Places to Eat in the Kendall Area of Miami

Okay, so this isn't a comprehensive list, and quite frankly, most of you don't have much time browse, but if you find yourself with hunger pangs . . . you've got plenty of options.

Places to eat in and around Kendall (Southwest Miami)

If you're afraid of roaming too far from the hotel, Kendall Drive (aka SW 88th Street) is essentially "main street" in the Kendall area. Most franchise restaurants can be found there. Now, we aren't food critics and most of these places are no brainers, but there are a few gems to be found here.

Note: If you happen to roam to New York City, check out Andrea Strong's blog - thestrongbuzz.com - Andrea is engaged to groomsman Craig Weiner and will be joining us at the wedding!
