Loan officer by day, backgammon hustler by night, professional chewer by all hours. These are the spots I rate out of 10 like I'm underwriting a loan — ambiance, flavor, vibe, the whole application. Half of these I found stumbling out of Allapattah warehouses pretending I understood the art, starving, needing arroz con algo immediately.
