While the Grinch has a heart two sizes too small, your heart will be filled with cheer as a Grinch-themed bar is set to debut in Miami.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a favorite holiday movie for a lot of people and a bar in Miami will soon be taking the love for the Grinch to the next level. A Christmas pop-up bar will open next week. But unlike most Christmas events that feature Santa Claus, this one will feature the green curmudgeon: the Grinch.
The speakeasy-style bar will be called “How the Grinch Stole Santa Diabla” and will be located, not in Whoville, but in Miami Lakes behind Chela’s Cocteleria. According to Miami New Times, there will be a limited-time menu of tapas and fun holiday cocktails with names like “coconut cup”, “Santa’s Milk & Cookies”, “O Holy (Dark) Night” and “Tiki Claus”.

“How the Grinch Stole Santa Diabla” opens Thursday, November 9 and runs through Saturday, January 6. You can find more info and make reservations here
Three Florida Restaurants Made The List Of Favorites By The New York Times
When it comes to good restaurants, we’re lucky here in the Sunshine State to have plenty to choose from and three Florida restaurants just made the list of favorites by the New York Times.
We all have different reasons why a restaurant might be our favorite. Is it that every time you’ve gone there hasn’t been a dish you haven’t loved? Does it have a great ambiance? Do you get impeccable service? Do they make the drinks a little stronger than somewhere else? I love trying new restaurants, but there are also those I go back to again and again. I feel like just here in Southwest Florida I have a favorite in each city from Fort Myers to Cape Coral to Naples. And all for different reasons.
Each year the New York Times puts out their list of 50 favorites. To put together the list, the research is done by dozens of reporters, editors and critics who have the very tough job to visit hundreds of restaurants across the country. How do I get THAT gig? I may not be a critic, but I do love to eat. They’re not all fine dining restaurants either, it’s a very diverse list.
