Best Botanical Garden in The Crossings

"Option #2 – Miami Beach Botanical Garden This lovely oasis in the heart of South Beach showcases a variety of tropical blooms. Special events such as concerts, art exhibits and a green market take place at Miami Beach Botanical Garden throughout the year. Come see collections of orchids, palms, bromeliads, flowering trees and the lovely Japanese Garden."

"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)."

"Chef Irides Garcia brings authentic French cuisine to the vibrant Miami center in this quaint café, where gourmets enjoy homemade soups, village pies and delicious salads. On weekends, the atmosphere becomes relaxed, and locals and travelers order omelettes, waffles and poached eggs for breakfast."

"Jackson Soul Food is a restaurant with deep roots in the Overtown community, a historically black neighborhood just west of Downtown Miami. The area has a complicated past, full of highs and lows, and it’s a history that’s essential reading for any Miami resident. You can feel a bit of the neighborhood’s past inside Jackson Soul Food, but you can also enjoy some of the best Southern and soul food dishes you’ll find in town."

"At this artisanal donut shop tucked away in a shopping center in South Miami and at The Falls in Pinecrest, the donuts are made fresh each day from decades of family recipes. Like its name, there is a signature Honeybee Doughnut, a raised doughnut stuffed with fresh whip cream and local honey, but the menu is vast when it comes to everyday donuts and specialty flavors. Pretend like it’s your birthday and order the festive Happy Birthday donut or go for the dulce de leche, guava with cream cheese, s’mores topped with roasted marshmallows, or the epic Oreo doughnut with buttercream."

"This doughnut shop just made its way to a second location at The Falls, while it’s original South Miami location undergoes a renovation. Doughnut lovers who visit Honeybee will find more than a dozen daily doughnut flavors including the signature Honeybee doughnut, a raised doughnut filled with fresh whipped cream and local honey.

"If you’ve never been to Honeybee, it’s about time you head to South Miami. Inspired by countless hours in the kitchen with her European grandmother, Karen Muirhead has brought some of that Euro flair to the Magic City. Enter this small shop and indulge your craziest doughnut fantasies on daily basis."

"Before donuts became hip and pastry chefs got their hands on them, they were the everyman’s breakfast pastry. Dandee Donuts is one of the few independent places where you can still grab an old-school, traditional donut. You can also sit down and have an omelet, a patty melt, or even a pizza here."

"America’s favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee, espresso, breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Stop by or order ahead with the Dunkin’ App."

"Scott was the most attentive and helped me find what I was looking for. She’s truly great and I’ll be back!"
