April showers have arrived in Miami, but rest assured the sunshine-fueled revelry continues this weekend across the Magic City. For starters, Record Store Day comes early this year (April 12), and with it a string of funky sidewalk sales and block parties celebrating all things vinyl and independent music. The month-long O, Miami Poetry Festival brings even more innovative literary events around town this weekend, too, including a "Choose Your Character" clothing swap and poetry pop-up at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. Whether you're here on holiday and looking to party at an epic Miami club or exploring the city with young ones in tow, there's an activity to fill your cup. Also on our must-do list is the return of the Miami Film Festival, which celebrates its 42nd edition of highlighting independent films at some of the city's most iconic venues. The weather forecast is warm and breezy, making right now an amazing time to get active, or slow down and enjoy Miami's simpler pleasures: beach days, nature walks, romantic park picnics, and waterfront brunches abound. There's an outdoor concert, vintage market or art-making activity for every stripe of weekend warrior. Ready to have some fun in the 305? Here are the best things to do in Miami this weekend.  RECOMMENDED: Things to do in Miami

In case you've missed it, Miami's dining scene has become one of the most exciting in the country and, arguably, the world. Over the last decade or so, the city's collective palate has matured to encompass so much more than steakhouses, Italian chains and homey Cuban spots (though we've still got plenty of those, too, and even a few in this guide). One day, you can be sipping cocktails at a sleek new omakase counter; the next, tucking into a bowl of golden-hued Peruvian ceviche. At least once during the season, you'll hopefully find yourself elbow-deep in a basket of stone crabs at a place that’s been around for a century. It's a beautiful, flavorful and occasionally overwhelming melange of cultures colliding on our plates in Miami, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Then there’s trying to balance out all these newcomers from New York with the old-school spots. You’ve got the classic restaurants—the ones your parents went to, the ones their parents went to—and you’ve got the new kids, the restaurants that pop up with a bang, get a few glossy reviews, and then vanish before you’ve even had a chance to figure out the parking situation. Some spots manage to straddle both worlds, delivering the kind of meals that stick with you long after the check has been paid. These are the places our editors have listed below: Miami’s best restaurants right now, along with our tried-and-true tips for reserving, ordering and more. April 2025: Last month, we did a hefty spring overhaul of t

April 2025: The spring breakers may have fled, but our Magic City is still blooming with parties, shows, sporting events and more fantastic reasons to leave the house every day this month. We're in the thick of Miami's festival season, too, so be sure to peep some of our top picks below. Of course, now is a great time to explore the outdoors and get your steps in while the weather's still mild. (We recently updated our guide to Miami's best hikes and nature walks, if that sounds like your journey). Dive into the action with our up-to-the-minute guide to the best things to do in Miami right now. Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond ounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305. Aside from dabbling in our famous nightlife and exploring Miami's best bars, no trip would be complete without scoping out the booming culinary scene and our award-winning Miami restaurants. In between sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails, check off these essential Miami experiences, a mix of year-round attractions, seasonal events, cultural staples and exciting one-offs vetted by our expert editors and contributors. (We're a team of born-and-raised locals and passionate Miami transplants with an unhealthy aversion to staying home). By the way, this list is curated, as always, but isn’t ranked—we just couldn’t choose favorites.

With peak spring break behind us and the hottest days still ahead, April is a sweet spot to get out and explore all the amazing things to do in the Magic City. The best April events in Miami include everything from beachside music festivals to fresh museum exhibitions and family-friendly activities galore. Miami Beach Pride returns for another packed schedule this month, featuring drag shows, fundraisers and the epic parade as part of its spectacular 11-day program. It’s also a great time to mosey back into the best clubs in Miami and the best Miami beaches now that the wild co-eds and Ultra ravers have all returned home. Whether you’re looking for a low-key activity or some high-energy fun, our list of the best April events in Miami has you covered. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

Pick a neighborhood in Miami: South Beach, Coconut Grove, Wynwood or Little Havana. No matter the night of the week, the Magic City is brimming with things to do, especially when the weather is mild and the storms keep at bay. Now that we've made it through peak spring break season, it's time to dive into any one of Miami's epic festivals on offer this week, or hide out at more low-key, curated affairs. Miami Beach Pride is also in full swing, and the annual O, Miami Poetry Festival has officially kicked off its month of literary programming across the city. Tortuga, La Pachange and Super Gayland will all satiate your desire to dance. Families can take in the Easter fun at Tinez Farms or explore the art-making activities and performances at the Kids Jamm at PAMM. Beyond the crowds, we've got tons of activities to jump into whenever the mood strikes—plus tourist attractions that even locals approve of. In this list, we've handpicked special events and happenings over the next seven days, enough to have you saying, "This was the best week ever." And if you're looking specifically for weekend events in Miami, we've rounded those up into a handy guide, too.

Miami is lauded for many things—like picturesque beaches, Michelin-rated restaurants, and extremely good-looking locals (that’s me)—but perhaps our most famous attribute is our passion for parties. Anytime, anywhere, the Magic City is ready to flip the switch from healthy to hedonistic. As a Miami-born party enthusiast myself, I’ve dedicated years of anthropological "research" to confirming this very fact. It is no surprise, then, that Miami boasts some of the best nightclubs in the world, complete with world-class productions, pyrotechnics, famous DJs, and state-of-the-art sound systems that’d make a goat scream sound like a symphony. Whether you’re into hip-hop or house, Latin or grunge, the Magic City has a dancefloor for you. Miami's best clubs are incredibly diverse, offering a mix of traditional megaclubs, loungey cabarets, and outdoor venues where you can get down. March 2025: For this latest update, we've shaken things up, removing popular spots that have since closed, such as Oasis, Domicile, and Racket. We also said goodbye to Mango's Tropical Café, partly because it's more of a performance venue known for its onstage entertainment than a club. You'll also notice we added buzzy Downtown club MODE. Without further ado, put on your dancing shoes and boogie on down to the best clubs in Miami right now.

Mornings in Miami come with consequences. That last tequila shot I took at 2am? A terrible idea. The blurry Uber ride home from a Miami club? A mystery best left unsolved. But fear not, because brunch—the city’s most sacred meal—is here to save us. Whether it’s a cortadito strong enough to restart your nervous system or a plate of chilaquiles at your local Mexican spot to silence regrets, Miami delivers. From bottomless rosé in South Beach to arepas worth a Sunday pilgrimage and an Instagram-worthy bagel tower, the best brunch in Miami will make you feel human again. Or at least human enough for round two. Let’s eat. March 2025: Early mornings aren’t the time to wade through dozens of options, so we’ve trimmed this list of the best brunches in Miami down to our favorites. Unfortunately, our favorite from last time, La Mar, is about to close and take a few months to relocate, but don’t stress, because we still have your morning-ish plans sorted with the new No. 1 spot Michael's—which just extended its weekend brunch to 5pm—plus a host of other favorites. 

Yes, Miami is that sun-soaked party playground we've all seen in the movies. But beyond the velvet ropes and late-night dance floors, this city contains worlds of adventure for families, friend groups and anyone looking to tap into their inner kid. We’re not just talking about the usual museums, parks and playgrounds (though Miami is home to some pretty spectacular ones). You'll also find innovative immersive art, a stunning natural swimming pool, aquatic obstacle courses and sprawling natural landscapes that beg to be explored. Rest assured, the best things to do with kids in Miami aren’t just for the little ones. We've curated this guide so the grown-ups can find something to love, too. Whether you’re getting up close with the local marine life, taking a day trip into South Florida’s untamed wilderness or soaking up culture with a cocktail in hand, Miami makes it easy to mix old-fashioned play with a little bit of flash and spectacle. So skip the long drive to Orlando and the same old sightseeing tours and dive into these unforgettable local experiences instead. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

South Beach: Miami’s O.G. epicenter of cacophonously touristy bars, home to the city’s sugariest, not-at-all-a-deal two-for-one drinks! But is that it? Is that all this balmy strip of barrier island has to offer? Come out with us for a night and you’ll think twice before writing off the bar scene in SoBe. Whether hidden within boutique hotels, tucked away in unassuming alleyways or proudly perched along the main thoroughfares, South Beach boasts an impressive array of watering holes that cater to every taste and vibe—you just need to know where to look. From sleek rooftop lounges with panoramic views to new neighborhood classics, here’s your guide to the best bars in South Beach right now. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to South Beach, Miami

Everyone knows what great pizza means to them. It could have a paper-thin, crispy base or one so doughy it’s comparable to a pillow; it could be an abundance of vegetables and cured meats or simply a great, classic margherita (for the purists). Some of us even crave a bit of pizza-induced controversy (fans of a white base or those who opt for a pineapple topping, we’re looking at you).  But no matter your preference, whether it’s socially acceptable or totally unhinged to everybody else, you’ll find your perfect pizza pie somewhere in the world, and somewhere on this list, too. That’s because we’ve asked our travel writers and international editorial staff about their absolute favourite spots for when they’re craving a pizza, from Cape Town to Lisbon, Buenos Aires to Miami. We hope you’re hungry – don your napkin and read on for the world’s very best pizzas.  RECOMMENDED:🥪The best sandwiches in the world🥩The best steaks in the world🍝The best cities in the world for food This list was edited by Liv Kelly, a writer for Time Out Travel.

Many of this country's most prized artworks can be found in the hallowed galleries of America's best art museums. But if you dare to break free from the white cubes and hushed halls of traditional art spaces, you’ll be treated to a feast for the senses. From coast to coast, the coolest art installations in the USA include rebellious recycled artworks, bizarre landmarks alongside desolate stretches of highway and sprawling sculpture gardens inside Southern swamps. And, believe us, you'll want to see them all.  From gorgeous outdoor galleries in Montana and graffiti corridors in Detroit to immersive indoor exhibitions in Santa Fe and Houston, these 18 astonishing installations are as creative as they are thought-provoking. (They also happen to photograph really well for a curated feed.) While most are on display year-round, a handful—like the Balloon Museum in Los Angeles—will last just a few short months. So start planning your epic American art road trip now! 

It’s been a fantastic year for new music. We’ve had long-running artists finally break through (hello, Chappell Roan), what felt like the longest and most carefully calculated album roll-out of all time (Charli, we’re looking at you), as well as niche new finds and epic comebacks from old faves (The Cure).  As the year draws to a close, it’s time to share our favourite albums of 2024. From intergalactic post-punk to gritty, lyrical hip hop, dance floor-ready pop and everything in between, grab your best headphones or line up the speakers: these are the albums Time Out had on repeat this year.

South Florida's iconic (and recently renovated) tiki bar the MAI-KAI is throwing a two-day party in celebration of Huntington Beach, CA artist David "McBiff" McNeley’s new print, The Mai-Kai Map. Six months in the making, the vibrant illustration pays tribute to Fort Lauderdale's historic tiki landmark. Come for the delightfully kitschy vibes and boozy tropical punch and stay for the nightly Polynesian revue. McBiff will be on-site signing limited-edition prints on Friday, April 11th from 6 to 9pm and Saturday, April 12th from 5 to 7pm.

Chef Shingo serves up art on a plate, so it's fitting that his Michelin-awarded Coral Gables omakase restaurant is hosting an actual art event in its adjacent gallery space. On Sunday, April 13th beginning at noon, enjoy complimentary green tea, sake and bites from Chef Shingo while exploring a curated collection of traditional Japanese ceramics, including Bizen-ware, Asahiyaki and Tambayaki, with 25% off all gallery items. Beyond the art, visitors can also partake in a live matcha ceremony and ikebana flower arrangements, plus meet and interact with Chef Shingo during the free event.

Leave it to Miami to find a way to turn even the most wholesome of activities into a rager. That's the vibe at Pups N Chill, minus the booze. The buzzy pop-up "morning club" takes over Bayside Marketplace on Sunday, April 13th with a high-vibe blend of wellness, music and rescue pups. Miami’s latest go-to social gathering for health and animal lovers hosts a packed lineup including puppy yoga, fitness classes, massages, cupping, cold plunges and live DJ sets, plus wellness brand pop-ups and giveaways. Starbucks joins as a sponsor with free coffee, and live puppy adoptions make it more than just a feel-good morning—it’s a chance to support shelter animals while treating yourself and your pup.

To celebrate Record Store Day 2025, Miami's beloved indie music shop Technique Records hosts a free, all-day rager celebrating all things vinyl in Miami's Upper Eastside. Stop in any time from 8am to 9pm to take advantage of cratefuls of new and used record drops, Record Store Day exclusives and giveaways, plus a sidewalk sale and outdoor lounge, coffee from Villain Coffee, drinks courtesy of Gramps Bar and tacos from Wolf of Tacos. DJs including Mike Deuce, Aramis Lorie, Jellybean Benitez and more will be spinning throughout the party.

Gramps goes full K-pop on Saturday, April 12th with a night of music curated by Tiny Waves and Endoxa Booking. From 7 to 11pm, the indoor-outdoor Wynwood mainstay hosts a high-energy dance party as DJ fortuneswan spins the genre’s biggest hits and deep cuts. The party’s 21+ with a $20 cover at the door.

One of our favorite rooftops, Esmé Miami Beach, hosts a new Sunday sunset jazz night featuring healthy eats and drinks, soul jazz and rare grooves with DJ Travis Acker of Tiki Tumbao Records from 4 to 6:30pm and three sets of live jazz by Thee D3 Trio from 6:30 to 10pm. The free party kicks off at 5pm, and happy hour runs through 7pm with $8 cocktails, $6 wine and $5 beer plus discounted bites.

Jimbo’s spirit lives on at Jimbo’s at Grampo’s, a heartfelt tribute to the legendary man behind Virginia Key's legendary Jimbo’s Shrimp Shack. On Sunday, April 13th, the 98th Royal Birthday Ceremony Celebration Holiday takes over Gramps Getaway from noon to 10pm with smoked fish dip aplenty, live music by The Jack Shealy Band (4 to 7pm) and a whole lot of love. Expect exclusive beer collab cans from Tripping Animals Brewery, limited-edition merch by Sun & Sons, a Jimbo’s look-a-like contest and a crowd as eclectic as the man himself. The party is all ages and free to attend, though RSVP is encouraged.

Masters of high-status hospitality Major Food Group opened their latest Miami outpost, Carbone Vino, in late 2024. Like its South Beach sibling, the Coconut Grove Italian spot was an instant hit. But unlike the velvet-roped Carbone of the beach, Vino has a different feel—still glamorous, but with less pretension and more warmth to match the eclectic waterfront neighborhood it calls home.  The front bar hums with after-work regulars and sleekly dressed couples sipping cocktails before dinner—or enjoying a full meal at the counter, which isn’t an option at Carbone proper. The unbuttoned vibe continues into the dining room, which is decked in Carbone’s signature tufted banquettes and extravagant florals, with fun throwback touches like black and red checkered floors, pleated chandeliers and funky artworks by the likes of Rene Ricard and Lola Montes.  As the name hints, Carbone Vino distinguishes itself most clearly with its outstanding wine collection, which is over 3,000 bottles deep. Curated by Major Food Group’s award-winning wine director, John Slover, the wine list offers a broader selection of wines by the glass that rotate daily, so there’s always something new to try. As for the food, the menu stays true to Carbone’s greatest hits—Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka, Veal Parmesan and Caesar Salad alla ZZ—while introducing new classics like Zucchini Fritti, Zuppa di Mussels with lamb sausage, a vibrant Radicchio & Gorgonzola salad and the luxurious Tortellini Tartufo Nero.

Miami's newly minted Museum of Sex (from the same folks behind NYC's famed institution) hosts back-to-back parties celebrating Miami Beach Pride. On Thursday, April 3rd, the Pleasure Journey Miami Beach Pride Party kicks off at 8pm and runs until midnight with beats by DJ @miguesphotobook. On Friday, April 4th, the Super Gayland party starts at 9pm and goes until 3am, with DJs @midnightservice.mia and @luisfernando.nyc providing the soundtrack. Both 21-plus events include access to the museum's titillating exhibitions and immersive Super Funland, as well as the sultry Stardust Lane Panoramic Theater show, the Merlandia live mermaid show in a 40-foot tank and free gameplay. One ticket ($44) includes entry for both days, and there's a full bar to purchase drinks, too.

Hampton Vintage, the beloved market known by Long Island locals as the Hampton Flea, pops up as part of the 23rd Annual Miami Beach Garden Tour, offering a curated selection of vintage treasures within the Miami Beach Botanical Garden. Shoppers can browse everything from rare designer finds to statement jewelry and emerging indie brands, surrounded by lush tropical flora. Entry to the Botanical Garden and market is free, though admission to the Garden Tour is ticketed ($50 to $60) and includes access to all the gardens, plus a flower "fashion" show, bites and a selection of plants available for sale.

Wynwood's Museum of Graffiti debuts TKID170 – Living Wild Style on April 5, celebrating Bronx-born graffiti legend Julius Cavero, aka Tkid170. A pivotal figure since the 1970s, his bold colors and intricate “wild style” lettering on the subway trains of NYC and beyond helped shape the global graffiti movement and inspired generations. The exhibition highlights his lasting influence, with a free opening night party starting at 7pm.

I’ve stayed at a handful of all-inclusive beach resorts, but none have come close to my experience at the new Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. First of all: St. Vincent is stunning—like a miniature Hawaii lush with tropical forests, misty cliffs and multiple rainbows a day (seriously).  Before this trip, I admit, I couldn’t point out St. Vincent and the Grenadines on a map. (It’s a little chain of volcanic islands just north of Venezuela and south of St. Lucia.) My primary references for Sandals’ resorts were the heart-shaped pools and steamy sunset silhouettes of '90s-era TV commercials. But I’m no stranger to the beauty and laidback charm of the Caribbean. So when I was invited to visit the latest Sandals property and get acquainted with the brand’s luxurious new direction, of course, I said yes. Photograph: Courtesy Sandals Saint Vincent During my stay, I quickly learned about Sandals’ legacy as a family-owned resort group, founded by Jamaican-born entrepreneur Gordon "Butch" Stewart in 1981 and helmed by his son, Adam Stewart, since 2021. Even though the young Stewart has been working on modernizing his late father’s vision, it was clear that he and the company remain committed to the same hospitality, warmth and fun spirit of the originals. It also didn’t take long to discover that Sandals guests tend to be deeply loyal to the brand. Many of my poolside conversations centered around couples’ previous trips to other Sandals and Beaches properties. (Beaches is t

Here at Time Out, our mission is to bring you the very best of Miami, and that very importantly includes Miami's best restaurants. Of course, on that mission, we editors find ourselves dining out quite a lot. Whether we're trying out the latest buzzy concept from one of the city's homegrown star chefs, hunting down the most delicious new smash burger in a tidal wave of Miami smash burgers or suiting up to make it past the velvet rope at South Beach's hottest new clubstaurant, it's all in day's work to present you with our findings. Though we don't give full, rated reviews to every Miami restaurant, bar or venue we visit, we take a lot of time and care with the ones we do. These writeups represent our honest impressions of the place, regardless of whether we were invited to experience it as a media guest or if we paid our own way. Our editors and contributors are committed to helping you decide where to go out in Miami and what to do with your time (and money), because we know it's precious. That said, we'll be recapping all the new Miami restaurants we review each month in one easily digestible post.

In case you need something else to be excited about heading into the last full week of 2024, two new highly anticipated Miami restaurants are slated to open their doors to the public for the first time this weekend. A third, from one of Miami's most lauded homegrown chefs, opened last weekend. As we know, 'tis the season to get your reservations in early, since the snowbirds will soon be flocking ashore, snapping up seats at all of Miami's most coveted restaurants. Let's break down three new Miami restaurants that are destined to become hotspots this winter. RECOMMENDED: Best of the City: The 14 best things Time Out Miami editors saw, ate and visited in 2024 Photograph: Courtesy Carbone VinoSpicy Rigatoni Vodka 1. Carbone Vino 2911 Grand Ave, Suite 194 Opening today, Major Food Group unveils Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove. The newest addition to MFG's ever-growing Miami portfolio follows a similar format as their other spots, including signature dishes like Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and Veal Parmesan, plus new items created by chef Mario Carbone, like a Shrimp Toast with bruschetta featuring ruby red shrimp, Calabrian chili and sesame. As the name hints, Vino also offers a dynamic beverage program featuring an extensive rotating selection of fine and rare by-the-glass offerings. With a design modeled off the original in New York’s Greenwich Village with art curated by gallerist Vito Schnabel, the restaurant's vibe is moody and romantic with a main dinin

Palm Beach just got a culinary upgrade with the opening of Malka, a kosher concept from famed Israeli chef Eyal Shani. When the beloved Tel Avivian restaurant opened its first NYC outpost last year, "Both the kosher and non-kosher masses flocked to the destination to indulge in the restaurant's legendary Malka schnitzel stuffed with mashed potatoes," Time Out New York's Anna Rahmanan wrote. Photograph: Courtesy Malka West Palm BeachThe most famous schnitzel Now, South Floridians (some might call us residents of the sixth borough) can try out the schnitzel for themselves, along with a mix of Malka classics and several new dishes original to the West Palm Beach location. Though this isn't the chef's first venture in South Florida (Shani is also behind the flashy HaSalon in South Beach), Malka West Palm Beach marks the concept's first U.S. outpost outside of NYC and the third outside of Tel Aviv. What sets apart Malka West Palm Beach is the history of the space it occupies—formerly (and ironically) a butcher shop and factory. Located at 209 6th Street in an up-and-coming swath of West Palm Beach waterfront, the restaurant already housed an open-fire wood-burning kitchen as its central focal point when Shani moved in. It's served as the inspiration behind much of Malka's menu. Photograph: Amit GeronThe open-fire kitchen at Malka West Palm Beach Mirroring the unique structure of the kitchen, the menu is divided into categories including Knife Works, Cast Iron Works and Fire Wo

Locals' hearts collectively broke when it was announced in July that Shuckers would close after more than 30 years in business. The North Bay Village go-to for casual waterfront dining was nestled at the base of a boutique Best Western hotel that had been charmingly spared from decades of Miami redevelopment waves, until now.  In perhaps one of the fastest renovations and rebrandings ever—even for Miami—Palm Tree Club is set to officially open to the public on December 21 at the former Shuckers and Best Western site. The lifestyle hospitality concept comes courtesy of DJ Kygo and Myles Shear’s Palm Tree Crew, in collaboration with Think Hospitality and New York and Miami-based Continuum Continuum. Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree CrewPalm Tree Club “We’re thrilled to launch Palm Tree Club and introduce our hospitality offering to Miami,” Shear said in a statement. “This is a new chapter for our brand, and it’s all about blending the energy of live events with the laid-back spirit of this historic waterfront retreat.” Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree Crew Interestingly, the 1970s-era property doesn’t look all that different than it did a couple of months ago when Shuckers closed its proverbial doors for the last time. This 115-room hotel and restaurant has been given a rapid refresh with tropical-inspired decor throughout, Art Deco-inspired room interiors, a 24-hour fitness center and an updated pool deck with complimentary chaise loungers, green striped umbrellas and automate

Christmas is around the corner and it's time to plan what you'll do (and wear) over the big holiday in Miami. Have you peeped the weather forecast lately? We've been watching the updates to help you make the most of this Christmas. Though we've had a week of warmer temps, higher humidity and scattered showers, things should clear up and cool down over the weekend, with predicted lows in the 50s. By mid-week, it looks like we’re in for a beautiful and mild Christmas Day, with Accuweather describing the outlook on December 25, 2024 as “sunshine and a few clouds.” What will Miami's Christmas Day weather be like?  The topline forecast for the big day is dominated by one word: lovely. According to Accuweather, temperatures in Miami on Christmas Day are expected to sit at around 70°F, with a high temperature of 75°F and a low of 68°F. At this point, the forecast for December 25 is looking relatively consistent across the city, with similar predictions for Miami Beach. Expect about 25% cloud cover throughout the day. Is it going to rain on Christmas Day? Presently, rain in Miami on Christmas Day is looking somewhat unlikely, with Accuweather predicting 0.00 inches of precipitation throughout the day. Other outlets, like The Weather Channel, show a 16% chance of rain in the day and a 24% in the evening. You might encounter a sprinkle or two, but the chances of a Miami thunderstorm on Christmas Day seem pretty low right now. What will the weather in Miami be like on Christmas Eve? Chr

We know our way around a piece of meat here at Time Out. So much so that we’ve just dropped our brand new list of the very best steaks in the world. Our writers and editors from across the globe have added to our top 10 of the mightiest meats, with a Miami steakhouse securing the No. 2 spot in the ranking.  Among the barrage of buzzy Miami restaurant openings over the last few years, Klaw in Edgewater stands out as a spot that not only passes the vibe check but also actually has the high-caliber menu to match. Klaw is a luxurious steakhouse perched at the top of a beautifully restored historic building with truly stunning views of Biscayne Bay, especially at sunset. And the prices reflect that. But on the extensive steak and seafood menu you can also find more approachable options, including one we've singled out as our favorite steak in Miami. Klaw has partnered with local ranchers to serve Florida Cracker Cattle, one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the U.S. (It’s claimed that one of their partners can trace the DNA of their cattle back to the original herd brought to Florida in 1521). Priced at $85, we went for the 16 oz. Florida Cracker striploin, cooked medium-rare. It was juicy and tender, and though it came with a side of two delicious sauces, we found its wood-fired flavor shines best on its own. Plus, Florida Cracker meat is high in Omega-3 fatty acids since the cattle graze on grass instead of corn. The list was topped by El Toro in Agadir, Morocco at number one

Waymo has just announced that it will expand its autonomous driving technology to Miami, joining Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, where the robotaxis have already taken over the streets (kidding!). Beginning in early 2025, Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs will be redeployed around Miami, building on previous road trips throughout Florida that were carried out during the rainy season to enhance driving capabilities. They aim to begin accepting rides in 2026, offering a driverless ride-hailing service via the Waymo One app.  Waymo (owned by Google's parent company Alphabet) has partnered with Moove, a global leader in innovative mobility solutions, to manage its fleet operations, facilities and charging infrastructure. "Ride-hailing has transformed urban mobility over the past 15 years, yet the core experience has largely remained unchanged,” says Ladi Delano, co-founder and co-CEO at Moove. "Together, we’re driving a major shift." So, how do Waymo's robotaxis work? Last year, we got to go for a ride in a Waymo car during the launch of the Waymo One Tour program in Santa Monica and Venice—and we’ve been (mostly) impressed ever since. “Riding in a self-driving car for the first time is anxiety-inducing, exciting and oddly normal—basically in that order," wrote our Los Angeles and Western USA editor Michael Juliano at the time. “Even if you routinely drive a car outfitted with advanced assistance features, it can’t prepare you for the radically different sensati

It's a dining guide that's as exclusive as it sounds: La Liste bills itself as "the most selective global guide of restaurants, pastry shops and hotels, for gourmets and international travelers," and it's just released its annual ranking of the best eateries in the world. The 2025 list is based on a "compilation of thousands of publications, hundreds of guidebooks and millions of online reviews." And four Miami spots have made the cut. We can't say we're surprised! Before we dive into the rankings, here's a bit on La Liste's methodology: According to the website, the staff aggregates reviews from over 1,000 guidebooks and publications, enters them into a database and then assigns each entry a score from 0 to 100 based on standard grades. But it goes even deeper: Chefs around the globe are asked to weigh in on the various guidebooks so that the outlets themselves can be given a "trustworthiness index" score that impacts the standard grade given to the restaurants. Finally, customer reviews are given consideration before each entry receives its official "La Liste score." This year, the top Miami restaurant with an 86.50 La Liste score is Naoe, a five-seat omakase counter on Brickell Key helmed by Kevin Cory, a chef with Japanese roots who studied under masters from Kyoto and Toyama before pioneering the now ubiquitous omakase restaurant experience in Miami. Interestingly, Naoe has yet to receive recognition from the Michelin Miami guide, though it's on our own list of Miami's b

Nightlife in Miami is notoriously over-the-top. Here, it's not unusual to segue straight from dinner to dancing on the tables. Fire dancers and aerialists come standard with bottle service and booming sound systems. And while most places are closing up shop by 2am elsewhere around the country, Miami's nightclubs are just getting started, with many staying up until 5am and a select few keeping the party going well into the daylight hours. In fact, a recent study confirmed that Miami parties later than any other city in the U.S. So it comes as no surprise that two illustrious Miami nightclubs have been named in Nightlife International's top 100 list for 2024. E11even Miami and Club Space just ranked in the No. 6 and No. 18 spots, respectively—joining iconic venues like Hi Ibiza (No. 1), Pacha Ibiza (No. 11), London’s Fabric (No. 26) and Berlin’s notoriously exclusive Berghain (No. 51). The list is produced annually by Nightlife International, the first non-profit organization in the world formed specifically to represent the main stakeholders in the nightlife economy. E11even and Space are longtime neighbors in Downtown, serving as anchors in a Miami neighborhood that's been steadily increasing its nightlife, dining and cultural offerings. Though they're both known for their debaucherous after-hours parties, the two clubs are actually quite different. Ranked 12 spots above Space, E11even bills itself as "the world's only 24/7 ultra-club," boasting headlining events nearly every

Los Angeles-based artist Vita Kari made waves during last year’s Art Basel Miami Beach after law enforcement showed up in response to their performance piece staged outside the convention center. The unsanctioned performance invited viewers to pour water on the artist as they sat inside a can-shaped plexiglass container. Water came from pallets of cans featuring the artist’s likeness, designed to look as if they were trapped inside. During the performance, which was interrupted by a Miami Beach code compliance officer in response to a complaint, Kari told Artnet News that they make work to “offer a disruption to the doom scroll” as a digital artist, but that they had also begun making such disruptions in real life, inspired by glitch feminism.  “That was actually the first performance piece I ever did, and it absolutely changed the course of my life,” Kari says of the 2023 Miami Beach performance, which highlighted water inequity and also functioned as an “experiment on empathy.” Since then, Kari has pulled off other performances, like one in which they were taped to a wall, but it was really an illusion. “The video piece circulated online and we made a fake newscast about it, and that was the performance piece in itself,” they tell us. This week, after a whirlwind year finishing their MFA, blowing up on TikTok and broadening their practice to include tapestry works, Kari returns to Miami Beach for another guerilla performance outside Art Basel, in addition to a show at Untit
