"Food can be like a song, and sometimes you get mac and cheese or ribs or latkes stuck in your head too. Blue Collar is where you go to cure yourself when that happens. This little indoor/outdoor spot is located in a MiMo motel and is almost always packed with people who look like they’ve been thinking about this cheeseburger - easily one of Miami’s best - for weeks."

"Nestled between the motels along Biscayne Blvd., you’ll find Blue Collar serving comfort food with a twist. Whether you’re in the mood for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, your tastebuds will be singing by the end of any meal here. Make sure not to leave without trying their chocolate cake (trust me)."

"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."

Bombay Darbar plays the Indian classics better than anyone in Miami, and though it’s not as cutting edge as some of our more-celebrated Indian eateries it still packs ’em in night after night.How to book: Call 305-444-7272 to reserve."

"Dining at this five-star, 10-year-old restaurant on Brickell Key is a treat. Specializing in natural Japanese cuisine, NAOE switches up the menu nightly and charges $220 plus a 20 percent gratuity per person and you can’t eat in a rush here. One meal takes two to three hours to complete and Chef Kevin Cory, who studied the art of Japanese food extensively in Kyoto and then Toyama, prepares it with care from start to finish (if you have dietary restrictions you must let the restaurant know 10 days in advance)."

"After shutting down his spot on Sunny Isles, sushi chef Kevin Cory relocated his acclaimed Name to Brickell Key, and he hasn’t missed a beat. While not an inexpensive meal by any means, the tiny, eight-seat Naoe offers one of the best sushi experiences in Miami, always fresh and never disappointing. The meticulous meal rotates daily, with no substitutions permitted, with dishes like stone crab nigiri, fresh uni marinated in salt water, unagi two ways, and a mystery ice cream served at the end of the meal."

Not content to be the grand dame of Miami’s romantic restaurants, the venerable Rusty Pelican has completely revamped its menu, adding stuff like fresh sushi, lobster risotto, and an impressive lineup of steaks. The cocktails here are also among the most surprisingly creative in the city, with six herb-infused gin and tonics complimenting an array of craft creations, like the Cider on the Biscayne with Elijah Craig bourbon, Drambuie, apple cider, lemon juice, and sugar cane."

This Key Biscayne institution is a no-brainer for people who pick their restaurants based on atmosphere and views—the vibe here is lively and the scenery beyond picturesque.

"The Rusty Pelican is tailor-made for wooing with oversized windows, string lights, fire pits, and bay views. High rollers can partake in a caviar and Champagne tasting, while everyone else can choose from sushi, raw bar favorites, and an array of fresh fish entrees. View this post on Instagram"

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."
