Great place for live music. It's big enough to have a crowd but, at the same time, small enough to feel the energy from the band playing from wherever you're standing, and the sound is really good.

Transit does get crowded and, at that point  it's…More »

This is a great place to enjoy live music.

Love when March comes and it's time for all Tennis players (Nadal, Simon, Chardy, Youzhny, and more!) to be in Miami, ready to play their best to win, what it's considered, the fifth Grand Slam.

My favorite days to go are the first Saturday & Sunday,…More »

They divide their menu in…More »

Couple of weeks ago I had my first taste of B&B's fried pickles.  At first I was not sure if I wanted to try these things presented in front of me in a tin bucket but everyone I was with that night said I "HAD TO" try them.  Thankfully I listened.

3pm in the mood for "brunch".  Check my Yelp App, to see what's nearby, and find Sra. Martinez.  My Mom and I love trying new pace so in we go.

First things first, "a Mimosa please".  And my "brunch" mood is set.  To eat I order the Huevos Benedicto -…More »
