"The kingpin of Lincoln Road fine dining, Juvia is the mall’s rooftop hot spot and is perfect for a date night filled with chic people watching. Diners whisk up to the ninth floor of the 1111 Lincoln Road building for skyline views and a medley of French, Japanese, and Peruvian cuisine. View this post on Instagram"

"Set atop the chains of Lincoln Road, Juvia is located in penthouse of the 1111 Lincoln Road parking garage, offering picturesque views of South Beach from every angle from its outdoor terrace."

"Location: 1103 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida, United States 33132. Description: Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), located in Downtown Miami's Museum Park alongside Biscayne Bay, is Miami-Dade County's flagship museum presenting international art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Designed by prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, the state-of-the-art facility offers 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor program space including flexible galleries, an education complex, the PAMM Shop with unique gifts, art books and furnishings, and Verde waterfront restaurant and bar."

"Show off your artsy side by posing with one of the awesome art installations inside the Pérez Art Museum or capture its hanging garden and lush garden for some urban-tropical vibes."

"The café and the boutique Pamm are really cool too, so plan enough time to explore it all. If sunny, the Museum Park is perfect for a nap under a palm tree."

"A must-visit cultural gem in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami is the former villa and estate of businessman James Deering, the Villa Vizcaya, which is now known as the Vizcaya Museums and Garden. The Gilded Age estate captures jaw-dropping European architecture in an alluring American context. Visitors can lure around the interiors of the estate which is layered with an accumulation of artifacts and memories in the impressive rooms designed in the Mediterranean Revival architecture style, with Baroque elements."

The amazing architecture, arts, and garden are features of this place that will help you reconnect with the past while you still enjoy the present."

"It's not that much of a "secret" with Vizcaya Museum Gardens hosting films like Iron Man 3, Any Given Sunday, and Bad Boys 2, but it's among the most captivating and iconic locations in all of Miami"

"Nobody makes you feel more convincingly that you're in Italy like former-Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo does at Macchialina. This tiny Alton Rd eatery not only survived the volatile Miami restaurant industry, it did it on Alton Rd when Alton Rd was a giant pile of gravel. The only spot not called Panera to survive the Alton Armageddon, it's done it with the richest red sauces, freshest pastas, and most inventive cocktail menu on this list."

"Italian food can get very expensive to eat in Miami Beach, but Macchialina’s is one place to get your pasta fix for less than $30 per person. They have staples like Lasagna, Caccio e Pepe and Spaghetti, that are of course handmade pasta. However, you can even get Branzino and Veal here if you are cutting down on carbs."

"Michael’s is a classic spot where you can expect a very good, straightforward meal with recognizable dishes like deviled eggs, roasted cauliflower, and oysters. And this is a refreshing thing in the Design District, where most restaurants feel like they were created by a Fendi handbag that just took a bump. But at Michael’s, dinner, lunch, and the fantastic brunch don’t feel like an experience made for people who just bought a $2,000 t-shirt down the block."

"Michael's Genuine Food & Drink —an institution in the Florida dining scene—helmed by Miami culinary star Michael Schwartz. There are burgers—and then there are burgers at Michael's Genuine Food & Drink."

"Various LocationsAsk any ex-Floridian what they miss the most, and 90% of the time the answer will include an item from this beloved grocery store’s deli section. Here, you’ll find a bevy of hot items (you can smell the crispy-skinned chicken fresh out of the fryer all the way from the dairy aisle) plus a decked-out sub station. Choose from either Publix brand deli meats and cheeses or splurge for Boars’ Head and while the meats might be delicious, the order that reigns supreme will always be the chicken tender sub."

"This Southern supermarket chain is famous for its fried chicken. No matter where you are in Miami, you’ve got a Publix nearby. Snag a hefty chicken-stuffed sandwich or a combo with a side of mac and cheese and biscuits."

"My mother and I wanted some brunch so we decided to try Edukos yesterday. The food was fabulous and so was the service."

"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."

"A large park hidden within the enclave of Morningside, the area's namesake park is a great neighborhood park, with tons of room to run and climb trees and a variety sports facilities."

"What started as a takeout window in South Beach became a chain taking over Florida with fresh, healthy ceviche, salads, burritos, and tacos. Most restaurants now have sit-down space, but the atmosphere is the same everywhere: Fresh seafood or free-range chicken is combined with fresh seasonal vegetables, given an international flavor and offered at reasonable prices. The signature ceviche is simple: fresh locally caught seafood tossed with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, red onions, and jalapenos, all drenched in their fresh, citrus-based sauce that comes in several versions."

"The first outpost of My Ceviche was essentially a seafood shack on South Beach with founders Sam and Roger playing the roles of chef and cashier, doling out fresh ceviche from a takeout window. Now the eatery has expanded across town to neighborhoods like Brickell and Midtown, yet it still maintains its playful, roll-with-the-punches spirit. Ceviche bowls and salads are topped with fresh seafood like charred octopus and seared ahi tuna, while the ever-popular, made-to-order poke bowl features fun flavors like wasabi sesame sauce and creamy togarashi."

"First Ave., Suite 117, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the Latin American and fast food spot, which offers seafood and more, four stars out of 139 reviews. MORE NEWS: COVID-19 Vaccination Sites In South Florida"
