Michelle Bernstein's new namesake restaurant (6927 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-759-2001).
Hoy Como Ayer
A dance club that's "as small as my closet, but it's awesome," says Bernstein. The Spam Allstars play funk/Latin/ hip-hop here most Thursday nights (2212 SW Eighth St., Miami; 305-541-2631).
La Camaronera fish market
Counter service only for the best fried fish, shrimp and spiny lobster in town (1952 W. Flagler St., Miami; 305-642-3322).
Maximo Gomez Park
Cuban old-timers play heated games of dominoes in what's known locally as Domino Park; it feels like it belongs in Havana (SW Eighth St. and 15th Ave., Miami).
Julian Chang Boutique
Besides creating couture for the city's Latin luminaries, this Peruvian-born designer makes sexy ready-to-wear clothes with handcrafted details (1665 Michigan Ave., Miami Beach; 305-538-2242).
