"In Miami’s historic MiMo District, Blue Collar has been serving up some of the best comfort food dishes in the city for nearly seven years (wow!) though it feels like just yesterday Chef Daniel Serfer arrived on the scene. He opened Mignonette, another instant success, just two years after Blue Collar. The brunch menu consists of Eggy Stuff, Syrupy Stuff, Othery Stuff, Sandwichy Stuff, and Salady Stuff and please believe us when we say you can’t go wrong no matter what your palate fancies."

The restaurant offers delicious local food that guests can enjoy in the covered outdoor space or the casual and modern indoor dining area."
"Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar takes its cues from the classic American diner. The tiny restaurant in the MiMo District offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Chanukah latkes (served year-round)."
"Michael Schwartz’s eatery sits directly on Biscayne Bay and showcases stunning views that can be seen from the expansive patio area. But even when the weather turns sour, most of the seats are covered and the menu is still worth checking out filled with items like its short rib empanadas, yucca cheese puffs, grilled red snapper, and its surf-and-turf parradilla."
"Amara at Paraiso bills itself as the quintessential Miami waterfront restaurant featuring a fresh approach to bold Latin American flavours. Stunning blue-hued waterfront views practically splash into the dining room here. Enjoy a sunset meal outside on their second-floor balcony."
"☀️, we’re open for #SundayBrunch until 4 pm and dinner tonight from 5-10 pm!. Click the link in bio for reservations."
"If the first thing you think upon arriving at La Sandwicherie’s Miami Beach location is, “Wait… am I in the right place?. ,” you have arrived. That’s because there’s no restaurant to walk into—just a counter where you can order a sandwich or, if you’re really lucky, grab a seat."
"It’s hard to go wrong at this South Beach sandwich mecca, but after a morning of sun and waves, we find ourselves craving this summery combo of turkey, Brie and avocado. Now available for delivery and take-out. 229 14th St., 305-532-8934; lasandwicherie.com"
"With a location in Brickell and South Beach, La Sandwicherie serves up some of the most satisfying sandwiches you will ever eat. Make sure to try the free vinaigrette on the tables, it’s a game charger."
"This restaurant – situated inside an airy warehouse-meets-Italian-grandma's-dining-room in hip Sunset Harbour – specialises in a straightforward menu of brick-oven pizzas, calzones and sophisticated salads. It's the chewy crust, the fresh mozzarella, pungent parmigiano and sweet, balanced tomato sauce that make the pizzas so good. Lucali doesn't take reservations and draws a crowd, so get there early."
"Pizza is the ultimate comfort food, and one of Miami’s best pizzerias Lucali, offers up some of the best in the city."
"This might be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Miami, and that’s saying a lot considering we’ve got some fire tacos in these parts. They’ve got it all: tacos al pastor, quesadillas, enchiladas. Most importantly, their guac game is ON POINT. If you’re feelin’ particularly famished, there’s always the burrito grande, a grilled burrito stuffed with chicken or steak, rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, crema Mexicana, and of course, that guacamole."
"If they're eating at Atlas Meat Free Deli, they're chowing down on an impossibly meaty menu. This Little River food truck and soon-to-be brick-and-mortar deli is "vegan food for carnivores," in the words of owner Ryan Bauhaus. The menu is stacked with towering sandwiches and sizable specials."
"Last but not least in Flamingo Lummus, check out Blocks Pizza Deli, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 413 reviews on Yelp. You can find the deli and Italian spot, which offers pizza and more, at 1447 Washington Ave. This casual eatery specializes in Roman-style pies and square slices, as well as calzones."
"Situated just five minutes away from Fort Lauderdale Beach, Gateway Shopping Center is one of the favorite malls in town. It features some leisure establishments like a cinema and several smaller retail options. If you are hungry, plenty of restaurants are also available, including an Italian restaurant."
"At Sunglass Hut, our mission is to be the premier shopping and inspiration destination for high quality fashion and performance sunglasses. Starting out in 1971 as a small kiosk in Miami, Sunglass Hut is now the leading international retailer of sunglasses and is part of the Italian-based Luxotti..."
"Spread across eight square blocks just off Washington Avenue, this breezy, open-air shopping street offers a high-low variety in a tropical sun-drenched setting. With over seventy-five shops ranging from national brands like H&M and Sephora to specialty boutiques, spend the day window-shopping with a friend or bring the entire family. After some serious retail therapy, sit down at your choice of sixty local restaurants including Havana 1957 for authentic Cuban cuisine or duck into SuViche for a tuna tartare and a glass of Peruvian macerados."
"Arguably Miami's most well-known shopping center, the Lincoln Road Mall in South Beach is full of stores, boutiques, art galleries, and museums. Nearly the entire area of this open-air mall is closed to automobile traffic, making it a great place to stroll and people watch. You'll find Urban Outfitters, Madewell, Steve Madden, Melissa Shoes, Scotch & Soda, Nike, Lacoste, Forever 21, Adidas by Stella McCartney, BCBG Max Azria, Anthropologie, Ted Baker, Zara, Victoria’s Secret, American Eagle, Zadig & Voltaire, Lululemon Athletica, and more."
"Between 16th and 17th Street in South Beach lies Lincoln Road, a "shopping street" of sorts, lined with stores, restaurants, art galleries and cafes. From national chains to eclectic one-of-a-kind shops, there is something around every street corner of this pedestrian mall. When the hunt for a good buy has taken its toll, shoppers take a break and people watch at one of the many restaurants with outdoor seating on Lincoln Road."
"The fast-selling, handmade brioche donuts are buttery and fluffy outside, soft and moist inside. They make regular flavours like traditional glazed, hazelnut chocolate and white chocolate tres leches all year round. Grab some maple bacon donuts if you are there, hands up!"
"Although 'artisanal doughnuts' sounds pretentious, no one can deny the merits of these artfully designed creations featuring seasonal ingredients – probably the best in South Florida. Maple and bacon, guava and... Mexican in Wynwood & the Design District"
"Located on always-bustling Calle Ocho in historic Little Havana, this longtime red-and-white donut shop is known for its light and fluffy glazed donuts, along with fancy and filled donuts in a variety of flavors. For a taste of Miami, indulge in the guava, très léchés or flan flavors; or revert to your childhood with whimsical donuts smothered in M&Ms or Fruity Pebbles, while kicking back with a coffee. Go ahead and splurge, we won’t tell anyone."
"If you’re looking for the “Miami-est” donut in town to celebrate National Doughnut Day then look no further than Mojo Donuts!. Customers have the chance to try a Flantastic donut that is literally flan-filled!. Sink your teeth into a glazed yeast donut with a whole piece of flan in the middle."
"Gourmet donuts topped and stuffed with all of your food dreams. You may or may not find yourself finishing an entire box before you even get home and I definitely don’t know that from personal experience or anything…"
