- Miami Restaurants
- David's Café
- 1058 Collins Avenue
(305) 534-8736 I'm Italian, so I'm genetically programmed to take coffee seriously. I stop here most mornings—not just because of the killer Cuban coffee but because the caf—draws a mix of customers: families, policemen, truck drivers. Plus, it really captures Miami's Latin vibe.
- Domo Japones
- 4000 NE 2nd Avenue
(305) 573-5474 My friend Amir Ben-Zion just opened this modern sushi place in the charming old Buena Vista post-office building. I go to his other Miami restaurants all the time—BondST Lounge in the Townhouse Hotel and Miss Yip Chinese Café in South Beach. Having this right by my office is amazingly convenient.

Atlas Plaza
(305) 573-5550 One of my go-to places for lunch. It's so relaxing sitting outside under the palm and ficus trees. I get the chopped salad, and everyone goes insane for the fries. The staff is particularly attentive, a novelty in Miami.

(305) 534-5488 This trendy bistro with a Hong Kong– inspired menu serves the lightest, most delicious food, including homemade dim sum, and it's shockingly inexpensive. After dinner, my group heads upstairs for a drink at Buck 15, a retro lounge with comfy sofas and rock, electronic and hip-hop music.
