"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."

Don't be shy about adding plenty of grated Parmesan cheese — it won't corrupt the culinary integrity of this dish ($21)."

"As a restaurant alone, R House is unique in that it is also an art gallery featuring local artists – we wouldn’t expect anything less for a restaurant in the Wynwood art district, of course. But what truly makes this a popular brunch in Miami is the Drag Brunch hosted on Saturdays and Sundays!. R House offers four different packages for brunch that include a main dish and a choice of either unlimited side dishes, bottomless brunch drinks – mimosas, white wine sangria, mojitos – a combination of both, or two sides and the bottomless drinks."

"The drag brunch at R House, held Saturdays and Sundays ($50 per person plus tax and tip) is hosted by the lively and talented Athena Dion. Some performers come and go sporadically, but many return weekend after weekend, forming relationships with their audience. As mimosa no. 1 sneakily becomes mimosa no. 7, Juicy Love Dion, Morphine Love, and other local drag stars perform to tracks by Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennifer Lopez, and more, each with their own unique style, flair, and preferred playlist."

"To try and categorize this Wynwood staple would be a disservice to its offbeat, campy aesthetic. The interior has a divey feel despite its modern, industrial-style bar top and nostalgic arcade wall. Step outside on the patio to sit at psychedelic tables underneath a canopy of trees that are colorfully lit upon sunset."

"We may not be in Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get quality New York–style pizza. At this pizza kiosk on the patio of Wynwood hangout Gramps, there’s no shortage of cheap and classic thin-crust slices. 176 NW 24th St.; 855-732-8992 orpizzatropical.com"

"From the outside, Gramps is an unassuming bar promising only air conditioning, cold beer, and cocktails. But Gramps delivers much more than it promises. The ever-evolving bar has weekly programming of live concerts, trivia, bingo, and drag shows."
