Best Falafel

The Original Daily Bread MarketplaceSome people spend years driving down South Dixie Highway before realizing this Middle Eastern bakery and café is there. It hides in plain sight. And like the more-than-four-decade-old place, Daily Bread’s falafel ($5.95 sandwich, $7.95 platter) are magic. Some falafel boast emerald-green interiors fragrant with parsley and sumac.

How Coconut Grove Used Technology to Get FPL to Restore Its Power

Power is a loaded word, and Miami is ready to blow its top. Nine days into the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, thousands of residents across Miami-Dade and Broward remain without power. Many locals feel powerless in the face of the brute force of nature and also Florida Power & Light, the state's regulated electricity monopoly, as evidence mounts that the company wasn’t ready to handle Irma when it knocked out power to roughly 90 percent of customers.

Miami Wasted Thousands on Untested Pesticide That Didn’t Kill Zika Mosquitos

When the Zika virus struck last year, Miami-Dade County Mosquito Control immediately began fogging with three pesticides: BTI, a group of bacteria that kills mosquito larvae; naled, a controversial chemical compound banned in Europe over links to developmental disorders in children; and permethrin, the active ingredient in home bug-killers such as Raid. Permethrin was sprayed at least seven times in Wynwood and five times in Miami Beach, but by the end of August, the county realized the poison had little effect and stopped using it.

Minimum-Wage Earners Must Work 80-Hour Week to Afford One Bedroom in Miami

To be poor in America is to give up every second of your free time. It means working ten- or 12-hour shifts folding towels at luxury Miami Beach resorts, only to ride multiple buses two hours there, two hours back, waking up at 4 a.m., and getting home at 8 every night. It means skipping voting or your kids' graduation because you don't get paid time off.

What they’re trying to find varies and perhaps remains a mystery even to the seeker. But for those who didn’t just stumble out of happy hour, going to a psychic can be […]

If you want noodles, a rich broth, and luscious, savory meat, chicken ramen is your golden goose. Such delicate bowls have been few and far between in Miami, where ramen is still sticking around, though it never quite seized the eating public's imagination in the way doughnuts did.
