Enid Pinkney

Jun 20, 2023

Earlier this year, when the City of Hialeah floated the idea of annexing an unincorporated chunk of Brownsville, the latter community's leaders banded together to preserve the legacy of their historically Black neighborhood, which was a key destination for civil-rights leaders and entertainers during the segregation era. One of the...

Dale Zine

Best Beach (Miami)

Sunny Isles Beach

Jun 20, 2023

If Miami Beach is for the tourists, then Sunny Isles Beach is for the locals. Wedged between the Atlantic Ocean and the hotel and condominium towers lining Collins Avenue between Aventura and Bal Harbour, this tiny sliver of low-key beachfront is clean, quiet, and blessed with the softest white sand...
Best Chef

Brad Kilgore

Jun 20, 2023

During the pandemic, fine-dining restaurants that couldn't pivot to takeout didn't fare well, and all three of Brad Kilgore's trendy, fine-dining restaurants — Alter, Ember, and Kaido — tragically closed. But, instead of languishing, Kilgore thrived personally and professionally. He took consulting jobs, worked on the menu for the exclusive,...

Branja Miami

Jun 20, 2023

Why settle for falafel when you have "falafish"? Why dine on shawarma when you can enhance that experience with a healthier "fishwarma"? Why settle for a salad when you can order "Tom[atoes] 'n' Tahini"? This inventive Israeli restaurant shines with light from both the stained-glass ceiling and the exuberant talent...
Best Politician

Florida Sen. Shev Jones, District 34

Jun 20, 2023

"Best Politician" is a tricky category. It's the one most likely to figuratively bite a humble writer in the keister ten years down the line, when a best-politician laureate is arrested for actually biting someone's keister during a coke binge at a moldy motel. That said, this year's selection, Florida...

Best Used Bookstore

Old Florida Book Shop

Jun 20, 2023

The Old Florida Book Shop is not very old. Though the Dania Beach shop opened in 2009, its interior design — towering, floor-to-ceiling shelves punctuated by ornate lamps, grandfather clocks, and desk globes — suggests a wisdom far beyond its 14 years. Like any 14-year-old, however, Old Florida Book Shop...

Sweet Haven Books

Jun 20, 2023

With developers seeking to build more condos atop 2,500-year-old archaeological sites, it's fair to assume Miami is a town that doesn't put much stock in its history. A welcome exception to that rule can be found in the Florida section of Sweet Haven Books in the historic village of Cauley...
Best Pool

Hyde Beach

Jun 20, 2023

Pinpointing the pool that reigns supreme is no easy task in a town with almost as many of 'em as there are backyards. But no matter how you shuffle the deck, Hyde Beach at the SLS South Beach comes up near the tippy top. Whether it be the funky painted...

Evelyn's (in the Four Seasons Hotel)
