Cheeseburger Baby: What can we say about this grease pit that any self respecting South Beach resident doesn’t already know? They are open and delivering clogged arteries till 6 in the freakin’ morning on the weekends and till 5am on weekdays They always forget the mayo and sometimes your drink, but their to-die-for special oregano and salt seasoning on their burgers and fries make you forget about all that as soon as you take a bite.
Cheeseburger Baby: 1505 Washington Ave, Miami Beach; 305-531-7300.
Yummy Chinese & Sushi Bar: If you’re in hurry and hungry, then this is the place for you. Their ample proportions and nifty little single serving trays coupled with the fact that they can be anywhere in 15 minutes makes this place a winner. Seriously, you won’t believe how fast they will get to you. They also make the most delicious house duck sauce imaginable.
Yummy Chinese & Sushi Bar: 1671 Alton Rd. Miami Beach; yummysobe.com.
Gino’s Pizza & Brew: It’s late, your possibly inebriated and you’re craving a slice of pepperoni like it’s nobody’s business. Well, night owl, rest assured Gino’s has you covered. They have locations spread out around the beach and of course they have more than just pizza to offer. Granted, we’re not talking gourmet here, but at 4am and in your condition, who cares? Besides, it’s not like you have a lot of options left. Oh, did we mention the free garlic rolls? There are delish as they fattening.
Gino’s Pizza & Brew: Various Locations; Miami Beach; 305-531-0069.
Big Pink: Oh, there’s just something about watching the pink VW’s Beetles cruising down Ocean Drive on their way to bring us some yummy treats. Talk about an expansive menu; this place has everything from meatloaf to monster-sized salads. Their wood burning oven also makes a wicked, albeit overpriced, personal pizza. Maybe that’s the reason Matt Damon, Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias make this place a regular haunt.
Big Pink: 157 Collins Ave, Miami Beach; 305-532-4700; bigpinkrestaurant.com.
M & B Liquor: The streets of South Beach are one giant DUI trap on the weekends. One way the locals get around getting into the car after finishing a bottle or two of a fine spirit is to call this place. It’s a little more expensive than going yourself, but priceless when compared to potentially saving your life. Just call them up and tell them in your best non-slurred speech what you desire and in about an hour you will have a tasty refill knocking on your door. So, drink responsibly—call this place.
M & B Liquor: 814 Alton Rd.; Miami Beach; 305-532-8300.
