buenProvecho

Today we’re going to explore some of the best restaurants you can check out in Miami Beach during the spring, several of which are close to the beach! Without further ado, let’s get started.

We’ll begin with 27 Restaurant on Indian Creek Drive. A full-service restaurant and bar by the same people behind the popular Broken Shaker, the eatery captures Miami’s rich diversity. Guests can try menu offerings from South America to the Middle East, Caribbean, and more.

For something truly upscale, you might want to check out Pao by Paul Qui located inside the luxurious Faena on Collins Avenue. Paul Qui is a winner of the prestigious James Beard Award and he also won during his season on popular show Top Chef. You’ll be able to dine on Japanese, Filipino, and Texas cuisine.

Originally appearing in New York, Lucali on Bay Road became an instant success the day it opened for business. The calzones and pizza are prepared using handmade dough and the eatery is also recognized for using some of the freshest ingredients. Despite the popularity, Lucali maintains a simplistic charm.

Yardbird on South Beach’s Lenox Avenue is a perennial favorite since its opening in October 2011.

III Points Announces a Major Headliner

You may be familiar with Gorillaz. No, not the animal, but the British virtual band. Fronted by and comprised of multi-talented musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer Damon Albarn, Gorillaz is known for being an entirely animated band.

Despite critical acclaim and a strong fanbase, Gorillaz has never performed in the state of Florida, but that will be changing this year. For the first time, the band will visit The Sunshine State along with several contributors to perform at this year’s III Points as one of the headliners. The three-day festival will kick off on October 13th at Mana Wynwood. It is the only Florida stop Gorillaz will make during its 2017 Humanz tour. The tour is in support of their upcoming fifth studio album also titled Humanz, scheduled for release on the 28th.

Gorillaz emerged back in 2001 with its self-titled debut album, spawning the hit “Clint Eastwood”. The band’s 2005 sophomore album Demon Days proved to be even more successful thanks to the massive hit “Feel Good Inc.” Follow-up albums Plastic Beach and The Fall were both released in 2010.

The rest of the III Points lineup will be announced in the coming days. You can learn more about the festival at the official website: http://iiipoints.com/.
