Wynwood may be the capital of art in Miami, but it’s also a leader in the city’s growing beer scene. To that effect, Wynwood’s breweries and brewpubs are hosting artistic events throughout Miami Art Week. These happenings include limited-edition collaborations with artists, bottle releases, and tap takeovers. This week, drink in the art at these places.
Wynwood is getting a piece of beach paradise with the opening of Miami Mojito Company. This secret beach tiki bar pops up today, December 1, for Art Basel, but Cesar Morales — the owner of Wood Tavern and Bar Next Door and the brains behind Miami Mojito Company — has plans to extend it as a permanent stand.
With Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami Beach just beginning, Miamians have a week of parties, gallery openings, shows, and happenings to attend. Between celebrity spotting and art chatting, you’ll need to unwind and refresh. There’s no better way than stopping for a cocktail.
Art Basel is about to kick off and stretch across all areas of Miami, but a large concentration of activity will happen in Wynwood. Cue the traffic jams and pushy crowds, but also cue the local restaurants and bars that are bringing interactive experiences to Wynwood as a refuge for weary gallery-goers.
Thanksgiving is the time when family and friends gather around the table to share both warm feelings and good food. Well, that’s the Hallmark Channel myth that most of us grow up with.

This year, we have a suggestion about how to handle Thanksgiving. First — institute a no-politics policy at the table. Then allow Miami’s best chefs and industry professionals to give you their pro tips and hacks to turn your Thanksgiving into the best one yet.
Thanksgiving is next week, and you’ve prepared the perfect menu that combines traditional turkey with modern twists. That’s great, but how is your cocktail game?
Sure, there are many spirits out there, but rarely do you find one with the staying power and brand recognition of Jack Daniel’s.

This week has been a long one for Miami and the nation. We’ve elected President Trump, had our morning-after political hangover, and spent a lot of time at the water cooler asking, “What the f—-?” It’s time to forget all of this political chow-chow for a few days and enjoy. This weekend offers a ton of events — from snagging a free beer to howling at the moon to stuffing your face with hot dogs or heritage pork.
