This South Beach veteran cooks pastas to order, including noodles such as pipette all’amatriciana with bacon and onions, and elbows with porcini mushrooms and arugula. Gnocchi float like foam on waves. Dishes come in three sizes: starter, regular, or family (the last two are served in bowls with ladles). Dependable meat and fish entrées mark […]
South Beach in Miami New Times
Showing 617 - 638 of 675Tongue & Cheek, a relaxed dining room in South Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, belongs to Jamie DeRosa and Michael Reginbogin — both former employees of the Dream South Beach Hotel, where DeRosa cooked under celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian at the restaurant Tudor House. But DeRosa’s current dining room is unlike his previous refined setting. […]
A decade of service on South Beach and still on the cutting edge – literally. Sashimi is tender fare – soft and supple. Enjoy a plethora of the raw fish as chirashi: tuna, salmon, yellowtail, octopus, shrimp, and others lying atop vinegared sushi rice and seaweed. Sushi is topnotch, as is eel sauced with sweet […]
Thanks to the Magic City’s porous earth and position right at sea level, it’s a scientific fact that Miami is one of the toughest places in America to get underground. There’s a reason no one has a basement around here, folks. South Florida’s musical underground, however, is a very different beast, and we’re happy to […]
With Tropezón, Lost Boy cofounders Randy Alonso and Chris Hudnall (cf. Fox’s Lounge, Brother’s Keeper) have brought the art of the gin and tonic to Miami Beach’s Española Way. The Andalusian-themed tapas and gin bar, tucked inside the Esmé Miami Beach hotel, proves that a G&T is more than ice, booze, and soda. In Spain, […]
What makes this South Beach bakery’s croissants so incredible? True Loaf uses high-fat butter and good flour, and it has very high standards. In addition to offering various croissants and several varieties of sourdough, True Loaf also sells baguettes, ciabatta, pastelitos, buns, and cookies. And if you stop by on a Friday, you can purchase […]
Diners are started with hot spherical puffs of pretzel rolls, the type you can still get on the streets of American cities, but much fresher. A wide array of bar snacks — olives, Marcona almonds, bruschetta variations, and the like — can come in handy for munching with predinner drinks. Seafood plates among them — […]
A mainstay on Washington Avenue for over 15 years, Twist is the mother hen of South Beach gay clubs. Inside the spacious club you’ll find seven different bars; a tiki bar, something called a “Frolic Lounge,” a salsa room in the bottom floor, and a house music dance floor at the top. Still one of […]
Located in the Delano’s chic, club-like lobby, the old Blue Sea is now Umi Sushi & Sake Bar. Don’t worry, though, old faves like the FDR roll (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and crab in soy paper) and the über-posh Delano roll (poached lobster, Wagyu beef, and black truffle) are still on the menu.
Independent record stores are a rare find these days. But for those who want a little dose of classic counter culture, there’s still Uncle Sam’s Music. This Washington Ave outpost has been Miami Beach’s flagship music shop since 1984. They’ve got all things vinyl – plus CDs, t-shirts, DVDs, candy, music gear, incense and all […]
Stephen Starr has a new Miami Beach eatery, Upland. The modus operandi is “to make guests feel like [the restaurant is] lucky to have them, not that they’re lucky to be here,” explains Upland’s top toque, Justin Smillie. Before linking arms with Starr to open the original Upland in Manhattan two years ago, Smillie earned […]
