We were in Miami for a night had dinner at Wayan, an Indonesian restaurant from Cédric and Ochi Vongerichten.

The Court Square Diner has been featured in film and television shot in New York City, but it’s also home to classic dishes like disco fries. I took a trip there with my four-year-old in late November.
