The zebra-striped Wynwood Building is a magnet for sightseers, but until Miam (pronounced MEE-um) opened, the landmark offered visitors little more than a photo opportunity.

Diners bored by beef should head to this casually stylish neighborhood bistro, which specializes in simple yet elegant contemporary Argentine cuisine. Traditionalists can enjoy grilled steaks, sausages, sweetbreads, et cetera, but Novecento also serves internationally influenced chicken, fish, and even vegetarian dishes – plus a slew of imaginative salads. Those who want a hint of […]
This clean, bright 18-seat bistro looks out of place on this fast-food stretch of Washington Avenue. Almost everything at Otentic is slow: the cooking of food, the movement of workers, seemingly time itself.

And think of the décor as a Seville-style makeover of what was formerly Domo Japonese – a lovely, lofty space for dining. Many of the foods here are just like […]
Stephen Starr has a new Miami Beach eatery, Upland. The modus operandi is “to make guests feel like [the restaurant is] lucky to have them, not that they’re lucky to be here,” explains Upland’s top toque, Justin Smillie. Before linking arms with Starr to open the original Upland in Manhattan two years ago, Smillie earned […]
It’s a nondescript concrete block from the outside, but step within and you’ll be privy to a boisterous warehouse setting that encompasses a wine market, wine bar, and casual French bistro. No walls separate the three, so the ambiance is lofty and hip. There are hundreds of modestly priced wine bottles ($7 to $30); the […]
