50 Places to Eat in Miami Before You Die
"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."
"Area 31 is a local favorite located on the 16th floor of the EPIC hotel. The restaurant itself is outdoors, and the elevation gives visitors breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The elegant menu is seafood based, serving only the freshest fish and more – check out the raw bar, ceviche dishes, and shrimp cocktails."

"Bars Cocktail bars Brickell. This Brickell hotspot can have a line out the door on weekend nights and Friday happy hour. Brave that line and you’ll be rewarded with 360-views of the city (40 floors up!), pricey (but tasty) cocktails and a swank crowd."
"On the 40th floor of the East Miami hotel at Brickell City Centre, you’ll find a lush rooftop garden bar stocked with all the good stuff. Think: truffle pistachio tataki and wok-tossed edamame paired with lychee blossom cocktails and rosé champagne. Plus, the view is to die for."
"Just north of the South Beach fray, The Broken Shaker is a laid-back, outdoor lounge in a palm tree-lined courtyard with string lighting overhead and eclectic patio furniture. The creative cocktail menu changes constantly and features fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs and homemade syrups, infusions and bitters. Take the Dutch Kills cocktail, for example, which is made with Bombay Dry gin, star anise, fennel seed reduction, fresh citrus and pineapple juice."
"What began in 2012 as a pop-up bar has flourished and matured into one of the most popular spots in Miami Beach. This courtyard oasis, equipped with twinkling lights, table tennis, and mismatched patio furniture, offers a roster of cocktails that change according to the season and available fresh ingredients. Curb your hunger with bites such as Korean chicken tenders and a Cuban sandwich."
"This is free to charge a place where you can fresh n up with the entire schedule that you are having. However, this is the well-known Miami cocktail bar which is a place in the outskirts of the beach. On the other hand, there are rooms for tourists to stay for some time that they want."
"Moreover, people usually ask what to bring in when you are trapped on the desert island. However, when you are visiting Miami and stuck in the desert then it is sure that you will find a bar where you can enjoy it. Gramps is the best bars in Miami which are available in the deserts where people usually go."
"From the outside, Gramps is an unassuming bar promising only air conditioning, cold beer, and cocktails. But Gramps delivers much more than it promises. The ever-evolving bar has weekly programming of live concerts, trivia, bingo, and drag shows."
"Located in the heart of Wynwood in Miami, Gramps is a bar that also features live music, stand-up comedy, DJs, cultural events, and merriment."
"Brick remains a Wynwood favorite, often drawing lines around the block on weekends and Art Walk nights. It’s a bar that celebrates dancing yet keeps the atmosphere relaxed enough that you wouldn’t call it a club. With indoor and outdoor spaces, it gives you plenty of room to bust a move while sipping a craft beer or two."
"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants South Beach. Willy Wonka has nothing on this South Beach sugar emporium. Up front, the bulk bins overflowing with sweets and adorable rubber duckies are sure to lure little ones in, but it’s the brasserie in the back that cinches the deal."

"Hop aboard for a fun 90-minute sightseeing cruise that takes you past waterfront mansions, Port Miami, Fisher Island and other highlights. See captivating views of the Miami skyline while enjoying beverages and light snacks."
"Barnes Park is located on Bird Road near the Palmetto, offering a string of trails, peaceful enclaves, and various activities."
"Start your Wynwood adventure at the Wynwood Walls, home to dozens of murals by the world’s top street artists. The murals change regularly, so the next time you visit Miami, many of them will be different. It’s easy to spend an hour or more wandering through the murals and the galleries connected to the Walls."
"Our last day was spent at the creative Wynwood Walls art exhibit. Beautiful mosaics are spread across a few blocks on streets and on buildings, even on the sidewalks!"
"There are good cookies and then there are cookies you would brave traffic for. Cindy Lou’s is the latter, offering a selection of gooey, delicious options (like butterscotch walnut and lemon cloud) that are guaranteed to be some of the tastiest you’ll ever try. But the best part has to be the passionate baker, Cindy Kruse, who can be found spreading her baked-goods gospel all over Miami."
"The ultimate sweet spot in Little River, Cindy Lou’s Cookies, guests can order individual cookies, cakes, brownies, bars, and more for a sugar rush that’s bound to last all day. Cindy Lou is also sending boxes of cookies to hospitals around the city and taking donation orders, and with each donation she will match cookie for cookie and handle delivery.

"Inspired by the four ‘T’ cities — Tel Aviv, Thong Sala, Tokyo, and Tulum — the Upper Buena Vista outdoor mall is full of photo opportunities. With many hidden spots boasting beautiful Instagram backgrounds, you’ll have to explore the entire premises to discover them all. We won’t keep you guessing too much, though — here are some of our favorites:"
