Maybe it’s because the restaurant’s bright outdoor patio faces a serene, unobstructed view of the Haulover Cut, with the waves just loud enough to hear as you nosh. Or, maybe it’s the thick slices of fresh bread, toasted to just the right crunch and smeared with creamy avocado or light basil and burrata, that do the trick.

By Laine DossMay 25, 2017

Last month, the Florida state House of Representatives passed Senate bill SB106, which would allow grocers like Publix and retailers like Target to sell liquor in the same space as other items.Dubbed the “Whiskey and Wheaties” bill, or the “Liquor Wall,” the bill would let consumers buy booze as easily as they buy cereal.

By Alona Abbady MartinezMay 23, 2017

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer.

Estefan Kitchen: The Design District Goes Cuban

By Valeria Nekhim LeaseMay 23, 2017

At Estefan Kitchen in the Design District, a trio of musicians kicks things up a notch as soon as the clock strikes 9. A young woman in barely there shorts and her father dance salsa beautifully, while next to them a gentleman in his late 80s starts doing the twist. He gets down so low that for a moment it’s unclear whether he’ll make it back up — but sure enough he does, which earns him a round of applause. Here, it’s business as usual when waiters and bartenders periodically break out in song. The real treat arrives when an elderly man stands and begins belting out opera, and, naturally, the room goes wild.

In Miami, legitimate bagel options are rare. Bagel Bar East, Bagel Cove, and Toasted are the most reliable. Head a bit farther north, and Sage Bagel (along with its array of smoked fish) is the best of the best. But all of those options didn’t seem right for 25-year-old Matteson Koche, who for a few months has run a bagel delivery service via the Instagram account El Bagel.
