Continue with GoogleYou live in South Florida. You should not be eating at the same six places.
Every Thursday, one short email: the new openings worth your money, the hidden spots the apps never surface, the cafecito and ventanita runs, and where to eat when it is midnight and everything is closed.

Three places to eat this week, and one to book for next
- Zak the Baker Wynwood · 295 NW 26th St The sourdough and the challah are the reason to go; the deli side does a pastrami that holds up. Weekday mornings are calm. Saturdays sell out of the good loaves before lunch.
- Tinta y Café Coral Gables · 1315 Ponce de Leon Blvd A proper cafecito and a pan con tomate for a few dollars, from a window you would walk past. Inside is small; take it to go and sit on Ponce.
- Oktoberfest Miami German American Social Club · 11919 SW 56th St Pretzels, schnitzel, liters of beer, and a dance floor that fills by 8. This is the second and final weekend of the year.
Next week: South Beach Seafood Festival, Oct 21–24. Tickets are cheaper this week than next.
This is the email. All of it.
Three picks, each with a reason, a price, and the right time to show up. Every place is pinned on the map further down so you can save it in one tap. If a week has nothing worth your money, the email gets shorter, not padded.
Sample issue. The places and dates are real. The newsletter is new, so this is the first issue as it will go out.
Saturday, handled by Thursday night
Thursday the email lands and you read it on the couch in four minutes. Saturday at 9:30 you are in line at Zak the Baker with a coffee, out by 10 with a loaf under your arm, walking 26th Street while it is still quiet. Sunday afternoon you are at the Oktoberfest tent with people you dragged along, and nobody had to search for anything. That is one weekend. It was not hard. You just knew.
How a place gets in
Nobody pays to be here, and nothing gets in from a press release. Here is the bar:
- We ate there. If we have not, it does not run.
- Worth a drive from another part of town. "Fine" does not make the list.
- Price and wait up front, and we say when to skip a place.
- No sponsored picks. If that ever changes, it will be labeled and kept separate.
Into something else too? Add it.
Check as many as you want. It is still one email on Thursday.
Before you hand over your email
Is this just a list of expensive restaurants?
No. Price range is noted on every pick, and a good portion of what we send is under $15. Some of the best food in Miami is served out of a window or a truck.
How often will you email me?
Once a week on Thursday. If we ever want to send something extra, we will ask first.
I do not live in Miami proper. Is this still for me?
Yes. Pick the Miami-Dade or Broward edition — or both. Most picks are worth a 20 to 30 minute drive, and we tell you when one is not.
Do restaurants pay to be in here?
No. If we ever run sponsored placements, they will be clearly labeled and kept separate from the picks.
What do you do with my email?
Send you this newsletter. That is it. We do not sell your data and we do not share your address with the restaurants. Unsubscribe any time.
Your next great meal is already open. You just do not know about it yet.
One email, every Thursday. Free.
Free forever. One click to leave. We would rather you go than ignore us.
