"Elegance” is the first word that comes to mind when you walk into Villa Azur. No expense has been spared in decorating the place, and the white color scheme makes for a gorgeous setting ideal for any special occasion. The versatile venue can serve as a stunning backdrop for a magnificent meal or a lively dance floor—it just depends on the night."

"Villa Azur rewrites South Beach’s uncurbed allure in bold, cursive italics, guided by quill feather and inkwell. The chic French-Mediterranean restaurant offers an escape to plush sofa seating and ornate fineries—away from what you’d expect out of Miami Beach. It was designed to emulate European elegance: a French Villa."

"Though tennis was born as the "sport of kings," paupers are entitled to a place to work on their forehand. In a region littered with pay-to-play courts that require reservations, it's nice to know there are four free tennis courts at Polo Park where you can squeeze in some sets even if all you've got is a racquet and some balls. The well-maintained mid-Beach tennis facility operates on an egalitarian first come, first serve (see what we did there?) policy."

"Little Havana’s most evocative reminder of Old Cuba is Máximo Gómez Park, or ‘Domino Park,’ where the sound of elderly men trash-talking over games of chess is harmonized with the quick clack-clack of slapping dominoes. The jarring backtrack, plus the heavy smell of cigars and a sunrise-bright mural of the 1994 Summit of the Americas, combine to make Máximo Gómez one of the most sensory sites in Miami (although it is admittedly one of the most tourist-heavy ones as well)."

"For Little Havana’s most evocative reminder of Cuba, visit Máximo Gómez Park (known locally as Domino Park), where the sound of elderly men trash-talking over games of dominoes is harmonized with the quick clack-clack of slapping tiles. The heavy cigar smell and a sunrise-bright mural of the 1994 Summit of the Americas add to the atmosphere."

"This casual Puerto Rican eatery has that right combination of friendly service, great food, and affordable prices. Whether you order a full meal or just one of their freshly made alcapurrias or pastelillos, you’ll be treated like family. Don’t miss out on their tripleta sandwich, which features three kinds of meat."
