"You’ll often notice this family-owned, artisanal donut shop because of the winding line outside (don’t worry, it moves quickly). While it started out as a pop-up in Wynwood, The Salty Donut quickly gained a cult-like following thanks to its over-the-top creations and it currently has locations in Wynwood and South Miami. Everything is made from scratch, artificial ingredients are a no-no, and there’s a solid mix of staple and seasonal donuts."

"The Salty Donut, located in the heart of Wynwood, Miami, is famous for their mouthwatering and beautifully-made donuts. Catch them in the mornings because they tend to sell out quite quickly."

"The only strictly Kosher bakery on the list is Wynwood favorite Zak the Baker. The daily chalkboard menu changes depending on what's available, with everything made by hand. The seasonal menu features breakfast items like porridge and latke, pastries, ricotta toast, a variety of sandwiches, and daily soups and salads."

"Come for a loaf of sourdough (or a good ol’ pastrami sandwich), stay for the sweet-smelling aroma of freshly baked breads and pastries that fills the café all day long. Currently offering delivery and take-out. 295 NW 26th Ave.,Wynwood; 786-294-0876 or zakthebaker.com"

"This Wynwood bakery has the best flourless dark chocolate almond cookie in town. And dark chocolate rye. And wheat chocolate chip."

"A five-alarm wave of yumminess is sweeping through the Wynwood Art District neighborhood from the pies baked at Fireman Derek's Bake Shop & Cafe. All those years of cooking in firehouses have paid off for Miami firefighter-turned-professional-baker Derek Kaplan, who has made desserts for more than 15 years. What started as a food truck has evolved into a popular brick-and-mortar shop self-described as offering world-famous pies."

"Located in the Wynwood Art District, this hidden gem serves up sweet pies, like the classic apple and chocolate peanut butter, yet also savory pies, like the spinach and feta and the Mediterranean. After browsing the beautiful art, stop by this joint to grab a slice of literally anything. They won't let you down."

"I'm not allergic to gluten but I eat NonGMo and they also are 100% non gmo.Including the meats and eggs, plus organic."

"Leela’s Restaurant has been a staple in the community for over 30 years, it offers Afro-Caribbean and French inspired dishes. Order the griot (fried pork chunks) with rice and peas, fried green plantains and veggies from this family-owned local favorite."

"Downtown's Gelateria 4D, located at 670 Lincoln Road, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the gelateria and café four stars out of 191 reviews for its plentiful flavors. Especially popular is the parmalat milk gelato, made with imported Italian milk."

"Go American-style at Starbuck’s or enjoy a Latin-style breakfast of Cuban coffee and pan tostada (toasted Cuban bread) at Café Con Leche."

"Dining at this five-star, 10-year-old restaurant on Brickell Key is a treat. Specializing in natural Japanese cuisine, NAOE switches up the menu nightly and charges $220 plus a 20 percent gratuity per person and you can’t eat in a rush here. One meal takes two to three hours to complete and Chef Kevin Cory, who studied the art of Japanese food extensively in Kyoto and then Toyama, prepares it with care from start to finish (if you have dietary restrictions you must let the restaurant know 10 days in advance)."

"Kevin Cory is your host and sushi chef at this intimate restaurant named on Forbes Travel Guide's "Five-Star" list. This reservation-only spot serves omakase dinners using fish flown in overnight from Japan. The chef's-choice menu ($250 per person plus 20 percent service charge and sales tax) takes two to three hours to savor, and people allergic to mushrooms, eggs, seaweed, fish, shellfish, rice, raw foods, vinegar, smoked foods, alcohol, salt, sugar, legumes, nuts, seeds, or gluten cannot be accommodated."

"If you want a high-end dining experience that’s fit for A-list celebrities, all you have to do is step through the doors of Naoe. One of Miami’s best-kept secrets, Naoe is the tiniest of the Japanese restaurants that can only hold eight people at a time—no wonder getting a reservation is so tough here!. However, once you finally manage to get a table, you’re in for a culinary experience that’ll stay with you for a lifetime."

"Editor’s Note: Sushi by Bou is currently closed for the summer for renovations. Check back on their Instagram during the fall for updates on reopening. There are many different kinds of South Beach, but if you’re looking for the version that’s wearing a neon pink suit and driving a yellow Lamborghini down Ocean Drive, make a reservation at Sushi By Bou."

"In business since 1991 and located at the rear of the hotel lobby, overlooking the Sealine Marina, this elegant Chinese establishment has earned a solid reputation for its attentive tableside service, white tablecoth-and-fresh-flower decor, and consistently excellent Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine. On one side, you have a view of the sunken kitchen sealed by a glass wall, where you can watch the expert chefs whip up masterful concoctions. On the other side of the open, airy dining room, you get sprawling views of Biscayne Bay and the Venetian Isles."

"Restaurants Chinese Omni. This nondescript, banquet hall-style restaurant does Chinese food for Americans, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if exotic cuisine isn’t your thing. Don’t miss Tony Chan’s Peking duck and its fried fish drizzled with the chef’s special sweet-and-sour sauce."

"Internationally renowned Chinese Restaurant in Miami, FL located inside the Doubletree Grand Hotel lobby, next to Biscayne Bay and the Sea Isles Marina"

"Though it may seem out of place in such a swanky and exclusive setting, the Holocaust Memorial on Meridian Avenue in South Beach is a poignant attraction that’s free to visit and worth a look when you’re in the area. Miami is home to a sizeable Jewish population, and the memorial was the brainchild of a small group of local Holocaust survivors in the mid-’80s. The memorial has been open to the public since 1990, and the site includes a memorial wall and a pleasant garden that’s conducive to quiet contemplation."

"Fort Lauderdale has a rich history which may be overshadowed by the more modern an sophisticated metro area that it has become. Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum chronicles the city's history from the early Seminole era to World War II. It also offers information about the city's historic district and a chronology of its development. Other exhibits feature scale models of historic structures, including a recreation of a Seminole village complete with arts and crafts."

"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).

Their commitment to providing top-notch service is evident in everything from their staff who wear tuxedos to their dishes plated in the most attractive way, making their customers’ dining moments a world-class experience!"
