Several new Miami eating and drinking establishments opened in August, heating up the midsummer month.
Openings include Lost & Found, a hidden speakeasy inside Sistrunk Marketplaces in Fort Lauderdale and Oche, a "gastro gaming" lounge and restaurant in South Beach.
In September, Miamians can look forward to the opening of Davie Grutman's restaurant trio — Sushi Fly Chicken, Winker's Diner, and Toothfairy — all housed inside the former Firestone Garage in Miami Beach.
