Secreted within downtown Miami’s International Jewelry Center is an izakaya (that’s the term for the smallish, Japanese-style pubs littered throughout Tokyo) offering a surprisingly large menu of sushi and tapas-style plates that capture the essence of an authentic Asian kitchen. The small restaurant has only 30 seats, half of which line the outside hallway, plus […]
Like the chosen moniker for its famous home run statue, some might dub LoanDepot Park (formerly Marlins Park) a “Tremenda Mierda” – thanks to owner Jeffrey Loria’s success at sinking the city into debt to fund the creation of 37,000 empty seats. But while a trip to this Little Havana venue might reveal disgruntled players […]
Wynwood owes its art mecca status in large part to Locust Projects. The artist-run nonprofit has become the largest experimental contemporary arts organization in the Southeast. Since their inception, they’ve presented work from nearly 250 local, national, and international names and more than 125 exhibits. Big numbers. They’re all about offering an inviting atmosphere to […]

Lokal is a brand with a mission: burgers and beer with a sustainable, healthful bent. This neighborhood haunt sources locally and prides itself on freshness, quality, and staying environmentally responsible – not the mantra of your average burger joint. And in the end, Lokal’s burgers are all the better for it, from the “Miami Heat” […]
Ever wonder what a speakeasy on top of a 30-year-old Mexican restaurant looks like? A Little Havana ballroom turned storage space, Los Altos has been transformed into a sultry mezcal-fueled lounge that requires you to make your way up a staircase and through a Mexican candy shop to gain access. Owned by the team that […]
The food community makes a lot of noise about heritage and honoring lost Indigenous pathways. Los Félix does something about it. Dedicated to the Mexican-born Milpa agriculture – a system in which heirloom corn is interplanted with other crops, such as squash and beans, in order to share resources – Los Félix uses those ingredients […]
When the nostalgia thermometer of a Cuban exile registers a dangerously high level, it usually signifies the person is in a state of hallucinatory shock known as “acaba de llegar.” Symptoms include calling all friends socios, having a packed bag that weighs exactly 44 pounds sitting next to the door, and frequently waving a ration […]
The welcome is warm at this small, casually cowboy-cool restaurant/wine-and-beer bar. Decor and food are Southwestern-theme, and prices are superbudget. A significant natural foods component accompanies many items, with a menu of five kinds of salads. Breakfast omelets are made with free-range eggs, and tacos or burritos are available with a range of add-ons: pinon-/pepita-crusted […]

Forget the molecular mixology madness – Lost Boy Dry Goods brings drinking back to earth with brick walls, chill vibes, and zero pretension. Brought to you by Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso (cf. Fox’s Lounge, https://www.miaminewtimes.com/location/tropezon-16468887 , and, most recently, Brother’s Keeper) this bar inside the historic Alfred I. duPont Building downtown offers a cocktail […]
This Miracle Mile mainstay isn’t much different than all other Thai food spots. The décor is pleasant but unimaginative – tropical fish tanks, soft reddish lighting, and glass-top tables adorned with an orchid centerpiece. The food, likewise, is tasty but nothing overly exciting that screams out with flavor. In fact, if you’re a fan of […]
