It’s safe to say that when we closed the calendar on 2020, not many were sad.

Still, some good news came out of the last month of the year. Marcus Samuelsson’s Red Rooster Overtown finally opened after months of COVID-related delays. In addition, 2 Korean Girls opened its virtual restaurant with affordable and tasty Korean fare with an attitude.

And, after eight years calling Wynwood its home, Bunnie Cakes moved to Doral.
