Welcome to Tuesday, Miami.

We hope you enjoyed yesterday’s guest piece by Miami Food Pug. Besides bearing the latest installment of The New Tropic’s tastiest takeover, yesterday also marked the beginning of early voting in Florida.

Miami Food Pug here — welcome to Monday!

First, a quick reintroduction: In case you missed our announcement a few weeks back, Miami Food Pug is now taking over The New Tropic and gracing your inbox every other Monday. So rather than ending your week with us, we’ll be helping you start it.

The format’s also a bit different: Going forward, expect a Q&A in every installment. You’ll get to know us a little better while still getting the lates

Welcome to Friday, folks.

Times are hard right now. Sadly, that seems to be more and more of a statement that requires little in the way of additional explanation these days: One would be very hard-pressed to find a person or line of work that’s been left untouched by the COVID-19 crisis and our country’s failure to protect our most vulnerable.

Welcome to Monday and to Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The New Tropic and I have switched things up: I’ve moved to your inbox every other week, and will now be swinging by on Mondays.

Fear not, for it’s Friday.

Well, that was certainly a week in a year just brimming with charming, memorable moments wasn’t it? It had its highs, its lows, its last-minute fly-prompted memes, and like all great stories, even its triumphs.

But like all weeks, it’s come to an end, and as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, The New Tropic is here to see you off into the weekend.

Welcome to Thursday.

Hope you’ve been enjoying this week’s lovely weather, or at least gotten a kick from these winds — it really doesn’t get much better than the simple things, and every day spent in Miami not worrying about a hurricane or being completely drenched in sweat is worth celebrating.
