MIAMI HERALD: New Urbanite masters the art of dining

[cjnews]

Achange of scenery is always good, especially when that scenery involves rotating art exhibitions such as the one at the hip new eatery The Urbanite Bistro at 62 NE 14th St., where the concept of ``location, location, location'' takes on different meanings. We mean that in the best of ways. Located in the dodgy 'hood across the street from The Vagabond, The Urbanite not only features two bars and, based on our initial visit a few weeks ago, a cool, bluesy soundtrack, but also 25 domestic and European craft beers, more than 30 wines by the glass and creative cocktails. The food is fab, too. We loved the shrimp corn dogs and the Moroccan lamb sliders. Check it out Tuesday when the restaurant hosts a reception for the provocative artwork by artists Gabriela Sanchez-Vegas and Rudolf Kohn. Their Concrete Tears and City of Love, respectively, will show all month. Reception is 7-9 p.m. and comes complete with an Urbanite VIP card, which entitles each guest to a complimentary specialty cocktail.
