How to burn MIAMI to the ground!!!

Posted a similar thread a few months back, but wanted to check back in to see if there are any more Miami regulars (monkeys) in here.

I'm going on a 4 day trip with some family and friends down to Miami for vacay. What are the best places for breakfast, lunch, day drinking, dinner, night drinking, must see places, must do things, etc, etc - I NEED SOME HELP!!

With only 4 days I think the burning the city to the ground part will be difficult, but what do you monkeys have for me?!

On Miami Beach:

Bolivar is a terrific Columbian/South American restaurant for lunch or dinner.

Yardbird is an excellent Southern-style comfort food restaurant.

Bodega has amazing tacos if you're looking for a quick bite.

Big Pink for brunch/late night eats. It's open from 8am to like 6am.

Basement is a really fun club. It's in the Basement of the EDITION and it's a bit more relaxed than LIV or Story if you're going with family

-Brickell-Check out Brickell City Center during the day (brand new Swire built mixed use multi-billion dollar outdoor mall), If you're here during the night take the elevator up to top of hotel to check out rooftop bar Sugar with panoramic city/water views. Komodo is a great spot for dinner and lounge drinks.

-About 15 minutes drive south of Brickell is Coconut Grove (great walk able laid back area with shops and restaurants on the water) I would also check out Vizcaya which is a famous old mansion (similar to a Vanderbilt estate) right on the Bay with an amazing garden.

-New Frost Science Museum/Perez Museum of Modern art are right next door to each other and worth the price of admission right on the waterfront/Biscayne. Go Saturday/Sunday afternoon so you can catch the cruise ships leaving the harbor.

-Check out Wynwood Art Walls and design district. Multiple spots for insta profile worthy pics here.

-20 minutes north of the beach on Collins is the Bal Harbour Shops which is South Florida's answer to 5th ave or Rodeo Drive. Great spot to window shop and people watch.

 

Do hyde beach club, they keep the ratio better than 1-1 for guys but you’re gonna have to spend.

Agree with walk around ocean drive on the lower streets and see what’s going on. Will be a ton of promoters, most are full of it, but some can hook you up.

Food try and avoid the spots where you have people soliciting outside unless your just getting drinks and you want to people watch.

Meet girls if you can during the day, makes the rest of the trip a lot easier..

Great spot, I haven’t ventured out much from Miami Beach but if you have time I agree check out the Brickell/wynnwood areas either day or night.

 

Miami and Miami Beach are overrrun with tourists and too hectic.

I prefer Coconut Grove, (just south of Miami proper), for a more laid back feel.
