The Only Theater In Miami Where You Can Watch “Twisters” In 4DX. And if you haven’t experienced the immersive thrill for yourself, don’t fret! The film is returning to 4DX for one week only, starting August 30. And it won’t be the only disaster film on the bill — 1996’s “Twister” is getting the same treatment, making for an epic double feature! What is 4DX? Unlike your average theater experience, 4DX practically puts you in the film with the help of special effects. You’ll sit in a motion-enabled seat that will move you along with every twist (see what we did there) and turn on the screen. And when a tornado comes into frame, you’ll be met with wind, rain, fog and scents perfectly synced with the film. Basically, you’ll be storm chasing alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell!

JAGUAR SUN Downtown Jaguar Sun is probably our favorite place in Miami. Some may say it’s a cocktail bar, others, a restaurant with an awesome pasta selection. We’d like to think of it as a combination of both. And there’s something about the vibe that makes you want to chat with the person next to you. Our favorite dishes include the Hokkaido Scallop, the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with the most delish charred leek aioli, Agnolotti with blue crab, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Make sure to ask if there are any new dishes or off-menu items, sometimes they’ll have something to share with you. Leave room for a Wolf Whistle, their version of a tequila espresso martini paired with dessert.
