The Design District Just Got 12 New Eating and Drinking Spots Under One Roof
And Get Ready for a Late-Night Rendezvous at Blue Ribbon
By Ginger Harris

Wednesday

FROM PERKS

            Truly Wireless Earbuds With Insane Battery Power

Allow us to introduce you to the finest wireless earbuds this side of the Great Lakes: Acend-1 True Wireless Earbuds, which happen to be 34% off. They’re designed in Detroit,
have insane battery power, won’t fall out, feature dual microphones and so many more creature comforts.
They’ll even play music.

NOT-SO-SILENT AUCTION

            A Benefit for the Children and Families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Enough Said.

Delano, the Art Plug and Doheny Room are teaming up for an event and silent auction wherein 100% of the
proceeds go toward the victims of the Parkland tragedy. Works include prints and sculptures of gun parts
encased in Lucite that were turned in through gun buyback, amnesty programs or confiscated from crime
scenes. Go to this.

Thursday

OUT TO LUNCH

            Oh, the Many New Things Happening at Stiltsville

It’s like Stiltsville knew you needed some Cajun oysters with spicy Andouille sausage remoulade and a
post-work coconut-rum-and-ginger-beer concoction. So they started serving lunch and also created a happy
hour. Possibly just for you. Possibly for others, too.

Friday

MARKET VALUE

            The Design District Has a St. Roch Miami Market Now

And just like that, the Design District has its own food hall, too. It’s got a dozen spots like Coop for
southern comfort food, Itamae for Peruvian-sushi, Mayhaw for craft cocktails, Chef Chloe and the Vegan Cafe
for dessert, plus a very photogenic, rainbow-hued wall of books for Instagram purposes. Obviously.

Saturday

TAP OUT

            Beer and Yard Games and Pretzels and Yay

The Riverside Market, Native Brewing and the Restaurant People all got together, decided Fort Lauderdale
needed more beer and opened Tarpon River Brewing. So suddenly there’s a new taproom and restro in a 1920’s
warehouse with a crowler-filling station, yard games and jumbo pretzels with beer-cheese. Nice teamwork,
guys.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER

            Things Are About to Go Late at Blue Ribbon

Just when you thought your cravings for Blue Ribbon fried chicken were relegated to traditional business
hours, the Plymouth deliciousness hub goes and extends the full dinner menu until 2am. Which means you can
have that, plus things like Japanese kobe beef strip steak and sashimi until 2am. Just making sure that was
clear.

What Else Is New

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.
