The Corner

If you “know what it means to miss New Orleans,” the Corner is the Miami bar for you. Nestled in the downtown nightclub district, this little speakeasy boasts a bar constructed from 150-year-old repurposed wood and a vibe that’s more reminiscent of the Big Easy than the neon lights of the Magic City. Maybe that’s […]

Corsair Kitchen & Bar

Corsair, celebrity Italian chef Scott Conant’s second Miami restaurant, doesn’t stray too far from home. It’s located in an Aventura resort owned by the same family behind Miami Beach’s iconic Fontainebleau, where his place Scarpetta has been a favorite since opening in 2008. It’s a bit more relaxed here, but that doesn’t mean flip-flops and […]

Covadonga

Rigged out in shipboard gear, this fine seafood restaurant has earned its spars and stripes. You almost expect the creaking of the hull and the tang of salt air; instead, you get the horns and exhaust from SW Eighth Street and one of the best Cuban meals in the city. For starters, try the clams […]

On weekends, lines can be long at this Wynwood taco joint.

Cozy Corner

It is indeed a cozy, homey sort of diner on a bustling corner of Miami Springs’ business district.
