The event will take place the first Friday of every month from November through March 2011 and will allow pedestrians to stroll freely Restaurant Row under the stars. From the local dinner crowd looking to walk to their favorite neighborhood restaurant to the traveling gourmand seeking a new scene, Restaurant Row in Downtown Coral Gables has something for every palate.

Ten Downtown Coral Gables restaurants and bars will extend their dining rooms onto the street in a celebration of the event’s culinary options. The 100 block of Giralda Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic so that Giralda Under the Stars’ participating restaurants and bars may fill the street with tables and chairs as well as live music and entertainers.

To highlight this year’s kickoff celebration, La Dorada will be hosting Gaiteros Espanoles who will be showcasing a Celtic music and dance performance.

Locals and foodies alike can enjoy Vietnamese, Spanish, Italian and Mexican cuisines among other ethnic and eclectic culinary options. Participating restaurants and bars include: Bangkok Bangkok II, Castelluccio Ristorante, La Dorada, Las Vegas Restaurant, Miss Saigon Bistro, The Bar, Talavera, Spris Restaurant, Il Grissino and The Local.
