Irma has come and gone, and while most of Miami luckily came out unscathed, many Magic City restaurants, shops, and households are still trying to get power, internet, and A/C back and get back to business… literally.
Recognizing the damage this could cause restaurants and locals financially, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) is doing something to help. While Miami Spice was originally scheduled to run from August 1 to September 30 only, the bureau has extended its annual promotion through October 31 to entice local diners to go out to eat and boost local business.
At it’s core, this (typically) two-month feeding frenzy makes Miami’s best restaurants affordable for diners throughout the city. There are a whomping 250 participating restaurants (including 40 new ones, this year!), all with three-course lunch, brunch or dinner menus for $23 and $39 per person, respectively. Adding to its allure, even in October, the GMCVB will still take care of everything your night out needs—including transportation. Thanks to a partnership with Lyft, restaurant-goers can use one of two codes for a discounted ride: MIAMISPICE17 will get you 20% off two Lyft rides, and LUXPTEMPTATIONS will get you $15 off a Lyft luxury ride to and from any hotel restaurant.

NOTE: During this new month of Spice, which will be complemented by an extra month of both Miami Spa Month and Miami Attractions Month, it’s important to note that not all restaurants will be participating in the added promotion, based on their own business needs.

Happy dining!
