This 'Top Chef' alum is opening an Indian rum bar and restaurant in Miami this summer
Summer is heating up in Miami, and your list of must-visit new restaurants just got longer: Las' Lap Miami, helmed by award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi, is scheduled to open in The Daydrift hotel in South Beach on June 10—and we are already salivating. This will be the West Indian restaurant and rum bar's second location in the U.S. The first one debuted in New York City back in 2018 and still stands strong. There will be plenty of vibes to choose from at Las' Lap Miami. Picture yourself sipping something tropical on a velvet banquette in a moody, plum-colored room accented with botanical wallpaper? There's an area that looks just like that. Prefer the outdoors? Head to the patio to watch the boats pass on the canal or get the evening going on the rooftop jungle bar. Onwuachi will oversee the menu, putting a West Indian spin on the Las' Lap format. "It's been a successful formula in New York, and Miami feels like the natural next step," Onwuachi told the Miami New Times. "With my grandfather being from Trinidad, this partnership felt like the perfect way to contribute to Las' Lap's story and be part of Miami's already dynamic culture." Las' Lap Miami is the latest project for the celebrated chef who shows no signs of slowing down. In April alone, Onwuachi was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2025 by Time and his eatery Dōgon in Washington, D.C. appeared on Condé Nast Traveler 's 2025 Hot List as one of the world's best new restaurants. After competing on Top Chef season 13 in California back in 2015, Onwuachi served as a guest judge on the show. In 2019, he was named the James Beard Rising Star Chef of the year. In addition to Dōgon's recent accolade, his restaurant Tatiana was named New York City's top restaurant by New York Times in 2024. Onwuachi also found the time to write a cookbook, My America, and a memoir that is set to be adapted into a movie, Notes from a Young Black Chef. Did we mention that he serves as the executive producer for Food & Wine?

250 years in the making: USPS stamps honor America's military branches
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has released a new series of stamps honoring the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The three individual 'Forever' stamp panes pay tribute to each branch, all of which have roots in the Revolutionary War. In 1775, following the start of the Revolutionary War, the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army on June 14, the Continental Navy on Oct. 13 and the Continental Marines on Nov. 10. These foundational acts mark the origins of today's military branches. 'These stamps honor the enduring legacy and unwavering commitment of the men and women who have served and continue to serve,' the USPS said in its statement. 'Each branch plays a crucial role in safeguarding American interests, standing as symbols of strength and resilience, upholding core values such as loyalty, duty, honor and courage.' Each stamp pane was designed by USPS Art Director Antonio Alcalá. And they can be purchased for $14.60 through the Postal Store.
