Miami Yelpers Say “comeonshakeyourbodybabydothatconga!”

Astrologists, researchers, mystical modernists and observers of the twinkling night sky have all waxed lyrical about the lunar effects that befall modest mortals on the night of a full moon. As yelpers can attest, the energy cast down from the milky universe above was certainly palpable during Monday night's Yelp Elite Event at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar. The cosmic dance confettied the 200 yelpers with the will to celebrate well past the 9 o'clock hour. 

Wynwood Kitchen & Bar offered up private use of their outdoor space and the adjacent Wynwood Walls provided an endless smattering of awe-inspring murals. Between the sweet street art and temperate weather, elites mingled with What Reality, a Ft. Lauderdale-based event silk-screening company. The fine fellows who manned the hip, 5-pronged silky setup, inked basic tees with one-of-a-kind graphics. One even exclusively made for Yelp Miami (a two-headed flamingo with a Yelp burst for a necklace!). Meanwhile, Etienne Class offered up his interpretation of the music being played with live painting on canvas.

Keeping the party in 5-star fashion, Wynwood Kitchen's new executive chef, Miguel Aguilar, prepared only the finest in endless hors d'oeuvres. Sergio F gave the event “10 Stars" for preparing a "carnivore's culinary dream! Chimichurri-seasoned steak kebabs, spicy chicken kebabs with notes of sweetness, Ropa Vieja empanadas and queso frito with bacon alongside bacon-wrapped dates." Holy yum! Amber E can't stress it enough: “the food was THE. BOMB. and the amazing, friendly and attentive staff helped to make the experience all the more memorable."

Perhaps the most unpredicted treat was the 60+ person conga line that formed when MiamiDJs4u queued the Miami queen's timeless hit, Conga. The urge to shake your money-maker at Monday night's party was as rousing as being a tween at a Justin Beiber concert. The masses just couldn't resist the dancefloor and MiamiDJs4u gave them no excuse. But don't just take my word, read the Yelp reviews for this electrifying event and peep the awesome photos taken by Photobokeh!

Until Next Time!
