HOT HERMANOS
Little Haiti isn’t exactly the most welcoming neighborhood. But Fiorito, a charming Argentine restaurant owned by two brothers from Cordoba, is worth venturing there, and luckily, it provides parking. Diners immediately feel like they aren’t in Miami when surrounded by the homey setting of random furniture including a rustic picnic table, candles and soccer memorabilia. Fans of the shuttered Dining Room in South Beach will be pleased to reunite with its talented chef. Warm up with pumpkin soup and its bits of creamy provolone. Portions are large, so split the homemade sausage sampler, and canelones stuffed with spinach and ricotta, and topped with chunks of cherry tomatoes. If you aren’t bursting at the seams, go for the dulce de leche flan.

CULTURE KING & KIDS
Speaking of Argentina, Buenos Aires gallery owner Daniel Maman opened his first U.S. location for Maman Fine Art in the Miami Design District. A big player in the Latin American art scene, he brings an impressive roster of artists like Leon Ferrari, Liliana Porter and Guillermo Kuitca, often whose works he sells at secondary market for hefty prices. For more culture, head to the National YoungArts Foundation’s Yellow Lounge tomorrow night. The hip, roving party that originated in Berlin pairs classical musicians with nightlife elements. The evening’s charged energy gives an idea of the cool programming and exhibits slated for the organization’s pending 3.5-acre campus designed by Frank Gehry.

FLIP OUT
Havaianas, one of Brazil’s most beloved exports in the form of cheap and chic flip flops, opened a boutique in South Beach. If you thought it was the brand’s first U.S. store, guess again—Huntington Beach, Calif., holds that claim to fame. Nonetheless, Brazilian tourists and second home owners have access to the state’s largest assortment for men, women and kids. Since interactive amenities are all the rage in retail, the store offers custom sandal stations to choose from 20 colors and/or decorations. It’s just the beginning of a massive rollout, with Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York among 100 locations in the U.S. alone.
