Scotch and cigars. They go together like… well, like drinking and smoking. And yet, here we are in 2017 and still no vending machines spitting out hand-rolled cigars infused with 12-year-old Macallan on every corner. Until that situation is fixed and America is truly great again, turn your attention to Perks, where you’ll find some along with a healthy discount.
HEY, SUGAR
Bring a Date. Make Some Candy. Should Be Fun.
Spun Candy Miami is now open in Midtown. It’s the UK-based confectioner’s first stateside shop, and they teach master classes on how to make your own candy there. It’s also pretty close to Valentine’s Day. We’ll just leave those words right up there for future reference.

O Cinema Throws E.T. a Birthday Screening. Beer Is Involved.

Here’s a New Poke Place to Act Surprised About
When poke bowls and crispy chicken vaca frita buns happen, we all win. When tempura fries get dipped in Kona beer batter and feta-tofu dressing, we all win. When the guy from Makoto and Nobu Lana’i brings those things to Coral Gables, it’s called PokéBao. Sorry for breaking the theme there.

Bands. Lots of Them. By the Beach.
Take a beachfront stage and acts like Hot Chip and Ghostface Killah, add in vendors like Coyo Taco and Gramps, and you’ve got… a lot to process at the first-ever FM Festival. We’ll leave you to all that processing now.

JACK TALK
Food of the Italian and Comforting Sort in Wynwood
Here, let Nonna’s homemade meatballs at this new Italian comfort food haven called Jack’s make it all better. The rigatoni with Sunday gravy should also help. Oh, and the homemade meat loaf, too. This scenario works best if you pretend something’s wrong.
On a typical Wednesday, Ginger Harris is likely seeking reposado tequila, squeezing her way to the front of a concert or jumping on the back of an Indian motorcycle. That’s just Wednesdays, though.
