News Cafe - A South Beach Staple

Head to News Cafe if you are trying to figure out where to eat in South Beach for a good lunch, a pit stop after playing at the beach, or a late night meal. They have a comprehensive diner style menu...you know, one that is really well rounded where usually everyone can find what they want. They are open 24 hours a day and have two bars, one with a window overlooking Ocean Drive and the beach, and the other in the back of the inside area. There are cool seating options: you can ask to sit front and center for the best people watching by the entrance, off to the side by the newstand to get the outdoor cafe feel under the trees with a roadside view, or inside to get out of the heat.

I would explain their food as good...not the best, but always a fair value and more or less what you'd expect from a reputable establishment. I'm trying to say that I'm never disappointed. Drinks are priced on the high end, but that's the norm on Ocean. And of course there is the 18% gratuity added to every check since there are so many visitors who lack tipping etiquette.

The pics displayed here are a black and white of the umbrellas served in the fruity drinks (not mine), one shot from across the street, and another of my brother eating a burger. I can't speak to it directly but it may have been frozen.
