August 2019: When we think “downtown,” we think walkable and diverse with a healthy dose of edge. Miami’s Downtown continues making strides toward that breezy ideal, and we’re just trying to keep up. Among our new additions, every solid downtown needs a stylish and reliable indie coffee shop for that much needed caffeine fix between activities, and ALL DAY definitely fits the bill. If art’s your thing, the PAMM is great and all, but you’ll do well to keep Mana Contemporary—a massive multidisciplinary arts enclave housed in an old mall—on your radar to stay ahead of the curve. Check our update to find out what else is new and exciting in Downtown Miami.
There hasn’t always been a ton of things to do in Downtown Miami. But, like so much in the neighborhood, that has changed. Sure, you could hit up one of the best Downtown Miami clubs or chow down at one of these awesome Downtown Miami restaurants. But there’s more than just food and drink in the growing neighborhood. Today, you’ll find Downtown full of some really great museums and places to chill out or soak in some incredible views. Downtown doesn’t yet have the rep of Miami neighborhoods such as South Beach or Wynwood but that’s all the more reason to spend a day exploring it. Plus, it’s one of the most navigable areas of this city thanks to the (free!) Metromover.
