DINE Magazine stopped at The News Lounge and McCormick & Schmick’s

This week we discovered The News Lounge. This relaxed, indoor/outdoor lounge owned by the Graspa Group was the ideal setting for our group. We enjoyed the brisk weather, sipped on wine and enjoyed a selection of sumptuous hors d’oeuvres like the puff pastry pizza, hummus and pita and a variety of crostinis while we lounged on the plush chairs. Check out some of our photos from the event. The News Lounge is located at 5580 NE 4th Ct in Miami.

On Wednesday, we headed out to the brand new McCormick & Schmick’s located in CityPlace. Open for only a few days prior to our event, our group was excited to check it out — and found ourselves wanting to try everything. We were greeted with a glass of Mohua wine — the Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Noir.

Plates of sushi, bruschetta, egg rolls and more made the way to our group’s table and were quickly eaten up — and thoroughly enjoyed. Their seafood is fresh (flown in twice daily) and the happy hour deals are fabulous (starting at $1.95), so we will be back. McCormick & Schmick’s is located at 651 Okeechobee Blvd, in West Palm Beach. Check out some of our photos from the event.
