The Bagel Express, a nondescript delicatessen squeezed into a small suburban strip mall, crafts deliciously simple bagels that typically sell out before noon. Made from scratch and baked fresh daily, options include pumpernickel, sesame, egg, poppyseed, garlic, salt, cinnamon, plain, and everything. For carb lovers with a conscience, there are also whole-wheat and eight-grain bagels […]

Like the Constitution, the Incredible Hulk, and a baseball pitcher working a no-hitter, there are some things you just shouldn’t mess with. Old-school bagel-making should have a place on that list, yet the world is bafflingly full of frozen, bagged holes of dough stomping all over the good name of this traditional Jewish delicacy. Fortunately, […]
Even in a city filled with authentic Caribbean cuisine, suburbanites flock to “the Breeze” for fine fakin’-Jamaican food. Sometimes the wait is more than an hour – not necessarily a problem if you spend it drinking a mojito made with fresh-squeezed sugarcane out on the huge outdoor bar deck that comes complete with a stunning […]
Not really a Caribbean restaurant, this family-style operation is, however, a good spot for fresh standard seafood dishes with Cuban nuances. Don’t miss the escabeche, a chilled extravaganza of lightly breaded and fried pickled kingfish smothered with a tart onion-and-pepper-studded marinade. Nothing is frozen here and seasonal catches are priced by the pound. Breakfast, lunch, […]

When you spot the decorative cacti out front, you’ll know you’ve arrived at Bakan. This lovely Wynwood restaurant offers traditional Mexican dishes far removed from the taco joints that proliferate throughout Miami. Here you’ll find Oaxacan mole dishes and whole grilled fish. If you’re feeling adventurous, look for the “Los Insectos” section of the menu, […]
Founded in 1985 in a former bakery, the Bakehouse Art Complex (BAC) is at the heart of Wynwood’s artistic soul. It’s a one-stop shop of sorts, with galleries, exhibition space and, crucially, partially to fully funded studio space for more than 100 local artists working in a wide range of media. The complex’s sprawling grounds […]

Bali Café is a veritable downtown Miami gem, serving up the kind of Indonesian food you won’t find anywhere else in the Magic City. The “Nasi Goreng Special” is the move, fried rice with opor ayam and rendang (chicken and beef cooked in coconut milk), steamed vegetables, pickled carrot and cucumber, and garlic crackers all […]

Sitting above a green-and-white-striped awning, the neon sign for the “World Famous Ball & Chain Bar and Lounge” illuminates SW Eighth Street much as it did nearly 80 years ago. Founded in 1935, Ball & Chain was a jazz palace where the likes of Billie Holiday and Count Basie jammed until the sun came up. […]
Make sure to ask for the small “Chinese” menu — it yields authentic goodies like kung pao frog’s legs. Steamed whole flounders and Maine lobsters — not to mention dishes like stir-fried rice noodles with seafood, stocked with shrimp, scallops, squid, and lobster — are big enough for four to share, as is the terrific […]
