Since 2008, Bruno Ponce has been quietly making fresh mozzarella out of a nondescript North Miami building mostly filled with walk-in refrigerators and stainless-steel work tables. The milk comes from Wisconsin cows and is processed into curd in New Jersey before it’s sent south. Ponce is an Argentine whose grandfather emigrated from Bari, on Italy’s […]
At North Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Art, they’re nothing if not noticable. This museum’s no shrinking violet on Miami’s art scene. They offer educational programs for kiddos, junior docent opportunities, symposiums, jazz concerts, festivals and other boons for the community at large — in addition to showcasing provocative and inspiring exhibitions from rising artists – […]
George Wilensky started the New Deal Market in 1957. These days, his son Heshey runs it, which makes it – to our knowledge – the only butcher shop in South Florida that has operated under the same ownership and in the same location for more than 50 years. The formula hasn’t changed much through the […]
With a name like New York’s Big Apple Deli, this is an outpost obviously designed to entice all the New York natives who fled for South Florida. And their offerings are about as enticing as you’d imagine – black and white cookies; doughy, delicious bagels; lox and nova; corned beef hash; Matzo ball soup – […]

For the early birds, the tequila worm is ready and waiting to be caught at The Nightcap Lounge. This North Miami bar opens at 7 a.m., so you can grab a Bloody Mary or a screwdriver for breakfast. Screw cereal, booze does a body good. A favorite for bikers passing through town, the outpost is […]
At most Thai restaurants with tacked-on sushi bars, the sushi tastes like the commercially motivated afterthought it is. Here, the sushi is extraordinary. None of the fish is frozen, and the dedicated chef/owner makes two trips daily to nearby marinas for the freshest local catches. Even the simplest and most traditional sushi and sashimi are, […]
Panera is nothing like Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell, or any of those old-style chains that are ever-so-slowly sliding into obsolescence. This national bakery shares more in common with corporate cafés such as Starbucks and Einstein Bros., but with a whole lot more than just coffee and bagels. Like, for breakfast, a spinach and bacon […]
Panya’s main room seats about 50, its mustard-color walls simply decorated with tasteful Asian ornaments and prints. Silky Thai fabrics topped with glass adorn the tables, and a mostly Asian clientele occupies the chairs, which is generally a good sign. It’s not a surprising one, though, when the cuisine is as fresh, flavorful, and authentic […]

Reasonable prices, authentic light French café fare, a chic rustic atmosphere, and, above all, baked goods made with traditional artisan methods make this first outpost of a French chain worth a special drive. Pastries, especially the flaky-crusted buttery fruit tarts and chewy buttercream-filled macaroon sandwich cookies, are delectable, but Paul’s heart is its breads, made […]
Petit Rouge’s notable fare includes a panko-crusted plank of ris de veau in lemon-caper sauce; frisee, radicchio, and baby arugula leaves with nubs of bacon and a poached egg perched on top; and French onion soup, the standard bearer for any bistro, bolstered by a bold beefy base and darkly bronzed cap of Gruyare. One […]
Tucked out of sight in a rear corner of this small Asian grocery store is a hidden gem: a glassed-in take-out counter that looks like a miniature version of one of the rotisserie windows you’d expect to find on New York’s Mott Street. And the housemade Chinese barbecue within – hanging ducks, strips of pork, […]
At Point Lounge and Package Store, on any given night, you might see a fight. Or a few. You’ll run into drunken sailors, sideshow rejects, cage fighters. You might hear things that will traumatize you. At this North Miami Beach mainstay, anything is possible. Expect a generous pour, some old school music selections, and a […]
Emphasizes drilling, doubles play, and strategy.

This quaint, burger-bistro-looking joint serves steaks, burgers, and seafood fresh off the grill at affordable prices. The wine list is stocked with bargains too. Toss in extremely friendly service and you have all the makings of a good neighborhood restaurant, which is just what Scorch is. “Scorch steak,” a shorter, thicker type of skirt cut, […]
Shing Wang signals the arrival of Miami’s first all-vegetarian Chinese restaurant and one of its few purveyors of Taiwanese shaved ice and bubble tea. The latter is a milkshake-like beverage made from powdered milk, sugar, tea, and choice of main flavoring ingredient (mango, taro, etc.); viscous pearls of black tapioca pile up in the bottom […]
