"Brought to you by the same owners as The Foxy Brown, the illustrious and breezy Coconuts Waterfront restaurant is South Florida at its best. Conveniently located on the Intracoastal waterway, you can easily float your way to Sunday brunch and dock your boat here. Coconuts prides itself on their philosophy to “be nice”, which is exuded in their exceptional and sincere service, coupled with quality food and an unbeatable view."
"Relax by the city marina and enjoy finger food fit for small hands and fresh catches from the sea at Coconuts. For the older children and adults, this restaurant features snow crab legs and roasted garlic butter that make you glad you chose to vacation on the beach. Few things are more relaxing than watching the boats go by while watching your children eat happily with their hands."
"Discover why Coconuts is one of the favorites in Lauderdale, is it because of their superb service or a great selection of seafood and a good marina location?. Whatever it is, Coconuts is not to be missed!. First to taste here is their awesome lobster rolls, and if that’s not enough for you, try their grilled oysters."
"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."
"Located on the 16th Floor of the Kimpton Epic Hotel, one of the best hotels in Miami, Area 31 is a popular happy hour spot with gorgeous views overlooking sparkling Miami waterways and downtown Miami.

"Vietnamese food is hard to find in the 305, and Tran An is helping fill that gap. On the menu of this Little River sensation, you’ll find staples like green papaya salad, pork, and shrimp imperial rolls, and an array of banh mis, bowls, and pho. The OG classic banh mi is a must, with its tasty chili-rubbed pork and country pate; the braised beef one is also a solid sandwich."
"Soup, and pho in particular, is almost indistinguishable in its delivery format from when you eat it in the restaurant. And though you may not have hit up this Vietnamese stand at Politan row, now’s the time to try it with a hot bowl of steaming chicken pho, and maybe some shrimp chips to throw in there.Cost: $15; order online or through DoorDash"

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."

A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."
