With Miami-Dade indoor dining rooms closed once again, restaurants and bars continue to find ways to serve and engage with the community via contactless delivery, outdoor alternatives, virtual hangouts, and pick-up specials.

This weekend, take advantage of Greater Fort Lauderdale's annual Dine Out Lauderdale, send a loved one a free voucher for fried cheese at Pincho, and celebrate all things mango at Fairchild's monthlong socially distanced festival.

"I Want to Hug You" at Pincho

Known for its comfort food-style menu of burgers and kebabs, Pincho has cracked the code on how to send love to friends and family during social distancing — and it involves crispy fried cheese. The "I Want to Hug You" campaign, created by CEO and co-founder Otto Othman, allows customers to send a redeemable coupon for fried cheese on the house to up to three people. Customers can even send one to themselves. In addition, the Fun-Guy Burger menu special — served on a buttery toasted brioche bun with a large beef patty, provolone cheese, sautéed cremini mushrooms, smoked bacon, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of Pincho’s funky sauce ($10) — is available through the end of July. Various locations; pincho.com. To send an "I Want to Hug You" coupon, customers must fill out a form via iwanttohugyou.com.

Fairchild Garden's "Mango Days of Summer"

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is moving forward with its annual celebration of Florida's favorite fruit — with a virtual twist. Typically held over two days, this year's International Mango Festival has been transformed into "Mango Days of Summer," a monthlong event that combines virtual interaction and onsite activities. To mark the festival's 28th edition, the 83-acre property on Old Cutler Road will host local small businesses every Saturday in July. To facilitate social distancing, attendance will be divided into two separate three-hour time slots and visitors will follow a one-way path that takes them past pop-up shops and food stands such as Ceviche & Guacamole House, Keez Bees Raw Honey, and Stacey's Naturals, all of which will offer mango-inspired snacks. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and picnic baskets to make the most of their time al fresco. In addition, Fairchild Garden has partnered with Lincoln's Beard Brewing Co. to produce a limited edition mango sour named "Best Day Ever!" and with Sweet Melody Crafted Ice Cream Co. to make "It Takes Two to Mango," a limited-edition ice cream made with mangos and sour cream and a mango marmalade swirl. 10901 Old Cutler Rd., Coral Gables; fairchildgarden.org.
