Bleau Bar

Located in the lobby of the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel, Bleau Bar was a popular hangout for the Rat Pack back in the 1950s.

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill

Located in South Beach, Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill serves a menu packed with traditional vegetable rolls that can be difficult to find amid Miami Beach’s cacophony of sushi spots. One roll is loaded with threads of loamy enoki mushrooms. Another wraps rice and seaweed paper around crunchy matchsticks of burdock root that taste […]

The Blues Bar at the National Hotel

If fly-by-night lounges with flimsy faux furnishings have left you feeling a little disposable, it may be time to plant your derriere at a sturdy oak bar with ambiance rooted in another era.

Bocce Bar

At Bocce Bar in midtown, executive chef Timon Balloo doesn’t want to dazzle you. He cooks things simply – braising duck legs in stock before plunging them into a pan with orecchiette, squash, and Parmesan. They are finished in a sauce that’s thick enough to coat a wooden spoon and tastes of sage and thyme. […]

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila South Beach

The focal point at Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is a pair of slowly twirling stacks of meat. The glistening, dripping columns of pork shoulder, layered with bacon and chicken, are topped with a pineapple whose juices sweat down into the meat. The method is inspired by small roadside spots on the outskirts of Mexico City. […]

Bond Street Lounge

The menu at this sleek, nightclub-like sushi spot is considerably more limited than that at Manhattan’s original Bond Street, but many aficionados consider chef Hiroshi Nakahara’s artfully plated sushi, sashimi, and hot or cold small plates the most sophisticated and solidly creative Japanese restaurant fare in town. Bond Street’s specialties rely on imaginative yet admirably […]
