65 June 26 – July 2, 2025 NEW TIMES miaminewtimes.com | browardpalmbeach.com Perak will do the heavy lifting. Have no idea what to order? The less florally creative among us can take comfort in their “designer’s choice” options, which are sure to elicit an “OMG they’re beautiful!” reaction and maybe even a teardrop. They’re also one of the more affordable options in town. With arrangements beginning at $75, you might be able to send flowers to your entire roster. Pro tip: Their website offers next-day delivery, but same-day may be available if you call and ask (as long as it isn’t a major holiday). BEST WINE SHOP Vinonueva Fine & Rare Wines 5145 NE Second Ave. Miami 33137 786-655-0324 vinonueva.com Mass production and mass marketing of wine have despoiled and devalued one of humankind’s most glorious achievements. Fortunately, South Florida is home to a handful of independently owned, thought- fully outfitted retailers who are on hand to share the fruits of their knowledge. That, in a nutshell, is Vinonueva, where, since 2021, the emphasis is on matching customers with wines they’ll enjoy, regardless of price point. Sure, there’s an entire ultra-climate-con- trolled space where they pamper the pricey stuff. But if you find us at Vinonueva (and you very well might), we’ll be in the main room, looking for values. And on visit after visit, we’ve walked out with newfound fa- vorites at reasonable prices. It’s reached a point where Bernardo Villanueva, who co- founded the shop with his partner in life, Ana Corina Baptista, knows our budget (mid-$20 range) and our preferences (easy on the ABV; big, juicy flavors). And that’s a great feeling that gets even better when we open a bottle at home with a meal. Vinon- ueva recently relocated from its original MiMo home to a larger, airier space in the same modest Little Haiti strip mall that’s home to Boia De and Walrus Rodeo. Cheers to that, and to many more wine-filled years. BEST LIQUOR STORE El Gato Tuerto Liquors 3 area locations, including: 476 SW Eighth St. Miami 33138 305-854-8576 elgatotuerto.com Opened at the turn of the 21st Century, El Gato Tuerto has always had its one eye wide open for quality beer, wine, and spirits. The Calle Ocho locations are well stocked and serviced by a knowledgeable staff who can point you toward the best tequila, rum, gin or whiskey brands within your price range. They offer more types of beer and vintages of wine than your liver could possibly hope to handle. And if you’ve already pregamed or are overwhelmed with party planning, they de- liver. They’re open from 9 a.m. to midnight on Sundays through Thursdays, and till 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. BEST CANNABIS DISPENSARY Müv 9711 SW 77th Ave., #59 Miami 33156 833-880-5420 muvfl.com/locations/miami-kendall Picture this: you roll up to a drive-thru win- dow — but instead of grabbing a greasy burger and fries or cash from a banker, you’re handed a paper bag filled with con- tainers of dank Indica flower. At some MÜV dispensaries, that’s just another day. In 2017, the first Müv dispensary opened its doors in Phoenix, Arizona. The first Florida dispensary opened in Apollo Beach a year later. Fast forward to today, and the fast- growing chain has expanded to more than 60 locations across Florida, including sev- eral outposts in South Florida. The com- pany prides itself on high-quality, accessible, and affordable products, selling everything from aromatic flowers to a wide- ranging selection of concentrates and edi- bles. Its brick-and-mortar stores are staffed with knowledgeable and friendly team members ready to help customers find the perfect products to match their needs. In addition to the aforementioned drive-thru service, Müv offers delivery, so you don’t have to, you know, müv from the couch. (We’ll see ourselves out.) BEST TATTOO SHOP Panda Tattoo 7814 NE Fourth Ct., #101 Miami 33138 786-919-9998 pandatattoo.com Fine-line and hyper-realistic tattoos are hav- ing a moment, and no one does them better than Panda Tattoo (formerly House of a Thousand Roses) owner Tatu Panda and his apprentices. You may have seen Tatu’s art on Bad Bunny, Jake Paul, and Marc Anthony, but the Ironside ink purveyors serve clients of the non-famous variety too. Tatu(whose business partner is Matt Zingler, co-founder and CEO of Rolling Loud) creates detailed and almost impossibly precise custom tats that will make all your friends ask: “Damn, where’d you get that?” BEST CBD STORE Mary Jane’s Bakery 175 NW 14th St. Miami 33136 305-930-3434 maryjanesbakeryco.com/location/miami Mary Jane’s Bakery is a CBD-infused won- derland where flavor meets flower and good times are guaranteed.
