Tuesday, April 23: National Picnic Day at the Lobster Shack

It’s National Picnic Day, but who needs an excuse to chill outside with the besties? We’re all about vibes, good company, and grabbing a scrumptious bite in nature. Miami Beach is our spot today, and you know we’re hitting up the Lobster Shack for some finger-lickin’ takeout. The menu at the family-run business is straight-up perfect for a picnic. Whether you’re feeling their iconic South Beach lobster roll, dripping with flavor and topped with bacon, avocado, and slaw; or some bomb blackened shrimp tacos, the squad at the Shack got your back. Most likely, though, you’ll catch us snagging a bunch of rolls, a stack of seafood tacos, and a heap of starters like the spinach and artichoke crab dip (warning: highly addictive). 

Wednesday, April 24: Lunch at Midorie

Midorie in Coconut Grove is the ideal spot for fast-casual Japanese lunch with true soul. Alvaro Perez Miranda, the mastermind behind Hiyakawa and Ogawa, blesses us with this tranquil haven where simplicity meets authenticity. No music, just vibes focused on the freshest fish flown in straight from Japan. Slide into this cozy spot where lunchtime’s all about savoring the freshest catch. The menu features five classic Japanese dishes done right: fish donburi, maki, nigiri, sashimi, and temaki. Customize your bowl with fresh seafood like Atlantic salmon, yellowfin tuna, wild blue crab, and Japanese yellowtail, served up with crisp veggies and your choice of rice, soba noodles, or mixed greens, topped with house-made sauces bursting with umami. Midorie’s the spot to hit up for a wholesome and delicious lunch that definitely won’t break the bank. 

Thursday, April 25: Happy Hour at Better Days

Better Days isn’t just a spot, it’s a vibe, a sanctuary for locals seeking one of the illest happy hours in town. And that’s exactly where you’ll find us this tipsy Thursday. From 5 to 8 p.m., it’s a straight-up indulgence with $6 Dollar Premium Wells featuring top-shelf brands like Ketel One, Selva Rey, Johnnie Walker, Herradura, No 3 Gin, and Teeling. Feeling beer instead? They’ve got you covered with $5 drafts, or take a sip on the wild side with their $10 Cocktail of the Menu. Step into this dark, cozy spot dripping with pool tables, string lights, and flamingo vibes, and you know it’s about to go down. Better Days is a whole vibe, and even celebs like Anderson Pak and Bryan Cranston, amongst many more, have pulled up for a pop-up bartending cameo. Happy sipping!

Better Days is located at 75 SE 6th St, Miami, FL 33131. For more information, visit their official website. 

Friday, April 26: Happy Hour at Barsecco

Two happy hours in a row? Yes! Because why not? Get ready to elevate your happy hour game with us at Barsecco, popping off this Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. This isn’t your average happy hour—nah, here we’re talking everything at a smooth $7 or $8, and it’s way more than just basic fries and brews. Join us as we indulge in a selection of eclectic tapas, mouthwatering pizzas, martinis, bubbles, craft cocktails, brews, and wine—all up on the happy hour menu. We’re stepping in early to feast on those Baja chicken tacos with smoked bacon, and you know we’re sippin’ on their infamous Passion & Love Martini, setting the scene for a legendary night ahead. Don’t sleep on this spot; it’s where the vibes are li, and the flavors are next level.
