South Beach
- Scenery: Look at that picture above. Go to South Beach, even if it just to walk around. Your best bet is to walk along the beach in front of the Fountainebleu and Sagamore hotels. All the good ones are off Collins Ave.
- Food: Joe's Stone Crab. I hate seafood and I still loved the place.
- Nightlife: Mango's on Ocean Dr. Look, nowaday's there's no way I'd go there. But if you're young and you want to experience a stereotypical Miami nightclub, go there. Mango's also produced the funniest story from my 2009 trip to see the Cincinnati game.
- Shopping: If you're making the trip with your significant other, there's a bunch of boutiques on a pedestrian mall on Lincoln Road between Alton Road and Washington Avenue. There's a parking garage near Alton that's a good place to use as basecamp.
- Food: If seafood isn't your thing, I found a great Italian restaurant on that pedestrian mall near Alton Road. I'm pretty sure it was Quattro.
- Nightlife: If you don't want a dance club, there's a Hofbrauhaus on the same ped mall. Great place to drink great beer.
- Nightlife: If you're like me and you often want to be where people aren't, I did manage to find what is probably the only Irish pub on South Beach, Finnegan's Way. They've got shuffleboard and TVs, so it was right up my alley.
