Fairbanks and Miami aren’t exactly sister cities. One is cold; one is hot. One is north; one is south. But coffee is the universal unifier – hence the popularity of Alaska Coffee Roasting Co. This Biscayne Boulevard coffee shop and café serves house-roasted beverages, along with sandwiches, pizzas, baked foods, soups, and all kinds of […]

Area Code 55 Brazilian Steakhouse is a carnivore’s wet dream. You name the meat, they’ve got it, stabbed on a skewer and awaiting your rumbling tummy. That said, this North Miami meatery is probably not the place to take your herbivorous girlfriend. But if vegetarians do want to try their hand at the meat factory, […]
This North Miami recording outpost is nothing short of legendary. Walls lined with platinum and gold records point to an incredible past. The joint is run by industry heavyweights Ron and Howard Albert, along with TK Records alum Steve Alaimo. Between them, the trio has worked with the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, […]
Locals love to bemoan the lack of decent bagels in Miami. “New York has the best ones,” they whine. “It’s all about the water.” Well, forget about moving back to Manhattan (or Queens or Brooklyn or Staten Island). Try Bagel Bar East, which is one of the few places in Miami that still hand-rolls, boils, […]
Like the Constitution, the Incredible Hulk, and a baseball pitcher working a no-hitter, there are some things you just shouldn’t mess with. Old-school bagel-making should have a place on that list, yet the world is bafflingly full of frozen, bagged holes of dough stomping all over the good name of this traditional Jewish delicacy. Fortunately, […]
Be sure to ask for the small “Chinese” menu – it yields authentic goodies such as kung pao frogs’ legs. Steamed salmon fillet and Maine lobster – plus dishes such as stir-fried rice noodles stocked with seafood such as shrimp, scallops, squid, and lobster – are big enough for four to share, as is the […]

Make sure to ask for the small “Chinese” menu — it yields authentic goodies like kung pao frog’s legs. Steamed whole flounders and Maine lobsters — not to mention dishes like stir-fried rice noodles with seafood, stocked with shrimp, scallops, squid, and lobster — are big enough for four to share, as is the terrific […]
Big Slick’s is a big deli that serves 16 types of sandwiches – “small blinds,” $5.95 to $6.95; “big blinds,” $7.95 to $8.95. The menu is playing-card-themed, so honey-maple turkey, melted Swiss, and Russian dressing is “3 of a Kind”; grilled chicken, bacon, provolone, and pickles becomes “Two Pair.” Besides the aforementioned chicken chop salad, […]
You say you want your cheap drinks with a side of ribs? Come on down to Billy’s Pub Too, friend. An average bar might have a two-hour window of discounts known as “Happy Hour,” but Billy’s has its time frame stretched to a full workday. That’s correct; it runs an eight-hour Happy Hour from 4 […]
The strength of this Mex café is the mom-and-pop appeal. Begin with a complimentary basket of crisp yellow corn chips and zesty tomato salsa (a small dish of smooth, mellow guacamole is worth the two-dollar surcharge). A recommended starter is salbutes: small rounds of thick, fried tortillas topped with shredded chicken and a small dice […]

David Garcia (La Camaronera Seafood Joint) now owns this iconic North Miami seafood spot, which dates back to the 1990s. This heir to Miami seafood royalty kept the menu mostly unchanged, allowing Captain Jim’s to do what it does best: serve the freshest fish possible. Favorites include stone crab claws (in season) and a beautiful […]
