St John Spice extends through October
St John Spice, the annual culinary promotion that offers three-course prix fixe meals, has been extended to the end of October 2020. This year, the annual program, led by the Greater St John Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), kicked off two months earlier, on June 1st, as part of a larger initiative called St John Shines to help local facilities get some of their business back after the dining rooms of the coronavirus pandemic restaurant closed in March. The program, which offers three-course lunch / brunch ($ 25) and / or dinner ($ 39), typically attracts hundreds of St John restaurants. Despite the waiver of fees and the approval of restaurants that are not members of the GMCVB, the number of participating restaurants was significantly lower this year. Until October 31; miamiandbeaches.com.
