Best Botanical Garden in Miami River

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."

"2000 Convention Center Dr, The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is a 2.6-acre urban green space in Miami Beach and was founded in 1962.* The Garden offers free admission and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m."

"Tucked amongst the verdant foliage and gurgling fountains of the Wynwood’s serene Sacred Space, Plant’s soothing aesthetic and bright, beautiful dishes are a perfect match for its surroundings. Thoughtful takes on global dishes dominate the menu, like Thai coconut ceviche, adobo-rubbed mamey asado and cannelloni composed of kale pesto and almond herb cheese. The restaurant’s ethical ethos extends to its ingredients – most of its produce is sourced from Paradise Farms, Plant’s certified-organic sister property located a few miles south in Homestead."

"Plant is an eclectic plant-based concept temporarily located within The Sacred Space Miami. Heralded by executive chef Horacio Rivadero and pastry Chef Veronica Manolizi, the restaurant prides itself on being the most sustainable in the industry. The innovative dishes are inspired by the nature of South Florida, and indeed each plate is a true form of art featuring only locally harvested produce."

"Despite its name, DIRT offers clean eating and great taste on one plate. Their farm-to-counter policy is what attracts vegans all over Florida and makes it one of the best vegan restaurants in Miami Beach. The majority of their menu is vegan, but they also offer vegetarian and paleo options."

"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)."

"Open every day from 1pm-5am since 1995, Abbey Brewing Co. is Miami Beach’s oldest and only brew pub. At this dive bar, sip one of BrewMaster Raymond Rigazio’s Abbey house beers—which are brewed at the Indian River Brewing Company, in Melbourne, FL—or choose one of ten special Belgian or American microbrews on tap, or hard-to-find Trappist Ales, British Barley wines, port wines and a wide assortment of micro-distilled fine spirits. No matter what you order, be sure break for a cigar and a dart game."

"No Miami beer list is complete without paying its due respects to the Abbey. During South Beach’s models and bottles heyday, The Abbey was brewing delicious hand-crafted beer from its perch off of Lincoln Road. Today, the space has expanded and evolved since its opening in 1995, and features four house taps (including the Immaculate IPA and Brother Aaron’s Quadruple), 10 guest lines, and a solid bar menu."

"EST.33 Thai Craft Brewery & Kitchen is set to opened early this year inside Brickell City Centre. The restaurant features Asian flavors that meet the distinctive techniques of American barbecue complemented by Thai craft brews. When we tried the creative eatery we were blown away by the flavors and service, all set in an open terrace on the fourth floor."

"33 is a Thai brewery and restaurant located in the Brickell City Centre. They serve things like red curry crab croquettes, lemongrass chicken, and pad Thai."

"The Tank Brewing Co. is one of the newer breweries in Miami, and it’s pretty impressive, too. Home to a 4,000 square-foot tap room that can host up to 600 people, go here for 16 different Miami-inspired brews on tap, like La Finca Miami, Freedom Tower, La Playita, Byronic Brown, Rye-Lingual, El Farito and more. When you need some food to soak up the alcohol, fill up on chicken chicharrones, wings, tostonnes, tempura cauliflower, ham croqueta preparada, guava manchego burger, bacon burger or the “Angry Vegetarian” and bone marrow fried chips from Twisted Fork Kitchen, which sits in-house at The Tank Brewing Co. 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, Bay A1, Miami, FL 33166."

"At The Tank, cigars and beer don’t make for such strange bedfellows. Clocking in at 25,000-square-feet, there’s plenty of room for brewing, drinking and then lighting up a stogie at the adjacent cigar lounge. From an English-style brown ale to a tropical pale ale, the brewery’s three-barrel system allows them to crank out a new beer every week."

"Bars Breweries Medley. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 4–6pm. Standout beer: El Farito IPA"

"Chef Shuji Hiyakawa's Wabi Sabi by Shuji is a favorite among Miamians who know about well-made sushi. The chef has now opened a chic Wynwood restaurant with restaurateur and art dealer Alvaro Perez Miranda, along with executive sushi chef Masayuki Komatsu, formerly of Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill. The restaurant serves up sushi, along with an expanded menu that includes agemono (deep-fried dishes), yakimono (grilled or pan-fried dishes), shirumono (soups), and zensai (appetizers)."

"We certainly wouldn’t be mad if Miami got itself a few more solid dim sum options - but until that day comes, you can find us at Tropical Chinese pointing to random plates being pushed through the dining room on carts the size of baby elephants. This Bird Road favorite is where you’ll find Miami’s best dim sum and a roast pork bun we occasionally dream about. Dim sum is served seven days a week until 3:30pm."

"A Miami institution since 1984, Tropical Chinese has been doling out dim sum since the local food scene was not much more than a croqueta. In true pushcart fashion, diners settle in with a warm cup of tea and watch the pork buns pass by. Can’t-miss bites include dumplings on dumplings, shrimp rolls, and roasted duck."

"Think upscale hawker hall-meets-speakeasy and you have Miami’s first Asian-themed marketplace, 1-800-LUCKY. One of seven stalls sitting behind a record shop, Lotus + Cleaver serves some of the best Asian cheap eats in Miami, including Chinese barbecue and wok classics. The specialty here is Peking duck (which you can see hanging from the ceiling above the stand), so you can’t go wrong with any of the steamed bun options, particularly the duck buns decadently topped with foie gras."

"A post shared by Miami Food Porn (@miami_foodporn) on Jul 23, 2018 at 7:07pm PDT. Lotus + Cleaver takes on a modern twist to Chinese cuisine, particularly Chinese barbecue. Their lead dishes include the char siu pork shoulder, roast chicken with ginger scallion sauce, pork belly buns, and fire-roasted Peking duck."
