#Overseas travel #USA #Miami #Chick-fil-A 🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, USA 🍗 Chick-fil-A I'm currently traveling in Miami, Florida, USA, and I'm introducing Chick-fil-A, a Miami restaurant that I visited twice during my trip to Miami and my favorite American franchise chain. Last time, I went to Chick-fil-A in downtown Miami, and this time, I visited Chick-fil-A on the Miami River. I ordered a set menu with bacon and American added to the Spicy Deluxe, and it was about $12. The slightly spicy chicken made it delicious without getting tired of it! Chick-fil-A also offers various sauces, so you can get them for free according to your taste. The chicken between the buns was moist and the combination of all the ingredients was great, so I was able to eat it really deliciously. This is an American franchise that I highly recommend as I travel to the US often, so if you travel to the US, be sure to visit Chick-fil-A 🇺🇸♥️

#Overseas travel #USA #Miami #Miami restaurants 🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, USA 🍗 Pollo Campero There are many South American restaurants in Miami, Florida, USA, as there are many people who have immigrated from South America. Among them, Pollo Campero is a chicken franchise that started in Guatemala, South America. Since I came to Miami, I wanted to try South American chicken, so I stopped by. I usually order a combo menu, but I ordered a piece of chicken leg, Yuca Fries, and coleslaw, and paid $12.77. Since it was such a popular place, there were no seats in the store, so I ordered takeout. It came out quickly in just 1 minute after I ordered. Yuca Fries are fried cassava, a famine crop, and they were delicious and soft. I had tried it when I traveled to Brazil before, so I ordered it again this time. The coleslaw was too sour and salty for my taste... Pollo Campero's signature fried chicken is also salty, so it would be perfect with bread or rice. If you order a combo menu, bread is also included, so I recommend eating it with bread. If you're traveling to Miami, which is close to South America, try the chicken at Pollo Campero 🍗💛

#Overseas travel #USA #Miami #Wendy's Burger 🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, US 🍔 Wendy's I'm currently traveling in Miami, Florida, US. I really like hamburgers, so I always go to a delicious hamburger restaurant whenever I travel to the US! I visited Wendy's, which is ranked 3rd among franchise restaurants in the US. I ordered the Dave's Single Combo. I added bacon to the Dave's Single and changed the soda to Chocolate Frosty, and the total cost was $12.23. If you pay $10 for a meal in the US, it's really good value for money. The Wendy's Burger comes wrapped in aluminum foil with a cute Mrs. Wendy drawn on it. It's the perfect American hamburger in my opinion, and the patty is juicy and delicious. Wendy's signature shake is the Frosty shake, and if you dip your fries in it, you'll be amazed. These two combinations are a sweet and salty match. I tried the Wendy's burger for the first time, and it was so delicious! If you're traveling to the US, eat at Wendy's 🇺🇸🍔💛

#Overseas travel #USA #Miami #Miami hotel 🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, USA 💙 Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel & Executive Meeting Center I'm introducing the hotel I stayed at when I traveled to Miami, Florida, USA. I stayed at the Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel & Executive Meeting Center. This hotel is located a 5-minute drive from Miami International Airport, and there is a Metro Rail station and train station across from the hotel, so you can conveniently use public transportation. If you use the Metro Rail, you can get to downtown Miami in 20-30 minutes. It's especially close to Miami International Airport, so it's a good place to stay on the last day of your trip to Miami. The room was comfortable and clean, as expected from a Sheraton. There were also Starbucks coffee beans in the room, so it was nice to brew coffee and drink it. There's also a swimming pool and a gym, so it's perfect for a staycation. If you're traveling to Miami, consider the Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel & Executive Meeting Center.

#Overseas travel #USA #Miami #Shake Shack Burger 🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, USA 🍔 Shake Shack Burger I'm currently traveling in Miami. There are so many different burger chains in the US, and among them, Shake Shack Burger has branches all over the world, so you can easily find them anywhere. However, this is my first time eating Shake Shack Burger during my trip to Miami. I was even more excited because I could try my first Shake Shack Burger in the US, the home of Shake Shack. I visited Shake Shack in downtown Miami. I ordered the basic Shake Burger with bacon and pickles, and French fries and a milk shake. The burger bun was chewy and delicious, and the ingredients inside were so fresh that I really enjoyed it. At Shake Shack, it's trendy to dip your French fries in milkshake, so I tried that too! The milkshake wasn't too sweet, which was nice, and the French fries were freshly fried, so they were really delicious! If you're traveling to the US, be sure to eat at Shake Shack 🇺🇸🍔

Hey, lovebirds! My partner and I just got back from a vacation in Miami, and we were absolutely enchanted by the sunshine, beaches, and romantic atmosphere. Now, I can't wait to share our Miami couple's travel notes with you, hoping to inspire your travel plans. First encounter with Miami, feeling the embrace of sunshine and beaches As soon as we arrived in Miami, we headed straight to South Beach. The sand there is fine and soft, the water is crystal clear, and the sun is warm on your skin - it's a paradise for couples. We rented a beach umbrella, lay on the sand, listened to the sound of the waves, and talked about our dreams for the future, feeling like time slowed down. In the evening, we strolled along the beach, watching the sunset slowly sink below the horizon, and at that moment, the whole world seemed to become gentle. A collision of culture and art We visited the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. This estate is full of historical charm, as if it transported us back to a prosperous era. We strolled hand in hand along the estate's paths, admiring the exquisite architecture and gardens, occasionally stopping to take beautiful photos of each other. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon tea in the estate's tea room, savoring delicate pastries and sharing funny travel stories. A double dose of food and shopping On the third day, we decided to treat our taste buds. After breakfast, we went to Joe's Stone Crab to savor delicious stone crab claws, and the fresh taste still lingers in our memories. At lunchtime, we wandered to the Miami Design District, where luxury stores and art galleries abound, and we enjoyed each other's company while shopping. In the evening, we dined at a cozy Italian restaurant, listening to soft music and savoring authentic cuisine, feeling blissfully happy. Day 4: Exploring nature and tranquility We decided to relax at Biscayne Bay Park. The park offers beautiful sea views and tranquil lakes, and we rented a tandem bike to ride along the lakeside, enjoying the breeze on our faces. Along the way, we encountered a flock of wild flamingos gracefully swimming in the water, adding a touch of surprise to our trip. In the evening, we had a romantic dinner in the park's picnic area, watching the shimmering lake under the sunset, feeling that everything was so beautiful. This trip to Miami allowed us to deeply appreciate the charm of this city. Whether it's the romantic sunshine and beaches, the cultural immersion, or the culinary and shopping rewards, we were captivated. If you and your partner are planning a vacation in Miami, feel free to refer to our itinerary! We believe you'll also have an unforgettable time as a couple here.

We were super excited to come to Cote in Miami, as this place also received a Michelin Star and all the good reviews on all platforms. Overall, it was good, but not great. We were not wowed by the food nor the service, unfortunately. We booked a table during lunch time, it was decently busy. Our sides (rice, kimchi, etc.) came out a little over half way through our course. Things were slower. The gentleman who took care of us was nice and accommodating (he cooked the meat more well done, because I am pregnant). If you can spend, I would say scratch the standard stuff and just get multiple servings of the A5. Sad to say, but my favorite thing was the yogurt dessert at the end. We spent close to $400 for two people with two drinks and a 4-meat selection course with some a la carte.

With it's truly unique lounge setting, warm decor, prestigious dining room, and picturesque water front dining it is one of Brickell's most upscale preferred destinations. Whether you are dining with us enjoying our romantic bay front terrace, or even sampling cocktails in the lounge, listening to relaxing rhythms. Crazy About You is truly an experience not to be missed.

At the meeting of Palmer Lake and the Miami River, this sleek hotel is 1 mile from Miami International Airport and 4 miles from Wynwood Walls, an open-air mural gallery. Radisson RED Miami Airport exceeded my expectations! The rooms are really nice and comfortable, and the breakfast was surprisingly good, especially for travelers – convenient and well-served for this type of setup. Overall, I had a very positive experience. For the price, it’s definitely 5/5. If you're looking for a solid, well-priced option near the airport, this is a great choice.

Located in the heart of Little Havana, a site well known as a center of social, cultural, and political activity in Miami, you will find our store, with a long tradition of serving only the finest handmade cigars, accessories, books and art. Step into a 1950s Havana cigar

The best way to discover Calle Ocho, the main artery that runs through Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, is on foot. And if you’re venturing there this summer, the most authentic way to cool off after hoofing it up and down Southwest 8th Street is to chill at Azucar Ice Cream Co. Named after the battle cry of famed Cuban salsa singer Celia Cruz – whose body laid in state in Miami’s Freedom Tower, drawing 200,000 fans, after her death in 2003 – Azucar (sugar), isn’t your typical tiny ice cream shop. Its artisanal, made-daily flavors embrace sabor latino (Latin flavor) like no other: ruby red mamey, creamy avocado with condensed milk, sweet pink guava and sorbets made from juicy mangos. Some flavors change with the seasons, but you can almost always find caramel flan, café con leche (Cuban coffee and Oreo), platano maduro (sweet plantain) and guarapiña (sugarcane and pineapple).

Cubaocho museum & performing arts center is the heart of valuable cultural artistry in the Little Havana area. It is a place where art breathes life into its viewers and impregnates the air with euphoria. At Cubaocho Museum & Performing Arts Center, its a masterful fusion of memories, creativity, diversity, music, and culture that creates an interesting view from both the entertainment and the cultural gratification. Music, art, dance, mojitos, and a top-notch library compliments the value of this place. Visit us for a free time-travel voyage to the 19th and 20th centuries through our numerous Cuban art presentation. It is a splendid place to visit to feed your eyes, sate your artistic hunger, and also do extensive research using the library.

Máximo Gómez Park in Little Havana, more affectionately known as Domino Park by the locals, is a hidden gem right on historic Calle Ocho (8th Street). Named after General Máximo Gómez, a Cuban revolutionary, this is a social spot popular with locals. At any time of day, you will find the regulars sipping Cuban coffee, playing dominoes and chatting with friends. A tradition for more than 40 years, gameplay at the park is serious and exciting to watch, with authentic Latin energy and competitive banter. Games are typically for members only. Anyone over 50 with a Maximo Gόmez Domino Club card has free, lifetime membership to play here – and the players don’t mind an audience. The small park features walkways of domino-decorated tilework and a perimeter lined with benches for spectators. You can’t miss the painted mural that serves as the backdrop for this popular hangout. Created by Dominican artist Oscar Thomas, the mural depicts the presidents of all American nations that attended the first Summit of the Americas, held in Miami in 1994.

It was our first time coming here and eating here and it was an excellent experience. Our waitress was amazing, professonal and friendly. We mentioned we came to the city for my daughter’s birthday and they helped celebrated her birth day with cake, drinks and songs. Overall, a great experience in a great spot.

We went for brunch on a Sunday. Beautifully decorated bistro Food was unexpectedly amazing. Every single thing we order was delicious and the presentation is exactly like the pictures. We would visit again for sure and you should too if you’re in Miami

The staff at All Day is truly some of the best. They care about the quality of your food, your service, and even their plants. They have wonderful events, happy hours and amazing tasty food. I usually come here to buy the granola and some oat milk. I recommend this place for a nice chill miami day. Never noisy, easy to park, and just fast service. Most of their items are homemade. This is becoming one of my favorite cafes of all time.

Best breakfast sandwich spot in Brickel. A low key spot but I’m so happy to have found it. The croissant breakfast sandwiches are really good. The croissants themselves are light, fluffy and flaky just how I like it. The arch sandwich is my favorite— the egg, prosciutto, and avocado all come together very nicely on the croissant. The coffee is average and the juices are not the best but there are enough places in Brickell to pick those items up somewhere else. There is outdoor seating which is nice and bright but very hot in the summer time, I would recommend grabbing your food to go

Jungle Island, formerly Parrot Jungle, is a relaunched eco-adventure park on Watson Island, Miami, Florida, United States. The park is re-opened following a series of major renovations after the park incurred damage from Hurricane Irma. The park features new pop-up waterslides, an outdoor wind tunnel flight experience, zip lines, escape rooms, a Nerf battle stadium and other attractions.

The Museum of Graffiti exhibits, educates, and celebrates the thousands of graffiti artists who have transformed walls in our public spaces into vibrant masterpieces. Located in the heart of Wynwood, the Museum of Graffiti is Wynwood’s only art museum. Indoor and outdoor exhibitions showcase the top global and local graffiti artists while presenting the art movement’s rich history. The Museum is a must-see destination in Miami.

In the midst of rusted warehouses and concrete blah, there's a pastel-and-graffiti explosion of urban art. Wynwood Walls is a collection of murals and paintings laid out over an open courtyard that invariably bowls people over with its sheer color profile and unexpected location. What’s on offer tends to change with the coming and going of major arts events, such as Art Basel, but it's always interesting stuff.
