La Dolce Vita: Cipriani Downtown Now Open at Icon Brickell
In the restaurant world, there have been many New-York-To-Miami transplants over the years (The Dutch, Mr. Chow and Serafina, to name a few), but none have elicited the excitement surrounding the news that hotspot Cipriani Downtown would be opening in the 305.

Fine “Wining” Next Week at Joey’s, The Forge and Oak Tavern
There must be something in the air; some sigh of relief that high-season and its WMC/Ultra craziness is abating. How else to explain so many pop-up wine nights next week in the 305? Yes, after surviving Spring Break, we all deserve a glass of vino. Next Tuesday, Oak Tavern is hosting a wine dinner featuring Oregon’s Montinore Estate and Abacela
