Guests at Juiva can expect to find a mixture of French, Japanese, and Peruvian cuisines on the menu, prepared by a talented team of chefs, who, together, have decades of training within each culture.

"The swankiest rooftop terrace in all of Miami and the coldest pinot grigio in town. Insider tip: Arrive 30 minutes before sunset, order a few appetizers and get ready for a magical evening. 1111 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; 305-763-8272 orjuviamiami.com"

"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."

"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."

"Chef Michael Pirolo and his partner Jennifer Chaefski opened their 70-seat Macchialina restaurant on the west side of Miami Beach. Their goal is to inspire locals and experienced tourists with the authentic flavors and seasonal ingredients that accompany each dish. A native of Queens County in New York, head chef Pirolo attended a cooking school in Italy to improve his skills before becoming a chef at Scott Conant's Scarpetta on his way to discovering this great diner."

"There are quite a few top quality Italian restaurants in Miami, and Macchialina is one of the best. Here you can enjoy rustic Italian cuisine and cooking that’s influenced by the seasons. Step inside this stylish restaurant and try Italian delicacies such as meatballs, white beans, handmade pasta and freshly made traditional Italian pizzas."

"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."

"The gist: Giorgio Rapicivoli gets into his Italian roots, opening up shop along Coral Gables’ sunny Giralda Plaza.The food: We knew it was only a matter of time until Chopped champ and local restaurant impresario Giorgio Rapicivoli delved into the world of Italian cuisine. As expected, he’s put some genius twists on the standards, like wagyu beef carpaccio with crispy sunchokes and little gem lettuce with cacio y pepe dressing. The pastas are all worth a try, though the short rib Bolognese will have you rethinking every meat sauce you’ve ever had."

"Luca is Giorgio Rapicavoli’s delicious salute to his home country, serving up modern interpretations of Italian classics. Why we love it: We know this is a restaurant list, but we’re going to lead with cocktails. Luca’s impressive list of Italian standards and reinvented classics deserves serious praise."

"I woke up at 6:43am the morning after having dinner at Luca Osteria, an Italian restaurant in Coral Gables, and panicked. I realized I forgot the leftovers in the car. So I got up and retrieved the last bits of perfectly al dente cacio pepe, and citrusy bucatini alle vongole with tender manila clams."

"Established in 1998 by two friends, Basilico Ristorante has been serving delicious Northern Italian fare ever since. Meaning basil in Italian, the restaurant was named after the first job owner Carlos had to do in the new eatery. Basilico serves a simple menu of traditional and authentic Italian cuisine, ranging from freshly prepared salads and appetizers to hearty meat and fish entrees, hand-tossed, wood-fired pizzas with a variety of toppings, and decadent desserts."

"I recommend this Antonio's pizza place to anybody there pizzas awesome it's hot fresh and it's not fake like other pizza places this is th..."

"Perfect for families with kids looking for some outdoor fun, Bayfront Park has plenty of activities for all ages. Originally built back in 1896 and known as Royal Palm Park, this park has grown from a small patch of grass to gather on to more than 32 acres of playgrounds, beaches, walkways, gardens, and a waterfall. With other attractions like a pirate ship playground and multiple performance venues, there is always something going on."

The park features several memorials, including one to the crew of the Challenger space shuttle.

"The Perez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science are both near Brickell, and they’re adjacent to the sprawling Museum Park. If you opt for the science museum, don’t miss the planetarium show!. Afterward, relax at Museum Park, and watch the cruise ships sail away between 4 pm and 6 pm."

"Drive from Miami Beach back to the mainland, and travel along Biscayne Boulevard to get a glimpse at some of the hypermodern, ambitious mixed-use projects under construction: the 10-block, $2 billion Miami Worldcenter, the $1 billion Brickell City Centre, and Museum Park, home to"

"For more than 100 years, this legendary South Beach restaurant has been the definitive place to feast on massive crustaceans served family-style. Pro tip: No meal here is complete without a slice of key lime pie. Now doing delivery and take-out."

"Georgie's is the biggest gay bar in the Wilton Manor gay area and probably the most famous. All the gay boys, new and old, will at some stage end up here during the night. What we love about Georgie's is that it has a large outdoor terrace with a small bar, which has a sort of street party feel to it."

"and Georgie’s Alibi Monkey Bar is in sync with the Provincetown vibe. It’s all about the Monkey’s secrets — see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. This restaurant, bar, and nightclub celebrate alternative lifestyles to the max."
