Model Cindy Prado’s favorite Miami hot spots

Model Cindy Prado's favorite Miami hot spots

In-demand model Cindy Prado travels more than 150 days a year.

Although she loves the adventure, the Cuban American influencer (with 2.7 million followers on Instagram and 6.1 million likes on TikTok) can’t wait to get back home to Miami — and not just because she owns the runway during the city’s Swim Week. “We have beautiful high-end restaurants, nightclubs and 24-hour parties,” she tells Alexa. “It’s impossible to get bored in this city.”

When the social media maven isn’t busy overseeing her successful fitness platform, the Prado Program, she’s indulging her passion for food as a part owner of three Miami restaurants (Miss Crispy Rice, Sushi OG and Papi Churro), all housed inside Oasis Wynwood .

Who better to ask about the hottest spots in Magic City? Here’s the strutter’s must-hit list.

“This is my go-to casual bar for a drink with friends. I have started and ended many great nights here.”

“Miss Crispy Rice has everything from the more traditional spicy tuna to crispy rice topped with scallops and A5 Wagyu beef. It’s one of my favorite places to go catch up with my girlfriends and eat incredible food.”

“As soon as you walk in, the smell alone — of sandalwood, cedar and iris — tells you you’re on vacation, and their light, earthy décor is so relaxing. The pools are also beautiful, and the hotel has great dining options.”

“For a trendy night out, Dave Grutman’s restaurants take the gold. I most frequently go to Komodo — I love the wild mushroom lo mein and truffled honey salmon. At Papi Steak I order the Wagyu pastrami, latkes, caviar baked potato, the Papi Steak tomahawk — and cocktails, of course! They are the best for a fun night out, to spot celebs, listen to fun music and get the night started if you’re looking to go out later.”

“This is the perfect date spot. The Italian restaurant has a super romantic atmosphere with soft ambient light and Italian music playing on their outdoor garden terrace — sometimes, they even have a violinist. The food is great as well.”

Dal Plin, 140 NE 39th St.

“My favorite Italian casual spot is Dal Plin. I order the pomodoro bucatini topped with burrata [pictured]. It’s my go to take out restaurant. The owners are a husband and wife from Italy, and they make their pasta fresh every single day — you can tell they put their heart into it. I love supporting a small business, so I go to them when craving pasta … which is very often.”

“Our specialty is ice cream sundaes with churros. We have a range of crazy-amazing combinations, such as cookie dough ice cream with dulce de leche-filled churro or a guava-and-cheese churro sundae. It’s just insane. Insanely good!”

“My second home! It’s a small, boutique gym where pretty much everyone knows each other, and nothing beats the feeling of working out with people that become like a second family — you always have a workout buddy.”

“South Beach is the most famous beach for a reason. It is pretty, and there are so many great hotels around that you can get drinks at or rent their lounge beds on the sand, giving you a variety of activities to take part in.”

Committee week in Florida’s Capitol: Welcome to the festival of ignorance

Image
Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Seems Sen. Joe Gruters, R-$ara$ota, who also is chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, was intimately involved with a plot to quash the Democratic vote. Remember that “ voting reform ” bill the governor signed on “Fox and Friends” last May? The one that restricts access to ballot drop-boxes, limits vote-by-mail applications, forbids giving people standing in long lines a bottle of water, and lets partisan poll watchers police canvassing boards? Even though Florida ran an immaculate election in 2020, Republicans goose-stepped in time with the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and claimed with straight faces they merely wanted to prevent election “fraud” — which is about as common as polar bears in Miami. (What fraud there was, was courtesy of the GOP .) Joe Gruters ...

U.S. House GOP would make it easier for feds to give public lands away to states

Image
U.S. House Republicans included in the new rules for the chamber they passed this month a provision meant to make it easier for Congress to give away public lands. The provision is a fairly technical piece of the 55-page  rules package . It affects internal House accounting and requires that anytime Congress were to give any federal lands to a state, municipality or tribe, it would not be counted as a loss to the federal budget. House Republicans had an identical rule when they controlled the chamber from 2017 to 2019. Advocates and critics agree the measure would be helpful to any effort by the House to transfer federal lands to states. But they disagree about the wisdom of such giveaways. Republicans and conservative groups see states as preferable stewards of most public lands. Those closest to the land are in a better position to make decisions on how to manage them than those in Washington bureaucracies, they say. Environmental groups and Democrats see federal divest...

Democratic governors press U.S. Senate to act on voting rights legislation

Image
WASHINGTON — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and 16 other Democratic governors are urging the U.S. Senate to pass two bills that aim to protect voting rights. Both measures need 60 votes to advance under Senate rules but have been stalled by Republican opposition in the evenly divided Senate. “Without decisive action by the federal government this year to protect voters’ access to the ballot and ensure the integrity and transparency of our elections, the voices of Americans across the country, especially Americans of color, will be suppressed,” the governors wrote in a Monday  letter  to U.S. Senate leadership. Governors who signed the letter include Jared Polis of Colorado, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Steve Sisolak of Nevada, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Kate Brown of Oregon, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Tony Evers of Wisconsin, among others. One bill, known as the  John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2...
