As a Miami native, I’m often asked about my recommendations for places to eat and things to do while visiting South Florida. My suggestions will change depending on budget and the type of weekend you are looking to enjoy (crazy, cultural, or cuisine-based). Miami is a fast-moving town, and that’s definitely not referring to the traffic. If you aren’t paying close enough attention, the options for dining and entertainment will change in a blink of the eye, so always check the date of the publication you are seeking for reference when looking for ideas for a great weekend in paradise.
In this quick three-day guide I wrote for Winetraveler.com, I offer up a few suggestions of new hot spots and old favorites that are sure to offer a good time during your visit to Miami Beach.
Whether you want a day of eating, drinking, and dancing, poolside partying, or something more cultural, you can find a little bit of everything in this article–including suggestions of places to stay.
What else would you like to know about visiting Miami? Feel free to leave a comment with your questions about the Magic City.
