Any Good New York Style Pizza in Miami?
Anthony's is excellent pizza (both the original Ft. Lauderdale location on Federal Highway, and the location on Biscayne Blvd in North Miami Beach. I also like Cafe DiBono's pizzas (and their other food is excellent as well). Mario the Baker has always been good, although I haven't been there recently. Steve's Pizza is also a favorite (maybe it's just nostalgia).
I don't put Pizza Rustica in the same category as these others, simply because it is not pizza in the traditional sense. I do, however, find it to be delicious (especially after a night on South Beach, although it is still excellent when sober).
P. J. Clarke's: A Pub That Doesn't Serve a Pub Burger
I completely agree with this review of PJ Clarke's, which in my opinion doesn't always get the love and praise it deserves (while places that serve burgers not nearly as good, like a certain place near the meatpacking district, for example, often get way more than they deserve). I also think that 6 ounces is the perfect size for a burger, I don't enjoy the challenge of fitting 8-10 ounce burgers into my mouth or (especially) in the case of the latter, finishing them. For me, the cadillac (bacon cheeseburger, american cheese of course) with raw onion is perfection on a bun.
Also, regarding the "obnoxious ex-frat boys become lawyers / finance dudes and their female alter ego squawking career chicks", if they can appreciate this burger, then they can't be that bad.

Ate there last night - overall it was excellent. The Blanc Dog, although it was missing the snap of a natural casing, was still delicious. The pork toasts were very good but almost so rich that I could not have more than one. The lamb and olive sausage was very good, although it paled in comparison to the sausages on the chacroute plate. The two real winners last night, however, were the ribs and the burger. The ribs were extremely meaty and perfectly tender while the meat stayed on the bone until it was gently pulled off. The burger is much better than resto's, as it tasted beefier and was cooked to temperature (I just can't deal with the whole "we don't cook our burgers to temperature, but they usually come out medium-well" thing). I'll definitely go back.
