"With ambiance that is reminiscent of the tranquil Greek islands, Mandolin Aegean Bistro has become a go-to for locals looking for a romantic night out in the Miami Design District. Sweep your date off their feet as soon as you pass through the blue-framed doors, where you can hide away at a table inside the intimate 1940s bungalow, or settle on the lush patio at a lantern-lit table beneath the trees. The husband-and-wife team who own the restaurant are from Greece and Turkey, so expect authentic recipes in shareable, light dishes such as a Greek sampler of dips, steamed mussels, marinated grilled octopus and lamb kebabs."

"Earning top placement on locals’ favorites lists for almost a decade, Mandolin Aegean Bistro is the least Miami of the Miami hot spots. Quietly nestled north of the Design District, a modest bungalow serves simple Mediterranean fare among umbrellas and twinkling lights. Meze mainstays include the Turkish sampler (a vegetable medley and dip trio), grilled octopus, and cheese saganaki."

"Probably the least Miami Instagrammable destination on this list, but totally perfect if you feel like pretending you’ve been whisked off to a Greek island. Not only are the decor and ambiance straight out of a dream at Mandolin, but so is its food so make sure to snap a pic or two before digging in (if you can resist the temptation!)"

"Restaurants Vegan South of Fifth"

"The solo debut by Miami’s own Top Chef winner, Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is a cozy-yet-hip South of Fifth spot turning out some of the city’s most elevated cuisine. While there is a complete a la carte menu with dishes like ricotta gnudi, warm celery root with crispy mushrooms, and smoked prime rib, the real highlight here is the tasting menu, where guests can try a bevy of classics and seasonal creations, plus get some of its melt-in-your mouth gooey snickerdoodle cookies to take home to remember the meal."

"If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot in South of Fifth - maybe to celebrate a special occasion or just the fact that you made it across the MacArthur in less than five minutes - Stubborn Seed is the best place to go. It’s a small spot that feels like an old-school cocktail lounge that ran into a steel mill, with lots of dark wood and metal pipes lining the leather booths. The reason you come here, though, is for the excellent food, which changes up regularly, but always includes lots of fresh seafood."

"Once upon a time, Miami's place for modern art downtown was known as the Miami Art Museum. It was a well-sized museum adjacent to the Government Center and was a mish mash of contemporary and modern art from around the world. But in 2013, the former MAM outgrew its old home and was transported to a waterfront lot that, in conjunction with the soon-to-be-open Patricia and Phillip Frost Science Museum, would become Museum Park."

"More of a cultural center than a museum, the space is both a comforting reminder for Haitian expats of their country’s art, history, music, movies, and literature and a fascinating look into a Caribbean nation that too few have been able to visit. Opened in 2004 to commemorate Haiti’s Bicentennial, the 60,000-square-foot museum is a one-of-a-kind experience just steps from Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a location that makes it even more immersive ($10/adult).

"When we first passed by this place we kept on walking because it was empty and doesn't have the most welcoming entrance. After looking up some local Ramen…”more"

"Because South Beach is such a broad description, and the varying beaches here go on for miles, we thought we'd narrow it down. Lummus Park, the area of the beach located along Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Street, is the all-encompassing South Beach experience. This is the strip of sand that is always the most crowded, which makes for excellent people watching."

"Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."

"Lummus Park Beach is a public park with over 74 acres of land. It can be found on the east of Ocean Drive and was created in 1985."

"Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway on East Sunrise Boulevard, the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park offers a stunning tropical oasis in which to enjoy a range of activities and local wildlife watching.

A mile-long freshwater lagoon provides the perfect place for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and wildlife watching while other recreational activities include hiking, cycling, inline skating, and Segway Tours."

"The Hugh Taylor Birch State Park sits next to the Atlantic Ocean and if you love wildlife then you mustn’t miss the chance to visit.
