For those of us that simply cannot wait for the reopening of Michy’s, take comfort. Chef Michelle Bernstein’s flagship restaurant will pop-up at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden in time for Art Basel for a very limited run. Chef Bernstein’s Michy’s pops up from December 3-6 from 6 to 11…
If you’re not into meat, butter, or cheese, a Thanksgiving table can be tough to navigate. The Brussels sprouts are cooked in bacon; the mashed potatoes are loaded with butter; the turkey is, well, a turkey. But for the plant-based eaters, Short Order has dug up some options for yummy,…
Cafe Babbo, a new Italian cafe and wine bar, is set to open in the next few weeks — right in Wynwood. The cafe, located at 97 NW 25th Street, is the brainchild of partners Antonio Chia and Alessandro Pazzaglia, childhood friends who have a combined passion for both good,…
If it weren”t for the blinding sun outside, it would be difficult to tell whether it’s lunch on Tuesday or dinner on Friday night inside El Rinconcito de Santa B�rbara. Nevertheless, people are lined up for a table outside the darkened windows of this Hialeah Gardens Puerto Rican spot. Inside,…
Village of Merrick Park Shoppers getting an early start to their holiday shopping can enjoy an authentic French lunch today when Brasserie Central soft opens. The restaurant’s official opening date is this Friday, November 21, but hungry diners eager for a taste can come in all this week for a…

If there’s something we learned at Jeremiah Bullfrogs P.I.G. 5 is that chefs love to cook pork. They also love those who like to eat pork, which was the case with the 250-plus swine aficionados who congregated at Brisky Gallery in Wynwood Sunday for an afternoon of pig eating, beer…
Did you have a good weekend? Whether you were getting lucky at Lucky Rice, chowing down on Thanksgiving dishes at Top Turkey, or tailgating at the UM vs. FSU game, one thing is for sure: you did a whole lot of eating and drinking. To wind down, you might want…
Rejoice, South Beach. David’s Caf� is coming back. In April, the decades-old Cuban institution on Collins Avenue was shuttered because the surrounding construction hurt business, owners said. The closing followed the 2012 darkening of the Lincoln Road location (due to exorbitant rent), a caffeine-and-grease-laced hideaway for locals and tourists alike…
If you’ve been to Swine since it’s opening in March 2013, you know the Coral Gables eatery is fond of hog. But a year and a half in, the restaurant has decided to adjust to the demanding palates of the surrounding community, deviating from pork-centric and heavy dishes and coming…
Wynwood is smoking hot these days, with designers, construction crews, and artists scrambling to finish off on projects in time for Art Basel madness.

Floridians love Publix: the friendly staff, the bakery, the subs (seriously, the subs). To many of us, the grocery chain is one of the greatest things to have ever been exported from the state. The store “Where shopping is a pleasure,” however, is not such a pleasure to supply. For…
Miami is really gearing up for the upcoming season’s worth of parties. To keep up with all the festivals and events, we suggest easing into the weekend with a casual happy hour on Friday (and we just happen to have discovered two new, fabulous ones). Then, on Saturday, partake in…
Rick Grand might just have the best job in Miami. As general manager of E11even, the dapper gentleman works alongside some of the most beautiful women in the world. Of course, there’s more to being a general manager of a mega-club that never sleeps. You have to be a master…
Moonchine Asian Bistro, the MiMo restaurant that’s long been a staple with locals seeking a good bowl of pho, is up for sale. The 100-seat restaurant, named “Best Restaurant on the Upper Eastside” by Miami New Times, opened in 2007, back when the Biscayne corridor was little more than a…
Thanksgiving is a holiday that’s all about expanding belts and big portions. From the stuffing to the gravy to the mashed potatoes, it’s all about the rich and filling. Greens are usually nowhere to be found — other than buried in a casserole. But salad makes an excellent (and underrated)…
Pork is good. If you’re nodding your head right now and beginning to salivate at the mere thought or the tender and succulent meat, then you’ll want to make your way to Brisky Gallery in Wynwood this Sunday for a different kind of artistic exhibition — one that puts pig…
It’s difficult to believe, but the holidays are almost upon us. This is the time of year to get nostalgic about some of the restaurants we’ve loved and lost. Some of them had been around since we were kids, some came and went like a flash of lightning, but all…
This Friday, the Redbury Hotel South Beach will open the doors to Cleo, a Mediterranean eatery with an emphasis on small shared plates. Cleo is taking over the space formerly occupied by the Italian restaurant Lorenzo, which closed after less than a year in business. Expect a raw bar, a…
