Happy Halloween weekend, Miami! Beyond spooky celebrations taking place citywide, a Trader Joe’s opens in Coral Gables, Steak 954 will celebrate the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show with meat-filled cooler specials, and Knaus Berry Farm is open for the season.
Trader Joe’s Opens in Coral Gables
Just in time for Halloween, Trader Joe’s is opening its Coral Gables store. When it opens this Friday, the store, located adjacent to the Shops at Merrick Park, will only be the third Trader Joe’s in Miami-Dade. In keeping with Trader Joe’s tradition, the shop will be decorated with murals that portray famous Coral Gables sites like the Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool, Miracle Mile, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Trader Joe’s is known to celebrate grand openings with balloons, giveaways, and samples all day long. The Coral Gables location will also have live music to entertain shoppers on opening day. 211 S. Dixie Hwy., Coral Gables; 305-661-1432; traderjoes.com. Opens Friday, October 29. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Knaus Berry Farm is Open for the Season
It’s that time of year again: Cinnamon rolls are once again available at Knaus Berry Farm! Knaus Berry Farm opened for season a few days ago, baking breads, pies, and — of course — cinnamon rolls. As with last season, there will be a limit — determined on a daily basis — to how many rolls each customer can purchase. Baked fresh daily, the rolls will be sold by the dozen for $14.50, or $1.75 apiece. Expect to wait in line for these delicious rolls, but aren’t they worth it? A few tips before you make the drive: Knaus is a cash-only operation, so make sure you hit the ATM, bring an umbrella to shade you from the elements while you wait on line, and make sure to buy an extra dozen rolls to freeze. 5980 SW 248th St., Homestead; 305-247-0668; knausberryfarm.com. Closed Sundays.
