Unlike Wikipedia’s definition for Tongue-in-cheek, “a figure of speech used to imply that a statement or other production is humorously or otherwise not seriously intended, and it should not be taken at face value”, Tongue & Cheek‘s food and service is seriously good.  Some friends and I popped in for happy hour and worked our […]

One of my favorite things about summer in South Florida is that it is mango season! The smell of ripe mangoes permeates the air and children set up mango stands throughout the Village of Pinecrest and other neighborhoods. There are so many different of mangoes that it is a bit difficult to know which stand […]

We had a delicious meal at this tiny little jewel, in a strip center in the Village of Pinecrest. They have an extensive menu that includes many vegetarian options, which is a must when eating out with my daughter. We started with two different lentil dishes Daal Waada and Daal Maakni, both delicious. My daughter […]

Wow! I barely survived President’s Day Weekend, between Art Miami, the Miami International Boat Show, and Coconut Grove Art Festival, and it is time for the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, which starts on Thursday.

One of my favorite things about summer is that it is mango season.  This year, Fairchild’s Mango Festival features the mangoes of  Mexico.   I have no idea where the mangoes I buy from my neighborhood pop-up mango stands are from but they are all delicious.  When you are done at the Festival, drive through the […]

My brother had told me about this restaurant when it first opened, but I hadn’t made it by.  After it was written up in the Herald a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go by for a late lunch after showing properties on Miami Beach. The casual atmosphere, tasty food, and great service make […]
