An American pizza enthusiast might be dismayed in Naples, the Italian city widely accepted as the pie’s birthplace. There, diners don’t debate whether to fold or not to fold.

Comin’ straight outta Cali, a boba milk tea was my slurping situation. Arriving in Miami, and subsequent New York trips, it became clear that those balls in liquid were now referred to as bubble tea. The great East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry of the 90s was now reemerged with…
Lunch is a dicey time of day. While Subway and Pollo Tropical are easy and accessible, most of us have higher aspirations than antibiotic pumped-chicken breast and questionable lunch meats.

The afternoon crescendos suddenly. Just as the rose-petal-infused Plymouth gin shaken with lemon juice and sweet pear purée takes hold, singer-songwriter Rachel Goodrich appears brandishing a kazoo and a ukulele.

They’re green and they serve breakfast. Or at least that’s how Green Eggs Cafe (18729 Biscayne Blvd.) started out. The Philadelphia-based restaurant kicked off the New Year by opening its first out-of-state location in Aventura and has already experienced some success. The full-service eatery prides itself on being environmentally friendly, buying only…

T’licious Cakes has just brought a bit of Southern hospitality to the Biscayne Corridor. The little shop, which just opened at 7648 Biscayne Blvd., is a confection in itself. Decorated in white and purple stripes, it looks like it should be hosting a group of ladies in pastel hats, converging…
Even if you’ve never been to Seaspice (formerly Sea Salt & Pepper), you’ve surely heard of the riverfront eatery that’s fed the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio, Bae and Jay, and any other celebs passing by the Magic City. And while Seaspice isn’t for everybody, it’s worth noting that you shouldn’t…

Piripi has been officially open for almost two weeks. And Short Order has discovered the San Sebastian-inspired eatery, helmed by the town’s best female toque, is spot on.
