No-Guilt Comfort Food: We’re desperately craving healthier eats after the holidays, so you’ll find us at Miami spots with wholesome options — at least for this month. The good news is, if your best friend just started a new trendy diet or your vegan sister is in town visiting, you can all still meet up for a good meal at Ol’Days, a cafe where cuisine crafted with quality ingredients is meant to bring people together with soul-nourishing comfort food, instead of keeping us apart.
Wine Time: Our New Year’s resolution: become a wine expert, starting with a wine tour from the comfort of your counter seat at La Bibliothèque By Chèvre Miami. On Jan. 10 and 11, the spotlight is on Wines of California – the ticketed event gets you access to try a few pours, or the entire list, as you pay by the pour or flight. A menu of Chèvre’s world-class cheeses and sandwiches will also be available a la carte, and full wine bottles will be available for sale afterward.
Molto Italiano: The trend of Italian restaurant openings in town shows no sign of slowing down, but luckily every new concept offers its own spin. The L.A.-based Jon & Vinny’s diner-style Italian spot has launched a residency at the Rubell Museum in Alapattah for as long as they feel like it. Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove is Major Food Group’s latest endeavor here, an offshoot of their iconic Carbone inspired by Italy’s enotecas that doubles as a wine shop and restaurant, offering a 600+ bottle wine list alongside new pastas exclusive to the space. And MIKA by Michelin-starred chef Michael White brings ultra-high-end Italian-slash-Mediterranean fare with gourmet seafood dishes like langoustine carpaccio and pasta with octopus and bone marrow. As always, New on Resy is here to keep you fully up to date.
New to the Hit List (Jan. 2025) Fox’s Lounge, Hiyawaka, Jass Kitchen, The Katherine, Mangrove, Margot Natural Wine Bar, Ossobuco, Palma.
