You probably come from a city with a highly evolved mass transit system, but that’s not us. Miami’s leaves lots to be desired with the exception of the Brightline. The country’s only eco-friendly, inter-city high-speed rail resumes service on November 8, and it’s introducing a brand-new food hall in its MiamiCentral station for its grand return. Citizens opens with 11 of its 16 stalls, featuring well-known favorites like Umami Burger, Krispy Rice and Cindy Lou’s Cookies. Grab a bite before or after hopping the modern, upscale train to explore nearby Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, where last-mile service (free rides to your final destination) will be available in early December.
We never thought we’d feel this way but, we miss tourists. Specifically, our international visitors who, as of November 8, are free to visit the U.S. and can make their way back to Miami once again. Sure, it’s been nice finding parking in Miami Beach and we can finally get a reservation at Miami’s best restaurants, but there are so many places that could benefit from the love of our far-flung guests. For instance, there’s been no one here to drink those oversize and overpriced margaritas on Ocean Drive or European travelers to pack our supper clubs of which there are more than ever before in Miami. Museums have reopened, festivals are returning and the city is ready to welcome back visitors with more things to do than we’ve seen all year. Below, a few ideas for your next jaunt to the Magic City.
