Entrance to the Carbone Beach pop up in Miami Beach
Membership certainly has its privileges in Miami during Formula 1 weekend.
American Express card members will be able to exclusively enjoy one of the hottest events May 5-8, on the sands of Miami Beach: A popup of fancy SoFi Italian eatery Carbone, appropriately called Carbone Beach.
The makeshift supper club, located on 18th Street and Ocean Drive, is a mini replica of the SoBe hotspot (located at 49 Collins Ave.), which also has locations in Las Vegas, Dallas and New York City (the original, which opened in Greenwich Village in 2013).
From 8 pm to midnight, card carriers can indulge in all of the glam restaurant’s signature courses, including the Instagram (and palate) friendly spicy rigatoni vodka. You’ll def want a picture with a plate of this gooey, swoonworthy stuff, maybe even more so than a selfie at the racetrack at Hard Rock Stadium.
Each evening begins with an “expertly curated cocktail hour,” with lots of caviar, followed by a seated dinner prepared by the restaurant’s co-owner, chef Mario Carbone. Your blissful experience ends with live entertainment by “surprise performers” and very likely a banging dessert. How exclusive is this thing? Only 200 guests per night will be fed — and fed.
“It will be an iconic experience,” said Jeff Zalaznick, co-founder of NYC based Major Food Group, whose portfolio in the 305 also includes Sadelle’s, ZZ’s Club and HaSalon. “We are excited to work with American Express to bring our very distinctive style of fun, high energy and fine dining to the beach.”
Seats, which include food, drinks (hello, Barolo), entertainment will set your card back a cool $3,200, including tax. Reserve your coveted spot on Resy.
