"For more than half a century, Miamians have been savoring the Chinese cuisine at Christine Lee's. According to Michael Mayo's post on the Facebook Group, Let's Eat, South Florida, "A recorded message on the restaurant's telephone number says that second-generation owner Mary Lee has decided to retire and the restaurant is closed effective immediately." A call to the restaurant confirms the news."
"For nearly a decade, Doce Provisions served Cuban favorites with a modern twist. The eatery's ropa vieja, lechon asado buns, and vaca frita tostones earned the intimate Little Havana spot a place in the Florida Michelin Guide. Alas, the restaurant has closed abruptly: The website is down, the phone number is disconnected, and the Michelin Guide's page simply says, "restaurant not found.""
"Still, September saw some closures - including a few that locals have loved for decades. A Calle Ocho staple for tacos since 1985, Taquerias El Mexicano has closed - as has its upstairs Dia de los Muertos-themed speakeasy, Los Altos, according to @lifestyle_miami. The neon-bathed restaurant downstairs had the vibe of a well-loved taco shop. Beyond a candy shop facade, however, lurked Los Altos - a speakeasy"
Miami's restaurant scene faces closures even as the city prepares for the busy season. Christine Lee's Chinese restaurant closed after second-generation owner Mary Lee decided to retire; the restaurant moved from New Jersey to Sunny Isles Beach in 1970 and later operated at Gulfstream Racetrack under Mary since 2018, with a slow summer and reduced race days possibly prompting retirement. Doce Provisions in Little Havana, once included in the Florida Michelin Guide for modern Cuban dishes, has closed abruptly with its website and phone disconnected and the guide listing it as "restaurant not found." Taquerias El Mexicano and its upstairs speakeasy Los Altos on Calle Ocho have also closed.
