25 Best Things to Do in Miami Beach, FL (for 2021)
"Restaurants Coconut Grove. More than a restaurant, Green Street is a gathering place for a confluence of cyclists, dog parents, families and people seeking a shady spot where to enjoy Miami’s sunny weather. The nicer the day, the longer the wait time, though the bar serves cocktails and food on a first-come, first-served basis."
"This bright and airy South Beach cafe serves up everything the classic cafecito to more unique coffee libations like the cloud latte topped with “cloud” foam and cacao “rain.” Pair the brews with pastries by Dallas Wynne, or opt for something heartier like a steak sandwich, guava barbecue chicken, or a chicken vaca frita bowl. Open for takeout, delivery, and outdoor dining. View this post on Instagram"
"A chic Cuban cafe located at Flamingo Point with a menu comprised of items like chorizo manchego croquetas; baked egg with spinach, artichoke and cheese; and even a guava miso salmon grain bowl.

"South Beach desperately needs more coffee shops where one can concentrate without having to wrestle with a family of French tourists over the only seat near a power outlet. Bebito’s is just such a place. It’s in the lobby of a residential building slightly away from always-busy Alton Road."
"If people watching is your thing, grab a cup of coffee, a newspaper and an outdoor seat at Miami Beach’s News Café. This SoBe institution is the American Rivera’s most famous coffee shop and, the best part is, this place is open 24/7. Originally opened as a small news stand and bookstore, that also happened to sell coffee, News Café has quickly grown to accommodate an ever-changing group of customers and tourists."
"A Miami Beach standby, News Cafe offers casual outdoor dining and excellent people-watching. Situated in the Art Deco District, the cafe is located across the street from the beach. The menu is mind-boggling with dishes for every taste: seafood, steak, pasta, panini, pizza, and more."

"The whimsical ice cream shop by longtime Robuchon protégé, Salvatore Martone, will be offering Valentine’s Day ice cream desserts that embrace the spirit of love. Almost too beautiful to eat, Martone has created heart-shaped “cakesicles” (cake ice cream popsicles), which will be available in red velvet cake, chocolate and mango passion flavors. In addition to the specialty treats, Frohzen also offers its popular red velvet cake ice cream in full ice cream cakes as well as ice cream cupcakes topped with cream cheese soft serve frosting."
"If you’re wondering how Frohzen got to serving such photogenic ice cream, look no further than Salvatore Martone, Le Jardinier’s executive pastry chef and a longtime protégé of the late Joël Robuchon. With a pedigree like his, whimsy and creativity are to be expected. Frohzen’s house-made ice cream is presented as sundaes with a flurry of toppings, frozen cupcakes with swirls of frosting and even macaron ice cream sandwiches—a very fancy option that we’re very much into."
"Grab the car and spend the afternoon in Coconut Grove strolling through the Tuscan-style pedestrian mall CocoWalk, which includes hundreds of shops, restaurants and bars. A hidden favorite down the road, Monty’s, is ideal for waterfront afternoon drinking and the occasional local band. Walk along the dock to admire boats of all shapes and sizes."
"Though tennis was born as the "sport of kings," paupers are entitled to a place to work on their forehand. In a region littered with pay-to-play courts that require reservations, it's nice to know there are four free tennis courts at Polo Park where you can squeeze in some sets even if all you've got is a racquet and some balls. The well-maintained mid-Beach tennis facility operates on an egalitarian first come, first serve (see what we did there?) policy."
"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."
