Pavo. Puerco. Pumpkin pie.
As residents of that fantastic land known as Miami, we are often accused of living in some foreign country where summer never ends. And yet, we give thanks for the bounty of the autumn harvest, just like the rest of y'all yanquis.
However, unlike most citizens of this great and glorious nation, 305ers don't cap off Thanksgiving festivities with sweat pants and a nap. We effing fiesta, all night long, till the break of dawn, on and on.
Now... Wipe that flour off your face. (Or is that cocaína?) Here are the party spots open and closed on this Thanksgiving Day in Miami.
