"Since coming onto the scene in 2014, Blackbrick, aka Midtown Chinese, has racked up accolades from local and national publications for its modern take on regional Chinese cuisine. Chef Richard Hales offers a menu nearly as expansive as China itself. Dim sum options include delicate crystal shrimp dumplings, chicken siu mei, cumin-lamb dumplings and barbecued pork buns."

"MidtownWhat you're getting: "K’Dunk"Though most Miamians are as allergic to the words “get there early” as Rick Ross is allergic to broke, that’s about the only way to get one of these fresh-baked babies filled with chocolate, white chocolate, and peanut butter-filled pretzels. The secret’s out and if you go in after the lunch rush there’s no guarantee you’ll get one."

"Blackbrick is the self-described passion project of Chef Richard Hales. Locals may know Hales as the owner of the popular Korean-fusion hotspot Sakaya Kitchen. Where Sakaya is known for fun dishes like the KFC Korean fried chicken) and bao buns, Blackbrick has earned a reputation for fantastic dim sum."

"A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes."

The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 (George Merrick and Marjory Stoneman Douglas were members) continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, along with new ones."
