Dollar Dish: Restaurant.com Deals on Well-known Restaurants
I got an email about Restaurant.com giving 80% off its certificates through Thursday. On Restaurant.com, you can buy gift certificates to restaurants for yourself or others, usually for at least half off.
I've used the service before, with trepidation at first, but without any problems. I used the certificates at Maroosh (Falafel pictured above.) and Chispa in Coral Gables. There are restrictions.

Pizza Crawl - North Miami
This past Sunday, I took part in the North Miami leg of the pizza crawl. We visited Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza , Pizza Fusion, and Rack's Italian Bistro & Market (pictured above). I had a slightly different experience than the rest of the group because my party arrived late. There were already 25 or so people packed like sardines at the makeshift banquet table that Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza set up for the event. So my group had a seat at the bar and ordered two of our own pizzas to try.

Friends will sometimes ask me how I accrue this random knowledge of interesting events and places about town. Besides the fact that I’m a speed reader and can skim a lot of information from a quick flip of the blogs, I have some sources.
