Little River neighborhood has new community hub

Miami’s Little River neighborhood has welcomed a new community destination hub built on togetherness and connection called The Triangle.

Designed to be a relaxed, open-air gathering place where kids can play, parents can unwind, and neighbors, friends, and creatives can come together, The Triangle at 200 NE 62nd St. introduces evenings filled with music, lawn games, an arcade for little and big kids, relaxed social gatherings, and experiences designed to bring people together effortlessly, said Lyly Loor Villanueva, the neighborhood hub’s co-founder.

“Miami has such a vibrant creative community, and The Triangle is our way of giving that energy a home,” she added. “We wanted a space where adults and parents can show up, feel seen, feel comfortable, and connect with people who move through the world the way they do, with their kids. It’s a place rooted in culture, built for locals by locals, and shaped by the city we love.”

The vision comes from three Miami innovators: Ms. Loor Villanueva, a creative strategist and executive producer, has shaped influential cultural initiatives across the United States and Latin America; Javi Zayas, the creator of SWARM, who has spent more than a decade producing large-scale festivals and neighborhood events that helped define Miami’s cultural rhythm; and Elad Zvi, who is the driving force behind Miami’s craft cocktail evolution Broken Shaker.

Together, the three bring decades of experience in events, hospitality, storytelling, and community programming to Little River, creating a destination designed to feel inclusive and centered around locals, added Mr. Zayas.

“The Triangle was built for the locals, for the friends, the families, the young parents, the creatives, the kids running around the yard,” he said. “We wanted a space with affordable prices where the community can come together, breathe, and just be. A place that feels like the old, real Miami we all miss and still love.”

The open-air space features a full-service bar, and food will be available throughout the venue, offering a mix of tacos, pizza, seafood, and handheld dishes.

“After years of opening bars and helping create cocktail lists, I wanted to do something that felt simple, grounded, and true to Miami,” Mr. Zvi said. “The Triangle is that place, no ego, no attitude, just great music, good people, and prices that make sense.”
