Thursday
Cupcakes and Bacon Burgers in Midtown
ON POINT

Cupcakes and Bacon Burgers in Midtown

High on your list of needs: a morning-to-night croissant and red velvet cupcake hookup. Enter this place, a new café for casual dinners of Octopus Salad or the Sweet Point Burger topped with bacon, ham, fried egg and chips. It’s like a bacon burger, squared.

Saturday
A 17-Hour Block Party
BLOCK BUSTER

A 17-Hour Block Party

Your favorite indie record shop is celebrating its sixth anniversary this weekend. Their gift to you: a daylong block party with performances from two dozen local bands and DJs, a food truck rally and gratis beer. You love DJ-fueled birthday parties.

Apr 16, 10am-3am, no cost, Sweat Records, 5505 N 2nd Ave, 786-693-9309

Rooftop Bikinis Downtown
STRINGS ATTACHED

Rooftop Bikinis Downtown

It’s been a while since you witnessed a rooftop bikini fashion show (at least a week). Here to rectify the situation: this showcase of two-piecers populated by 40 models sporting the works of 10 designers. It’s best to approach these things with an open mind. And lots of cocoa butter.

Apr 16, 4-8pm, $25, Marriott Biscayne Bay, 1633 N Bayshore Dr, 786-600-8210, tickets here

Montaco’s Goodbye Party
VAMOS

Montaco’s Goodbye Party

Now that winter is over, the taco gypsies behind the NYC-based truck are heading back north. Bid them farewell at The Stage as they sling their last Playero tacos. Bonus: bring one of Montaco’s stickers and get half off Brendan O’Hara’s performance inside. Consider it a taco badge of honor.

Sunday
Bayside Brunching in the Grove
SHELL SHOCK

Bayside Brunching in the Grove

After a day of outdoor concerting, a restorative brunch may be in order. We suggest the Grove Isle’s latest mimosa-laden contender. Your spread includes unlimited champagne, oysters, Char-Grilled Flank Steak and amazing views of the bay. Nothing revives like a waterfront steak.

Sundays, 11am-3pm, $45, Gibraltar, 4 Grove Isle Dr, 305-857-5007
