Miami spots you need to check out

Victoria U.: They have their own wall of herbs and make great drinks. It can get a little clubby late on Fridays, but for the most part it is a great place to grab a drink

John Wriston: There are so many excellent things to do in this part of Miami. Be sure to check out all the galleries and incredible street art, especially during Art Basel!

Miami New Times: Best of Miami 2013- Best Barbecue: Shivers BBQ. After a long drive down to Homestead, you can enjoy the family owned BBQ and all their homemade suaces and recepies. Read more.

Miami New Times: As you stroll down Miracle Mile, make a night of it and stop by to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of Actor's Playhouse and enjoy a spectacular show! Godspell is a must see!

Victoria U.: The "abuelo" of all Cuban Restaurants in Miami. Open 24 hours and always packed. If you're lucky you'll see some of the Old Guard smoking cigars and bashing Castro

Victoria U.: One of the best Sandwiches you will ever have in Miami.

Eater: Cheap Cuban food, fresh fruits, veggies and a bakery known for it's fresh squeezed sugarcane, tamales and perfectly salty chicharones cut to order. [Eater 38 Member]

Victoria U.: Not South Beach, but a private great beach on the Bay. Less crowded and much calmer- come here for a more relaxing beach visit.

Victoria U.: You're in Miami, B****. This is where LeBron brought his talent, Dexter hunts for bad guys, and Michael from Burn Notice hangs out. But seriously, it is a great but crowded beach with excellent food

Victoria U.: This place is an institution, best kept secret though is the take out- slightly cheaper and no waiting.

Victoria U.: If you have never been, it's worth it for the views of the Beach, the views of the American Airlines Arena, and the people watching.

Victoria U.: Seriously good food and atmosphere. Perfect for groups.

Victoria U.: Best pizza outside of New York City.

Annie Quintana: Paris in Miami. Delicious.

Victoria U.: Bit of a trek but worth it for the cool drive down Card Sound and AWESOME conch fritters

@MisterHirsch: Absolutely some of the best street art & murals in Miami... All in one beautiful spot. Definitely stay awhile and take it all in.

Victoria U.: A great stroll through some beautiful Art deco buildings. You'll also feel like you're in a Tropical New York having Shake Shack, Ricky's, Dylan's Candy Bar, and H&M all in one spot.

Victoria U.: A relaxing bar that kind of feels like home.

Isa Reyes: Only open from December to April.

Victoria U.: The BEST Cinnamon rolls ever. Call ahead because they are closed for a portion of the year.

James Echols: I know it sounds odd, definitely try the Avocado wine.

Victoria U.: Gotta have some pastelitos.
