349020 Thu Dec 07 14:04:01 -0800 2006 15 28 Kosher 0 2078043 Will be vacationing in the Miami area for a week. Never been before. What restaurants are not to be missed? Which ones should we avoid? We are going to want a full range of styles/flavors over the week... so as much advice as possible would be helpful! Thu Dec 07 14:04:01 -0800 2006 32132 kirahersko 1 2078789 for pizza check out shem-tovs and sara's pizza, there is also pita hut which is ok. Thu Dec 07 17:50:14 -0800 2006 2078043 19822 chai18 2 2079522 what would a trip to Miami be without a trip to Sara's . hmmm Shmoppaburger Thu Dec 07 20:37:03 -0800 2006 2078789 13122 berel 1 2080034 Where are you staying? It's a pretty spread out set of communities/options. Thu Dec 07 22:38:59 -0800 2006 2078043 12009 DeisCane 1 2080822 We will be staying at the Intercontinental Downtown. But we will have a car and be doing things all over.... So we would rather drive a little further but eat good food. Fri Dec 08 03:34:34 -0800 2006 2078043 32132 kirahersko 2 2081453 if you happen to be in the Boca area don't miss Eilat cafe Fri Dec 08 14:34:13 -0800 2006 2080822 13122 berel 1 2081445 From the Intercontinental, your best bets are in the 41st street corridor, in terms of convenience. Aventura is a hike, imo. In the 41st street corridor, there's a Le Marais (solid), New Time (Spanish/Moroccan) (never been), Shalom Tokyo (51st street), Original Pita Hut (OK). Even closer to your hotel, on 6th and COllins, is Pita Loca, which is great, imo. Fri Dec 08 14:30:30 -0800 2006 2078043 12009 DeisCane 1 2087450 According to their website Le Marais in Miami is closed while they renovate the building as a condo/hotel along with a restaurant. Sun Dec 10 23:54:08 -0800 2006 2078043 18754 flo220 1 2092126 I'm really curious how Tea for Two is "much closer" than Pita Loca. Tue Dec 12 14:30:57 -0800 2006 2078043 12009 DeisCane 1 2092531 I was refering to being closer than the "41st street corridor". Pita Loca is closer and is also in South Beach. Tue Dec 12 16:24:19 -0800 2006 2078043 19709 alaninf 1 2092632 But is Tea for Two any good? I'd rather eat at good places then close places! Tue Dec 12 16:50:00 -0800 2006 2078043 32132 kirahersko 1 2093265 I've heard TeaForTwo is good, but since I eat dairy out, it never appealed to me. Tue Dec 12 19:25:17 -0800 2006 2078043 12009 DeisCane 1 2097271 Tea for Two is excellent. Boca is too far from Miami, and Eilat Cafe is certainly not worth the trip. Cine Citta in Surfside is worth it, and the many restaurants in the Aventura strip (near the "old" Prime Grill, I forget the name now) also are good. Wed Dec 13 21:17:21 -0800 2006 2078043 12131 tomby 2 2097582 In the Aventura section I love Pita Plus - great Schwarma. Does anyone know what came of the Mexican place in the mall that did kosher meat?? Wed Dec 13 22:26:54 -0800 2006 2097271 22234 Marcharlan 1 2358872 BS"D Thai Taste in North Miami is the best I've had anywhere. Tue Mar 06 13:19:20 -0800 2007 2078043 80401 ShlomoDovid 1 2393212 Best Schwarma (and other middle eastern food) by far Levi's on Sheridan Street in Hollywood. About 1 mile west of I 95 on north side in strip center. Stay away from Sarah's Tent in Aventura on Biscayne Blvd. - horrible! The restaurants in Waterways in Aventura are okay - some people love the Chinese others hate it.Sarah's on 125th Street is always good. Fri Mar 16 14:27:48 -0700 2007 2078043 83311 wino616
