In luxe subterranean digs inspired by Havana's pre-Castro era as "the Monte Carlo of the Caribbean," Boston's COJE Management Group (Yvonne's, Coquette, more) is betting that locals want a nightlife destination that's all grown up. The team's latest endeavor, My Girl, beckons to those who want to sink into comfortable lounge seating with a chimichurri oil-spiked dirty martini or caramelized banana Old Fashioned, enjoying live music or DJs who don't drown out conversation.

Miami Beach's dining scene welcomes a vibrant new addition with the opening of Pauline, a seafood-forward restaurant, and its adjoining cocktail lounge, Little Torch, at The Shelborne By Proper, 1801 Collins Avenue. Officially opening on November 9, Pauline marks a defining new chapter in coastal cuisine and cocktail culture, blending Caribbean-Latino influences, Michelin-caliber technique, and the timeless allure of Miami Beach's Art Deco heritage.

"This case began 493 days ago, in early May of '24, and is only about restoring my property entitlements," said Paul Stables, the property owner.

The new Roman-inspired cocktail lounge, Bar Avoja, opens soon in Hollywood, featuring a menu by chef Evan Funke and offering authentic Italian street food and cocktails.
