  • South Beach High End Restaurants

    Hi, I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the best restaurants in South Beach? I need to find work as a server. I haven?t moved yet but need to secure a job. I would like to focus on Steakhouse?s/Steak & Seafood. But interested in all Finer Dining establishments. Particularly restaurants that would have a $50 per guest check average or higher.(higher the better)I am in my 20?s, have a professional appearance, great work ethic, & allot of restaurant experience.

    I am not familiar with the Hospitality job market in Sobe, so I was also wondering when the best time/times were to secure a job. High end restaurants can usually be hard to get into sometimes, any input or if any body knows if any are hiring? I can fly down for some promising leads..

    Thanks In Advance!!

    Rock the Bells’ raucous roar

    Rock the Bells’ raucous roar
    The crowd bellows its approval as A Tribe Called Quest and the Pharcyde turn in kinetic hip-hop sets at the annual Devore festival.

    You know a music festival is stacked to the gills with talent when Rakim, considered the father of modern hip-hop lyricism, is stuck playing the 2:30 p.m. slot in the scorching San Bernardino summer sun.

    ‘A Wedding’ at the Lobero Theatre
    William Bolcom’s comic work, based on a Robert Altman film, is hitched to an exceptional cast in Santa Barbara.

    SANTA BARBARA — Every wedding he ever attended was, in some way, a disaster, the late filmmaker Robert Altman claims in a featurette that accompanies the DVD of his 1978 comedy, “A Wedding.” The more wealth involved, of course, the greater the potential for madcap mishap.

    Article - Chic Hotel Bars
    If you’re looking for a change of scene, a bird’s-eye view of the city, or a Bond-worthy martini at 3pm, Tokyo’s design-savvy luxury hotels are just the ticket. Forget brass-studded Naugahyde chairs and watered-down highballs. These days, the hotel bar experience is more fun than merely funny. Internationally acclaimed designers have injected the stodgy hotel bar with real style, and skilled bartenders have revived the art of the properly mixed cocktail.

    1908 Olympics, Tokyo drunks and a hot summer
    London, July 14. — America and Great Britain captured most of the laurels in the first real business day of the Olympic sports. Twice the Stars and Stripes fluttered to the top of the staff in the Center of the arena, and the American enthusiasts who monopolized a section of the stadium, waved their flags and broke out in cheers, which, in a smaller field, would have been deafening. The honors were nearly even, for of the four events finished, the United States and the United Kingdom each won two gold medals. Great Britain, however, took three silver medals, while America got only one. Canada, Australia, Great Britain and Belgium each obtained a bronze medal.
