Dining and entertainment have always been two sides of the same coin – anyone remember date nights, family vacations, and friendly gatherings before they went virtual? Self-isolation has since caused many of us to lean on one dimensional activities – Netflix, baking, tie dye, you name it – but quarantined or not, we still have an appetite for more.
That’s why SMS has curated a menu of programming designed to feed our human desire for connection, culture, and cuisine during what – for many – is a very lonely time.
A Recipe for Date Night
Every Friday night at 7pm, Miami Beach’s New World Symphony presents “Live from our Living Room” a musical performance by one of the fellows enrolled at the prestigious institution. Whether you’re quarantining with your better half or remain connected virtually, let the NWS’s melodic music set the mood.
Our recommended food pairing: Downtown’s Miami Fratelli Milano’s homemade pasta kit. This halfway homemade pasta is prepared fresh and delivered to your door so you to add the finishing touches together. The best part? It’s 15% off when you order direct.
Family-Friendly Fun
Young scientists can now take a 360-degree tour of the Frost Science Museum’s primary exhibition spaces, including “Feathers to the Stars,” an astounding exploration of the history of flight and “The River of Grass,” which looks at the Everglades’ incredible biodiversity. Step-by-step experiments are also available.
Our recommended food pairing: Coconut Grove’s Farinelli 1937’s DIY pizza. Keep the whole family engaged as you make pizza from scratch. Live in the Grove? Order direct to have your dinner delivered to your door, compliments of Freebee and the Coconut Grove BID.
For Lovers of Dance & Dining
The Miami City Ballet livestreams beginner, intermediate, and stretch classes three times a week, so there’s no excuse not to meet these exquisite dancers at the barre.
Our recommended food pairing: A healthy Mediterranean spread from Fooqs in Downtown Miami. Grill fresh kebabs and veggies then dip them in Fooq’s famous hummus and baba ghanoush. Order direct and save 10%.
House Music & Homemade Cocktails
For those who miss Friday night happy hour, live DJs, and their friends (we’re looking at you) follow the Miami Downtown Development Authority’s (DDA) Instagram account @downtownmia and tune in every Friday night at 6pm as the DDA hosts a live DJ and virtual happy hour.
