Limit one per order and one time only. Whether you’re craving a burger or some post-race protein, here’s an offer to make everyone feel like a winner.

 

Now Open: Square Pie City

After years of buzzed-about pop-ups across Miami and offerings at South Beach’s expansive food hall Time Out Market, Square Pie City is finally giving the people what they want. Founded by local chef and hometown celebrity Jeremiah Bullfrog, it’s a true-blue pizza shop where diners can slice into signature airy pies, while enjoying the casual-meets-cool vibe associated with the concept.

Located in the bustling neighborhood of Miami Design District at 3918 N Miami Avenue, the space reflects the mercurial and artistic nature of Bullfrog, with a thoughtful menu that celebrates the authentic flavors that go into Detroit style deep-dish pies that loyal customers can’t get enough of.

Diners can choose from a small and straightforward menu of half-pies (4 slices) and full pies (6 slices) in unforgettably tasty options, or create their own. A selection of Red Pies includes the Classix (special “dat” sauce, mozzarella, provolone, parmesan), Ill Pepperoni (pepperoni, sauce mozzarella, parmesan), Red in the Head, Fire in Bed (spicy Calabrian chile, mozzarella, provolone, sauce), Meat Lovahs (bacon and sausage, pepperoni), and the Veg Supreme (mushroom, peppers, broccoli rabe).

Signature White Pies available are the slightly woodsy-flavored Many Magical Mushrooms (cremini, porcini dust, mozzarella, asiago, garlic) and the All White E’rrything, one of the menu’s highlights featuring housemade ricotta, white sauce created with the leftover whey from straining cheese—a detail that adds creaminess and depth of flavor to the pie. Rounding out the menu is the classic Little Gem Caesarand House Chopped Salad made with pickled peppers, salami, provolone and croutons.

Local beer and biodynamic wines are also available, along with an exciting cocktail program spearheaded by Mike Parish formerly of Broken Shaker, featuring a variety of small-batch vermouth options.

 

Accent Café Opens at the Arsht Center

The Adrienne Arsht Center is proud to announce the opening of its new full-service bistro, Accent Café led by the food and beverage experts of Constellation Culinary Group (CCG). Accent Café welcomes theater-lovers to grab a bite before their show with a selection of quick and easy ready-to-go boxes, an artisanal sandwich selection, house-made pastries and a variety of snacks.

The quick service café will open two hours before all shows in the Ziff Ballet Opera house and will feature a Meat and Cheese Box ($18), a chef’s selection of two charcuterie types of meat, two hard kinds of cheese accompanied by whipped feta, radish, cherry tomatoes and crackers to complete this mini charcuterie kit; a Veggie Box ($15), seasonal hummus, celery sticks, radish, cherry tomatoes and warm pita bread; or a Chocolate Box ($15), a cookie assortment of red velvet, junk in the trunk and sugar flavors with fresh strawberries and hazelnut chocolate.

Guests can also order items such as homemade croissants, chocolate croissants, leek and parmesan pastries, empanadas, candy, trail mix and more. Accent will also feature a complete beer, wine and hand-crafted cocktails menu.
