The cozy café-and-restaurant hybrid opened in November 2024 in the former Par- adis Books & Bread space, blending the tal- ents of chef Nu’Man Hall, baker Julian Gheiler, and the Blk Brw coffee collective. By day, Four served artisanal coffee and pastries; by night, it transformed into an intimate din- ing spot featuring Hall’s Afro-Caribbean dishes and a curated wine list. Despite its short run, Four became a neighborhood favorite, known for its sense of community and creativity as much as for its food. Locals came not just to eat but to connect — it was a gathering place where chefs ex- perimented freely and guests felt part of something personal. Al- though its closure reflects the finan- cial pressures fac- ing Miami’s independent res- taurants, its leg- acy of heart, inclusivity, and flavor endures. The space at 12831 W. Dixie Hwy. won’t stay quiet for long: it’s set to reopen this November as Side- walk Bottleshop, the popular Fort Lauder- dale wine shop and hangout expanding into North Miami. Wall’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream (South Miami Location) After 20 years of serving Miami families with delicious, house-made ice cream sun- daes and creamy fudge, beloved ice cream parlor Wall’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream closed its original location in South Miami on Saturday, October 4. This was truly dev- astating to the community, as the pictur- esque, vintage-inspired parlor had been a landmark for 20 years for creamy ice cream sundaes, cones, scoops, and rich fudge. “Oh no, we’re really going to miss that location!” said a customer. “It holds so many special memories — it was a part of my children’s childhood tradition to grab pizza and then head over for your amazing ice cream. So many good times there. We’re sad to see it go, but so happy you’re continuing else- where. Truly the best ice cream ever!” In response to the outcry, Wall’s re- sponded to customers with the following statement: “We’re so sad too! We are working as hard and as quickly as possible to find a new location nearby, so we can continue to be part of this great community. We love all of our customers and are so grateful for being part of so many memories! Luckily, we have our store on Sunset where you can continue enjoying the same delicious, old-fashioned ice cream! But as soon as we have a new spot, we will let everyone know! Thank you so much for the love!” Folks can still grab delicious Wall’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream at their new Sunset lo- cation at 9521 Sunset Dr. NICOLE LOPEZ-ALVAR “WE ARE WORKING AS HARD AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO FIND A NEW LOCATION NEARBY, SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO BE PART OF THIS GREAT COMMUNITY.”
