Vivas Abejas at Toro Toro
Through Sunday, April 24, in honor of Earth Day (April 22), the InterContinental Miami's signature restaurant Toro Toro offers a special plant-based menu, Viva Abejas — a phrase that roughly translates to "long live bees." From now until April 24, guests can enjoy this buzz-worthy, limited-time menu created by chef Richard Sandoval, which incorporates bee-centric products such as edible flowers, honey, bee pollen, and avocado to remind guests of the importance of bees to our culinary ecosystem. Toro Toro is one of more than two dozen restaurants around the globe serving the menu, with a portion of proceeds from all Viva Abejas menu items donated to the Help Save the Bees Foundation. Additionally, in a playful call to action, the menu includes cocktails that come with wildflower seed tags, which guests can take home and plant to create more space in their yards and gardens for bees to pollinate. Viva Abejas runs through Sunday, April 24, at Toro Toro, 100 Chopin Plz., Miami; 305-372-4710; torotoromiami.com.Downtown Homestead Farmers' Market
