A shiny South Beach steakhouse that exudes wealth and exclusivity. You’ve heard this one before. But even though The Joyce is expensive, has a doorman, and a Picasso on the wall, it follows through once you’ve taken a seat. The food is detailed, the service is skilled, and it all complements a room where you can’t help but feel a little famous. photo credit: Michael Pissariphoto credit: Michael PissariThe Joyce doesn’t feel like a restaurant.

On the shelves of B&M Market, you’ll find a row of mason jars filled with a crimson liquid dotted with pepper seeds. The unnamed Caribbean pepper sauce is made and bottled in-house by B&M’s chef. It is her own proprietary blend and it is an addictively painful masterpiece. It’s just as flavorful as it is spicy (and it is very spicy). There’s a quick slap of heat up front followed by a savory burn that lingers for a few moments before you inevitably spoon more of it over whatever you’re eating.

A long walk down the North Beach boardwalk is the best thing a Miamian can do on a sunny afternoon. The second best thing is to end that walk with a sunset dinner at Sushi Bichi. This outdoor restaurant is directly across from the beach and has a long menu of sushi rolls, a crunchy chicken karaage sandwich, and more mostly Japanese small plates. While the food is good and the service is great, the point of this place is to sit outside and let the ocean breeze gently stroke your face.

If you love dive bars and just got word that your flight out of PBI has been delayed by three hours, come here to kill some time. Foster's Shak is right next to the Palm Beach International Airport, which explains the model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. Most of the space is taken up by a rectangular bar, where you can have a seat and make (or avoid) eye contact with strangers. There are two pool tables that cost $2 per game and the bar allows smoking inside, so prepare to get smelly.

D’s is basically fancy Flanigan’s, and we mean that as a compliment. There are golden lamps on every table, and the walls are lined with framed autographed jerseys of famous athletes instead of old wrinkly dollar bills. This Fort Lauderdale spot is located directly next door to its sister restaurant, Daniel’s, an excellent steakhouse. But here, you should take advantage of D’s double smashburger, which has an impressively thick slab of bacon that peeks out from the bun.
