What I miss most is the salty aroma. I know I should say family and friends but the beach with it's warm sands and rolling surf comes a close second. Mike and I took our first trip in two years home to Miami. It was a great trip. We got to spend some time with my family and some of our close friends. We also got to try some of Miami's best new restaurants and a couple old favorites. Our first big supper was at Michael's in the happening regentrified Design District. If any of you happen to get there I recommend the 5 pound grilled whole snapper or the short ribs. They were both delicious. In the Design District we also went to Brosia, Soyka's & News Cafe for cocktails. Sorry Joyce.
There are now several great restaurants on Biscayne Blvd. Michey's, which just won the James Beard award has the cutest interior with orange banquets, floral chintz and an innovative menu. My favorite dish we tried was the ceviche. Yum. We also had a fabulous lunch at the Pineapple Blossom Tea Room. They have incredibly fresh sandwiches, wraps and salads. The owner Francis picks fresh mangos from her tree and brings them in still warm from the sun to serve with her creations. Double Yum!
Some of our old favorites... Mac's Club Deuce on Miami Beach, our favorite dive bar on the planet. T-mex across the street from the Deuce for Guacolocos with serious sauce. Vicki's Bakery in Hialeah for meat pastries called Pastelles. Fox's Sheridan Inn on US 1 for cocktails and a Greek salad. Jumbo's on 167 street for Dim Sum. And an old favorite of mine...Tark's on US1 in Dania for steamers and conch salad. There are more but I'm running out of space and my fingers are cramping.
