September 24 was a big afternoon for Cory Finot and Claude Postel, and — you might say — for MOCA Plaza and downtown North Miami.
As the owners of the new 210-seat Café Crème on the plaza, the French-born master chefs had pastries baking in the oven and were preparing for the crowds about to converge for their soft opening during La Gran Fiesta, North Miami’s third annual blow-out for Hispanic Heritage Month.
The full opening — liquor bar, full menu, and the rest — is targeted for mid-October.
