New Times started life as a small fortnightly newspaper in late 1987, back when the Miami metropolitan area was served by two dailies, populated with aging retirees, begging for tourists, and struggling to invent a place called South Beach. And, of course, it all moved to a Latin beat. Miami New Times has become the region's essential compendium of journalism and information for residents and visitors alike. Find the best places you've never heard of. Our intrepid journalists sort out all the best restaurants, shops, and businesses, and report on the news that matters.
