Hello: Is it Tuesday’s edition of The New Tropic you’re looking for?

A lot has happened since we last spoke: Some of it good, some of it bad, all of it as insane as the rest of 2020 has been. As always we’re keeping things local today, but (for the most part!) we’re going to be focusing on the good. Each day is filled with some new mind-bending weirdness — there

Welcome to this Monday’s edition of The New Tropic.

If you think your newsletter looks a little different today, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: Geoffrey and Diane of Miami Food Pug here, and we’re doing our New Tropic takeovers every other Monday rather than every other Friday. So instead of ending your week with our latest updates on Miami’s food scene, you’ll be kicking things off with them!

Welcome to Friday and the second day of October. 

Today we’re doubling on our goal of sharing more original reporting with you right here in this newsletter. First up, dig into our voter guide. And then, as a palate-cleanser, dive headfirst into our latest Miami music round-up.

“Hey, did you hear something?

“What? No! Now c’mon, we’re almost at Old Man Johnson’s abandoned Miami Beach penthouse.”

No Tuesday is complete without a dispatch from your favorite Miami community newsletter: It’s time for today’s edition of The New Tropic.

Happy Friday y’all.

We’re gonna kick the weekend off with some exciting personal news: Starting next week, we’re switching things up a bit at The New Tropic. You’ll see us focusing more on our original reporting about the things that make Miami tick (think: local history, business spotlights, food, election guides, and locals-to-know profiles). In other words, taking the things we do best, but only more of it 💪.

And because a community newslette

Welcome to Thursday.

Well, it’s certainly been one of those weeks in a year chock full of them, hasn’t it? Odds are you’re probably very, very tired. It’s OK and perfectly understandable — we are too.

Hey there New Tropic Family: It’s your Hy-Lo News newsletter takeover for this Wednesday.

No, your broken perception of time didn’t deceive you, and the hours did actually pass during yesterday’s unrelenting rainfall: Welcome to Tuesday, Miami.
