Since my husband and I moved to Miami four years ago, the Design District has gone from the place we visited a few times looking for furniture to a place we frequent for its off the beaten path restaurants, bars, and cool vibe. Locals have started referring to it as the “new South Beach”; and indeed, more than one of SOBE’s hot restaurants will be making the Design District their new home. I recently heard that the restaurant Pacific Times, which closed its doors on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach will be opening in the Design District soon.<\/p>\n
One of our new favorite spots is Michael’s Genuine. Last time we were there on a Wednesday night for dinner, and the place was bustling with people. The chef, Michael Schwartz, prints a different menu every night and categorizes his meals into small, medium, large, and large enough to share. On that specific visit we enjoyed a breaded artichoke appetizer, a duck pizza, and for dessert, a lemon polenta cake with caramelized tomatoes and plums which were all delicious. The restaurant has a full bar including a broad selection of premium beers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
