A popular restaurant from Philadelphia is taking over this iconic Wynwood spot
A popular Philadelphia spot is now open in the former space of one of Wynwood's first restaurants.
Double Knot, the Japanese-inspired izakaya spot from chef and restaurateur Michael Schulson, is now open in the old Wynwood Kitchen & Bar spot on Northwest Second Avenue, right next to Wynwood Walls.
Schulson, who opened Double Knot Miami in collaboration with real estate developer Goldman Properties, opened the original restaurant in Philadelphia's Midtown Village neighborhood in 2016.
This isn't the first time Schulson has opened a spot in South Florida: He also opened the now-closed Monkitail at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood in 2017, which was also known for its Japanese izakaya-style cuisine.
Schulson, who learned to love the pub-style, small-plate joys of izakaya when he lived in Tokyo, said he has been eager to open a version of Double Knot in Miami.
'I've been waiting for the right time and place to bring Double Knot to Miami, and I've finally found it,' he said.
'We took the original inspiration, Japanese seaside meets Philadelphia grit, and reimagined it for this city. The design blends nautical elements with Wynwood's warehouse aesthetic and layers of tropical deco. The menu reflects that same energy: bold, vibrant, and rooted in our passion for Japanese cuisine.'
The menu highlights traditional izakaya cuisine, including robatayaki skewers (robatayaki refers to a method of cooking in which food is cooked at different speeds over hot charcoal). Sushi like big eye tuna rolls and toro nigiri are also available.
There are such main dishes as crispy Japanese fried chicken, black cod fried rice, A5 wagyu beef and kobe beef skewers and a creative homage to Double Knot's hometown, a cheesesteak bao bun served with provolone and cherry pepper relish.
You can eat at the eight-seat sushi bar or try anything on the main menu in the main dining room or the bar and lounge, which features a 13-seat marble bar.
The cocktail menu features specialty drinks like The Double Knot (bourbon, rye, vermouth, smoked cinnamon and and clove); The Splice Knot (shishito vodka, ginger-honey and lime) and The Alpine Knot (vodka, yuzu, honey, and shiso).
Double Knot
Where: 2550 NW Second Ave., Miami
Hours: 4-10 p.m. Sunday-Monday; 4-11 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; 4 p.m.-midnight Friday-Saturday

Shigeo Nagashima, Japanese baseball legend with ties to the Dodgers, dies at 89
Legendary Yomiuri Giants player and manager Shigeo Nagashima attends an event on Jan. 19, 2008, in Chiba, Japan. Nagashima has died at 89, his former team confirmed Tuesday. (Koichi Kamoshida / Getty Images) Former Yomiuri Giants player and manager Shigeo Nagashima, one of the biggest stars of Nippon Professional Baseball, died early Tuesday morning of pneumonia at a Tokyo hospital, his former team said in a statement. He was 89. Nagashima played third base for the Giants from 1958 to 1974. Along with fellow superstar first baseman Sadaharu Oh, Nagashima led the team to 11 Japan Series titles, including nine straight from 1965 to 1973. He retired with a .305 batting average, 2,471 hits, 1,522 RBIs and 444 home runs. Advertisement He was one of Japan's biggest celebrities, so much so that his 1965 marriage to Akiko Nishimura was nationally televised and was reportedly the country's most-watched program of the year. In 1975, Nagashima became the Giants' manager but was fired in 1980 after not leading the team to a Japan Series title. He returned as manager from 1993 to 2001, however, and led the Giants to championships in 1994 and 2000, with future MLB outfielder Hideki Matsui as his star player. Read more: John Brenkus, risk-taking host of 'Sport Science,' dies after battle with depression Current Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani took to Instagram on Tuesday to honor Nagashima. He posted three pictures of the two of them together, including two from the Dodgers' trip to Tokyo in February for two games against the Chicago Cubs. Advertisement 'May your soul rest in peace,' Ohtani wrote in Japanese. Nagashima could have become the first Japanese MLB player, and he could have done so as a member of the Dodgers. In the spring of 1961, the Yomiuri Giants visited Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Fla., to train and play exhibition games. Shigeo Nagashima stands between San Francisco Giants star Barry Bonds, left, and New York Mets manager Art Howe at an event in Tokyo on Nov. 7, 2002. (David Guttenfelder / Associated Press) Then-Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley is said to have been so impressed with Nagashima — who in the previous season had won the second of what would be six straight batting crowns in Nippon's Central League — that he offered to buy Nagashima's contract from Giants owner Matsutaro Shoriki. Shoriki turned O'Malley down, and pitcher Masanori Murakami ended up becoming the first Japanese MLB player when he debuted with the San Francisco Giants in 1965. Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck also attempted to purchase Nagashima's contract in 1968 but also was thwarted by Shoriki. Advertisement Nagashima maintained a close relationship with the Dodgers and the O'Malley family, particularly with Walter's son Peter, according to Walter O'Malley's website. The Dodgers posted a tribute to Nagashima on X, featuring a photo of the 1988 Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame inductee with legendary Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda. "The Dodgers mourn the passing of Shigeo Nagashima, Japan's 'Mr. Baseball,' who died Tuesday in Tokyo at age 89," the team wrote. "Nagashima became a legend for the Yomiuri Giants, who have enjoyed a longstanding relationship with the Dodgers from as far back as the 1960s. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and generations of fans." Advertisement Nagashima's wife, Akiko, died in 2007. They had four children, including oldest son Kazushige, a former professional baseball player who played for the Yomiuri Giants and Yakult Swallows in Japan, as well as 53 games for the Class A-Advanced Vero Beach Dodgers minor league affiliate in 1992.

Max Muncy's two homers make up for his error in Dodgers' win over Mets
Max Muncy watches his two-run home run in the first inning Tuesday. (Jayne Kamin-Oncea / Associated Press) Max Muncy's 2025 season has been nothing if not enigmatic. But lately, after a woeful opening month on both sides of the ball, the good (his bat) has been outweighing the bad (his glove). In the Dodgers' 6-5 win against the New York Mets on Tuesday, such a duality came into plain view. Advertisement In the first inning, Muncy punctuated a four-run ambush of Mets starter Tylor Megill with a two-run home run deep to right field. In the fifth, he committed a costly error at third base that fueled New York's go-ahead two-run rally. Yet, in the ninth, the veteran slugger capitalized upon his chance for redemption, clobbering his second long ball of the night to tie the score — and set up Freddie Freeman for a walk-off double (with a lot of help from Brandon Nimmo's poor outfield defense) in the bottom of the 10th. After an ice-cold opening month with the bat, Muncy has caught fire over his last 22 games, batting .314 with eight home runs (including six in the last seven games), 28 RBIs, 14 walks and only 10 strikeouts. His defense remains a glaring weak spot, exposed repeatedly in key situations during the Dodgers' slog through May and the opening days of June. Read more: Dodgers star Freddie Freeman's family appreciated kind gesture from slain Baldwin Park officer Advertisement But for now, his production at the plate is giving him a long leash to work through such issues. Without his offense Tuesday, the Dodgers likely would've lost their third straight game. When Muncy came up as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the ninth, the Dodgers hadn't scored since his first home run eight innings prior. Megill had found his footing, retiring 16 of his final 17 batters over a six-inning start. The Dodgers had wasted a golden opportunity to come back in the eighth, coming up empty even after getting the go-ahead runs on second and third base with no outs. Read more: Shigeo Nagashima, Japanese baseball legend with ties to the Dodgers, dies at 89 Advertisement Muncy, however, extended the game with one swing, connecting on an elevated fastball for a no-doubt missile that traveled 408 feet. He flipped his bat as he left the box. He rounded the bases with a steady, confident gait. An inning later, after Tanner Scott broke out of his recent struggles by holding the Mets scoreless in the top of the 10th, Freeman walked it off on a fly ball that Nimmo let fall at the warning track in left, getting all turned around as the ball came barreling toward the earth to let automatic runner Tommy Edman score with ease.
