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.

A Seafood Affair

I've been slacking on my end of the posts this week but luckily we have Ms. Vaselina to keep us entertained. However, I'm back (please hold your excitement) and I have a new, low-key, cheap event for your family next SUNDAY funday.

The Deering Estate is hosting thier 5th Annual Deering Seafood Festival on the Bay. The festival features live music, art exhibits, the Lil Shrimp Kids Zone, boat rides, and tours of the historical Deering Estate and more.

Our favorite part because we love eat is the fact that there will be live cooking demos from local chefs representing these fab restaurants:

• Oceanaire
• Ortanique on the Mile
• Bizcaya (Ritz-Carlton)

Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children over the age of 4.
