more Miami meals

So Sunday we had our usual big meal midday at Bellmont Spanish in Coral Gables followed by much later dinner at Sardinia in the hood.  

 Later to Sardinia- 

Then late night laundry in the hotel--- and the next day we met Larry after his morning at work - over at Garcia's on the river....

Then dinner in Coral Gables at an old standby-

Then we were done- we said our goodbyes to Larry and thanked him for his great chauffeur job. He works Tuesdays and we were off late in the evening for New Orleans.  We had lunch at th new Eating House location in Coral Gables.

then had drinks at a "football" bar- 

and took an Uber to the airport- where we ad crazy long walks to the gate. but we got to New Orleans by 9PM and checked into our "boutique" hotel in the quarter. It's in an historic building and could use some renovation but the room  is spacious.  So the last leg of our southern sojourn is starting. 

we head to Miami

So, on Thanksgiving Day we drove to Miami and dropped off the rental car and then took a cab to the hotel.  Larry picked us up for dinner at Drunken Dragon.  An unassuming place in a strip mall with a terrific menu.  We came here years ago around Christmas and have never missed it on any of our trips to Miami.  

The next day was rainy - we had lunch reserved for Yardbird.  We ran into Larry's long time friend Brian and his wife Lisa and daughter Simone and her husband Dante.  We were engrossed in catching up so I have no photos but for the menu-

because we had a big and long lunch we tried to go lighter on dinner at Mignonette...

the next day was a bit better weather so we had lunch outside at Pizzette and dinner outside at Mercato della Pescheria....

on to Mercato for dinner - touristy but great food and service
