Roberto Cavalli Fashion Show at Kitchen 305

No disrespect to contemporary art, but a night of models is a little easier on the eyes. The North Miami supper lounge brings you Cavalli's latest sartorial designs, plus his signature Cavalli Vodka cocktails. The man certainly knows how to branch out.

The good folks from Ouzo's have packed up their South Beach digs and reopened in the former Renaisa space in the MiMo District. The waterfront spot still boasts seedy river views, but now thankfully there's plenty of tzatziki, fresh seafood and retsina to wash it all down.
