Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre

Take one look at the lineup at the Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, and you’ll believe that regional theater is alive and well in Miami. The gorgeous, restored Coral Gables landmark boasts a 600-seat mainstage auditorium that’s home to a full season of grown up shows, kid’s productions, educational activities and community services. Their […]

Bardot

Sick of social media? Bardot has a parking-lot entrance, no sign, and a zero-photography policy. A long bar dominates one side of the single open space, while Moroccan-cool lounge furniture, a pool table, and a stage take up the other half. Topnotch local bands, musicians, and DJs play regularly, and late-night parties make this spot […]

Blackbird Ordinary

The nightlife team behind Purdy Lounge on the beach, and The Bar in Coral Gables is at it again, bringing their signature super-chill, never-a-cover concept to the Brickell area. Blackbird features 7 nights a week of quality music programming and drink specials that keep the local heads rocking till the early morning.

Cafeina

One day, 23rd Street might resemble Ocean Drive, but for now, it’s a dark street on a dark block on a dark side of town. This bar and lounge, the Wynwood Café District’s first, is an oasis. The venue includes a spacious outdoor area with couches under glowstick-lit tree branches, a goth-like candlelit interior, an […]

Charlotte Bistro

Charlotte’s distinctiveness begins with the eclectic décor: a quaint and quirky collage of patterned wallpaper, floral nosegays, and white ovoid lamps hanging from a high black ceiling. It all fits together to form an utterly charming ambiance. The cuisine weaves a similarly enchanting web, fusing strands of French bistro fare with ingredients such as the […]

Chef Allen’s

The refurbished restaurant is now billed as a “modern seafood bistro,” the emphasis being placed on local, sustainable fish and produce – and on lower prices, an effort to change the perception of Allen’s from fine-dining destination to casual neighborhood haunt. Start with seafood chowder – a thin, bracing broth brimming with fresh shellfish – […]

China Grill

This SoBe pioneer is still bold, boisterous, big on a grand scale. Let’s use one dish to illustrate: Sake-marinated chicken was a half-bird crisply grilled and sliced into thick, moist wedges imbued with smoke and spice. A mound of vinegary napa cabbage salad countered with an acidic tang, as did a thin, dark sauce based […]

Colony Theatre

Located in the heart of South Beach, Lincoln Road, the Colony Theater has remained one of South Florida’s most popular entertainment venues since 1935. The Deco-Style Colony Theater hosts entertainment programs worth your time, including music, dance, opera, comedy, and film. As a completely refurbished venue, the Colony Theater now encompasses 430 seats with a […]

Coral Castle Museum

It is a strange land that holds a castle of theories. For this castle is said to be carved from 1,100 tons of oolitic limestone and built by one man. This man weighed only 100 pounds. He stood barely over five feet tall. He used no large machinery. But this castle has walls more than […]

Delano Hotel

Ian Schrager’s gem is among the classiest establishments on South Beach, if not the continent. The elegant lobby bar is a long hall partitioned by linen drapes, leading outside to the poolside cabanas and beach bar. Missy Elliot became so enamored of the chic decor that she replicated the look in her own home.
