Man why is Miami such an unprofessional city?! Legit sitting in a hospital room at Kendall Regional Hospital after a health scare listening to the nurses and cleaning crew talking about which coworker is cheating on who and whose fucking who and it got me thinking, I’ve worked in Hospitals up north before, we can be a funky bunch, but damn we atleast tried to be professional at work. Nowhere in Miami that I’ve been is there much professionalism at work places, workers are seemingly rude/hostile at most places outside of Brickell, most everyone has an attitude, it’s legit the polar opposite of any major city in America. My Cardiologist called me Bro and had a fade haircut 🤣😫 This city is on some shit man.

Helmed by internationally renowned DJ-producer Behrouz and his partner Megan, Do Not Sit has earned a reputation for offering top-tier guest acts and underground sensibilities in a less pretentious setting and with a more accessible cover.

Time Out Miami
Hyde Beach Hollywood style found its way to South Beach in June 2012 when the SLS Hotel opened at the corner of Collins and 17th, and brought the ultra-exclusive Hyde nightclub with it. The daytime pool party is always a riot. We’re talking CO2 cannons, go-go dancers, fist-pumping out-of-towners and cocktails the size of football players. From Thursday to Sunday, the action continues well past sunset, when scenesters hunker down within the whimsical, Philippe Starck-designed club for A-list acts like Guy Gerber, Claptone and Kaskade.

Eleventh Street Pizza serves up two kinds of pies that both are stellar representations of their pizza genres. While a monster slice of NYC-style pep does a great job soaking up late-night drinking, the finest things here are thick Sicilian slices, big towers of dough covered with cupped pepperoni, wild maitake mushrooms with caramelized onions and a Provencal number with roasted red onions, confit garlic and pepperoncini. Time Out tip: The Japanese milk bread garlic rolls are both sweet and savory, so much so that you’ll probably want a second order for dessert.

Unique thing to do in Miami: Watch a movie in 4DX at Regal Kendall Village 🍿🎥! This theater fully immerses you into whatever movie you’re watching. I watched Alien Romulus and the effects made it so much more scary 👻. Would you watch a movie in 4DX?
Time Out Miami
Angelina's Eatery & Cafe Angelinas is Midtown’s neighborhood coffee shop, and a rebrand in 2022 brought on both a cleaner look and new menu to the space. Now, you can grab a delicious shakshuka with a drip coffee, or opt for other AM hits like avocado toast and sandwiches. It’s a great spot for a simple Sunday morning, a midweek break, or a quick cortado to go.
Dish Miami
At Fiola Miami, the marriage of exceptional food and wine is an art form. Their extensive, carefully curated wine list boasts a diverse selection of Italian and international labels, ensuring the ideal complement to your chosen pasta. Pastas can change, but if you spy the wagyu beef cappelletti or the caviar “carbonara” on the menu, make sure you order at least one of them (but ideally both). This is a fine dining establishment, so expect a hefty price tag, but it’s definitely worth splurging.

The Only Theater In Miami Where You Can Watch “Twisters” In 4DX. And if you haven’t experienced the immersive thrill for yourself, don’t fret! The film is returning to 4DX for one week only, starting August 30. And it won’t be the only disaster film on the bill — 1996’s “Twister” is getting the same treatment, making for an epic double feature! What is 4DX? Unlike your average theater experience, 4DX practically puts you in the film with the help of special effects. You’ll sit in a motion-enabled seat that will move you along with every twist (see what we did there) and turn on the screen. And when a tornado comes into frame, you’ll be met with wind, rain, fog and scents perfectly synced with the film. Basically, you’ll be storm chasing alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell!
Time Out Miami
Royd’s It was a sad day when Casa Larios closed its Flagler and South Miami doors, but we’re happy to report that the King and Queen of Miami Cuban cuisine are back! Chef Quintin “Nene” and Maria Teresa Larios have taken over the kitchen at Royd’s, bringing arroz y frijoles to the Redlands. You can once again enjoy the 95-year-old chef’s masitas de puerco and pollo asado along with farm fresh batidos made with produce picked onsite. It’s all bizarrely set amidst an old Western outpost, featuring live music on Saturdays, a dog park and even a pioneertown jail.

Islas Canarias Only one restaurant can make Miamians from all corners of Dade County drive into the deepest depths of West Kendall just for croquetas, and that’s Islas Canarias. They’re so popular, the Miami-Dade commission named an entire street after them. And though this is incontestably the restaurant’s flagship dish, this establishment has been whipping out impeccable family recipes since 1977, like their succulently garlicky palomilla hidden under a bed of glazed onions. Pair your main with a side of their arroz morro cooked with pork rinds, which you can also order at the café and bakery just a mile away. No time to eat in? The 26th Street location touts a drive-through where the number one order is, you guessed it, croquetas.

Knaus Berry Farm has earned quite a reputation for its sweet cinnamon buns, so much so that fans usually line up for hours to get their hands on some.

And keep in mind that they only take cash!

Lincoln Road Farmers’ Market Before big-name stores and theaters commanded Lincoln Road, the pedestrian mall was well known for its weekend farmers market. Over the years, this small operation has grown from a few tables on the eastern end of the strip to a large fair that stretches nearly the entire length of the road. Find produce, housewares, fresh-cut flowers and specialty items like artisanal bread and homemade jams available all throughout. Though open year-round, the farmers’ market is at its most magical when it coincides with the Lincoln Road Antiques & Collectibles Market, which happens every other Sunday between October and May.

Time Out Miami
Legion Park Farmers’ Market Legion Park is the place to be on a beautiful Saturday morning, as tents pop up from Biscayne Boulevard all the way to Biscayne Bay. Run by Urban Oasis Project, which oversees some of Miami’s most important farmers markets, you’ll find produce from local favorites like Little River Cooperative and French Farms, artisan-made goods like fresh breads, hummus and empanadas (the Chilean ones are excellent), and even dog treats. (Don’t worry, Fido always gets a free sample.) In the morning, a hundred or so yogis gather under the Spanish-oak draped banyan trees for a donation-based yoga class, and then stock up on goods from some of the new age vendors onsite. When to go: Saturdays 9am–2pm, year-round
Time Out Miami
Coconut Grove Farmers’ Market The Coconut Grove Farmers Market is probably Miami’s most well-known. Every Saturday, Homestead's Glaser Organic Farms transforms an unoccupied corner of Coconut Grove into a full-fledged produce market with dozens of fruit and vegetable stands, a raw bar featuring prepared foods and salads and coolers filled with cold-pressed juices and nut mylks. There’s even velvety vegan ice cream for sale and several rows of picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your bounty. Along its periphery, you’ll find other local vendors selling honey, homemade soaps, handmade jewelry and other artisanal items. And the setup and breakdown are so fascinating to watch! Much like the circus leaving town, everyone quickly dismantles their tents and packs up just after sunset, leaving no trace of the bustling day on the empty gravel lot. 3300 Grand Ave, on the corner of Margaret St and Grand Ave. When to go: Saturdays 10am–7pm, year-round

The Restaurant Guide
Elastika: New social club in the Design District serving modern American dishes in an amazing setting. Inspired by Miami’s international community and The Moore’s century-long legacy of art, design and culture, Elastika acts as a culinary canvas, where eclectic dishes and soulful cooking come to life in an approachable environment. The Moore Miami Building holds the unique distinction of being the first and oldest standing building in the Miami Design District. Impeccably preserved, it’s been a venue of rotating uses in recent years, for art fairs and private events, public markets and chic parties. But today, every inch of this 90,000–square-foot building is getting put to good use; especially the first floor with Elastika, an architecturally stunning restaurant with flavors to match. The abstract floor tiles, curved sage seating and Taj Mahal quartzite on every surface evoke a feeling of serene playfulness, but the true star of the entire room is Elastika itself, a sculpture by Zaha Hadid commissioned for the inaugural Design Miami in 2005 for which the restaurant is named. There is no feeling quite like sitting under it, imagining it expand and contract like putty as it stretches from the bottom all the way up to the fourth floor of this light-filled space.
