Indulge In Mango Season At These Miami Restaurants
It's that magical part of the summer when mangos are ripening and falling off the trees at rates that South Floridians can hardly keep up with. This sweet, juicy fruit is only available fresh for a very short period of time each year, making mango season something local restaurants dive into when it comes to creating delicious seasonal additions to their menus.
Mangoes begin to ripen at the end of May and continue to do so through October, though the bulk of the season takes place in June and July as temperatures heat up. If you're one of the lucky ones who has their own tree, you might be scrambling to use all of your mangoes. But if you don't have a tree of your own, and are craving all things mango, there are tons of restaurants that can help you satisfy the summer craving.
From cocktails to salsa to salads and more, it's not uncommon to see mango-inspired menu specials popping up all over the Magic City. Here are just a few places where you can get your mango fix this season.
aguachile de camaron con mango fresco
At KoKo by Bakan the Aguachile de Camarón con Mango Fresco is made with shrimp, fresh cilantro, lime, celery, pumpkin seeds and bell peppers. Topped with bites of juicy mango, this colorful and refreshing dish is perfect to bring in the summertime. 'Beyond just freshness, the diced mango is a vital component, providing a juicy, sweet counterpoint that harmonizes beautifully with the heat and tang of the aguachile,' says Eduardo Durazo, CFO of DZO Hospitality.
Local mango cheesecake
This beloved bakery in Wynwood is known for using local mangoes to make delicious treats every year. The mangoes this team uses are so local that they hold an annual Mango Trade each year where locals are encouraged to trade their homegrown mangoes for fresh baked goods. 'The Mango Trade is our way of honoring this unique season, celebrating the abundance of South Florida's summer harvest and the spirit of community that sustains us,' says the bakery on an Instagram post. This year's exchange rate is six mangoes = one loaf of bread – which sounds like a super solid deal. There are a few rules though: one trade per person per day, mangoes must be larger than a closed fist, and no bruised, cut, bitten, or overripe fruit. One of the mango treats you'll currently find on the Zak the Baker menu is a Mango Basque Cheesecake made with those local mangos and a Biscoff crust.
Known for its extensive menu of premium spirits, specialty cocktails, and small-batch wines, the Living Room at Faena has a summer cocktail that's right up any mango lover's alley. 'The Queen of Collins pays homage to the hotel's previous incarnation as the glamorous Saxony Hotel, an opulent hotel described as The Queen of Collins Avenue. The base is a carefully crafted blend of Santa Teresa 1796 Solera style aged rum, Caribbean pineapple liquor, giving it a fruity, crisp, and aromatic touch. At the heart of the cocktail is lush mango purée, adding a rich, golden layer of tropical sweetness. The mango's flavor brings vibrant depth and smooth texture, evoking warmth and brightness in every sip. A hint of cilantro adds an herbal note, while fresh lime juice provides a zesty finish to balance the sweetness,' says Joshua Rodriguez, Director of Nightlife at Faena Miami Beach. The Queen of Collins is a mouthwatering, mango-forward cocktail made with Santa Teresa 1796 Rum, mango purée, cinnamon, Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liquor and fresh-pressed lime juice.
Grilled Mango Salad
If mango salad is your jam, head over to Stiltsville Fish Bar in Sunset Harbour. Made with local mango, butter lettuce, sesame seed vinaigrette, radish, candied pecans, heirloom tomatoes & pickled onions. It is a light and refreshing take on the perfect summer salad. 'The Grilled Mango Salad has been on our menu since opening,' says Jeff McInnis, executive chef of Stiltsville. 'We cut the mango and lay it on the char grill with olive oil, salt and pepper. The smoke and char really changes the mango and gives it an earthy + savory flavor. We combine a sesame dressing with some sweet & spiced pecans.'
Located at Bal Harbour Shops, Makoto is known for its delicious sushi and great people watching. This season, the menu features a delicious mango dessert. The Toban Yaki combines passion fruit-white chocolate, almond cookie crumble and mango sorbet, creating a light and playful summer dessert. A perfect way to end your meal on a sweet note. 'We chose to use Mango as a main component of this dish because it adds a refreshing touch for the guest to enjoy while having the other parts of the dish, which are quite rich and strong in flavors,' says Daniel Garner, executive chef at Makoto. 'It is also a big part of Miami culture, as there are many mango trees throughout the city and when Mango season comes around, they are in abundance for all to share and enjoy.'
Dance the night away at Little Havana's Ball & Chain. Once you've worked up a sweat (or maybe you need a little liquid courage to get out on the dance floor), order a Call Me a Cooler. This bright, tropical cocktail is made with Absolut Mango vodka, vibrant passion fruit purée, fresh lime juice, and a touch of simple syrup, topped with crisp club soda. 'We use Absolut Mango vodka to infuse this cocktail with a clean, ripe mango essence that forms the fruity backbone of the drink,' says Darius Green, Director of Operations at Ball & Chain. 'Paired with passionfruit, lime, and a splash of Aperol, the mango adds a tropical roundness that ties everything together, making it ultra-refreshing and perfect for Miami's heat.'
Spice, Spice Baby
Rooftop cocktails are such a vibe in the summer and Level 6 is the perfect backdrop for them. For those who want to skip the actual alcohol, the Spice Spice Baby is a solid choice. Crafted with jalapeño-infused Seedlip, notas de agave, mango, pineapple, coconut, and lemon, it's a bold, non-alcoholic option bursting with vibrant, tropical summer flavors. Refreshing with a touch of heat, it's the perfect zero-proof sip. 'Anytime I think of making a tropical cocktail, mango is always a front-runner in my ingredient selection,' Derick Washington, Assistant General Manager at Level 6. 'It's such a versatile fruit with an amazing but subtle sweetness that can be used with any spirit. It goes perfectly in our Spice Spice Baby non-alcoholic beverage at Level 6 where it's a blend of mango, a touch of spice and smooth agave to create a non-alcoholic tropical paradise in a glass.'
El Dorado cocktail
While strolling Lincoln Drive, make your way up to Oro Miami Beach to order an El Dorado. This cocktail is a vibrant, subtly spiced margarita made with cocuy saroche, yellow bell pepper, aji amarillo, and mango. Inspired by the legend of the lost city of gold, it delivers layered notes of fruit and vegetal spice, with a tingling heat that lingers. Bold yet refreshing, it's a creative take on the classic margarita that captures the spirit of adventure. 'When introducing new flavors, I've always found it essential to anchor the unfamiliar with the familiar,' says Evan Lewis, head beverage manager at Oro Miami. 'In Miami, mango is more than just a fruit - it's a symbol of sun-soaked abundance. In the El Dorado, it brings both sweetness and nostalgia, grounding vibrant notes of bell pepper, aji amarillo, and our breezy base spirit in something that feels like home.'
Octopus Carpaccio
At Elia on the River the octopus carpaccio features tender slices of octopus paired with cherry tomato, mango, radish, and a vibrant citrus herb vinaigrette, making it a refreshing and flavorful choice for the summer season. 'At Elia we celebrate peak-season mango by slicing it fresh and folding it into our citrus herb vinaigrette, adding a tropical brightness to our Octopus Carpaccio,' Pete Valdez, says chef at Elia on the River. 'Paired with cherry tomatoes, radish, and tender octopus, the mango balances the dish with a touch of natural sweetness and vibrant acidity. It's a refreshing expression of coastal Italian flavors with a Miami twist.'
Mango season is a big deal at Michael's Genuine in Miami's Design District. "One of the reasons I love mango season is that it's so unique in the U.S. to South Florida. And as we come out of our proper growing season (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumbers etc) mango gives us this amazing opportunity to play,' says Michael Swchartz, owner/chef of Michael's Genuine. 'I'll often unload hundreds of pounds of fruit onto the MGFD team and challenge them to feature it in all sorts of ways. From sweets to savory preparations to cocktails, and canning and preserving to prolong the season." This year the menu features a few delicious menu items including wood toasted prawns brushed with a homemade mango habanero glaze served with a green mango salad, peanuts in a nước chấm sauce; a King Mackerel crudo topped with local mango, basil, coconut milk, chili oil and crispy rice; and a Market Special cocktail made with Quebranta pisco that's shaken with fresh mango, lemongrass, and fresh lime juice.
Arroz con Mango cocktail
For those who want to sip a little mango magic, Finka Table & Tap has the perfect cocktail for you. This juicy beverage is made with Haku Rice vodka, toasted rice syrup, mango purée, habanero tincture, fresh lime juice, rice lime zest foam, and mango rice powder. 'Our new Arroz Con Mango cocktail might surprise you. The name sets you up for something sweet, but it hits differently,' says Alex Aportela, the beverage director at Finka Table & Tap. 'You've got creamy mango, nutty toasted rice, a citrusy rice-lime foam, and a subtle kick of heat that catches you off guard. It's familiar, but with a twist that keeps you coming back.'
Over at Arcano, guests can enjoy a healthy quinoa dish that features fresh mango 'The Quinoa de los Andes is a vibrant celebration of flavor, color, and Latin American roots,' says Juan Diego Canahuati, owner of Arcano. 'From the heart of the Andes to the shores of the Caribbean, this dish brings together the rich diversity of Hispano-American ingredients in one nourishing and irresistible bowl. Served warm, it's both comforting and refreshing, perfectly balanced by the tropical brightness of mango and the depth of grilled shrimp in a house-made glaze." This dish is made with Andean Red Quinoa, Mushrooms, Bell Pepper, Pomegranate, Mango, and is topped with grilled shrimp. Wash it down with a Sabor y Sol cocktail made with pisco, spinach-cucumber-jalapeño shrub, mango purée, lime juice, and simple syrup. 'Our Sabor y Sol cocktail is sunshine in a glass – tropical mango, a hint of herbs, and a smooth finish that tastes like golden hour in Miami,' says Canahuati. 'Fresh mango pairs beautifully with our spinach-cucumber-jalapeño shrub, creating a vibrant, refreshing cocktail with a tropical twist and a touch of heat."
Mango Seltzer
Sip on a housemade mango seltzer at Brickell's Kaori. Made with Ketel One Citroen vodka, Mizu Lemongrass Shochu, Grand Marnier, mango, lemon verbena, lime zest, and Co2, it's a fun and refreshing way to celebrate mango season. 'This cocktail was inspired by the idea of elevating a classic mango seltzer, like a White Claw or Truly, into a gourmet version using real, high-quality ingredients,' says Diego Deleon, Beverage Director at Kaori. 'It's garnished with an olive, a playful nod to a cocktail I once tried by Shingo Gokan that combined mango and olive brine. Surprisingly, the pairing worked beautifully. The bright salinity of the olive followed by the mango's natural sweetness creates a unique and refreshing contrast. To make it service-friendly, we force-carbonate and bottle the cocktail in advance, so it's ready to pour and garnish during service.'

PNC Bank Announces $200 Million Fund To Build 2000 Affordable Housing Units Nationwide
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Beleaguered Americans struggling with high apartment rents are about to get a measure of relief from PNC Multifamily Capital, a division of PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC). The Pittsburgh-based regional bank recently announced the formation of a fund that will invest over $208 million to develop and renovate affordable multi-family rental housing throughout the country. Don't Miss: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — The fund, known as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Fund 98, and PNC will use investor capital to develop more than 2,000 units in 15 communities spread across 11 states. The states where the communities will be located include: Alabama California Hawaii Illinois Kentucky Minnesota Nevada Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Texas PNC said in a statement that Fund 98 will draw capital from numerous sources, including PNC, multiple insurance companies, and two investors who have not previously been involved with affordable housing. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development website describes its Low Income Housing Tax Credit program as "the most important resource for creating affordable housing in the United States today." The program was established as part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which allocates an annual $10.5 billion distribution to state and local housing authorities in the form of tax credits. State and local agencies use these tax credits to incentivize real estate developers, landlords, and property owners to operate and acquire affordable housing. Renters and low-income families have become increasingly vulnerable to the spikes in housing costs nationwide. Trending: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. . These spikes in housing costs are attributable to the rapid appreciation in property values. Rising property values are great for real estate investors, but they also bring the law of unintended consequences into play. Increased acquisition and construction costs mean developers can only make returns by focusing on the high-income segment of the market. That creates an imbalance of luxury development and puts low-income families at an increasing risk of homelessness. Almost every big city in the 11 states where PNC's 98 fund will operate is struggling with a lack of affordable housing. The state and local housing authorities employ the tax credit in several ways. Some developers build entire communities dedicated to affordable housing that rely exclusively on the tax credits. Other developers who operate in the luxury sector may also offer a designated number of affordable tax-credit units in exchange for construction approval. , 'The LIHTC Fund 98 closing illustrates PNC Multifamily Capital's continued and long standing commitment to financing new and improved affordable housing across the country,' Megan Ryan, senior vice president and manager of Tax Credit Equity Syndication for PNC Multifamily Capital, said in the statement. PNC is an established player in this sector. PNC Multifamily Capital currently manages 133,000 units that account for $15.5 billion worth of low-income housing tax credits. That experience can be an important asset in this heavily-regulated sector. PNC's newest fund will certainly not solve the housing affordability problem in the states where it will own and operate properties. However, a concentrated effort and continued commitment from the investment community could go a long way towards alleviating America's affordable housing crisis. In the meantime, there will be 2,000 fewer families in need of affordable housing, and that's certainly a plus.

Ramit Sethi says you need these 9 'money milestones' before 40 if you want to be rich — how many have you hit?
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Money mastery isn't always taught in school. In fact, only 11 U.S. states guaranteed students access to a personal finance course in high school before 2021, according to Next Gen Personal Finance — meaning, if you're an adult in the U.S., there's a good chance you were never taught how to manage your money. But Ramit Sethi's goal in life is to bridge that knowledge gap. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 4 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) No millions? No problem. With as little as $10, here's how you can access this $1B private real estate fund of diversified assets usually only available to major players 'Many people drift through their 20s and 30s hoping money just figures itself out,' Sethi said in a video posted to his Youtube channel in June. With his website, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, he created an empire built around clear, no-nonsense financial advice that anyone can put into practice today. If you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s or beyond, his 9 money milestones are worth considering. His first milestone is clearing all high-interest, meaning over 6%, debt. 'You cannot build a rich life while dragging credit card debt behind you — and you will be shocked at how fast your money grows once this anchor is gone,' Sethi says. Credit card debt is the worst kind of debt, according to Sethi. It creates compound interest in reverse, counteracting any of the benefits you would otherwise receive from investing. Clearing this debt before doing anything else with your cash should be your number one priority. The fastest path to understanding your debt is by creating a budget that tracks it all — credit card debt, student loans, mortgage, personal loans — alongside the APR, or the interest rate charged on your debt. Monarch Money can act as your personal finance concierge, connecting with over 11,200 financial institutions. This means you can have a top-down view of your bank accounts and investment portfolios. This can help you get a handle on your financial situation faster — then it's time to pay down your debt strategically. The two most common types of debt payment strategies are the avalanche and snowball methods. The avalanche technique starts with your largest, or highest interest, debt to create cascading relief once it's settled. The snowball method aims to knock off smaller debts first and build momentum over time. After your debts are under control you can use Monarch Money to start actively planning and tracking your financial goals. Want to build an emergency fund, save for a vacation or make a down payment on a home? Monarch Money can help you set these goals and track your progress. Another, more difficult, option is to consider if any of your assets can be sold off to pay down your debt. This is something of a last resort, but if you're drowning in debt identifying what you can cut could be an important step towards regaining your financial freedom. After your debt is cleared, the next milestone is creating an emergency fund. While many money influencers suggest three to six months so you can invest more of your money faster, Sethi believes six to 12 provides true psychological security. Building this extra layer of protection takes time, but is often worth the effort. 'Your goal is to build six to 12 months of core expenses in an emergency fund,' Sethi notes. 'That includes rent or mortgage payments, transportation, groceries — and put that money in a boring high-yield savings account.' His next milestone is all about ensuring you are investing regularly, without lifting a finger. Automating your finances means you don't have to do anything to invest — it happens automatically. This requires setting up automatic contributions with your banking and investing accounts, so a percentage of the money you earn is automatically invested every time your paycheck hits your account. 'The secret to getting rich is not about stock picks, it's not about crypto, it's definitely not day trading … it's boring, automated, consistent investing,' according to Sethi. He recommends investing at least 10% of your income into your 401k and/or Roth IRA every time you are paid. He also suggests increasing that auto-investment by 1% every year to supercharge your investment plan — meaning if you invest 7% of your pay this year, next year you would revisit your automatic investment plan and set it to 8%. The year after would be 9%, and so on. The best part? You don't need a lot of money to start saving for your long-term financial goals. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it Sethi notes that your income is your most powerful wealth building tool. Your career is where you earn money, and the more money you earn, the more you can invest. 'The majority of millionaires in America made it from having a nice stable salary and then investing their money in low cost investments,' he says. 'They didn't win an insurance settlement. They didn't pick a lottery ticket. 'They literally had a nine-to-five job and they took part of that money and invested. That's why it makes a lot of sense for you to pay attention to your career and build the skill of increasing your income.' Sethi's next milestone is all about finding and understanding the bank account balance you need to retire and achieve all the financial goals you want in life. 'What number in the bank is enough for you? Is it a million dollars in savings? Two million, five million? Okay, but why?' Sethi asks. 'Why do you want that number? Truly rich people know their number and they know their why.' Ask yourself what number will make you feel like you have enough to retire comfortably, retire early or go on that dream sabbatical. Knowing how much you need and why is the backbone of any strong financial plan. 'If you don't know what that money is for, then you are simply wasting your life chasing a number,' Sethi continues. If you're unsure of what that number should be, a financial advisor can help you get a better picture of your goals. You can quickly find the right financial advisor for you through Advisor, by answering a few questions. From here, you can book a call with no-obligation to hire to see if they're a good fit. If you are married, or considering marriage, this is crucial advice. Sethi notes that there should never be one person in the relationship who controls all the fiances — as that can be a breeding ground for resentment. A shared dashboard means you actively look at your money together, share financial goals and make long-term plans together. His advice isn't just about emotions. It's also practical. 'If you happen to get hit by a bus one day, you're going to leave your grieving family not even sure where the money is.' If one partner holds access to all the accounts, and that person is suddenly gone, this creates extra chaos for the partner left behind. With this in mind, Monarch Money also offers tools for couples to track your combined finances across multiple accounts. This can help you and your partner create a shared dashboard to manage your full financial picture. What don't you care about? Cut it out ruthlessly. 'This checkpoint is about clarity. It's about knowing what doesn't matter to you,' Sethi notes. 'Here's what you need to do: Write down three things you don't care about spending money on, then write three things you want to spend money on unapologetically.' This means actively looking at what you spend money on by tracking spending for a few months. Make sure your spending is aligned with the things you actually care about. 'Once you know what is not part of your rich life, then you can cut those things without guilt, and you can actually redirect that money to the things you love,' Sethi says. Tracking your spending could show that you're actually spending $120 a month on subscription services you haven't used in years, allowing you to make cuts and put your money toward something more meaningful. While you're tightening up your finances, it might be a good idea to look at other monthly expenses like insurance. A big part of this is shopping around for the best rates, but this can take a lot of time and energy. One option is to use to do the hard work for you. The platform lets you compare reputable providers like Geico and Progressive in minutes with offers as low as $29/month. For homeowners, you could instead look at to see if they beat the rates you're currently paying. On average, you can save $482 per year using side-by-side comparisons of providers in your area. From here, you could put the money you'll save each month toward investments instead. Keep in mind that, in most cases, you don't need to wait until your policy is up for renewal to make a switch. Sethi's next milestone is all about simplicity. It is easy to get caught up in financial optimization to the detriment of enjoying your life. An all-consuming obsession with getting the best deal possible, or carrying around a wallet full of credit cards that need a spreadsheet to keep track of the best cash back rates for each spending category, is not how you create a healthy relationship with money. 'Do you really want to spend the rest of your life optimizing a spreadsheet of cash back rewards?' Sethi asks. This takes up time you could better spend earning money, recharging by watching your favorite show or being with family. All that work to save an extra $50 a year isn't always a worthwhile use of time. Instead, he recommends keeping 'one to two solid rewards cards.' 'Cancel those junk cards, including those predatory f—ing credit cards with 30% plus APRs that you got from Gap and Kohl's to get $10 off a sub par pair of jeans,' he continues. 'And then monitor your interest rates like a hawk while you're paying off debt.' Finally, Sethi recommends using everything you learned from the other milestones to create a financial vision that you revisit yearly. What you think you want out of life in your 30s will not be the same as what you might want in your 40s or 50s. At the end of each year, update your plan to suit your current lifestyle and future goals — a recurring calendar event can help with this. Sethi recommends asking yourself the following questions during these check-ins: 'What do I want more of in this coming year? What doesn't matter to me anymore? What do I want less of? And finally, what's next?' For some, a big goal might include real estate investing to create generational wealth. But not everyone can afford a mortgage, or a big downpayment. Crowdfunding platforms like Arrived allow you to enter the real estate market for as little as $100, meaning even if you never want to own your own home, you can still benefit from investing in the market without the hassle of home ownership. Backed by world-class investors, including Jeff Bezos, Arrived helps you invest in shares of vacation and rental properties, earning passive income from real estate without the midnight maintenance calls about burst pipes. If you have at least $25,000 to invest, you could instead consider Homeshares, which offers exposure to hundreds of owner occupied properties around the U.S. Homeshares can help you access this market through their U.S. Home Equity Fund. The fund provides homeowners with substantial, property-based equity access to liquidity through Home Equity Agreements, without incurring debt or additional interest payments. This can translate into risk-adjusted target returns for investors ranging from 14% to 17%, while offering a low-maintenance alternative to traditional property ownership.

Why AstraZeneca Stock Got Thumped on Thursday
It might be gearing up to pay billions of dollars to participate in a drug program currently in development. Its would-be partner is an American biotech that has earned a lot of attention lately. 10 stocks we like better than AstraZeneca Plc › AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: AZN) might soon be on the hook for an eventual 11-figure payout, and investors weren't all that comfortable with this. A Bloomberg article published Thursday morning said that the company is pursuing what might end up being an expensive partnership with a biotech. A cautious market traded AstraZeneca stock down by more than 2% following the report, on a day when the S&P 500 index landed firmly in positive territory with a 0.8% gain. The article that dinged AstraZeneca was a Bloomberg piece asserting that the company is in discussions with Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT) on a formal partnership. The article, which cited unidentified "people familiar with the matter" as its sources, stated the two companies might collaborate on ivonescimab. This is a cancer drug licensed by Summit (from its developer, Akeso) for numerous jurisdictions outside of Akeso's native China, including North America and Europe. According to Bloomberg, AstraZeneca and Summit are currently working out the details of such an arrangement. The article's sources added that an upfront payment of several billion dollars could be involved in any deal; it did not get more specific. One figure mentioned was $15 billion, which is apparently a total in upfront monies and milestone payments Summit might eventually earn. AstraZeneca is a global healthcare incumbent that's large, sprawling, and well financed -- at the end of its latest reported quarter, the U.K.-headquartered company had more than 4 billion British pounds ($5.5 billion) in cash alone. Still, $15 billion is a huge amount, even when spread over the lifetime of an in-development drug's lifecycle. I wouldn't be overly concerned about this if I were an AstraZeneca shareholder. In fact, I'd be encouraged. There aren't a great many oncology development programs that have shown as much potential as ivonescimab, and if it ends up fulfilling its promise it could easily be a blockbuster drug. I think it might be smarter to be a buyer than a seller of AstraZeneca at the moment.
