"Looking for a rooftop bar in Miami with stunning views of South Beach?. May we suggest Juvia?. Built atop a designer parking garage, you may be surprised to find an ultramodern space that doesn’t scrimp on luxury."

"Set atop the chains of Lincoln Road, Juvia is located in penthouse of the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage, offering picturesque views of South Beach from every angle from its outdoor terrace."

"If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot in South of Fifth - maybe to celebrate a special occasion or just the fact that you made it across the MacArthur in less than five minutes - Stubborn Seed is the best place to go. It’s a small spot that feels like an old-school cocktail lounge that ran into a steel mill, with lots of dark wood and metal pipes lining the leather booths. The reason you come here, though, is for the excellent food, which changes up regularly, but always includes lots of fresh seafood."

"SoFiThe tasting menu is all the rage at Top Chef’s season 13 winner Jeremy Ford’s Miami venture. With items that change constantly based on what’s in season, every visit to this alluring outpost is a titillating adventure for the taste buds. The kitchen is roughly the same size as the dining room, with its hustling crew on full display through glass windows."

"Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford is executing high-end meals at South of Fifth’s Stubborn Seed with dishes like a seared foie gras with pumpkin, crispy duck with creamy grits, and poached Maine lobster. The menu rotates constantly with plenty of seasonal a la carte options as well as eight-course tasting menus."

"A pretty pink photo spot, Big Pink is an ‘all-hours’ diner situated in Miami Beach. While the diner's exterior makes for a brilliant photo op, with its powder pink walls and hot pink Volkswagen Beetles lined up outside, the interior is equally as Instagrammable. Grab yourself some gourmet comfort food (we’ve got our eye on the mac n cheese), snap some pics and take in the dining experience."

"A classic chocolate cake never fails at any party, and Big Pink has been helping make celebrations more festive with its Chocolate Skyscraper for the past 23 years. At the South Beach diner, the tried-and-true creation is often ordered for the table and can serve two to four people per slice ($12.75). Forks will plunge deep into this four-layer feast, held together by a rich pudding."

"If you’re a pink lover like me, you must pay a visit to Big Pink while in Miami. This retro-style restaurant features a Pepto-Bismol-pink façade and belly-warming comfort food. I came purely for the gram/blog and unfortunately didn’t eat here."

"Located in the historic MIMO district of Miami and open for lunch and dinner, Blue Collar is a cozy restaurant that serves American comfort food in a casual setting. Owner/Executive Chef Daniel Serfer opened Blue Collar with the aim of serving the kind of food that he has always loved to eat in an inviting atmosphere, and he has succeeded in doing just that. If you are looking for romantic date night ideas in Miami, this is a great place to visit."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Little Haiti / Lemon City. Blue Collar’s portions are to be both admired and feared. Chef Daniel Serfer’s cozy MiMo spot apparently swore a blood oath to never send a patron home hungry and has been making good on that promise with delicious Caribbean, New Orleans and Jewish comfort food."

"The Local House serves up a seafood-centric menu in this lovely restaurant located in the Sense Beach House Hotel. The decor is decidedly ocean chic, with model ships on display, rustic wood- paneled bars, and seating, tables, and light fixtures that would look more at home on a yacht than on land. Guests can peruse the breakfast menu while enjoying a Bloody Mary, Kir Royale, glass or a pitcher of mimosa or Bellini, or one of The Local House’s other great breakfast cocktails."

"The Local House restaurant, located within the boutique Sense Beach House hotel in Miami Beach is a romantic, Hampton-inspired restaurant, serving Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant’s Specialty Drink program has been recognized for its..."

"My friend and I was on vacation in Miami fond the Local House on our gps app. This restaurant deserves 5 stars (food, service, ambiance, noise level etc)."

"The newly-opened seafood locale is created by famed restaurateurs and couple Janine Booth and Jeff McInnis, located in the gorgeous Sunset Harbour neighborhood, just steps away from the water. The quaint, beachy restaurant pays homage to the famous Stiltsville homes out at sea in Key Biscayne. Walking into the breezy, relaxed destination transports you to the island life of Key West, and offers a creative selection of fresh seafood dishes utilizing locally-sourced ingredients."

"This nautical spot by Top Chef vets Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth is one of our favorite outdoor dining spots in Miami—and for good reason. Catch us on the patio, indulging in the crispy whole yellowtail snapper, lemon-dusted fried chicken and chilled watermelon and pickles all while staring at the sunset. 1787 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach; 786-353-0477 or stiltsvillefishbar.com"

"Appealing to both the health-conscious and the self-proclaimed foodie, Soul Tavern is the first plant-based gastropub in Miami. Located in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood, this spot serves vegetarian and vegan comfort food. Dine alfresco in the Zen patio or slide up to the bar and enjoy local brews."

"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants American Brickell. Though some may see American Social as more of a bar (especially on the weekend, when Brickell’s young and restless drink like fish) this Lauderdale import has a kitchen that deserves respect. If the weather’s nice, grab a stars-and-stripes couch on the covered patio and order away: fried chicken and waffles with bourbon mascarpone, salmon burgers, truffle mac and cheese and more filling choices."

"Ok, so you won’t get to enjoy it with half of the Florida State class of 2014 surrounding you, but depending on your allegiances that might be a good thing?. Either way, it’s tough to beat the gooey mix of parmesan, Vermont cheddar, and cave-aged gruyere mixed with flame-broiled steak.Cost: $20.25; order takeout (which is 20 percent off!) by calling 305.223.7005 and delivery through Uber Eats, Grubhub, and DoorDash"

"Mary Brickell Village, 900 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33130, USA. The super-trendy Mary Brickell Village is home to a variety of bars, restaurants, boutiques, and night clubs. Fado Irish Pub is one of its residents."

"The Biltmore’s 1926 in Coral Gables offers endless photo-ops all the way from its Towering façade to its sprawling gardens and colonnades. This historic landmark is the perfect spot for going crazy with your Instagram shoot and endless possibilities!"

"Many locals state that the hotel is haunted but the gardens are not. The place is whimsical and great if you want something else than palm trees. This place belongs to another era and it will stand out on your feed."

"An original stand of unadulterated South Florida jungle, Simpson Park is a preserve of old growth hammock, the exact same stuff that blanketed South Florida thousands of years ago, just left alone from development. Within stands a simple, serene pavilion designed by architect Chad Oppenheim."

"1945 Hollywood Boulevard Located in the heart of the Historic District in Downtown Hollywood, Anniversary Park is beautifully landscaped with magnolia and oak trees, bamboo and flowering shrubs. The park offers benches and game tables as well as a shaded and turfed play ground area for toddlers and children."

"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."
