Here's a Miami trend we hope doesn't fade anytime soon. One-offs and collaborative projects among players in Miami's blooming hospitality and creative communities not only demonstrate that this city is maturing by leaps, but they also help warm our icy, jaded hearts. The latest example: Better With Friends, a new event series curated by O.G. Miami dance-party-turned-marketing-agency, POPLIFE. Created to foster connections in the community, Better With Friends brings together standout culinary, cocktail and music talent from across Miami's eclectic scenes. The series kicks off this Sunday at The New Schnitzel House with a collaborative menu by the James Beard finalists at Caracas Bakery (items on the a la carte menu are priced from $5 to $20). Technique Records, just down the road from The Schnitz, is on music duty at the inaugural event.
The final weekend of April brings us tons to do in Miami, and much of it is outside to bask in this glorious weather. On deck, we've got a watermelon festival at The Berry Farms, a dino-filled exhibit at Fairchild and a poetry open mic for kids at Miami Beach Botanical Garden. A new immersive exhibit tracing the illustrious life and career of Lionel Messi, two pop-up dining experiences from some of our favorite Miami chefs and a slew of adorable farmers and flea markets round out the festivities. Ready to have some fun in the 305? Here are the best things to do in Miami this weekend.
