A Time-Honored Sushi Restaurant<\/p>\n
Long before Miami had an upscale omakase lounge on nearly every corner, there was Sushi Rock Suniland. The Pinecrest restaurant appears to have quietly closed after more than two decades on South Dixie Highway. Although the restaurant\u2019s website<\/a> is up, it\u2019s static, and you cannot place an order. Additionally, Yelp<\/a> has marked the restaurant as closed, and the listed phone number is not working. Note: Only the Suniland location at 11293 South Dixie Highway has closed.<\/p>\n A Beloved Wynwood Staple Closes<\/p>\n In 2012, Gramps<\/a> opened, bringing cheap drinks, good vibes, and great music to Wynwood. In 2017, Pizza Tropical<\/a> opened, allowing customers to soak up their beers and bourbons with red sauce and cheese. This bright red-and-yellow pizza, \u201cventanita\u201d (little window in Spanish), offered sustenance in the form of cheese, dough, and red sauce. The pizza window\u2019s closure on December 10 was anticipated but heartbreaking. Gramps owner, Adam Gersten, posted a tribute to the beloved no-frills pizza shop on Instagram<\/a>, saying, \u201cCome get your final slices this week. You\u2019ll really be able to taste the tears. Maybe bring some flowers to place on top of the pizza window. Thank you all for your patronage of our pizza over the years. Not a pepperoni will be forgotten.\u201d Gramps closed January 4, but not without a surprise announcement that Pizza Tropical plans to reopen in February 2026, though details have not been released.<\/p>\n Smorgasburg wil reopen in Fort Lauderdale. Smorgasburg<\/p>\n An Outdoor Food Market Closes But Pops Up in Little River <\/p>\n Smorgasburg<\/a>, the Wynwood outdoor food and craft market, closed on December 7 to make room for a residential building. There is good news, however. Smorgasburg will pop up monthly as a Little River Night Market, located at 7200 NW Second Avenue. Smorgasburg also plans to open in Fort Lauderdale in the coming months. In a statement, Smorgasburg\u2019s owner, Gaston Becherano, said, \u201cWynwood will always hold a special place in our hearts as it was where we built our community. The closing of this location was bittersweet, but it opens the door to new experiences. Little River is an exciting next chapter where we\u2019ll continue to bring people together around great food, supporting local talent, and celebrating South Florida\u2019s culture in fresh ways.\u201d<\/p>\n A Longstanding Piece of Downtown Miami\u2019s Fabric Shuts Down<\/p>\n Since 1980, Las Palmas served cafecitos and hearty lunches to downtown Miami\u2019s community of college students, office workers, and port employees. In November, the Cuban cafeteria closed, putting a heartfelt message on Instagram<\/a>: \u201cTHANK YOU for sharing with us your stories, your ups and downs, the successes, the failures, the births, the deaths, the engagements, the marriages, everything. We loved being part of your lives all these years! \u201c<\/p>\n Four Decades of Fort Lauderdale Barbecue <\/p>\n For four decades, Tom Jenkin\u2019s BBQ<\/a> has served Fort Lauderdale, with the scent of smoked meats wafting down South Federal Highway. After years of service, its owners decided it was time to shut down the smoker, leaving the following message on its website<\/a>: \u201cAfter two years of careful planning, effective December 21, 2025, we have decided to retire and close the doors of Tom Jenkins\u2019 Bar-B-Q. We want to thank all our customers for all these years of loyal support. It has been an honor to serve you and the community. This has been a journey full of love blessed by God, and we are certainly grateful. Thank you again, and may God continue to bless you and your families.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Smorgasburg](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Smorgasburg.jpg\"\/)
