Top things to do in Miami, USA
"‘You will be seeing unusual accomplishment,’ reads the inscription on the rough-hewn quarried wall. That’s an understatement. There is no greater temple to all that is weird and wacky about South Florida. The legend: a Latvian gets snubbed at the altar. Comes to the USA and settles in Florida. Handcarves, unseen, in the dead of night, a monument to unrequited love."
"Unlike the Medditerian Revival mansions at Coral Gables or the Art Deco buildings of the South beach, The Coral Castle Museum is a singular structure. It is said that the 1,100-ton coral rock castle was built single-handedly by a man who lost his love. The structure alludes to mysteries like that of Stonehenge."
"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."
"The Barnacle Historic State Park is home to the oldest house in Miami|© William Silver / Shutterstock. Also in Coconut Grove, this fairly small park tops our list for having the oldest house in its original location in Miami. Visitors can tour the 1891 home, The Barnacle, to learn about the frontier life during the “Era of the Bay” at a time when all travel to the city was done by boat."
"At this 5-acre gem in Coconut Grove is the oldest home in its original location in Miami-Dade County (1891), which once housed Ralph Middleton Munroe, an American yacht designer. You'll also see plenty of mesmerizing Spanish moss. A post shared by @lizz_ax3 on Feb 26, 2017 at 2:42pm PST"
"Located in the neighbourhood of Miami on the Main Highway in Coconut Grove, Plymouth Congregational Church was built in 1917 and is one of the ancient churches in the city. Plymouth Congregational Church is architecture in mission revival style with inspiration from old city church in Mexico and is a part of the US National Register of Historic Places since 1974. The church is well known as a pretty wedding venue among locals."

"Spanish missionaries and treasure seekers first explored the Florida coast as far back as the 17th century, and the Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a fascinating bit of local and international history that dates back centuries before that when it was originally constructed in Spain. Inhabited by monks for nearly seven centuries, in the early 1920s, it was bought by American newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, disassembled, shipped to Florida, and reassembled on its current site. It has been open to the public since the mid-’60s, and for those who don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, the best way to experience it is by guided tour."
"Intensely moving, this memorial created by artist-architect Kenneth Treister honors victims and offers solace to survivors of the horrors of the Holocaust of the Jewish people in Europe. Included in its design is an arbor that depicts the history of the Holocaust in black granite and a tunnel that opens up to "The Sculpture of Love and Anguish." This enormous bronze arm, with its base of writhing human forms, is variously interpreted as a symbol of despair or hope. The memorial also encompasses a reflecting pool and walls inscribed with the names of thousands of victims."
"1933-1945 Meridian AvenueMiami Beach, FL 33139(305) 538-1663. The Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach was opened in 1990 with Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Weisel as the guest speaker. The memorial is also built in the former home of Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the States."
"Like Goldilocks and her porridge, it can be hard to find an omakase that’s “just right” - one that hits that sweet spot between formal and informal, suspiciously cheap and give-your-accountant-a-heart-attack expensive. But Mr. Omakase in Downtown walks that line perfectly. I’m not going to call dinner here cheap, but both the 10 and 14-course options come in under $100 (at least before service, taxes, and sake), which is better than most upscale omakase options."
"Your local Hollywood Subway® Restaurant, located at 4903 Sheridan St brings delicious ingredients and mouth-watering flavors in billions of sandwich, salad and wrap combinations to you. An alternative to traditional fast food, we offer freshly cut veggies, toppings, protein and freshly-baked brea..."
"This Lincoln Road café and restaurant brings a classic Italian coffee experience to Miami Beach. Stop by to get your daily cappuccino or macchiato, or try our favorite, the Caffe Shakerato (espresso shaken with ice, sugar, and your choice of liqueur). And don't forget to come back for aperitivo from 4-6pm on weekdays when Segafredo serves complimentary small bites for those ordering drinks."
"Enjoy the hustle and bustle of Lincoln Road at Segafredo L’Originale. Outdoor tables open up onto the pedestrian mall, so your kids have plenty of room to play. Sip a cool drink to beat the heat, and delight your little ones with fresh pizza or mini burgers."
"If you don’t mind breakfast at a chain restaurant, we don’t mind including one of the most consistently good options for breakfast in Naples, even if it is a bit pricey. From "million dollar bacon" (again, pricey but oh so yummy) to the vanilla chai, First Watch serves some excellent breakfast choices which include traditional favorites and a wide array of healthy options as well. This award winning Florida based chain of restaurants use only in-season produce for all their preparations."
"Sugar Cane Raw Bar Grill is a garden of gastronomic delights. It is run by a renowned chef who has worked with famous faces, such as Emeril. Guests can enjoy meals such as sushi rolls, tapas, salads, oysters and other shellfish, and food prepared on the robata grill."
"The Sugarcane is located between two of Miami’s hottest neighborhoods, the Design District and Wynwood. The Sugarcane is known for its Rum Cocktails. The place has the largest selection of rums and a solid wine list too."
