  • Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre

    280 Miracle Mile Coral Gables/S. Miami

    305-444-9293

    Take one look at the lineup at the Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, and you'll believe that regional theater is alive and well in Miami. The gorgeous, restored Coral Gables landmark boasts a 600-seat mainstage auditorium that's home to a full season of grown up shows, kid's productions, educational activities and community services. Their titles run the gamut from intense dramas to musical theater to side-splitting comedies - from Monty Python to Neil Sedaka. As far as the South Florida theater scene, this is company worth keeping.

  • Bakehouse Art Complex

    561 NW 32nd St. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    305-576-2828

    Founded in 1985 in a former bakery, the Bakehouse Art Complex (BAC) is at the heart of Wynwood's artistic soul. It's a one-stop shop of sorts, with galleries, exhibition space and, crucially, partially to fully funded studio space for more than 100 local artists working in a wide range of media. The complex's sprawling grounds also serve as an event venue — and there's always something happening here, from classes to receptions to concerts to fundraisers. On weekdays, visitors are encouraged to check out the studios, galleries, project room, classroom, print room, photo lab, ceramic kiln area, woodworking and welding areas — and to see the work of a host of artists across every imaginable genre. It's impossible to imagine what Wynwood would be like without it.

  • Biltmore Hotel

    1200 Anastasia Ave. Coral Gables/S. Miami

    305-445-8066

    A Miamian who's never been to the Biltmore? For shame. This 1926 landmark is a throwback to the days of Prohibition-era glamour, and a remarkable monument to Miami gone by. With 150 acres as its backyard, this sprawling, majestic hotel is a historical gem. And as any nearly 100-year-old building is apt to do, it has many a tall tale and ghost story attached. From their brilliant high tea to their famous brunch to their enormous pool --there are luxurious surprises behind every corner. And this Coral Gables oasis has lots of corners.

If you're on a budget, Duffy's offers BOGO for most beers and mixed drinks, all day, every day. Translation: Literally every hour of the day is your own personal happy hour. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit: Duffy's has its own pool (and more bars) on an outdoor deck directly on the Intracoastal. A bar with cheap drinks, water views, and a place to cool off: That's an only-in-Miami nirvana if ever there was one.

  • Gramps

    176 NW 24th St. Midtown/Wynwood/Design District

    855-732-8992

    At its entrance, this Wynwood institution boasts "air conditioning, cold beer, and cocktails." Indeed, those are the basics for a successful Miami bar, but Gramps goes the extra mile and then some — from a robust roster of live music, DJs, and drag bingo to some damn fine pizza and more. Ensconce yourself in the bar area or find a table on the patio. A little bit hipster hang, a little bit dive bar — Gramps is a welcome respite for the beer-and-a-shot crowd and the craft-cocktail maven alike.

As you head south to the dog section (between lifeguard towers 2 and 3), brace yourself for cute overload. From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the area is a pup playground, adding wet and sloppy kisses to your beach itinerary. Let your four-legged friends frolic in surf, cool off in style, and play at the Bark Park, open 8 a.m. to sunset.

    Sports bars should be simple - tasty bar food, cold brews, plenty of TVs. Local chain Sports Grill has this formula down pat, and their South Miami outpost is no exception. Add a nice mix of craft brews to the mix, and arguably Miami's best wings (get 'em grilled) and you've got a winning home for Heat games, Fins action and Canes pride.
