Miami's Best Eats and Drinks This Weekend: Doughnuts, Drinks, and Duck

Happy National Doughnut Day! Let's hope you're celebrating right now by dunking one into your coffee while you're reading this. The workweek was a short one, and it's already time for another great Miami weekend. There's much to do.

GastroPod's Jeremiah Bullfrog's Duck, Duck, Goose challenges a dozen Miami chefs to get creative with duck and foie gras; the Freehand turns into Drink Miami Hostel; and National Eggs Benedict Day is this weekend. You can even find a new gig at the Aldi job fair. 

Weekend starts now!

Uber's Cafecito
Miami and Uber have been together for two years, and to celebrate, Uber is taking everyone out for coffee. Today, June 3, simply request Uber Cafecito on demand on your Uber app from 1 to 4 p.m., and you'll get an afternoon java jolt courtesy of Uber and La Carreta (offer good in Miami-Dade only). Tomorrow, June 4, from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., use Uber Pool and your ride costs only $2!
