While the burger spot will have a dining area and outdoor seating, Granado also plans to bring his love of music into the space. A recurring event called Teeny Tiny Disco will bring live DJ sets into the dining room. Here, guests can expect both established and up-and-coming artists. The restaurant is also launching “Dream Smash,” a digital series in which musicians and creators join Granado to create their dream smash burgers for YouTube and social media. Opening weekend will bring the two sides of Granado’s together with $5 burgers, free swag, and entertainment, including the first Teeny Tiny Disco performance from a yet-to- be-announced special guest. The restaurant will also stay open very late on weekends. (This is a potentially dangerous development for anyone who has ever found themselves hungry in Brickell at 2 a.m.) And for Miamians who want to be among the first to try it, the countdown is officially on. Granado’s. Open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, starting Thursday, Oct. 2, at 1250 S. Miami Ave., Miami; eatgra- nados.com. Nicole Lopez-Alvar ▼ MIAMI-DADE THE SHOW GOES ON Miami Spice Restaurant Months is officially getting an extra month. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau has extended the 25th edition of the dining program through October 31 after a record 405 restaurants participated during August and September. This is not the first time Miami Spice has stretched into a third month — but it has been almost a decade since it did so. The program also ran through Halloween in 2017 to help local restaurants recover business lost when Hurricane Irma forced closures across South Florida. However, this year’s extension is thank- fully tied to the program’s anniversary and re- cord participation rather than a hurricane. Menu prices will remain unchanged for October. Participating restaurants will offer three-course brunch and lunch menus for $40, while dinner menus will cost $50 or $65. The new Miami Spice Reserve tier, which covers premium prix-fixe and tasting-menu experiences, starts at $95. According to the GMCVB, each menu provides at least 30 percent savings com- pared with ordering similar dishes à la carte. The extension does not necessarily mean all 405 restaurants will continue for another month, though. A new list of restaurants par- ticipating in October will be posted on the of- ficial Miami Spice website beginning October 1, so check which restaurants opted in before assuming an August or September menu is still available. Miami Spice launched in 2002 to bring business into local restaurants during the slower summer months. The program started with roughly 50 restaurants and grew to a then-record 387 participants in 2025. This year’s final count reached 405 restau- rants across Miami-Dade and Miami Beach, topping that record while introducing the Re- serve tier. Select menus will continue to offer optional wine pairings, and Uber Eats will carry delivery and takeout promotions from participating restaurants during the extension. Camillus House also remains the pro- gram’s nonprofit beneficiary. Diners can do- nate through QR codes printed on participating menus, with contributions sup- porting meals, shelter, housing, and other ser- vices for people experiencing homelessness in South Florida.

The October restaurant list will be available beginning October 1. OLEE FOWLER ▼ MIAMI-DADE SWEET SPOT Miami matcha and bakery favorite Honey Veil is opening two more locations, one at Aventura Mall and another in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour. Founders Cecilia “Ceci” Alcobe and Regina Alcobe have not announced opening dates for either outpost, but both locations surfaced on social media, where the brand built much of its following. The sisters started at farmers’ markets in 2024, opened their first trailer in February 2025, and later added a permanent café in South Miami. Honey Veil began teasing its second store in a July 23 TikTok labeled “BTS: Second Store Ep. 1.” The video shows the sisters tour- ing the former Dr. Smood space at 1800 Bay Road, Suite 103, calling the project “a pantry concept” and asking followers to guess the neighborhood. The comments went to work. “Wyn- wood?” asked one person. Another decided, “The sign outside tells me it’s downtown.” Someone who recognized the spot had a dif- ferent reaction: “OMG HI NEIGHBORS YAYYYY” when recognizing the Sunset Har- bor location. Honey Veil has not explained what “pantry concept” means. The name suggests the café could pair its coffees, matchas, and baked goods with consumer products, though that re- mains speculation until the company shares more. Honey Veil already sells tins of its Hani- beru matcha online, so selling retail goods would not be entirely new territory. Food creator @ lauramorap re- vealed the new loca- tion on Sept. 9 with a six-second TikTok showing a “Honey Veil Coming Soon” sign inside Aventura Mall, across from Divieto Ristorante. Honey Veil already operates a trailer at Aventura Corporate Center, just north of the mall. The company briefly announced that Aug. 16 would be its final day there as the truck moved to the University of Miami. One day later, however, Honey Veil announced that it was “back” in Aventura under a new schedule. The UM trailer now operates Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., while the Aventura trailer serves customers on Sat- urdays and Sundays during the same hours. The forthcoming mall café will give Honey Veil a second Aventura location and its first permanent storefront in the area. Honey Veil’s current menu includes Ba- nana Bread Matcha, Honey Veil Matcha made with honey-vanilla syrup, coffee drinks, sourdough cinnamon rolls, and loaves.

Provided by Mano Libera The popular Miami Spice restaurant months will end on October 31, 2026, instead of the end of September after a record-breaking year.
