What’s even more shocking is just how tasty and affordably priced the […]
Jefe’s Original Fish Taco & Burgers is nothing new to Miami. The yellow-and-orange surfer-themed truck that features “vatos making tacos” has been on the scene since 2010. The truck is still rolling, but it now has a brick-and-mortar eatery in North Miami. Owner Jack Garabedian has expanded on his food truck’s offerings with grilled sandwiches […]

If you’re into racquet sports of any kind, no need to join a snotty tennis club for easy court access. The Judge Arthur I. Snyder Tennis Center in North Miami Beach has ample digs for tennis, paddleball and racquet ball. To be specific, there are 12 clay courts, 6 hard courts, 4 racquetball courts and […]
Painted on the window of this nondescript highway-side restaurant is its specialty: “Chinese B-B-Q.” And sure enough, hanging inside the door are bright red-dyed whole roast ducks (beaks and all) and the rest of the rotisserie items one would expect to find in any major U.S. city’s Chinatown. But the real news is: There are […]
It’s been decades since Sam Konata dished out his first vegetarian meal. These days at his small place, he serves as many fist bumps as he does sweet, sticky slices of vegan banana bread. His menu, like several others in the area, is rooted in the Rastafari religion that blossomed in Jamaica in the 1930s. […]

Admit it – every time you watch a Kung Fu flick you ache with jealousy. If only you could roundhouse kick, wield butterfly knives and master the dragon claw, life would be so much more awesome. Well, at North Miami’s Kung Fu Connection, you can do all of the above. Si Fu Gus Rubio teaches […]
With an eerie ambiance of dark yellow lights and red carpet, La Paloma reminds me of that bar in The Shining, where the bartender is actually a ghost. Try the White Russian.
North Miami might not be where most people look for Cuban fare, but that’s where you’ll find the family-owned Little Havana Restaurant. Despite the somewhat boring decor reminiscent of a banquet hall, this casual eatery is lively and bustling with activity during peak hours at lunch and dinner. The large menu offers reasonably priced Cuban […]
Lost City Brewing, which opened in the summer of 2020 amid the pandemic, feels like a rare find amid Miami’s burgeoning beer landscape. The taproom is located in a warehouse complex, which suits its industrial setting. Inside, you’ll find a small bar and a comfortable lounge with leather sofas. The beers are straightforward and well-crafted […]

This is an authentic Italian-American joint, and that’s a good thing. Take Mama Jennie’s spaghetti and meatballs, please! The meatballs are a masterpiece. Tip to big eaters: Mama’s meat sauce is even more concentrated than that on the spaghetti and meatballs – and spaghetti with meat sauce is all you can eat. Those not in […]

This is a classic New York-style pizza joint. There’s no decor aside from the requisite cheese and pepperoni art prints and a flashing neon “open” sign. Hurried servers juggle multiple slices as busy downtown workers expend their half-hour lunch breaks on cheap grub. The first Mario’s opened in 1969, and many branches have followed, with […]
The sweet smell of cakes a-bakin’ tickles your nose way before you step into Mary Ann Bakery, and you’d have to be subhuman to resist the urge to walk into this unassuming little spot tucked away on 163rd Street. The front window is filled with birthday and bridal cakes, and although they look (and probably […]
