Happy New Year, Miami.
That’s it. That’s the last time you’ll hear us say it. We’re six days removed form the start of 2012 and calling faux pas on anyone blurting out well wishes this deep into the new year.
Consider this weekend roundup your final holiday gift — we’re back to normal next week. No more mention of it being 2012 or anything remotely associated with the holiday season.
Without any further adieu, we present the best things to do in Miami on the first official weekend of 2012.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Miami. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Miami.
