Welcome to Miami
Miami exudes joy. With warm weather, a rapidly growing food scene, and such a creative spirit, it has become one of my favorite travel destinations. People are living out loud in Miami, and everything from the music to the food and the attitude about life is a reflection of that. And although the city has has a reputation for A-list restaurants touting velvet ropes, bouncers and mediocre food, these days it’s not hard to find places that are more about the food than the scene. When I visit the beautiful city of Miami, here a few spots that I like to grab a bite and stay.
