"Another influencer hotspot, Sugar rooftop bar and lounge is brimming with photo opportunities, along with a delectable selection of Asian-inspired cocktails and tapas. Situated on the 40th floor of the EAST hotel, this secret rooftop garden boasts panoramic skyline views of the city — an ideal place to watch the sun set. Oozing a vibe described as “lush Miami cool meets chic Hong Kong cocktail,” you’ll want to make sure to take plenty of pictures at this rooftop paradise surrounded by tropical greenery."

"A post shared by Vittorio Di Natale (@vittorio_di_natale) on Mar 21, 2019 at 10:55am PDT. This trendy 40th-floor rooftop spot always pulls in a fun and energetic crowd. With views this good, you’ll find a whole new level of appreciation for the Miami skyline."

"Located in Brickell City Centre's EAST Miami, Sugar was just named to Condé Nast's 10 Best Rooftop Bars in the United States."

"Once upon a time, Miami was the city of Champagne and bottle service. Though perhaps in some places bottle service still rules, the past decade has welcomed a craft cocktail movement that takes advantage of Miami’s excellent citrus and vibrant bar scene. Of the many options, The Broken Shaker, however, is the city’s standard-setter."

"This is free to charge a place where you can fresh n up with the entire schedule that you are having. However, this is the well-known Miami cocktail bar which is a place in the outskirts of the beach. On the other hand, there are rooms for tourists to stay for some time that they want."

"What was once a pop-up bar, The Broken Shaker is now a permanent fixture at the Freehand Miami. The James Beard Award-nominated bar is located in the high-end hostel on South Beach serving up a selection of handcrafted cocktails. The bar itself is..."

"This self-proclaimed “upscale” dive bar — from the people behind places like Sweet Liberty and Blackbird Ordinary — features retro-vibes, strong drinks and plenty of entertainment like a Pac Man arcade game, jukebox, pool table, TVs, and a Bookleggers library. Plus diners can grab a pizza and a nostalgic snowball from its on-site food vendor, Yeti’s."

"Part vintage surf shack, part sultry outdoor club, Hyde Beach at SLS South Beach hotel is a prime spot to rub elbows with the young and fabulous of South Beach beneath string lighting and palm trees. Inside the bar, you’ll find VIP tables, a DJ booth and dance floor, while outdoors there’s a sprawling space to mix and mingle in the fresh air by the swimming pools. For a debauched weekend daytime pool party, this is one of the hottest scenes in town."

"Hyde Beach offers artful mixology and cuisine from Jose Andrés — all in an over 8,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor space with a gorgeous pool and beach access."

"Restaurants Chinese Wynwood. Commanding its own lively corner on the outer edges of a tightly packed Wynwood, this petite, dimly lit parcel serves up Chinese classics alongside a respectable wine list and just the right amount of scene. Its pink facade, hanging wicker lamps and elbow room only dining room make for a fun stop off before a night out, but Palmar’s blue crab fried rice topped with bean sprouts and a sticky 63-degree egg is reason enough to put in a reservation and brave the Wynwood crowds."

"As cool as its Wynwood locale, Palmar offers contemporary Chinese food with unruffled style. Guests enjoy a hefty selection of wine, beer, and dishes such as duck confit dumplings and guava and cheese spring rolls underneath the red glow of modish rattan lanterns. Available for dine-in or takeout."

"The restaurant takes traditional Chinese cuisine and turns it into something that locals and critics have fallen in love with. Some even say it’s the best Chinese restaurant in Miami. For starters, their dim sum is bursting with flavor, along with other colorful dishes."

"Skybar's glamorous, welcoming spaces, located in the notorious Shore Club, one of the most unique hotels on South Beach, act as a magnet for the unabashedly chic and famous. From the gorgeous, dramatic Redroom, activity spills out the back door, into a lush garden, then to a poolside lounge, and finally to the beach itself. Accented with handcrafted lanterns, vibrant textiles, rich beading, tropical foliage and imported furniture, the lounge is designed to seduce â€" and it succeeds brilliantly. You'll quite possibly lose all sense of time and place, which is quite all right. No one wants you to leave before you're ready to go, and that will quite possibly be right around sunrise, which is beautiful coming up on the beach here."

"South Beach offers an exciting selection of daytime and nighttime opportunities that are truly unlike anything you’ll experience elsewhere. You’ll soon see why booking a night at the Shore Club on South Beach – situated in the heart of Ocean Drive’s promenade and a 10-minute walk from Lincoln Road – is the best way to experience the melting pot of culture and excitement that is Miami. This ultra-chic hotel offers all-new amenities, pools, lounges and a complimentary breakfast, which you can enjoy on the sunlit terraces of the in-house Italian restaurant."

"Before donuts became hip and pastry chefs got their hands on them, they were the everyman’s breakfast pastry. Dandee Donuts is one of the few independent places where you can still grab an old-school, traditional donut. You can also sit down and have an omelet, a patty melt, or even a pizza here."

"This Miami institution reminds me of any good restaurant in downtown Lima, unpretentious and simple. The food here speaks for itself. But as you may not have tried it yet, let me explain."

"3 out of 5 stars Restaurants Mexican Ludlam / Tropical Park. The whole family can get into #TacoTuesday at the Downtown Dadeland outpost of this fast-casual Mexican joint. On Tuesday nights, not only do kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entrée, but you’ll also find face painting, balloons and the occasional clown to entertain the younger crowd."

"It’s back, Lime, which has some of the freshest and tastiest tacos on the beach, is again a local favorite, yes the line is usually out the door, but that should tell you something, IT’S GOOD!!!"
