Here, you’ll find a bevy of hot items (you can smell the crispy-skinned chicken fresh out of the fryer all the way from the dairy aisle) plus a decked-out sub station. Choose from either Publix brand deli meats and cheeses or splurge for Boars’ Head and while the meats might be delicious, the order that reigns supreme will always be the chicken tender sub."

"One of the first arts organisations to open in Miami's Wynwood neighbourhood – which has gone from being almost derelict to a thriving arts and design hub, the non-profit Locus Projects(pictured above) is a mainstay of the local art scene. Founded in 1998 by the Miami-based artists Elizabeth Withstandley, Westen Charles and COOPER (the always all-caps artist name of sculptor Brian Cooper) the space invites local, national and international artists to create site-specific installations. Exhibitors have included New York-based sculptor Nancy Davidson, a video installation by Los Angeles-based artist Fern Vargas Vargas, and an immersive experience by Laura Marsh."

"Art is for all and with the same mission in mind, in 1998, three renowned artists namely Western Charles, Cooper, and Elizabeth Withstandley together created the non-profit art exhibition space in Miami the Locust Projects. Located just north of Wynwood, the Locust Projects showcase an array of contemporary art mingled with experimentation, bringing in the front the raw talents of exceptional visual artists. Inviting national and international artists, this longest-running non-profit art space also curates summer public programs, summer art intensives, and grants to local artists."

Go ahead and splurge, we won’t tell anyone."

"One of the OG Miami donut shops, Mojo Donuts’ first shop was in Pembroke Pines, but made its way to Miami a few years ago — and added fried chicken to the menu. At this doughnut shop, guests can expect a larger than life menu of doughnuts each day with fun rotating flavors like the Esmeralda doughnut, which is a raspberry glazed donut covered in Nutella and dunked in crushed Oreos with strawberry mousse and a strawberry drizzle.

"With locations in both Miami and Pembroke Pines, Mojo offers the perfect pairing in two area codes and aren’t we lucky. This award-winning shop regularly sells out and it’s no wonder; each doughnut here is its own extravagant work of art. A a dozen of their gourmet doughnuts will put you back $27, but it’s worth every penny."
