Ni.Do. Mozzarella Bar opened quietly in MiMo last month — no press release, no big party. It’s just a quiet little café, buried in one of the area’s gentrified strip malls, that happens to make its own mozzarella. It’s a pretty space, offering a comfortable spot to rest for a…
Greco Boys Grill is a new and shiny Greek gyro/souvlaki place on Alton Road at 17th Street in South Beach — something the area was sorely in need of. Obligatory blue-hued murals of the Greek islands line the walls above beige wainscot, the floors are set in cobblestoned brick for…

This collaboration among…

Sometimes the Publix Bakery just doesn’t cut it. Jeffrey Loria, owner of the Miami Marlins, commissioned an opening day cake to celebrate the April 4 inaugural game (in which they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, by the way). About a month ago, Loria placed a phone call to the…

“You’re a vegan?””Uh huh.””Oh. So where do you get your protein?”Every vegan who’s been at plant-eating for any length of time has been faced with this question.

During many of my workouts at CrossFit Miami Beach, I’ve noticed Nick Valencia, a tanned and shredded little guy, smiling, sweating, and tearing up the black rubber floor with his aggressive approach to the W.O.D. (CrossFit speak for “workout of the day”). Until a mutual friend tipped me off this…
