"You’ve surely dined at Juvia in the evening, but have you visited this rooftop restaurant for brunch?. Beyond the unbelievable city views, Juvia serves a pretty affordable bottomless brunch (by Miami Beach standards, at least). Enjoy two hours of all-you-can-drink mimosas, tequila margaritas or bellinis for $30."

Since 2016, it’s estimated that over 2,000 works live in the PAMM’s permanent collection."

"The Perez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science are both near Brickell, and they’re adjacent to the sprawling Museum Park. If you opt for the science museum, don’t miss the planetarium show!. Afterward, relax at Museum Park, and watch the cruise ships sail away between 4 pm and 6 pm."

"Nobody makes you feel more convincingly that you're in Italy like former-Scarpetta chef Michael Pirolo does at Macchialina. This tiny Alton Rd eatery not only survived the volatile Miami restaurant industry, it did it on Alton Rd when Alton Rd was a giant pile of gravel.

"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."
