Miami Spice Extended Courtesy Hurricane Irma

MIAMI, FL — If you feel cheated that Hurricane Irma cut into our Miami Spice time, take heart. A number of Miami area eateries have agreed to extend the most sizzling restaurant deals of the entire year through Halloween. Just tell the maître d' that Irma sent you.

Organizers announced the extension of the 16th annual Miami Spice on the Miami Spice website. About 200 restaurants have already signed up for the extension but the complete list will be available Oct. 1. on the website.

Since its inception in 2001, participating restaurants have now served up more than one million Miami Spice meals. (Sign up for our free Daily Newsletters and Breaking News Alerts for the Miami Patch.)
