On location in Miami, part 3

Pregnant women and senior citizens share something in common—we're fans of the early bird special. As such, it's never a problem to get dinner reservations at the hottest restaurants in town, since the 5:45pm time slot typically isn't coveted.

Paulie and I took advantage of my predictably voracious appetite last week to score tables at some of Miami’s most delicious restaurants {thanks to your amazing suggestions!}. From down-home Cuban to upscale comfort, we ate our way through southern Florida and back, deciding unanimously that Michael's Genuine Food & Drink was our fave—both for its desserts {which I coveted here} and ambience {open kitchen, flattering lighting, and the kind of artwork I’d have if we lived in a loft in SoHo.}





I only brought my zoom lens to the restaurant, so some of the shots are a bit tight. So were my pants, after polishing off linguini with porcini mushrooms.

Honorable mention goes to every meal we ate at Bistro E, the Viceroy’s main restaurant, headed up by chef Michael Psilakis. I loved the mango apricot smoothie, homemade potato chips, and scrambled eggs with sourdough toast.

Fresh-faced and ready for brunch.

And last but not least? The soft, gooey, hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies we were served aboard our flight to and from Miami. I’m sure I’ve had cookies that were just as mouth-watering in the past, but eating sugary treats while reclining in a first-class leather seat as your husband turns his own seat into a ride at Disney World, takes mile-high dining to a whole new level.

Coming in for a landing at Laguardia.

Thanks for following along with my recaps of Miami 2010. Meantime, I’ve cooked up a few posts for the coming days on Fall Fashion Week, our kitchen remodeling, and perhaps even an unveiling of my new baby bump. Catch you later, lovey-loos!
