Amid the humid mornings and afternoon rainstorms, several restaurants popped up in Miami. Newcomers include Ice Dream Parlor, a plant-based shop, and a Miami Beach location of beloved pizzeria Andiamo.

July's closings all have bittersweet stories. Though the original South Beach Taquiza has closed, the North Beach location is still churning out Steve Santana's tacos, and fans of Ralph Pagano can still enjoy his Naked Taco after the closure of Naked Lunch.

And though Joe's Stone Crab has closed for the season, Joe's Take Away reopens today for the summer, allowing Miamians to get their Joe's fix until the flagship reopens in October.
