So my NYC experience is Buddakan, Hillstone, LAVO, DINER in Williamsburg, Foodswings in Williamsburg & Lombardi's. They're all pretty great, but I can name very very competitive restaurants for each of them in Miami (Scarpetta, J Alexander, Prime Italia, Gigi in Wynwood & choices in Brickell).

I'm not saying the food is better than NYC, you guys win on sheer volume, I'm just saying it's damn good & really easy to find (unlike the suburbs I grew up in)!
