It was a Friday, and my sister and I wanted to celebrate our sisterhood with dirty martinis. After an extensive google search for the best dirty martinis in Miami (cheese-stuffed olives were required, no excuses), I found Botanico Gin via some very handsome dirty martini pictures. The wait for a table was over an hour, … Continue reading Botanico Gin – Best Dirty Martinis in Miami
I went back to the Shoma Bazaar to try some of their other vendors. Last time, I had Ella's Oyster Bar (which was excellent). Before getting into the food, let's talk drinks....I had the Pretty Pebbles, which I did not really care for. The drink was way too sour for my liking. To eat, my … Continue reading Shoma Bazaar
I went to Root & Bone for the first time and loved the vibe. I felt the bright environment would have been even better for brunch. However, it was still nice for a ladies night.

I have heard of this restaurant but did not try it out until recently. My first time went so well that I already went back. Both times were a success – filled with full tummies and happy memories. Not only is the food good and service exceptional, but their $10 combo is totally worth it. … Continue reading El Floridita Seafood Restaurant
Authentic French cuisine in Hialeah? I know, I was surprised by it too. La Fresa Francesa is a gem that deserves praise for its bohemian vibe and gourmet French eats. I promise that you will feel like you teleported to a restaurant in France. My parents went about a month ago on their date night … Continue reading La Fresa Francesa – Intimate Bistro with Gourmet French Classics in Hialeah
I arrived in Houston, Texas Wednesday afternoon for the NBMBAA conference with my 2020 MBA cohort. I was especially excited because I have never been to Texas before (besides catching connecting flights in Dallas). Although I have not heard stellar things about Houston, I was still interested in seeing what it had to offer. Due … Continue reading 3 Days in Houston, Texas
