Miami May 2025 Restaurant Openings

Hungry for what’s new in Miami? Pull up a seat (or just keep those AirPods in while pretending to work) because this episode is serving up the freshest scoop on the Magic City’s latest restaurant openings for May 2025.
I’m taking you on a tour of the wild, weird, and downright delicious spots opening their doors—from South Beach’s glitziest crudo bar (where the only thing cooler than the martinis is the AC), to hidden Ecuadorian gems, Italian markets that moonlight as pizza joints, and yes, even a star-shaped pizza that’s totally Instagram-worthy (you know you’re gonna post it).
We’ll chat about:
Fluke Martini & Crudo Bar – Because martinis and raw fish are the new peanut butter and jelly. Sorry, not sorry.
Double Knot – Philly’s sushi and izakaya vibes, now in Wynwood. Expect big flavor and probably a mural selfie.
Cotoa – Michelin-level Ecuadorian fare in North Miami, featuring a lava cake that’ll ruin all other desserts for you.
Casa Nané – Your new favorite café in Brickell, with cookies so good you’ll hide them from your kids.
Bar Bucce – Italian market by day, pizza-and-wine paradise by night. The only thing missing is Nonna yelling at you for not calling enough.
Cotoletta – Coconut Grove’s cozy Milanese bistro with veal cutlets and so many family photos you’ll start to question if you’re related.
Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza – Miramar’s latest with pizzas shaped like stars. Order one and pretend you’re not impressed (but you totally are).
Miami Worldcenter – It’s $6 billion of new downtown dining, shopping, and people-watching. Bonus: A steakhouse you’ll need to book six months in advance.
If you love food, fun, and discovering Miami’s best bites before your friends do, you’re in the right place. So press play, grab a snack (trust me, you’ll be hungry), and let’s explore what’s hot, what’s hyped, and what’s honestly just really tasty this month in Miami.
Let’s eat! (Or at least talk about it like we mean it.)

Home-Builder Squeeze: 117,000 Finished Homes—and Why They Aren’t Moving in 2025

Spring usually means “sold” signs sprouting like wildflowers, but this year the builder lots look a little… barren. In this episode, we dive into the numbers behind the biggest pile-up of finished—but still unsold—new single-family homes since 2009. You’ll learn:
Why national builders from D.R. Horton to Lennar are breaking out the supersized incentives—think 5-figure rate buydowns and price trims—to keep the sales wheels turning.
How inventory slack is piling up fastest in Sun Belt hotspots such as Florida and Texas (and what that means for local pricing power).
The balancing act between shrinking gross margins and the need to keep permits and housing starts humming.
What ResiClub’s “Finished Homes Supply Index” is really telling us—and why we’re nowhere near a 2008-style cliff dive (yet).
Practical takeaways for buyers, sellers, and investors looking to negotiate in this suddenly leverage-friendly market.
Grab your headphones and your favorite real-estate-market beverage—we’re breaking down the data, the builder earnings-call sound bites, and the opportunities hiding in plain sight. By the end, you’ll know exactly where the leverage lies this spring and how to make it work for you.
