Food and Drink

We made it through the week! Now it's time to kick back and relax.

• Check out these events happening around Miami:

Need weekend plans? We've got you covered.

Join the South Beach Sound Healing Orchestra at the Faena Hotel on Miami Beach on Friday, from 7-9pm. It'll include movement, breathwork, drum and dance, and a didgeridoo sound bath. Tickets: $45.

When you eat at Leku in Allapattah, the thick walls of trees and plants block out the surrounding industrial neighborhood, making you feel like you're in a secret Spanish garden.

• Everything else will make you feel like a true Spaniard, too. Jamon iberico is sliced by hand from a giant pig's leg. Order a Basque-inspired kalimotxo that tastes like a sangria crossed with a rum and coke.

I recently stopped by the fancy new Bayshore Club, which opened this summer on the Coconut Grove waterfront.

• The former Scotty's Landing space where I used to order a burger in flip flops now calls for chic outfits and making reservations in advance.

A new sports bar is opening at the Clevelander, the Ocean Drive hotel known for its beachside location, raucous pool parties and prominent role on sports broadcasts all over the world.

Driving the news: Jesta Hotels & Resorts, a Montreal-based investment firm that bought the Clevelander in 2018, invited restaurateur Matthew "Kush" Kuscher to take over its food program, which he did in July.

A three-course lunch at a Michelin-star restaurant for under $30? That can only mean that Miami Spice is officially back.

Why it matters: The two-month dining promotion offers a rare opportunity to try highly acclaimed food at reasonable prices. And it's the first one since the Michelin Guide came to town in June.

Miami's diverse food scene is highlighted in a new Netflix series exploring popular street food in cities across the country.

• Episode 6 of "Street Food: USA" takes your taste buds on a tour of Miami — from Cuban ventanitas to a Miami Gardens chef whose homemade souse stew saved his life.

Why it matters: The episode shows national viewers a different side of Miami — away from South Beach resorts and parties — and spotlights Haitian, Cuban and African American cultures that shape Miami.
