Miami's Best Eats and Drinks This Weekend: Salty Donut and Wynwood Brewing Anniversaries

This weekend, the Salty Donut will celebrate its first anniversary with the release of a birthday-themed croughnut, Cvi.che 105 will open at Aventura Mall, and Wynwood Brewing Company will host a fourth-anniversary block party.
Birthday Doughnut/Croissant at the Salty Donut. This weekend marks a year since the Salty Donut settled into a permanent location at the Wynwood Arcade. To celebrate, the shop has created a birthday-inspired doughnut/croissant hybrid. Pizarro calls it a "croughnut" (not to be confused with the trademarked Cronut). Each one is made with 24-hour brioche dough similar to that used in the Salty's other doughnuts and rolled in light sugar, filled with homemade strawberry and lemon sorbet, and topped with confetti buttercream and gold chocolate pearls ($6). Each doughnut comes in a white gift box with a copper-foil-embossed Salty Donut logo. The shop is also selling an exclusive birthday coffee blend with Intelligentsia ($18) and offering 15 percent off all merchandise. Available Friday, December 1, through Sunday, December 10, at the Salty Donut, 50 NW 23rd St., Miami; 305-925-8126; saltydonut.com. Friday 7:30 a.m. till the doughnuts are sold out, Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. until sold out.
