Our favorite thing to do on Saturday mornings is to take a stroll to the farmers market for some delicious baked goods and local foods and crafts. The vendors change every week (though there are some beloved staples like Nisha's Indian food and two awesome bakeries) and everyone is super friendly. There is a playground at Legion Park as well if you want to make it a family activity.

If you are looking for an authentic Cuban breakfast, this is your place. Get a cafecito and a Cuban sandwich, and make sure you get a guava cheese empanada for dessert (because breakfast deserves a dessert, too!). Closed on Sundays.

Drinks & Nightlife

Our neighborhood brewery happens to be the best in Miami (in our humble opinion!). Awesome selection of beers by the friendliest head brewer ever (ask him for his story - it's very cool!). They also have ping pong tables and a kids play area - perfect chill weekend activity for all ages.

Great spot for high quality cocktails at a more affordable price on South Beach (about $12 per drink). Excellent place to start a night out on the beach. The drinks, the bar's food menu and the bartenders are all equally awesome.

You would never guess this happening Little Havana bar and music venue is one of the city's oldest places to grab a drink. This is the perfect nighttime spot for a mojito, some cuban food and dancing. Head out to the bar's backyard to find a massive pineapple-shaped band shell packed with musicians playing great, live salsa music.

Parks & Nature

Our neighborhood's namesake park. This is the easiest place to go for a run by the water and enjoy a gorgeous view of Biscayne Bay. Our friends run the kayak and stand-up paddle board rental shop in the park - let us know if you want to get on the water, and we can get you a discount with them! Brand new state of the art tennis courts are also located at the entrance of the park.

We love this beach on Key Biscayne for its shady spots under palm trees and general chill-ness compared to South Beach. Bonus points if there's a hammock you can bring to set up shop between palm trees and live your best life.

Even if museums are not your thing, this is worth a trip for the stunning architecture and unparalleled views of the bay. Enjoy a meal or a drink on their terrace, swing on the swings or browse the gift shop.

One of Miami's premier venues for classical music - the Frank Gehry designed New World Center is the place to be for symphonic music. They broadcast their concerts on their outdoor theater and also show free movies alfresco. Perfect for picnics and enjoying some under the stars!

Entertainment & Activities

Ok, yes, this is super touristy but here's the thing - it's actually really fun! These guys take you on a 90-minute boatride starting at Bayside in Downtown and show you the houses of the rich and the famous. We recently did it and had a blast! Try to go about an hour before sunset for the best views (and most instagrammable pictures).
