South Beach's BEST Restaurants and Coffee 🤤

Traveling and eating is the best formula for an amazing life.
I dare say that people love eating as much as they love traveling. 
And, if you've ever visited a foreign place or country, you'll know that eating at a local food spot is the most important part of the experience. 
So why do travelers need to sample local fare? 
Experiencing local food and offerings is also being able to understand the culture of a community. 
And in such a tourist-heavy neighborhood like South Beach, it's not so easy to find reasonably-priced, genuinely delicious restaurants.
But don't form a frown onto your face just yet. 
In a well-trodden area like our favorite seaside neighborhood, the culinary scene is ever-expanding, offering diverse, dynamic options for visitors and locals alike. 
So if you're looking for SoBe restaurants and food stops worth the visit, we've got you covered!
Well, whatever the case may be, you'll always find a new favorite food stop in Wynwood if you know where to look. Carnivores, vegans, coffee lovers, and people with the sweetest teeth will LOVE this list!

Wynwood's BEST Restaurants and Coffee 🤤

The newest and trendiest dining spots in town?
Well, it's a bare minimum, especially if we're talking about Wynwood of Miami!
A district known to be a little rough around the edges (as what artsy areas set out to be, most of the time), the vibrant neighborhood's best restaurants stack up against the city's top places to dine. 
In fact, it's quite common to find a big weekend opening of a lavishly decorated spot inspired by Tulum and headlined by a celebrity chef in Wynwood, no matter what season. 
Of course, there are also some tried-and-true establishments to watch out for in case you're looking for an authentic, old-school Wynwood flavor.
Well, whatever the case may be, you'll always find a new favorite food stop in Wynwood if you know where to look. Carnivores, vegans, coffee lovers, and people with the sweetest teeth will LOVE this list!

How to Fake It as a Florida Panthers Superfan (and Laugh While You Do It)

Alright, let's get real. 
I’m a proud Miami native who’s lived here since I was four, but when it comes to hockey, I’ve been more of a tropical fish than an ice skater. 
I've only been to one Florida Panthers game in my life, and that was 28 years ago. 
Fast forward to 2024, and the Panthers are in the Stanley Cup Finals, beginning Saturday, June 8th, at home. 
Naturally, like many South Floridians, I’m jumping on the bandwagon faster than a snowbird fleeing a hurricane. 
So, here’s my attempt at a hilariously self-deprecating guide to diving headfirst into the Panthers' fandom, along with a lighthearted look at all of us newcomers hitching a ride on the hockey hype train. 
Hopefully, it will be as fun for you to read it as it was writing it!

What They Don't Tell You on The Million Dollar Listing Shows 🤯

If you're like most people, if I mention the names Altman, Flagg, Serhant, and Eklund, you know exactly what I am talking about. 
Of course, it's the hit reality TV series Million Dollar Listing on Bravo. 
Admittedly, I am one of the millions of viewers that watch the show.
In the past, medical TV shows were the rage. 
Since I'm not a doctor and EVERYONE in my immediate family is one or married to one, I would ask the doctors all the time what is true in real life and what is not. 
Many times the shows were pretty accurate, BUT MANY TIMES they were not.
The Truth About the Million Dollar Listing Series
The same thing goes for the Million Dollar Listing series. 
Because of this, I hear all the time how selling luxury real estate for a living is a dream job.
 For me, it definitely is. 
With that said, let me give you an insight into what they don't tell you on the shows. 
An average week for most agents doesn't start with a phone call from a multi-millionaire telling them to come over to list their $25 million mansion on the water, then having a brokers open a few days later, and picking up a $300,000 check at the end of the week. 
If it were that easy, the richest people in the world wouldn't pay that much money to sell their homes.
Things that Don't Typically Happen that You See on the Show
