A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."

"When you venture past Calle Ocho’s tourist traps, you’ll find the real backbone of Cuban Miami: its cafeterias and bakeries. (Karmen Bakery is so tiny that you might miss it if you don’t know what you’re looking for.) Order some of their affordable but oh-so delectable treats to go and enjoy them while gazing out over the water. Here, a traditional Cuban sandwich on fresh-baked bread with a drink goes for less than $10 total."
