Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The weekend’s main event is this year’s Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix 2023. If you have tickets for the race, New Times has prepared a guide for the best eats at the Grand Prix.
If you’re not a race fan, there’s still plenty to do. This weekend’s food and drink events in Miami include Cinco de Mayo, Tito’s Yappy Hour at Evio’s, and Steak and Sushi Sundays.
