Full of exclusive restaurants and bursting with cool cafés, Lincoln Road is vivid with atmosphere. The restaurant diversity is simply staggering; just to mention a few, Sushi Samba is a place with a classic flamboyant Japanese touch blended with voluble techno music and  where you can enjoy an exotic triple colored seaweed salad. Touch is "a feast for the senses" with a comfortable modern setting, belly dancing and a menu ...

I have to admit, I love to shop.  So, last night I headed to an old favorite that I haven't been to in months - International Mall.  Located just off 107th St. in Doral, International Mall has everything you'd expect from a mall and then some.  All the regular stores are there - the Gap, NY & Co., JC Penny, Macy's...  plus some off beat tiendas with Latin spice. 

International Mall ...

Last night I went to see the pianist, Jean Michel Pilc, at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts.  I have to say, I am not much for piano music or jazz - I bought the tickets as a Christmas gift and got dragged along... But, I actually had a great time.  Mr. Pilc did this song where he whistled through the whole thing while playing perfectly, and I found myself ...

Where would you find a waiting list for a table at a fast food joint?  Kokoriko!  This Colombian chicken chain recently opened up a store near Dadeland Mall - and the local Colombians are going crazy.  I visited last Saturday and had to wait in outside a full 30 minutes just to get a table.  I have to say, it was worth the wait just for the caramel flan.  Oh, ...

Saturday I went to Tropical Park. The day was cool but not cold. It was sunny but occasionally slightly overcast. While the day was bright, it was not a scorching sunlight. Even though Tropical Park is in the middle of Miami, the air feels fresh inside the park. I had a very relaxing and fun day with my family at ...

This weekend I ate at one of the trendiest spots off the beach - Duo.  This little swanky restaurant is just off Brickell Avenue on Miami Ave - and if you didn't know it was there, you probably wouldn't go looking.  But, this hidden gem is worth searching for. 

The inside of Duo is minimally decorated with modern decor and dim lighting, while the outside deck with its small tables has a ...

While the Superbowl is being played in Miami right now, and your sitting in the stands all wet, hungry and just waiting for the Colts to win, there's a great place just miles away for first-rate ribs.

Ribs Express,  9921 Miramar Pkwy,(954) 433-0100, offers all your southern cookin' staples: ribs, BBQ beef and pork.

Going to Subway just doesn't cut it anymore; Jared looks like he's gaining weight again. With that on my shoulders, I've found the right kind of submarine sandwich shop.

Substantial Subs, spinkled throughout the Miami metro area, is the sub shop for those looking for gastronomical delights. What sets Substantial above the rest is there giant grill and their friendly employees who use that grill to cook loads of food. The ...

Being an international hub with tons of diversity, Miami has something for everyone.  Here's a great link to some of the things going on around Miami in February: Check out this Eventguide.

And if you like music or theater, the new Carnival Center for the performing arts has some great events for February.  I'm going to see the jazz pianist Jean-Michel Pilc next week, so I'll have more to say ...

This past weekend I was in Miami Beach strolling down Lincoln Road when I came accross a place I hadn't been to in a while - Zeke's.  Most people don't know about Zeke's Roadhouse.  It's a tiny little hole-in-the-wall with a little black and white sign marking it's entrance.  It certainly looks out of place among the glitz and glamor of South Beach.  But, if you like beer and you ...
