Miami after dark
Miami Beach bars serve until 5am under an extended licence, and E11EVEN downtown never actually closes its doors. South Beach clubs like LIV enforce table minimums and door lists that make walking up expensive. Wynwood is the cheaper, tattooed alternative, with breweries and warehouse bars that empty by two. Ball and Chain in Little Havana books live son and salsa onto a dance floor people genuinely use.
What things cost in Miami
Metromover costs nothing and Metrorail is $2.25 a ride, but neither of them reaches South Beach. Expect $20 to $30 for South Beach garage parking on a weekend evening. A Cuban sandwich and a cortadito in Little Havana lands near $12, while the same calories on Ocean Drive with service passes $45. Public beaches are free; the loungers set out in front of hotels are not.
What to eat in Miami
Order a cortadito at the walk-up ventanita at Versailles on Calle Ocho and drink it standing, which is the entire point. Croquetas de jamon, pastelitos and a Cuban sandwich cost a few dollars each at El Palacio de los Jugos. Stone crab claws at Joe's on South Beach are seasonal, mid-October to May, and priced accordingly. Little Haiti does griot and pikliz; Doral does Venezuelan arepas and cachapas.
What's actually worth your time in Miami
The Art Deco stretch of Ocean Drive between 5th and 15th is best walked at eight in the morning, before the pavement cafes start waving menus. Vizcaya's bayfront villa and formal gardens earn their roughly $25 ticket; Bayside Marketplace does not. Wynwood's murals are free from the street, though the walled Wynwood Walls compound charges admission. Domino Park on Calle Ocho is genuinely local rather than staged.
Miami's museums, and which one to pick
Perez Art Museum Miami hangs Caribbean and Latin American work inside a Herzog and de Meuron building draped in hanging gardens, and admission is free every second Saturday and Thursday evenings after five. Frost Science next door runs about $29.95 and includes the planetarium and a conical aquarium tank you descend around. The Wolfsonian in South Beach collects propaganda and industrial design from 1850 to 1950.
