Bar plus arcade equals Barcadia
The Barcadia off Knox/Henderson is the place to indulge in both adult libations and your inner child. For the adult in you, Barcadia has a decent draught selection as well as an extensive selection of bottled imports. They also have some killer weekly specials and Sunday Brunch, complete with Mimosas and Bloody Marys.
For the kid in you, the Barcadia has over a dozen vintage arcade games, Skee Ball, and Jenga made out of giant pieces on the patio that make a loud crashing noise whenever someone loses.
The menu consists of typical greasy bar fare with a few twists thrown in for good measure, such as fried PB&J, fried deviled eggs and a falafel sandwich. For those watching their waistline the menu has six, yes, six, salad choices. Not too shabby for a menu that’s clearly geared towards soaking up alcohol.
Owner/Curator Amanda Fernandez-Leon Swears by The Restaurant at the Setai
“Picking a favorite restaurant in Miami is like picking your favorite star in the sky: an impossible feat,” Amanda Fernandez-Leon, owner and curator of Calix Gustav Gallery, told citybuzz. “But there is one restaurant that truly never fails- this is not just a restaurant, it’s The Restaurant at the Setai.”
Located in arguably the best hotel in Miami, 
The Restaurant at the Setai is pan asian cuisine that exceeds all expectations and prior experiences. As a Miami trendsetter and owner of one of Miami’s most avant-garde galleries, Amanda has a spot-on taste for what’s cooking in Miami, and especially for what’s sizzlin’ at The Restaurant.
“The menu is massive and intimidating for newcomers,” Amanda warns, but follow her favorites and you’re sure to have as fabulous experience as she does. “The Pecking Duck Salad with the sweetest shallots you’ll ever taste; nothing says Dim Sum like the melt-in-your-mouth Steamed Barbecue Pork Buns; the Pork Belly with dreamy Kimchi is unreal; the Lamb Curry is my pick for my last meal on Earth; and [finally] the Tandoor Jumbo Tiger Shrimp, so succulent it’s naughty,” Amanda recommends. With food that delicious and with so many options, she adds this advice, “Ladies, I don’t recommend wearing a tight dress.” Point taken.
*** Amanda Fernandez-Leon is the owner and curator of one of Miami’s most avant-garde galleries, the new Calix Gustav Gallery, in the trendy Wynwood Arts District. With an unbelievable taste for the unique, she has also established herself as a trendsetter in both the culinary and fashion worlds. Always decked to the nines, Amanda can be found giving tours at her gallery as well as dining at restaurants that are on the verge of becoming the next big thing.
Grafton Street Offers Authentic Irish Experience
Irish pubs in and around Boston are a dime a dozen, but authentic ones like Grafton Street Pub and Grille really stand out. Located in Harvard Square, this neighborhood hotspot was named after the cobblestone-lined shopping district in Dublin’s famed Temple Bar area. The restaurant relocated up one block in 2002 to a larger space in the heart of the square and now offers contemporary American cuisine for lunch and dinner seven days a week, including a Sunday brunch. From casual fare, including rustic pizzas and paninis, to classics such as fork and knife chicken and ale battered fish and chips, you will be hard pressed to find a better place to stop by for a pint and a great meal.
