New Menu at DC PIE
DC Pie, Brickell’s neighborhood destination known for its brick-oven pies and homemade Italian fare is proud to launch new menu items, inspired by founder, Dominic Cavagnuolo’s personal lifestyle and healthy habits. The new dishes reflect DC Pie’s core philosophy which is real food made with real ingredients. Guests will be able to enjoy fresh salads, wholesome bowls and guilt-free sandwiches made with thin-toasted bread baked in house. Following their well-balanced philosophy, guests will be able to enjoy new pastas — which is also a first for the pizzeria.
Menu highlights include:
Kale Chop Sandwich – oven baked chicken breast, kale, pecorino tossed in caesar dressing served on thin toasted bread made in house ($18)
Calabrian Chicken Bowl – lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, sweet cherry peppers tossed in house dressing ($21)
Mediterranean Bowl – Arugula, artichokes, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, walnuts, Greek geta, Kalamata olives tossed in champagne vinaigrette ($17)
Rigatoni – homemade rigatoni tossed in fresh tomato sauce made in house daily with fresh parmesan ($22)
Dom’s Favorite Pie – homemade mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, long hots, shallots, fresh garlic and basil leaves ($26)
New Weekend Brunch at Tacocraft
South Florida weekend brunch options are about to get a whole lot bolder as Tacocraft Taqueria & Tequila Bar is turning up the flavor and the fun with the launch of an all-new Weekend Brunch, which will debut across the Mexican concept’s three locations beginning at the Coral Springs outpost on November 29th & 30th; followed by Lauderdale-by-the-Sea (December 6th & 7th) and Plantation (December 13th & 14th).
Available Saturdays and Sundays from 11AM to 4PM, the new brunch experience will deliver high-energy vibes, bold flavors, and a taste of nostalgia (we’ll explain). Add in a live DJ, bottomless margaritas, and buckets of Surfside and SipsMARGS into the mix, and you’ve got the recipe for the ultimate flavor fiesta.
Rest assured, the new brunch is not your standard “Mexican style” brunch, as Tacocraft is blending the best of its signature taqueria fare with fan-favorites from two iconic sadly gone 954 concepts: Rok:Brgr and Henry’s Sandwich Station.
Both F&B hotspots – in their time – were also owned/operated by Falsetto Hospitality, the trend-setting restaurant consortium by restaurateur/entrepreneur Marc Falsetto. To ensure brunch delivers, Falsetto went back into both restaurant’s flavor files, resurrecting much-missed dishes and reinventing several as brunch bangers. To that end, expect playful takes on classics such as Rok:Brgr’s beloved Morning Glory Burger, reborn as the crave-worthy Morning Glory ‘Smash Burger’ reserve taco; the return of French Toast Lollipops, churro dusted and served with horchata crème; and handheld supremacy from Henry’s with a Hangover Sandwich, consisting of sunny side up eggs, smoked bacon, tomato, avocado and spicy mayo on toasted sourdough, alongside other elevated throwbacks designed to surprise and delight longtime
Additional highlights include a destined to be an Instagram sensation – a four-inch thick, ten-inch wide Cast Iron Skillet Pancake served with melted agave butter and Vermont maple syrup; the both savory and sweet Chicken & Waffles – crispy chicken tenders and mini churro waffles with candied bacon and maple syrup; Short Rib Birria Benedict – poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise on jalapeño cheddar corn bread; Breakfast Fajita Skillet – scrambled eggs, smoked bacon, potatoes, onions and peppers, served with warm tortillas; and Huevos Ranchero ‘Nacho Style’ – tortilla chips, sunny side up eggs, black beans, queso fresco, pickled red onion, crema and ranchero sauce.
Fear not as several Tacocraft brunch signatures remain including made-to-order Guacamoles including the classic, Bacon & Corn, Sweet Potato and Tropical; as well as the requisite array of best-selling Tacos including the Carne Asada, OG Gringo, Pork Belly, Crispy Shrimp and Truffle-Mushroom, to name a few.
Holiday Cocktails at Giselle Miami
Perched atop E11EVEN Miami, Giselle Miami is celebrating the season with a collection of cocktails inspired by winter flavors, tropical notes, and a touch of holiday glamour. The menu includes the Christmas Tree Martini, a clarified blend of vanilla-infused E11EVEN Vodka, apple cider, cranberry, lemon, and winter spice. It’s also offered in group pours—4 for $70 or 6 for $100—making it a fun option for festive gatherings.
Guests will also find the Ho Ho Hula, made with Patrón Reposado, pineapple, condensed milk, and allspice dram; Snowman Season, a smoky mix of chai-infused Ilegal Mezcal, Pedro Ximenez, guava, and orgeat; and the bubbly Ornament Spritz, featuring Bombay London Dry Gin, prosecco, pomegranate, rosemary, and citrus. For something rich and decadent, the Angel’s Egg Nog combines brown butter and pecan–infused Angel’s Envy Bourbon with traditional egg nog and Frangelico.
