Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach

Miami Beach’s Sculpture of Love and Anguish is hard to miss. This towering bronze hand, surrounded by anguished souls climbing towards the sky, is the centerpiece of the city’s Holocaust Memorial. Tall pillars, a reflecting pool and a memorial wall complete the somber experience at this unforgettable monument, conceived by local Holocaust survivors in the […]

Hotel Astor

This place always seems to have a crowd, despite the overwhelming feeling of boredom attributed to the lack of dance space. Conversely, the restaurant side is great for local celebrity sightings.

Huahua’s Taqueria

Situated on South Beach’s Lincoln Road, Huahua’s Taqueria doesn’t abide by any authenticity besides its own. It isn’t exactly a Mexican restaurant, nor is it Tex-Mex or even fusion. It’s the kind of place you usually visit after midnight, on evenings when you’ve perhaps had too much to drink, and nothing but a deep-fried avocado […]

Hyde Beach

Time for some real talk: It’s damn difficult to mess up a poolside bar in Miami. You’re beside a pool. There’s a bar. You purchase cocktails, dip your feet into the water, and basically live the American dream as you sip your way to the bottom. How hard can this be, people? Yet an astonishing […]

Il Mulino New York

Sure, there’s another outpost of New York’s Il Mulino in Sunny Isles Beach, but why shlep there when the team behind it opened a sleek, whitewashed sibling in SoFi? Complimentary antipasti come in many forms: a tray of freshly baked bread, Italian sausage, spiced fried zucchini, and bruschetta with mussels. This is just the beginning. […]

Izzy’s Fish & Oyster

Proper sourcing is integral to the success of Izzy’s Fish & Oyster. That’s because the entire concept was born from chef-owner Jamie DeRosa’s desire to own a restaurant reminiscent of a New England clam shack. His wife Amy is from Rhode Island, and he was born on Long Island. Izzy’s is named for their 3-year-old […]

Jaya at the Setai

Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Indian specialties appear on the menu at Jaya, the year-old restaurant at the Setai. The restaurant’s top toque is a 2015 Chopped champion Mathias Gervais, who grew up in the South of France but has always been fascinated with Asian food and culture. One of the kitchen’s specialties is […]

Jazid

When we say “hole-in-the-wall,” we mean it in a good way. This little bar has an upper and lower level, with different bands and DJs playing music until the sun comes up. It feels like a rehearsal studio for up-and-coming rock stars. But there are dance floors and fully stocked bars on both floors. Check […]
