Where to eat in South Beach
"If you dig wind in your hair and a chill vibe, head to Area 31 at the Epic Hotel in Downtown Miami, where the neighboring buildings and location on the river act as a wind tunnel. Be sure to check out the yachts docked below and excellent city views to the south. A photo posted by Pietro Matulli (@pietro_matulli) on Jun 13, 2016 at 6:46am PDT"
"Area 31 is a local favorite located on the 16th floor of the EPIC hotel. The restaurant itself is outdoors, and the elevation gives visitors breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The elegant menu is seafood based, serving only the freshest fish and more – check out the raw bar, ceviche dishes, and shrimp cocktails."
"Area 31 is on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel, which means it boasts spectacular views across Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and the city skyline. The restaurant takes its name from Fishing Area 31, which is from where most of the ingredients are sourced. This area is an ecologically sustainable fishery."
"Nestled in a secret rooftop garden, Sugar is one of Miami’s hidden gems and the perfect setting for a romantic date. Tuck into Asian-inspired tapas and sip seasonal cocktails while watching the sun set across Miami – one of the city’s bucket-list attractions!"
"The city has some of the exotic bars that you haven’t gone till now. And A great hotspot in Brickell always has a massive line out on the weekends. You will see a good crowd waiting for their turn."
"Freehand combines the luxury of hotels and the community mindset of a hostel in its four locations, all of which have a Broken Shaker. This particular one, true to its locale, rides the line between a posh Miami Beach environment and a Surfside aesthetic. With canopied patios and poolside drinks until 5pm, Broken Shaker manages to capture Miami in its atmosphere as well as in its rotating monthly and seasonal cocktails."
"What began in 2012 as a pop-up bar has flourished and matured into one of the most popular spots in Miami Beach. This courtyard oasis, equipped with twinkling lights, table tennis, and mismatched patio furniture, offers a roster of cocktails that change according to the season and available fresh ingredients. Curb your hunger with bites such as Korean chicken tenders and a Cuban sandwich."
"The Broken Shaker has helped evolve the Miami mixed drink scene bringing the stiff drinks out of the parlor and into the open air. It's not the velvet slipper and smoking jacket type of cocktail club some out-of-towners may be use to. Patrons sip their drinks scattered around the pool and beneath the over-growth."
"If you are looking for a trendy Wynwood brewery, then check out Veza Sur. The large black wall branding the brewery is extremely hard to miss. 10 Barrel Brewing Company and Colombia’s Bogata Beer Company joined together to provide an interesting and cozy location that has a feel reminiscent of a home library or den. On the menu, you will find choices that include:"
"Located north of Downtown Miami, Veza Sur Brewing Co. stays true to its Latin-American roots, right in the creative Wynwood neighborhood. Veza Sur doesn’t disappoint with creativity either. Recently, they dropped a coffee porter slushy with Twix bars on top."
"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, $2 chopp Mon–Fri, 4–7pm. Standout beer: The Michelada"
"The place is decorated with contemporary paintings and celebrity murals such as Frida Kahlo and Audrey Hepburn. Come for the inspiration and take as many pictures as you want."
"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."
"Eighteen stories above 1 Hotel South Beach’s private beach, Watr At The 1 Rooftop serves up Peruvian and Japanese seafood with a heavy dose of atmosphere. Open daily for lunch and dinner, dusk tends to be the prime time for the public to partake in crudo, chardonnay, and waterfront selfies."
"Ready for some of the most stunning unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean?. Sitting at 18 stories, WATR at 1 Hotel Rooftop has you covered. Whether you are staying at the Miami hotel or planning a visit to have some cocktails with views of Miami Beach, you will not be disappointed."
"The rooftop pool and lounge at the 1 Hotel South Beach is definitely the finest of its kind in Miami Beach, offering ocean views and a zen atmosphere. A photo posted by jenniferlevant (@jlevant) on Jul 14, 2016 at 10:32am PDT"

"Finish your trip with a relaxing day in Bayside. With its colorful garden, its colonial architecture and its history, Villa Vizcaya is beautiful and really worth the trip. You can easily spend half a day there. Try and spot the multicolored giant lizards outside."

"The Miami Selfie Museum, located in Wynwood has many colorful art installations for a variety of fun backdrops. It’s a super Instagrammable museum and one of the fun places to take pictures in Miami. From interactive rooms, donut walls, a bathtub with plastic bubbles, and much more it will make your Instagram feed super unique."
"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).

"A former Drug Enforcement Agency warehouse, the Rubell Family Collection located in Wynwood proves to be anything but conventional. Spanning 40,000-square-feet, the museum tailors the whole first floor as the “New Shamans” exhibit, which features the work of artists who hail from South America. While the downstairs transports you into an enriching world that addresses environmental, social and political concerns, the museum’s “High Anxiety: New Acquisitions” is more therapeutic: the exhibit uses art to channel and understand everyday nerves and stresses."
"The creation of Don and Mera Rubell led to the formation of the enchanting private art museum, the Rubell Museum. For more than half a decade, the Rubells team has collected more than 7,200 works by 1000 and more artists. The contemporary art displayed in the 56,000 square feet galleries is a mosaic of talent, aestheticism, and a warehouse of art and culture."
"Originally established in New York City in 1964, this Miami art museum was moved to a former DEA confiscation center by Jason and Jennifer Rubell in 1993. One of the world’s largest privation collections, the Rubell Family Collection features works from Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Kara Walker, and Jean-Michel Basquiat."
"Doughnut Break features gourmet doughnuts with a European touch that can be seen in the form of many homemade meringues and specialty creams. Here, those with a sweet tooth can order unique doughnuts like the natillas made with Maria crackers and a touch of cinnamon or the doughnut croissant filled with its famous crema catalana.

"Portland-based ice cream shop, Salt & Straw, and Miami favorites, The Salty Donut, are teaming up to make this Valentine’s Day extra sweet with a not-to-be-missed collab. The two nationally-recognized brands have co-created a Valentine’s Day pint pack including five (5) exclusive, limited-time flavors that make the perfectly indulgent gift to show love to a partner, friends, family or yourself!. Available for national shipping through Salt & Straw’s website only, the specialty pack will launch on February 1 and be priced at $65 + shipping."
"Look for the long lines, and you’ll know you’ve found this artisanal donut shop with a major cult-like following. The Salty's quickly transformed from a pop-up food truck to a permanent institution in Wynwood thanks to its fluffy, handmade donuts flaunting flavors such as guava and cheese, maple bacon and white chocolate tres leches, along with seasonal and limited-edition donuts. For something simpler, try the traditional glazed buttermilk donut made with 24-hour brioche, and order a specialty coffee to wash it all down."
"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."
"23rd St., Suite 112, the bakery and coffee and tea spot, which offers doughnuts and more, is the most popular bakery in Miami, boasting 4.5 stars out of 1,786 reviews on Yelp."
