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

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 cools down and those pesky tropical rainstorms let up. Now that we've made it to 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. La Pachange at Ball & Chain, Young Franco at ZeyZey and the weekend lineup at Club Space and E11EVEN will all satiate your desire to dance. Or peruse the colorful blooms at The Berry Farm's springtime Flower Festival. 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.

We're in the thick of spring break season in Miami, and though lawmakers down at the beach have been pushing for an end to the boozy revelry these last couple of years, the 305 is undeniably reaching a fever-pitch of co-ed-fueled fun from day to night this weekend. For starters, viral podcaster Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy fame is bringing an influencer-packed festival to the SLS South Beach this Thursday to Sunday as part of her inaugural Unwell Weekend. But 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. At the top of our must-do list is the return of our star-studded Miami Open tennis tournament at Hard Rock Stadium, which kicked off on March 16th and runs through the 30th. The weather forecast is glorious, making right now an amazing time to slow down and enjoy Miami's simpler pleasures: beach days, nature walks, romantic park picnics, waterfront brunches, vintage markets. There's a flower festival, outdoor concert or after-hours party 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

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.

Music festivals in the U.S. are changing. Yes, there are still the major annual blowouts, from Coachella in California to Ultra in Miami. But just in the last year or so, we’ve bid farewell to four beloved festivals previously on this guide: Electric Zoo in New York, Wonderbus in Ohio, Hangout Fest in Alabama and Pitchfork in Chicago. Tastes shift, crowds evolve. But as the dust settles on those festivals, new ones have sprung up in their stead. New to our 2025 update is III Points, a Miami music festival showcasing left-field electronic acts. Rolling Loud, the world’s largest hop-hip music festival, has also joined the ranks. And it’s no longer just about the bands or DJs performing—we want more and better food and drink options, wellness activations, cultural experiences and spaces for kicking back socializing all woven into our festivals, too. Luckily, whether it's well-known festivals like Bonnaroo in Tennesse and the Governors Ball in New York or more niche festivals like Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, there’s likely an epic musical gathering that caters to you. From pop and country to EDM, rock and folk—if you're looking to dance your way through the year, we have you covered. Here are the best music festivals across America in 2025. 

Dining in Miami is an extreme sport. One week, you’re sipping cocktails at a sleek new omakase counter; the next, you’re elbow-deep in a basket of stone crabs at a place that’s been around for a century. 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, though, 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 I've listed below: Miami’s best restaurants right now. March 2025: With spring in full swing, we’ve refreshed our list to add a few new stunners that are turning heads, swapped out not-hot-anymore spots, and, as always, kept a close eye on which places are truly delivering. For the first time in years, our list of the best restaurants in Miami has a new No. 1 pick, Sunny's. A spot so beloved that it's nearly impossible to score a reservation—but that doesn't keep us from trying. We've also done quite a bit of trimming to keep only the essential places. Because in a city where choice reservations can be harder to snag than a parking spot in Brickell, you want to make every meal count.

As Miami's most steadfast rave festival, Ultra can be relied upon to deliver a massive lineup of hard-hitting EDM, techno, house and underground dance music in the heart of Downtown Miami year after year. It's a beast of a fest, one which beckons thousands of fans (dubbed "Ultranauts") from around the world for three days of chest-rattling bass, cutting-edge production and truly over-the-top party vibes. This year’s Ultra is slated to be bigger and bolder than ever as the festival celebrates its 25th anniversary at Bayfront Park, upping the ante with even more star power, brand-new stages, and never-before-seen performances including visionary artists Solomun and Anyma (b2b), the return of drum and bass icon LTJ Bukem, and a rare live set from Pendulum b2b with a special ‘retro5pective’ throwback set from deadmau5. Get the rundown of every artist playing this year with the full Ultra Miami 2025 lineup—and keep up with schedule and live stream info, must-see acts and related shows. How do I buy tickets for Ultra Miami? Tickets for Ultra 2025 are available on the festival’s official website. If you haven’t purchased tickets yet, you’d better hop to it—the festival is 93% sold out as of February 21st. The last remaining General Admission (GA) tickets are priced $449.95 plus fees. Ultra-posh revelers can also purchase VVIP tables (price, TBD) with TAO Hospitality Group via this online form. Each VVIP Table booking includes admission tickets, a private check-in and red carpet esco

The sun is out and there's definitely a hint of la dolce vita in this beautiful March Miami breeze. So skip the flight to Venice and head to Torno Subito instead, where two top chefs have joined forces on a transportive two-night tasting menu experience in the spirit of Italia. On March 20 and 21, Chef Bernardo Paladini of Massimo Bottura's Torno Subito and Chef Vania Ghedini of Michelin-starred Oro by Hotel Cipriani will present six courses that blend their own deep-rooted Italian traditions with bold, modern techniques—think velvety Risi e Bisi with briny cuttlefish, a luxe Smoked Eel Tortellino and a Crispy Tiramisu that reimagines the classic dessert with an unexpected crunch. Tickets are $195 per person via OpenTable.

F1 races aren't the only way for Miami adrenaline junkies to get their fix. The NASCAR Cup Series roars into Homestead-Miami Speedway from March 21 to 23 for a high-octane weekend that's both family and wallet-friendly. Pack up your own soft-sided cooler with all the essentials, kick back in a reserved grandstand seat and take in the action with some of the most thrilling racing on the circuit. Choose from full weekend admission or a Sunday-only ticket for the main event on March 23. Parking is free and little race fans can get in on the action, too: Tickets for kids 12 and under cost $10 with a paid adult (one adult ticket allows up to four youth tickets).

LEGACY takes its No Days Off mentality to a whole new level with the first-ever No Days Off Con, an intense weekend of workouts, wellness and community at the sleek new LEGACY HQ in Little River. Like his gyms and signature workouts, founder Manning Sumner has designed LEGACY’s inaugural conference around more than just fitness—it’s a full experience meant to challenge, recharge and inspire. Run club meetups, breathwork sessions, live podcast tapings and the epic LEGACY Games are all on the schedule, along with wellness perks like complimentary B12 shots, micro Botox and recovery therapies. There's also an impressive lineup of athletes, entrepreneurs and industry leaders dropping in to share their knowledge and push your limits. Weekend passes cost $50 on Eventbrite. 7400 NW Miami Ct

Florida Daddy Gang, at attention! Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy fame is taking over spring break in Miami with her first-ever Unwell Weekend, packing a who's who of influencers, wellness acitivies and poolside ragers into three nights at the SLS South Beach. From March 20 to 23, the IRL meetup promises a mix of fitness classes, water sports, exclusive parties and surprise celeb appearances from Unwell Network's inner circle, including Cooper herself, Madeline Argy, Hallie Batchelder, Harry Jowsey, Grace O’Malley, Owen Thiele and Avery Woods. Expect six main events—including a welcome bash and one final blowout featuring a mystery musical guest—all fueled by Unwell Hydration, White Claw, Crocs and Bondi Sands. Guaranteed entry costs $25 per event (that includes food and an open bar), or take your chances in the free GA line. VIPs staying at the SLS get full access to everything, from pilates and pickleball to sunset yacht cruises and jet skis.

Link up with Miami's futbol-loving masses at Wynwood Marketplace, where every goal and tackle of the World Cup Qualifiers will be streaming over 20 high-definition screens. The sprawling open-air venue is an ideal spot to sip a cold beer and cheer on your favorite clubs. In between matches, take your place at the beer pong table, toss some cornhole bags and fuel up with food from the on-site vendors. Major matchups include Brazil vs. Colombia, Ecuador vs. Venezuela and Argentina vs. Brazil. Beer specials will be running all night, and the first 250 guests who RSVP and claim their drink within the first 15 minutes of each game will score a drink on the house. The parties kick off on March 20 and run through March 25.

Tuesday and Saturday nights are prime times to get an authentic taste of Miami's vibrant salsa scene at La Pachanga, a free live music and dance party in the heart of Little Havana. The historic Calle Ocho venue opens up its doors, spilling the sounds of Miami's best salsa bands onto the streets as revelers sip excellent mojitos and take to the wooden dancefloor. Ball & Chain also hosts free salsa and bachata dance classes regularly (check their website for the latest schedule), so you can brush up on your moves—or just watch the pros do their thing as they twirl and gyrate around the crowds.

Spring has fully sprung at The Berry Farm’s fifth-annual Flower Festival, returning Saturdays and Sundays through March 30. Wind your way through a four-acre sunflower maze and snap the perfect springtime photos in front of the kaleidoscopic zinnia and marigold blooms. Beyond the flowers, family-friendly activities include gem mining and Scottish Highland cow encounters (yes, those unbelievably cuddly Scottish Highland cows that somehow always end up on your feeds). Talk about a wholesome way to welcome the season.

Take in the blooms and gawk at all the latest baby farm animal arrivals at Tinez Farms, where spring-themed Easter fun takes over through April 20. Little ones can explore the animal barnyard and have their run of the farm's impressive slides and inflatables—all included with admission. For an extra sprinkling of farm magic, pony rides, baby goat feedings, the Cow Barrel Train and an interactive Eggsperience are available as add-ons. The farm is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

What's happiness to you? If it involves sunshine, blue skies and the ocean lapping not too far away, heading to the World Happiness Summit in Miami Beach is likely a great first step on your journey to discovering true bliss. New World Center hosts this educational gathering on March 15th and 16th, bringing together global thought leaders to tackle big ideas including hope, community and wellbeing in the heart of South Beach. Insights come courtesy of experts including Arthur C. Brooks, Dr. Laurie Santos and Prof. Lord Richard Layard, alongside specialists in medicine, psychology and public health. Expect keynotes, breakout sessions, meditation, yoga, and live music, plus plenty of networking opportunities, book signings and guided group activities.

Dig out your skinny jeans, fire up the old flat iron and draw on your eyeliner extra heavy tonight. We're going full indie sleaze on Saturday, March 15th as Sleaze Freaks takes over Gramps. It's a naughtily nostalgic night of dance-punk, electroclash and alt-rock bangers with DJ Miss Purple Shampoo behind the decks. Gather your top eight and dance yrself clean to a set of era-defining tracks by The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem and more. And don't forget to charge your Cybershot—we're expecting a full Facebook album in the morning.

William Shakespeare once wrote that "All the world's a stage." We're not sure if that's true, but we can at least confirm that all of Downtown Miami is a stage—especially during Street Stages. This free winter series transforms the urban core into an open-air concert venue, bringing live performances to historic Flagler Street through March 22. Step into the action every Thursday and Saturday from 5 to 8:45pm at 223 E Flagler Street, right by the Julia & Henry’s food hall. Presented by Olympia Arts MIAMI, the eclectic performance lineup includes jazz, Latin pop, funk, R&B, electronica, opera, and more—plus jugglers, comedians and performance artists. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a refreshing way to take in Miami’s popping performance arts scene.

The always festive Copper 29 gastropub in downtown Coral Gables turns up for St. Paddy's Day with $13 Car Bomb cocktails from March 15th to 17th. Sip on the Guinness, whiskey and Baileys classic in a retro-chic lounge setting decked out in pink neon, chandeliers and leather sofas. Keep the party going with half-off premium drinks, wells, wine and beer during happy hour (5 to 8pm daily).

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.

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
