Bagel Balls Pop-Up at the Sagamore Hotel

For the next month, Bagel Balls will host a pop-up at the Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach, open every Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon. While supplies last, you can pick up boxes of three, six, or a dozen bagel balls in flavors like plain, everything, cinnamon raisin, onion, pumpernickel, sesame, garlic, chocolate chip, and guava. The original Bagel Balls were created in 1989 by Al Burger, founder of Rosters 'N Toasters. In 2020, after years of retirement, the Burger family decided it was time to bring Bagel Balls back through local pop-ups and online ordering. 9 a.m. to noon Thursdays through Sundays through Sunday, February 21, at the Sagamore Hotel, 1671 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; instagram.com/bagel_balls.

South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Artisan Food Market on Lincoln Road

A new monthly market aimed at supporting local restaurants and businesses hurt by the pandemic launches on Lincoln Road this Sunday. As a prelude to its annual event in May, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival (SOBEWFF) has announced a partnership with the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (BID) in an effort to highlight small businesses affected by ongoing COVID-related restrictions. For the first edition, the market will feature a lineup curated by Naughty Fork food blogger Samantha Schnur. Participants include 2 Korean Girls, Baker Pies, Cao Chocolates, Hy Vong, Night Owl Cookies, Pink Pie, Planta, and the Dumpling Lady, among others. The monthly outdoor market series, a collaborative effort by BID board member Lyle Stern and SOBEWFF founder Lee Brian Schrager, will run the last Sunday of every month leading up to the 2021 festival, which has been pushed back from its traditional mid-February time slot to the weekend of May 20-23. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, January 24, located on Michigan Ave. between Lincoln Lane North and Lincoln Lane South; sobewff.org/market.
