Miami

A glamorous seaside city that has a distinct art scene as well as a crazy nightlife
get more info here
Some of Edel's brothers and sisters live in Miami so I have been to Miami almost every year since I can remember.  Miami is a great city because it's a city that can fit any type of person.  If you want to party then you can go to South Beach or Brickell.  University of Miami is also located in Coconut Grove where you can go out with a bunch of college students.  There's a huge art scene in Miami as well.  There are many art festivals that happen all year round or you can go to Wynwood.  There are also a ton of outdoor activities happening on the water if you're feeling adventurous.  You can also see Miami's Spanish roots all over the city through Little Havana or you can brush up your dance shoes at a number of salsa clubs too.  Miami is just a great city for a beach getaway with a metropolitan vibe.  

Accommodations

  • I usually just stay with my family in Miami but when I went for Spring Break with my roommate, it wasn't possible
  • We used AirBnB and divided our stay between Ale and Elena who were so nice and helpful throughout our stay here

Restaurants

  • My family and I always make sure to eat at Shorty's BBQ and La Carreta when we visit
  • Go to Mary Brickell Village for some amazing restaurants
  • Get a burger at Burger & Beer Joint 
  • Enjoy some boozy brunch at Balan's, Greenstreet Cafe or The Front Porch Cafe
  • Try some great sushi at Doraku
  • Get some late night pizza at Piola
  • For a great view of Miami, go to The Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne or Area 31
  • More pricey restaurants are Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita, Morton's, or Prime 112
  • Go to La Moon or La Sandwicherie for a great bite or go next door to Mamma Lucia 
  • There's also a Cien Montaditos in Miami if you're missing Spain

Clubs/Bars

  • The nightlife in Miami is insane and each neighborhood has a different vibe
