Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.
We noticed that Cacao Restaurant in Coral Gables had been closed for the month of September -- never a good sign. But as the message on the restaurant's answering machine optimistically declared that it would reopen October 1st, we figured we'd wait before worrying. Today is October 1st and no signs of life: Is Edgar Leal's Cacao, which opened seven years ago this month, cooked for good? Sure looks that way.
Keep Miami New Times Free... Since we started Miami New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Miami, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Miami with no paywalls.
