Your cup of Joe is a daily ritual, even on the weekends. Get your fix during your holiday shopping spree at Segafredo Zanetti Espresso’s newest outpost in Bal Harbour Shops. Order your espresso at the posh, Italian-inspired bar’s walk-up counter or on the garden patio. If it’s a libation you fancy, Segafredo’s got you covered with a fully-stocked bar (open until 2 a.m. on weekends). The new café debuts tonight night at 7 p.m.

When that case of the Mondays creeps in, ease your stresses with some VIP treatment. Join promoters Michael Madd and Abebe Lewis for the “Sushi Me” Monday soiree at Akashi’s month-old rooftop space on Ocean Drive. Enjoy sushi and sips in a laid-back ambiance complete with an ocean breeze.

You’re not one for modesty. So you probably don’t mind your hamachi with a side of Coyote Ugly—find a seat or snakeskin stool at Hot Tuna. An art installation has Samurai battles and Geisha gals hanging high, while down below, servers double as dancers to the tunes of ACDC and Bon Jovi. Luckily, the plates effortlessly grab your attention. Try Lobster Tail with saffron aioli and Hot Tuna Steak with Japanese eggplant and ponzu. Sip on cocktails, and enjoy bites and entertainment at tonight’s grand opening soiree from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Hot Tuna, 764 Washington Avenue (at 8th Street), Miami Beach, (877) 352-8862, RSVP to hotunamiami@taraink.com, hottunamiami.com
