New Year’s Eve at Zuma Miami
Ring in 2025 in style at Zuma Miami, a beloved fixture on Brickell’s dining scene, known for pulling out all the stops for New Year’s Eve. Step onto the red carpet for a glamorous photo moment before entering the familiar yet transformed space, where live DJs and performers set the celebratory tone. While guests can opt for à la carte dining (with a minimum spend), the highlight of the evening is an exclusive New Year’s Eve omakase ($348 per person). This indulgent, truffle-heavy, multicourse experience features an array of fabulous dishes, including sea bass sashimi with truffle and salmon roe, Wagyu gyoza with black truffle, toro maki topped with caviar, and a premium 4-oz. Japanese Wagyu steak, enhanced with chili daikon ponzu, yuzu dressing, and truffle soy. There are two seating options in the main dining room (the first from 6 to 8 p.m., and the second from 9 to 10:30 p.m.), but it’s during the later seating when the true NYE festivities take off.
Activations and Libations at W South Beach
Balmy temperatures and palm trees might not evoke traditional holiday vibes, but this December the luxurious W South Beach is adding a seasonal twist to its signature sun-soaked fun, giving us the perfect excuse for a treat-yourself staycation. Resort guests can indulge in treats like a daily hot cocoa bar, cookie-decorating sessions three times a week, and “Tinsel & Tonics,” a cocktail-making class offered on Fridays and Saturdays. Special one-off events, such as a DIY snow globe workshop on December 27, add even more excitement. Not staying at the resort? No problem—locals can join in too. Throughout December, the Living Room bar will be serving up creamy Christmas Coquitos and iced Grove Rum Apple Cider, best enjoyed during the bar’s free live music sessions from Thursday to Saturday, starting at 9:30 p.m.
Holiday Grub at Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer
Earlier this year, New York City icon Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer made its debut at Brickell City Centre, bringing its award-winning burgers, Instagram-famous milkshakes, and nostalgic late ’80s/early ’90s vibe to Miami. While its year-round offerings remain crave-worthy, this December the restaurant is incorporating some festive flair with seasonal specialties. Leading the way is the Holiday Juicy Lucy, a brie-stuffed Wagyu patty topped with sprout slaw, crispy shallots, and a rich peppercorn sauce. The fun continues with Black Tap’s Holiday Mini CrazyShake Flight, featuring three indulgent, festive shakes: the Christmas Tree Shake complete with a vanilla-frosted rim and a whimsical Christmas tree cake; the Eggnog Gingerbread Shake topped with gingerbread cookie crumbs, whipped cream, and a cherry; and the Chocolate Peppermint Sugar Cookie Shake adorned with crushed candy canes.
