Great Gables Events - weekend of October 19

Greetings,

Holidays are just around the corner, but my personal calendar always has a star on the date of October 15 — the beginning of Stone Crab Season. Among other fine dining venues, Christy’s is a dependable place to find this fresh South Florida delicacy in Coral Gables.

The Old Man & the Gun at Gables Cinema
