NOE Is Coming To Miami: South America's Iconic Sushi Bar To Open Its First US Location June 20, 2024 Share For the past two decades NOE Sushi Bar, named after its talented and culinary daring Chef/Co-Owner Noe Carmona, has maintained a well-earned reputation as a temple of Japanese and Latin American gastronomy at its finest. More than fusion and not Nikkei, a meal at NOE Sushi Bar offers diners a transportive journey, combining provocative flavors, textures and techniques for an experience wholly its own. Now, as the brand celebrates 20 successful years and close to three dozen acclaimed locations throughout Ecuador, Chef Carmona is ready to unveil the first U.S. location of NOE Sushi Bar in South Miami. Located at 5958 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33143 in the former Mi’talia space, the restaurant is slated to open July 2024 upon completion of a full renovation. At a young age Chef Carmona, the eldest of 10 siblings in a modest farming family in Ecuador, dreamed of getting to Quito. His culinary journey began at eight years of age, cooking rice to lend a hand at home. At 12, a restaurant job during school break ignited his passion for cooking and opened his eyes to the flavors and possibilities of different cuisines. Seven years later, he finally found himself in the country’s capital and despite numerous challenges upon arriving in Quito, including homelessness, Carmona's determination led him to Tanoshi in Hotel Oro Verde. There, he began as a dishwasher and worked his way up to a spot on the kitchen staff, where he was recognized for his relentless drive and work ethic. A few years later, he moved on to work alongside Japanese master chefs, sparking a lifelong love for Japanese Cuisine. A protégé of Master Chef Ken Namba's guidance, he grew to master Japanese Culinary techniques leading to the opening of his first NOE in 1994 in Quito. There, he introduced his signature style – blending Japanese and Ecuadorian Cuisine – and established himself as a trendsetting talent. “It’s a dream come true to bring NOE to the United States and no other city would make sense for our first U.S. location more than Miami,” says Carmona. “I’m excited for South Floridians to have a completely new dining experience.” Boasting a well-rounded menu of Hot and Cold Specialties, including: Traditional and Signature Maki and Sashimi Selections, NOE Sushi Bar will feature a combination of NOE Signatures as well as a handful of Chef Carmona creations unique to the 305. Signature must-haves include Noe Tataki – Tuna, Salmon, White Fish, Octopus and Semi-Roasted Filet Mignon, served with chef’s sauce; Mizutako – Grilled Octopus seasoned with Oriental Spices, accompanied by Vegetables; Filet Mignon Ramen – Traditional Ramen served with slices of torched Filet Mignon, Crunchy Vegetables and a Soft Boiled Egg; and Sake Yama Roll – A Roll wrapped in Potato Threads with Crab, Masago, Avocado and Cream Cheese, topped with Salmon, accompanied by Passion Fruit and Eel Sauces. Seating 140 between the patio and sleek dining room, complete with a newly-installed Sushi Bar, NOE Sushi Bar will undoubtedly become a destination in a market rich with residential and commercial interests. At a Culinary Crossroads Located at the vibrant intersection of US-1 and Southwest 73rd Street, Noe Sushi Bar will be a beacon of culinary innovation, where Japanese Sophistication will harmonize with Ecuadorian Zest. Perfectly positioned in one of Miami's most dynamic neighborhoods, our upcoming location isn't just a spot on the map—it symbolizes the confluence of diverse culinary traditions that our menu will celebrate, inviting diners to embark on a journey of discovery and taste. NOE Sushi Bar is located at 5958 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33143. The restaurant will be open daily for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. Telephone: (305) 306-3708; www.noesushimiami.com < Previous News Next News >

The 26th Annual Brunch For The Animals: Returns To Aventura Mall’s Level Three Venue Thu Mar 14 2024 16:13:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Linda Eder: One Night Only: Performing To Sold Out Crowds Throughout The World & Coming To Aventura August 22, 2024 Share Showcasing one of the greatest voices of our time, Linda Eder’s diverse repertoire spans Broadway, Standards, Pop, Country, and Jazz. When she performs “live” in concert, it is amazing to experience the ease with which she moves back and forth from one genre to another as if she were gifted with the vocal ability to perform each genre as well as all the others. Born in Tucson, Arizona and raised in Brainerd, Minnesota, Eder began her career right out of high school singing all around her home state, and she eventually landed a gig at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But it was her appearance on the 1987 season of “Star Search,” during which she won for an unprecedented 12 straight weeks, which attracted the attention of audiences and record companies alike. Eder launched her recording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon established a vital niche as America’s most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of Pop, Standard and Theatrical genres. She released two more solo albums before starring in the Broadway production of JEKYLL & HYDE beginning on April 28th, 1997. As the tragic character “Lucy” in this new musical, Eder blew the roof off New York City’s Plymouth Theatre eight times a week as she belted out her signature songs “Someone Like You” and “A New Life.” Her Broadway debut, for which she was rewarded with a Drama Desk nomination, sent her already rapidly rising star blazing across the sky securing her a spot as one of America’s most beloved singers and dynamic “live” performers. Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote, “What do we mean when we use the word perfection? The question arises every time I watch the pop singer Linda Eder.” After leaving Broadway, Eder’s recording career continued “full steam ahead” with her discography to date being composed of 18 solo recordings and numerous musical recordings. She focused on mostly Broadway, Standard and Pop music for many years, which highlighted her abundant vocal gifts as well as her skill for delivering dramatic, emotionally resonant interpretations of mostly familiar songs while making them her own. Her highly successful first Christmas album, CHRISTMAS STAYS THE SAME, is a perfect example of the way she is able to transform and interpret best loved Christmas music and make it her own without compromising the original. In 2008, Eder stepped outside the box and her familiar “wheelhouse” to record THE OTHER SIDE OF ME, a Country Pop blend of contemporary music, which included a song written by Linda herself. And, in June, 2010, she and Clay Aiken covered Roy Orbison’s “Crying” as a duet on Aiken’s album, TRIED & TRUE. In 2013, Linda established her own record company under the name Tressamail, Inc., and in that same year she released her first recording on that newly established label, the highly acclaimed CHRISTMAS WHERE YOU ARE. This CD features 12 tracks – six selected by her fans via social media and two originals from Eder herself. It also featured a unique twist on the classic, ”Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which Linda rewrote and recorded with her teenage son, Jake. It was to represent a classic mother-son debate over going outside to play in a snowstorm. Eder has released two additional recordings on her own record label. In 2014, she released her first ever “live” CD, LINDALIVE, which was recorded in Saratoga, New York before a wildly enthusiastic crowd. In November, 2015, she released RETRO VOLUME 1. This recording features 14 tracks written by Frank Wildhorn, Jack Murphy, Jason Howland, Leslie Bricusse, Nan Knighton, Baird Jarman, and Maury Yeston. It is filled with the kind of lush, sweeping Broadway-esque melodies that first introduced Linda’s voice to her many fans. In 2018, Linda recorded her 17th solo album, a Broadway/Standards CD entitled IF YOU SEE ME, with music for the title track written by her son, Jake Wildhorn, and lyrics written by Linda herself. She has also put out her first “behind the scenes” DVD entitled THE OTHER SIDE compiled from personal moments at work and at home over a three year period and culminating with the making of her new CD (IF YOU SEE ME). She has appeared on television numerous times. TrailMIX, her prime time Animal Planet special about singers with a passion for horses, was a natural extension of her love for animals and featured Linda interviewing fellow recording artists and performers Sheryl Crow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan, Rob Thomas, and Aerosmith’s Joe Perry. She has been featured on numerous PBS television concert specials including Clay Aiken’s Tried & True, Hallelujah Broadway, Linda Eder: The PBS Concert, Best of Broadway: Broadway The Leading Ladies, Best of Broadway: The Love Songs, Jim Brickman Plays The Disney Songbook, and more. Her 2001 Holiday Concert, Christmas Stays the Same, was broadcast on Bravo TV and continues to be a popular selling DVD. The concert stage remains the mainstay of Eder’s career. She has performed for sold-out crowds in venues across the country and throughout Europe. She has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, The Palace Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, Wolftrap, New York City’s Town Hall, Davies Hall, among many others. Always touring in great company, her collaborators have included the late Oscar-Winning Composer and Pianist Marvin Hamlisch, Emmy and Grammy Winner Michael Feinstein, and Conductor of the Boston Pops Keith Lockhart. Eder is happiest on stage singing for her audiences and spreading the joy she exudes. Linda Eder will be in Aventura for one night only, Friday, January 17th, 2025 at 8:00 p.m., tickets start at $67. VIP Tickets are available as an add-on at checkout and include a post-show meet & greet / photo opportunity with the artist.

In The Sunshine: Pembroke Park Commissioners Privately Met About Town Business November 25, 2021 Share Sunshine laws make meetings, records, votes, deliberations and other official actions available for public observation, participation and/or inspection. Broward Inspector General John W. Scott announced today that the Broward Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a final report finding that Town of Pembroke Park commissioners Howard Clark and Reynold Dieuveille violated Florida’s open meetings law (the Sunshine Law) when they met privately in the town hall gym to discuss a matter that the town commission took up the next day. At the time, Clark was the town’s Vice Mayor. He resigned from his seat on September 22nd, 2021, after continuously serving on the Town Commission for over 30 years. The OIG Investigation determined that, on September 22nd, 2020, Clark intentionally spoke privately with Dieuveille about what to do about another commissioner’s official town roles as clerk-commissioner and Police Liaison, given denigrating claims that had surfaced about the other commissioner. Town Hall video footage and Dieuveille’s subsequent statements to town employees corroborated Dieuveille’s interview with the OIG, in which he admitted to the meetings. Clark first approached Dieuveille to speak to him on September 21st, 2020 and again on September 22nd, 2020. At a commission workshop meeting held the next day, on September 23rd, 2020, Clark, using a letter from a former long-time commissioner, which raised the question of whether to remove the other commissioner from his special town roles or not. Clark then set two resolutions for a commission vote on October 14th, 2020, one to replace the other commissioner as clerk-commissioner and one to replace him as police liaison. Those votes ultimately failed. The OIG concluded that Clark knowingly and Dieuveille unknowingly violated Florida’s Sunshine Law that requires certain government business be open to the public, reasonably noticed to the public and recorded through minutes. For this, Clark committed a second degree misdemeanor and Dieuveille committed a noncriminal infraction. In a written response to the OIG’s preliminary report, Clark denied the report’s findings with a version of events the OIG did not accept. In accordance with its charter mandate, the OIG is referring this matter to the Broward State Attorney for whatever action that agency deems appropriate. The OIGs final report can be found at: https://www.broward.org/InspectorGeneral/Publications/20211115OIG20010MFinalReport.pdf < Previous News Next News >
