"This Michelin-starred concept from NYC is split between an elegant dining room, a chic cocktail bar and an 11-seat secluded sushi den inspired by a Tokyo izakaya. In any setting, you’ll sup on some unforgettable fish. We’re big fans of the salmon tataki drizzled in a kelp dashi dressing."

Led by a brother, sister, and father team lovingly referred to a the “Chang Gang,” Itamae combines their Peruvian heritage with Japanese classics.

"If you want a high-end dining experience that’s fit for A-list celebrities, all you have to do is step through the doors of Naoe. One of Miami’s best-kept secrets, Naoe is the tiniest of the Japanese restaurants that can only hold eight people at a time—no wonder getting a reservation is so tough here!. However, once you finally manage to get a table, you’re in for a culinary experience that’ll stay with you for a lifetime."

"After shutting down his spot on Sunny Isles, sushi chef Kevin Cory relocated his acclaimed NAOE to Brickell Key, and he hasn’t missed a beat.

Having welcomed celebrities like Beyoncé, David Beckham, Dwayne Wade, and Marc Anthony, this is one of the top spots in Miami to see and be seen.

The SOBE sculpturer pays tribute to the late artist Robert Indiana, whose sculptures are universally recognized as symbolic of these same messages, and looks totally cute in pink."

Perfect for that mid-day coffee break, order a cappuccino, a double macchiato, a latte or some other form of coffee and mix it with your choice of almond, oat, hemp or organic whole milk. Our choice combo is an oat milk latte with a PB Energy bowl: an açaí bowl with banana, peanut butter, strawberries, granola, goji berries, almonds and cacao nibs."

"Pura Vida is a cafe located in Design District, serving as a brilliant option for the health-conscious individual. From superfood smoothies and fresh salads to acai bowls and all-day breakfast, the menu is bursting with clean food, prepared using local and organic ingredients. For those looking for something a little more sugar-coated, don’t worry — there’s also a selection of scrumptious sweet treats to take your fancy (we’ve got our eye on the Brownie Krispy Crunch)!"

"You may be deemed basic if you head over to Pura Vida for an acai bowl, but haters gonna hate, and acai bowls are still gonna thrive. They’re yummy, they’re “healthy,” they’re everything a basic betch loves."
