Maine in the northeast, this solar eclipse is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated celestial events of the year. Though Miami isn't along the best viewing path this time around, the Magic City will see a partial eclipse. Starting at 1:47pm, our partial solar eclipse will reach its peak at 3:01pm, when 45% of the sun's disk will be obscured. The eclipse will end at 4:13 p.m. To celebrate the occasion, Frost Science is inviting guests to partake in its partial solar eclipse viewing party, kicking off at noon on Monday, April 8. The waterfront museum will be hosting special programming in the planetarium and across its galleries tracing the science and history of eclipses. Gaze upon the partial solar eclipse from one of six museum levels—but make sure to protect your eyes with a pair of solar viewers while doing so. Bring your own or use the goggles provided for free with your ticket purchase. Build a lunar base camp, create a pinhole camera, circle up for storytime, enjoy an interactive eclipse show and more before the main event. For non-members, tickets start at $37.95 for anyone 12 and older and $26.95 for kids ages four to eleven and include full access to the museum and eclipse programming.  During the event, the museum’s rooftop access will be limited to active Frost Science members only and will be availab

Have you heard? Miami is home to one of the coolest streets in the world. Miracle Mile is No. 26 on Time Out’s annual rankings of the Coolest Streets in the World. As the main artery of Coral Gables' business district, this palm and oak tree-lined street boasts plenty of independent shops and some of Miami’s best restaurants (including several that recently earned nods from the Michelin Guide). Like the rest of its historic neighborhood (which we touted as among the world’s coolest in 2023), Miracle Mile and its surrounding promenades feature beautifully maintained Mediterranean Revival-style architecture with stucco facades and arched doorways. There are also lively events year-round, like the two-day Carnaval on the Mile festival every March. The Coral Gables outpost of one of our favorite restaurants in Miami—the Mediterranean-inspired Motek—resides under telltale yellow and white striped awnings along Miracle Mile. During Vinya Table's happy hour (daily 3-6pm), you can sip somm-curated glasses of wine starting at $8 and excellent cocktails like the Whitecap Negroni starting at $9. Peruse the market shelves in the back for a few to-go bottles, too. Beyond the food and drinks, Miracle Mile is famed for its shopping—it's a global destination for bridal boutiques—as well as its landmarks, like the grandiose, Beaux Arts-style Colonnade Building and the City Hall constructed from local limestone. Craving some culture? Catch a show at the historic Miracle Theatre. Built in 194

What’s the cure for a broken heart? Of course, the unconditional love of a dog. That, or a lavish shopping spree. In the case of Dave Portnoy, it was both. After ending things with his girlfriend over the holidays and, by extension, their dog Brody, the Barstool Sports founder famed for his one-bite pizza reviews knew he’d find puppy love again, it was just a matter of when. Then, on Valentine’s Day, Miss Peaches came home. “It was love at first sight,” Portnoy tells me from his Miami home. The six-year-old rescue pitbull from Georgia (her age is a best guess) is draped across “Papa’s” lap. Together, they overlook Portnoy’s infinity pool and, beyond that, the sparkling Biscayne Bay. Video: Falyn Wood for Time Out “She doesn't have a mean bone in her body, after everything she went through,” he says when asked what they love most about each other. “And I think she likes me because I'm rich, so she has all this stuff that she’s never had.” Portnoy’s delivery is characteristically brash, which can rub some the wrong way, especially when it comes to the pizza reviews. With Miss Peaches, though, his bravado melts away. In a few short weeks, Portnoy has dropped thousands on his new lady, showering her with everything from a designer doggy stroller to luxury bowls and locally sourced food. “She does this thing where she just kind of paws at me, and then she walks back and forth over my face, essentially, until I'm up,” he says, describing their typical morning. “It's a good way

If Little River wasn’t already on your radar, surely it will be now. Miami’s burgeoning culinary and cultural hub just minutes north of the Design District and Little Haiti welcomes its latest buzzy resident with the forthcoming reopening of Fooq’s. The Downtown Mediterranean nook from David Foulquier’s We All Gotta Eat Hospitality was beloved for its flavorful home-style cuisine like charcoal-grilled kebabs and Persian stews. It made for an excellent stop for an elevated but casual meal before walking over to a show at the nearby Adrienne Arsht Center. Fooq’s has been closed since 2021, when Foulquier’s Eleventh Street Pizza took over the space during the pandemic. Unlike its previous address, the new Fooq’s will live in a ground-up, 9,000-square-foot build located at 150 NW 73rd Street. The restaurant is set to open towards the end of 2024.
