You’re craving Venezuelan-American fusion, so off to Little Havana you go. ... Wait, what? Let’s start over.

Now comes Ella’s Oyster Bar, Little Havana’s first bivalve-specific environment that’s open now on Calle Ocho and looks like this. You and your

Burgers. Tots. Pizza. It’s the holy triumvirate of bar food. Portobello burgers. Tofu tots. “Earth Pizza.” It’s the holy triumvirate of... something else. Something like Soul Tavern, a vegetarian bar and restaurant with a serious thing for de-meating some of your favorite bar food. It opens tonight in Sunset Harbor, and here’s the slideshow. It’s a
Heat advisories. “Feels like” temperatures. Unyielding humidity. There’s one way and one way only to survive summer in Miami. Not being in Miami. That, or maybe ice cream. Today, we explore some standout versions of the latter option. From frozen avocados on sticks to mango ice cream stuffed between macaroons to—let’s call them large format—sundaes,
Turns out, tacos are also good on non-Tuesdays. And with that profound statement in mind, we’ve searched the city high and low for its most above-average tacos that are suitable for any and all days of the week. Oyster ones. Deviled crab ones.
