Get food anytime you desire at the 24-hour eatery that is News Café. What started as a sidewalk meeting place to pick up a coversation and maybe a book or newspaper as well, News Cafe has been a top spot in Miami for almost 25 years. In the beginning, News Cafe was a small establishment serving mostly simple salads, sandwiches, coffee and fruit juices, but over the years they've expanded to a full kitchen, bar, redesigned retail space and even more outdoor seating. If you're digging a laid back setting, News Café is the spot for you, no matter what time it is.

If you find yourself in South Florida during stone crab season (October 15th - May 15th), a stop at Joe's Stone Crabs on South Beach is absolutely-repeat, absolutely-mandatory! This former lunch counter opened in 1913. Joe's Stone Crab is more than a seafood restaurant; it's a Florida landmark and institution. Joe's started out as nothing more than a humble seafood stall on the beach, and has evolved into a prestigious restaurant, well-known around the world. The stone crab claws dish is to credit for Joe's fame. Although Joe's serves a very wide range of seafood, this is the dish you will want to try if you are looking for the ultimate Joe's experience. Cheap it is not, but if you are looking for a dining experience with a genuine history, and quality dishes, this is one restaurant you do not want to miss.
