The legendary Carmen Miranda said, “I say twenty words in English. I say money, money, money, and I say hot dog … I say turkey sandwich, and I say grape juice.”
Then again, she also liked to wear fruit on her head.
The local contemporary Carmen Miranda aims to please slightly more sophisticated palates with her new Out of the Blue cafe.
Yes, they have fruit (Muito Mango smoothie mixes honey, mango, rosewater, and yogurt) and sandwiches (like chicken baguette with tomato aioli, roasted pepper, avocado, and caramelized onion).
But the cafe also serves up three homemade soups daily, breads and pastries, and free Wi-Fi.
Order an Intelligentsia coffee and head to the retro patio, where live music will inspire three more words the Brazilian bombshell knew well:
Chica chica boom.
Out of the Blue, 2426 Northeast 2nd Avenue (305-573-3800).
