The cold weather seems to be affecting business and it is now a concern for the Great Taste of the Grove happening this weekend.
People don't seem to like going out for lunch and especially dinner when it is cold.
One restaurant owner told me long ago that cold weather in Miami is not good for business and just the other night, one of the organizers of the Great Taste of the Grove told me that there was a concern about the temps being in the 50s all day Saturday and Sunday and then dropping to the 30s at night. According to the weather service, the high on Saturday will be 52 degrees and on Sunday 54.
They ordered a third large tent this year which was to shade people from the usually hot sun, now they may need to add heaters, which may not work under tents. But the real trick now is to get people to actually leave their houses to come to the event. I'll be there, I hope you will, too.
I remember a few years ago, it was very cold one Sunday for the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, yet people were out. The coffee and hot chocolate booth did the most business day, but people still came out, albeit all bundled up.
