Miami-Dade - Beaches in Miami New Times
Showing 463 - 484 of 947Inside the Betsy Hotel, LT Steak & Seafood boasts a considerable wow factor before the first course even arrives. Appetizers comprise mostly cold dishes, including shrimp cocktail, tuna tartare, and raw bar selections such as clams, oysters, and stone crabs. Even the sole warm offering – a moist, lusciously herbed crab cake – comes pooled […]
At first sight, Lucali, the Miami outpost of Mark Iacono’s famed Brooklyn flagship, looks like a regular pizza joint. Furnishings are unassuming – mismatched tables and chairs, an open kitchen, a working bench manned by T-shirted pizzaiolos – but by candlelight, everything glows. Men in white shine with sweat as they use empty wine bottles […]
“Lula” are grilled Kazakh kebabs made from minced, seasoned lamb, customarily served over a bed of thinly sliced onions dusted with sumac. That’s just how they’re done at Lula Kebab House, and they’re delectable. A piquant pepper dip of chutney consistency comes alongside the lula, as does a choice of basmati rice, tabbouleh, or mashed […]
It’s a hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in plain sight between an alley and the World Erotic Art Museum. Lush’s motto is “day care for drunks,” and it offers a pool table, jukebox, and beer bongs to prove it. There’s no cover charge, dress code, or typical South Beach attitude. Here you will find a place to […]
As Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood has grown more popular, the offerings at restaurants in the area have become increasingly varied but also more expensive. Lutum – from local operators Washington Charles and Antar Sosa, along with chef Mike Mayta – is the antidote. An ethereal chicken liver mousse begins with the organ meat taking […]
One of the few remaining dive bars in Miami Beach (and one of the oldest), Mac’s Club Deuce is the seaside town’s definitive spot to drink, feed the jukebox, and shoot pool. Not much has changed inside this legendary establishment, which opened in 1926. Find a selection of craft and domestic beers and enough hard […]
Chef Michael Pirolo spent years traveling and cooking at Michelin-starred temples in Piedmont, Lombardy, Bologna, and Campagne. When he returned to the United States, he linked up with Scott Conant and eventually led the opening of Scarpetta at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach before debuting his own Italian restaurant, Macchialina. Pirolo’s skills are many and precise, […]
Its outdoor patio and dance floor, complete with a large chickee hut bar, sports perhaps the best view of Biscayne Bay the city has to offer. Add to that a spicy mix of dancehall or Latin-flavored dance music and it’s one fun, wild party.
Innovative makimono (sushi rolls) aplenty, including the lip-licking kissing roll — crab, avocado, cucumber, and spicy sauce rolled inside-out with flying fish roe, then layered with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and daikon pickle. Get hotter with beef negimaki, scallions rolled in thin-sliced beef and doused in teriyaki sauce. Entrées such as eel fillet sautéed and […]
Your first choice for a seat at any respectable sukibiyashi should be at the sushi bar. Mind your manners. Offer your itamae a slight bow. At Makoto, nestled into the pricier-than-you-can-afford Bal Harbour Shops, you’ll find yourself seated before a glacial-looking block of Himalayan pink sea salt. A verdant leaf is laid on top, and […]
Anyone who’s visited South Beach has, at the very least, walked past Mango’s Tropical Cafe, famed for its exotic tropical atmosphere and lively dance shows that feature Cuban conga, Brazilian samba, and other Latin styles. Mango’s, though, is even more famous for its supersized, tropical-themed cocktails. Served in souvenir glasses, most are offered in 15-, […]
