It’s funny how a huge international city can feel like a small town sometimes. I met a fellow birder at Fairchild Gardens who gave me a local tip when I lamented that I had not seen any hummingbirds in the wild. He said go to Castellow Hammock Park [22301 SW […]

One of my favorite things about staying in Hollywood, Florida was the easy access to Broward County’s truly awesome and diverse park system. The parks are free during the week and inexpensive during the weekend (check website for pricing), and there are so many to choose from! Best overall: +Anne […]
I didn’t only eat ice cream and donuts in Miami, that would be absurd. I ate cookies too! Night Owl Cookies [10742 SW 24th St, Miami, FL 33165] was packed with a lot of college kids and people waiting to pick up UberEATS orders. I wish I had a place like […]
Cardon y El Tirano, 3411 SW 8th St Miami, FL 33135 Dark and romantic, killer wine, BB King playing, excellent décor – this place has got a goood vibe and food to match. The cuisine takes from Latin American cultures and is in tapas form. We ordered four small plates […]
South Florida has quite a few quality spots to play pinball, but there aren’t that many options right in Miami itself. Arcade Odyssey [Pine Lake Shopping Center, 12045 SW 117th Ave, Miami, FL 33186] was the go to spot to get our fix! In the Kendell neighborhood it was a […]
Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132 Downtown by the waterfront, but a world of it’s own, this is a premiere contemporary art museum. I loved walking around looking at the skyline, and felt that the huge white head looked familiar – after a trip to […]
Cream Parlor, 8224 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33138 This right here is some of the best tasting I’ve ever had! The employees are so friendly and genuinely seem excited to offer you samples. The flavors are off the hook and very creative. The most popular are unicorn poop which is a […]
Pure garden: Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden If you’re looking for a true botanical garden experience, there is no better place in the area! Expansive grounds are filled with exotic plants and flowers and miles of trails to walk. I specifically loved the spiny trees in the Forest of Madagascar and […]
It’s the world’s fastest game and you may never have heard of it. Jai Alai isn’t very common in the United States, but more popular in Latin America. However, you can discover the sport at Casino Miami [3500 NW 37th Ave, Miami, FL 33142] and watch matches for free. How […]
Bustling South Beach is the place to be in Miami. Walking down Ocean Drive and Collins Ave with all of the restaurants and shops is something you should experience. But if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t necessarily want to be in the place to be, there are other […]
Not too long ago, the Wynwood District was an industrial area you’d have no reason to go, and may feel uncomfortable driving through. But if you build it, they will come. Some paint transformed the drab slum into a hipster haven, and it is thriving. Today, Wynwood Walls is one […]
Cuba is just a few hundred miles off shore from Miami. The culture of its people has enriched the city and blessed it with some of the best food you will ever eat. After spending a month in the Miami area, here are the best Cuban restaurants in the city […]
