Coral Gables Restaurant Week...Why Not?

Food Lovers, which is just about everyone, would be happy to learn about Coral Gables Restaurant Week (if you haven't so already). It works just like Miami Spice, it has a pre-set, three-course menu for lunch and dinner. The only difference is that the restaurants are located in Coral Gables (duh).

It starts on June 1st and runs through June 14th and has the following delicious restaurants (some are among strictlyMIA faves) to chose from:

• Bangkok Bangkok II
• La Cofradia Ceviche Bar
• Le Provencal
• Ortanique on the Mile
• Por Fin

Point is, if you don't participate...you're dumb and we mean that in the nicest way possible.

Restaurant Closings

Has this ever happened to you? You're craving a specific restaurant, you get excited as you get near only to find that its been closed! I'm not going to lie, its only happened to me once but I absolutely HATED it!

I came across a list of "restaurant victims" from the Miami New Times food blog that I found really helpful.

Join me in saying goodbye to:

• Christabelle's Quarter
• Macabi Steakhouse and Bar
• Santo ( Please note that the bar is still open)
• The Food Gang
• Two Chefs Too
