"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."
"Located on the 16th Floor of the Kimpton Epic Hotel, one of the best hotels in Miami, Area 31 is a popular happy hour spot with gorgeous views overlooking sparkling Miami waterways and downtown Miami. The food is locally sourced with a seafood-centric menu with a Mediterranean flavor. At the bar, you’ll find seasonal cocktails and an international wine list."
"Whisk yourself away to the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel and discover the excitement at Area 31. Feast on Korean barbecue steak tacos and Spanish croquetas with a glass of Merlot and gaze toward the downtown Miami skyline."
"Another influencer hotspot, Sugar rooftop bar and lounge is brimming with photo opportunities, along with a delectable selection of Asian-inspired cocktails and tapas. Situated on the 40th floor of the EAST hotel, this secret rooftop garden boasts panoramic skyline views of the city — an ideal place to watch the sun set.

This intimate, tropical outdoor bar that lives inside the Freehand hostel has become a must-visit for any informed drinker passing through the city. Thankfully, the bar hasn’t lost any of its magic over the years and remains the North Star of Miami cocktail culture."
"On Ocean Drive, the sweets-centric spot Sugar Factory serves a signature devil's food cake that's sinfully delicious. The cake is fluffy, flavorful, and layered with a sweet and bitter blend of dark and milk chocolate mousse, dressed in bittersweet chocolate fudge sauce, and adorned with delicate chocolate pearls. Devour a large slice for $16, or snag a whole cake for $40."
"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."
"One of the most popular Peruvian restaurants in town, CVI.CHE 105 is huge contemporary restaurant with minimalist white furniture, original art on the walls, and vivid touches of color from Peruvian textiles and art pieces. Very hip and modern, this downtown place is filled with the young and beautiful, who come to see and be seen but also to taste the restaurant’s renowned ceviche and other traditional, authentic Peruvian dishes such as aji de gallina, which has pieces of shredded chicken breast with pecans, milk, Peruvian yellow pepper, cream, piso bread, and parmesan cheese. Most of their interesting cocktails are made with pisco, but they also have nice wines by the glass or bottle."
"Cvi.Che 105 is a popular Peruvian eatery based on Lincoln Road, and it is known for its delicious ceviche and classic cocktails, all of which is served in a stylish, art-inspired space that attracts a trendier crowd. Start with stiff pisco sours before making your selection from the menu, which features a range of small appetizers, ceviches, and tiraditos, traditional mains such as saltados and tacos, and fresh seafood. Desserts include creamy mousses and rich cheesecakes while the drink menu is packed with signature cocktails, Peruvian beers, and various soft drinks."

It’s generally good value and for most people, this restaurant is a place where you can sample delicious Peruvian dishes at affordable rates."
"Topping the list is the South Beach outpost of local Florida chain Gelato-go. Located at 458 Ocean Drive in South Pointe, it's the highest rated gelato spot in Miami Beach, boasting 4.5 stars out of 214 reviews on Yelp. Yelpers especially recommend the gelateria's dulce de leche and pistachio flavors, and suggest getting scoops in a bowl instead of a cone during hot weather."

"Italian Restaurant, Coffee Shop, and Ice Cream shop in Miami Beach, serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night eats"
"Review: "It truly is one of Miami's best kept secrets. The point is so beautiful ...". Type: Tourist attraction. Near The Kampong, National Tropical Botanical Garden:"
"If you need to escape Miami’s madness, consider a green day in one of the country’s largest tropical botanical gardens. 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."
