July 2025: Hurricane season kicked off last month and, judging from the several deluges since, it's on track to be a wet one! The summer storms have arrived, threatening to put a damper on our good time. But don't let the gray skies fool you—July in Miami is still packed with fun events and things to do, including dozens of Independence Day events, major tour stops from the likes of Coldplay and Morgan Wallen, a slew of summer festivals and more. Dive into the action with our up-to-the-minute guide to the best things to do in Miami right now. Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond ounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305. Aside from dabbling in our famous nightlife and exploring Miami's best bars, no trip would be complete without scoping out the booming culinary scene and our award-winning Miami restaurants. In between sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails, check off these essential Miami experiences, a mix of year-round attractions, seasonal events, cultural staples and exciting one-offs vetted by our expert editors and contributors. (We're a team of born-and-raised locals and passionate Miami transplants with an unhealthy aversion to staying home). By the way, this list is curated, as always, but isn’t ranked—we just couldn’t choose favorites.

Summer is kicking into gear: It's July and, believe it or not, Miami actually gets hotter than this. (August, we're giving you some serious side-eye.) Leaving out the perpetual desire to shower after stepping foot outside, July in Miami really has so much to offer, including plenty of great backup plans for a rainy day and fun things to do with kids while they're out of school. We don’t see as many tourists this time of year, except for around the Fourth of July holiday weekend, which means a more relaxed pace, a break from the heavy traffic and July events more catered to the locals. Below, find our regularly updated guide, in no particular order, to the best July events in Miami to add to your calendar. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

Pick a neighborhood in Miami: South Beach, Coconut Grove, Wynwood or Little Havana. No matter the night of the week, the Magic City is brimming with things to do—yes, even when there's a summer storm on the horizon. Now that the steamy weather has arrived, it's time to take advantage of thinner crowds and sunny beach weather before the daily deluges roll in. Independence Day parties are popping off across Miami this week, including a free orchestra performance and drone show in Miami Beach, an epic BBQ pop-up in Wynwood, and a full weekender of late-night dance parties in Downtown at Club Space.  Families can cool off at Jungle Island's kid-friendly Fourth of July foam party, get their hands dirty at the new Fairchild Gardens exhibit, Bugging Out, or explore the fascinating new Frost Science show, AI: More Than Human, which makes its way from the esteemed Barbican Centre across the pond. We've got tons of activities to jump into whenever the mood strikes—plus tourist attractions that even locals approve of. In this list, we've handpicked special events and happenings over the next seven days, enough to have you saying, "This was the best week ever."

Hurricane season has officially arrived—and with it, some less-than-ideal weather. But don't fret! Summer in Miami is low-key one of the best times of year, when crowds thin and programming caters more to the locals. Take this Independence Day weekend: live orchestra performances on the sand, boozy book events and kid-friendly foam parties abound, plus plenty of ways to get outdoors and celebrate America's birthday with fireworks, drone shows, delicious BBQ and crushable cocktails. When it's not raining, the weather forecast is hot and sticky, making right now an amazing time to post up at the beach, track down a buzzy Miami rooftop pool or escape the elements altogether, perhaps by checking in at one of Miami's many world-class spas. There's a coffee-fueled day rave, backyard natty wine and seafood party, bustling farmer's market, or new museum exhibit for every stripe of weekend warrior. Ready to have some fun in the 305? Here are the best things to do in Miami this weekend.  RECOMMENDED: Things to do in Miami

Ranking the best beaches in Miami is a bit like trying to rank your children. They’re all stunningly beautiful, popular and unique in their own ways—and how dare you try to say otherwise! Of course, like human children, there are pros and cons to each of our beloved Miami beaches. And, much to our benefit, the pros vastly outweigh the cons along our strip of Atlantic paradise. With so many amazing options to choose from, we’ve put together this roadmap outlining the very best beaches Miami has to offer, along with a handful of worthy swaths just outside the county limits. Below, we break down each Miami beach according to the occasions or crowds we think you might be after. From sporty spots with windsurfing and nature trails to family-friendly parks and even a clothing-optional escape, there’s a beach in Miami for anyone scouting a bit of sun and fun this season. We’re also calling out the latest amenities and must-see attractions near each beach, including beachfront dining, historic landmarks and more. Grab some SPF and see you on the sand!

As Miami’s skyline continues to climb and sprawl in all directions, so too has its rooftop drinking scene reached breathtaking heights. Many of the city’s newest highrises have opened as luxe hotels, complete with plush rooftop hangouts offering panoramic waterfront and urban views. From boutique spots with bohemian vibes to exclusive oceanfront towers, rooftops in Coconut Grove, Brickell, Miami Beach and beyond are now home to buzzy watering holes made for sipping cocktails and snapping iconic pics. Of course, you’ll also find fantastic boozy terraces perched throughout the city in historic buildings, funky food halls, Wynwood warehouses and more. Unfortunately, those breezy vistas don’t come cheap—which is why you’ll also want to cross-reference our guide to Miami’s best happy hours on your mission to imbibe at the best rooftop bars in Miami. June 2025: Now that we’re in the thick of summer again, it’s time to take stock of Miami’s rooftop scene. (Because, if we’re not on a boat or dining at a waterfront restaurant in Miami, how else are we going to survive being outside in this heat?) Several old staples, including Juvia in South Beach and Terras in Little Havana, have closed since our last update. We’ve also cut this guide nearly in half and added just one new spot, Shiso in Wynwood, so that you can get in the elevator knowing you’ll be spending your money only at the very best rooftop bars Miami has to offer right now. See you at the top! How we curate and review at Time

My favorite thing about South Beach is that it’s never been just one thing. In your 20s—and in mine!—it’s where people go to find Miami’s best clubs. Once you’ve outgrown your velvet-rope era or you’re in search of something to do before or after hitting the dance floor, South Beach suddenly becomes the ‘it’ place for restaurants and supper clubs (we call them clubstaurants around here), as well as funky hidden gems, including several speakeasy bars. In between hitting one of Miami’s best beaches and going out, there’s plenty of culture to keep you entertained, from the historic Art Deco architecture to the world-class museums. The neighborhood has range—and our guide to the best things to do in South Beach guide you to the places where you can experience it all. RECOMMENDED: The best restaurants in South Beach

Not to be a downer, but it rains in Miami. Like, a lot. Especially in the summertime, and especially (seemingly) whenever you had plans to do something outside. Whether that comes as a surprise or you were fully privy to Miami’s tropical wiles but simply hoped for the best, here we are. It’s wet out, and you’re looking for something to do that won’t totally spoil the day. The good news? We’ve got plenty of sweet indoor activities in Miami for when the storms roll in.  Shopping is always an excellent option, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to get off the sand and explore the city’s world-class museums. But really, there’s so much more to Miami beyond the beach, so consider now the perfect opportunity to take it all in. Below, we’ve sourced an in-depth, fully vetted guide to making the most of your rainy day in Miami, including kid-friendly activities, cozy adventures, self-care moments and boozy options, too.

In case you've missed it, Miami's dining scene has become one of the most exciting in the country and, arguably, the world. Over the last decade or so, the city's collective palate has matured to encompass so much more than steakhouses, Italian chains and homey Cuban spots (though we've still got plenty of those, too, and even a few in this guide). One day, you can be sipping cocktails at a sleek new omakase counter; the next, tucking into a bowl of golden-hued Peruvian ceviche. It's a beautiful, flavorful and occasionally overwhelming melange of cultures colliding on our plates in Miami, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Then there’s trying to balance out all these newcomers from New York with the old-school spots. You’ve got the classic restaurants—the ones your parents went to, the ones their parents went to—and you’ve got the new kids, the restaurants that pop up with a bang, get a few glossy reviews, and then vanish before you’ve even had a chance to figure out the parking situation. Some spots manage to straddle both worlds, delivering the kind of meals that stick with you long after the check has been paid. These are the places our editors have listed below: Miami’s best restaurants right now, along with our tried-and-true tips for reserving, ordering and more. June 2025: This spring, we did a hefty overhaul of our guide to Miami's best restaurants, chopping it nearly in half, adding a few new stunners and even crowning a fresh No. 1 pick for the first time in yea

June marks the official kickoff of the slow season in Miami—in tandem with the start of hurricane season. But if we're being honest, the action doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Wynwood Pride picks up the torch for Pride month celebrations, with a lineup of rooftop pool parties, lesbian nights and a drag festival all on the schedule this month. There's also a queer roller disco we've got our eye on and the annual TEA dance at the Arsht Center. Beyond the LGTBQ+ fun to look forward to this June, we've got plenty of concerts, exhibitions, street festivals and outdoor activities to get excited about—not to mention that visits to a Miami museum make for an excellent thing to do in Miami when it rains (it tends to do that quite a bit in June). Below, find our continually updated list of the best June events in Miami right now. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

Don we now our gay apparel! Pride Month has arrived. A celebration of the history and culture of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) communities, Pride also recalls the importance of resistance. Of standing up for others, caring for our neighbors, and demanding equal rights for a safer, more inclusive world.  Ready to party and show support? Our 2025 Miami Pride Guide has all the juicy details on the best Pride events in Miami this June, including the return of Wynwood Pride and the first-ever Supernatural Pride festival. Plus, our top picks for the best queer parties, places and spaces that center the LGBTQ+ community year round. But wait, there’s more! Like theater shows, volleyball meetups, and happy hour trivia with a drag body builder, all with insider tips from Miami’s reigning queens and cultural savants.  Here’s where to celebrate Pride in Miami this summer, and all year long, in the 305.  RECOMMENDED:  The best drag brunches in Miami for a sparkly start to your dayThe best gay clubs and bars in Miami for a night out with the boys

June 2025: Restaurants in Miami seem to be opening at a breakneck pace. The New York City takeover has (thankfully) cooled, and now we’re seeing favorites from Chicago, Philadelphia, and Buenos Aires expand here, too. There are also spin-offs from beloved local spots—like Little River’s Bar Bucce from the brother-and-sister duo behind Macchialina—and first-time ventures from chefs we’ve sorely missed, like KYU’s Raheem Sealey. In a city where something fresh and flashy is always vying for your attention, our list of the best restaurants in Miami is designed to cut through the noise with a handful of trusted picks for your next night out. A few new spots are generating serious buzz (we’re looking at you, Double Luck Chinese and TBD), but we’ve left them off the list until we’ve had a chance to dig in ourselves. You’ve got your go-to spots. You’ve probably made your way through Miami’s best restaurants, maybe twice. And when it’s time to down mimosas over chit chat, you know exactly where to brunch or sit down for a cup of joe at the best coffee shops all around town. But here's the thing about Miami—just when you think you know everything to know about this city’s food scene, more and more new restaurants keep opening up around town. Whether you’re a proud foodie, an avid early adopter, or you just want to shake up your list of favorite restaurants with something new, we’ve got you covered. Here are the best new restaurants in Miami to try right now.

Coldplay is bringing their spectacular, ancient Greece-inspired Music of the Spheres World Tour to Miami for two nights, on Saturday, July 26th and Sunday, July 27th at Hard Rock Stadium. The massive global tour—their first since the pandemic—supports both Music of the Spheres (2021) and Moon Music (2024), spanning 225 shows in 80 cities across 43 countries. After skipping a tour for their 2019 album Everyday Life due to environmental concerns, the band worked with sustainability experts to dramatically cut CO2 emissions for this run. Expect an epic musical spectacle that incorporates two massive circular screens, four inflatable LED spheres and the Moonrise, an arched video wall that backdrops the entire cosmic production.

Shiso is throwing it back this Fourth of July with a chilled-out daytime BBQ pop-up from 11am to 4pm, starring Chef Raheem Sealey’s Drinking Pig BBQ. Load up on slow-smoked brisket, ribs, pork belly and chicken, plus Drinking Pig's beloved Southern-style sides like mac and cheese, cornbread and baked beans. It’s an à la carte feast, with plates running $7 to $40. Want to lock it in? Text 954-589-3759 to pre-order or snag a sit-down reservation here.

Miami Children’s Museum celebrates America's birthday with a “Red, White and You!” bash on Friday, July 4th. The all-day party is packed with crafts, games and history for the kiddos: Watch a lively reenactment of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, compete in a flag matching game and design your own flag to take home. Kids can whip up sparkler wands and cool off with snow cones at the KABOOM! Peace Playground. It's a full star-spangled day of learning and fun.

Perched along the idyllic Coconut Grove waterfront at the site of a former U.S. naval air station, the open-air Bayshore Club is a fine spot as any to post up and celebrate the Fourth with the whole fam. Soak up live music and killer views of the fireworks over Biscayne Bay while digging into crowd-pleasers like the seafood tower, smash burger and Yankee-style lobster roll. Wash it all down with summery cocktails—happy hour runs from 4 to 6pm—and let the laid-back vibe transform your Independence Day into a mini vacation.

It's a four-night bender in Miami Beach this weekend as LIV celebrates the land of the free and the home of the bass. The Independence Day festivities kick off on Thursday, July 3rd with a set from EDM superstar DJ Alesso, followed by rapper Roddy Rich performing on the Fourth and Cedric Gervais lighting up the decks on Saturday, July 5th. If you're not in full bed-rot mode, cap it all off with a special edition of the famed LIV on Sunday hip-hop party on July 6th, headlined by STL trap queen Sexxy Red.

This energetic Toronto-founded day party swaps out booze and benders for coffee and pastries, keeping the house music bumping and promising more authentic connections with like-minded locals. This Fourth of July, the Coffee Party brings its feel-good wellness rave to Joia Beach for a day of brews and barefoot dancing in the sand. From 11:30am to 3pm, sip top-notch coffee, matcha and sea moss “Mosstinis” and snack on protein-packed bites as DJs Little Ray, Cam Jones, Rohan Alyan and Carmelinda keep the beats flowing. There's water access (and a 100% that it will be hot AF), so plan your attire accordingly.

The Shelborne by Proper is a stunner. Beautifully updated and reopened this May with no detail overlooked, Proper has retained the property's iconic Art Deco glamour while drawing locals and savvy travelers with its cool, culture-driven programming. On the Fourth, guests can kick things off with a Latin-inspired BBQ by the pool, complete with refreshing cocktails and a set by DJ Jovigibs. As the sun sets, head to the garden firepit for a build-your-own s’mores bar and golden hour cocktails, then stroll to the sand for fireworks with a festive drink in hand. The night wraps with a high-energy DJ session by Pressure Point in the hotel’s newly designed lobby, keeping the holiday vibes going strong.

If you’re after luxe vibes and a beach-chic crowd this Fourth of July, Bal Harbour Village is hard to beat. On the northern tip of Bal Harbour Beach by the jetty (10301 Collins Ave), you’ll catch one of Miami’s most dazzling drone and fireworks shows, lighting up the sky on July 4th at 9pm and open to all. Around the Village, the resorts are getting festive, too: The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour hosts a poolside BBQ with a live DJ and Tito’s cocktails (July 4 and 5, noon–4pm), while Atlantikos at the St. Regis Bal Harbour will put on a coastal-inspired brunch with elaborate dishes and live stations (July 4, 12:30–4pm). Later, the St. Regis rolls out its rendition of a bougie summer cookout (July 4, evening) complete with BBQ classics, a raw bar and decadent desserts—basically the most stylish fireworks pregame we can imagine.

Coconut Grove’s reliably fun and family-friendly Fourth of July celebration takes place for the 18th year at Peacock Park. Kicking off at 3:05pm, the party features live music all afternoon, tasty bites from local spots like Meraki, Bartaco and Pura Vida at the first-ever Taste of the Grove food festival, plus kid-friendly play zones and martial arts demos. As the sun sets, the Miami Symphony Orchestra takes the stage with a patriotic set synced to a high-tech drone show, all leading up to a fireworks display over Biscayne Bay. It’s free, all ages and the perfect moment to roll out a blanket and soak in a quintessential Miami summer evening.

Celebrate the Fourth on Miami Beach with a festive night of music and fireworks at Lummus Park. Starting at 8:30pm, the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival Symphony Orchestra and Alumni Division singers will fill the oceanfront with Broadway hits and patriotic classics, from the 1812 Overture to “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” Fireworks follow at 9pm, lighting up the sky over the Atlantic. Bring a blanket or beach chairs, pack a picnic or snag a table at one of Ocean Drive’s alfresco spots to take in the free show.

As usual, Magie doesn't skip out on an excuse to throw a party, they're just way more chill about it. To celebrate Independence Day this year, the original Magie natty wine bungalow in Little River hosts a laid-back Fourth of July bash on Sunday, July 6th. From noon to 4pm, hang out in the light-dappled back patio to partake in water balloon games, a raw bar and seafood boil pop-up by the Lazy Oyster and plenty of crushable summer pours from Magie’s curated wine list. The team will also be grilling up backyard BBQ classics, should you need something a little more substantial to soak up all that vino.

Jungle Island understands the importance of a well-timed outdoor water activity for the kiddos (and their sweating parents) in the middle of a blazing hot Miami summer day. On Friday, July 4th, head to Jungle Splash—the park’s massive inflatable water playground—for a foam party, surprise animal encounters, and bursts of red, white and blue smoke at 12:30 and 1:30pm. This patriotic kids' rager also features bites hot off the charcoal grill, themed drinks and free animal food for the first 50 kids. Tickets start at $39.99 for kids and $49.99 for adults and include unlimited summer access to Jungle Splash and park admission through August 31st. Consider those dog days of summer plans officially handled.

Konro is a fine dining restaurant in West Palm Beach serving a wildly creative tasting menu of whatever chef Jacob Bickelhaupt has dreamt up for the night. Nadia Bickelhaupt, Jacob’s business partner and wife, takes the lead as host and also presides over the wine pairings. Though the food at Konro is exceptional—and every bit worth our trek from Miami—the intimate dinner party experience is perhaps more noteworthy, a 10-seat counter that feels both familiar and thrillingly unknown. This is achieved in no small part through Nadia, a bright and bubbly foil to Jacob's more quiet, methodical presence behind her in the kitchen. Though speaking to her from across the counter comes easy, like catching up with a friend over drinks, Nadia is an accomplished sommelier with thousands of hours of education and self-study under her belt. Each of her selections comes with a story, and her approachable delivery makes for genuinely interesting dinner table conversation as the night progresses. The pacing picks up around mid-meal, when it’s almost a one-for-one ratio of drinks per plate. But take your time: You’ll want to have all your faculties to appreciate just how well how each of Nadia’s pairings complements the chef’s whimsical, multi-layered food. After venturing to Konro to try the restaurant for ourselves, we were eager to learn more about the young somm’s journey to Konro and pick her brain on all things wine and hospitality.

After more than a year of delays, the Museum of Sex (MoSex) finally opened in Miami a few months ago, steadily unveiling bold new exhibits while drawing a stream of visitors clearly intrigued by the promise of a space with such a provocative name. Photograph: World Red Eye Not to be confused with the sex-themed museum on South Beach—that would be the World Erotic Art Museum—the Museum of Sex is a New York City import that actually feels like it could have been born right here in Miami. That’s because, as so many kitschy, Old Florida institutions in the city are being razed, glossed over and Tulum-ified, the Museum of Sex is injecting a healthy dose of humor and delightfully raunchy history back into our South Florida environs. I’m talking about glass cases filled with first-generation vibrators and archival news articles espousing the virtues of birth control pills alongside large-scale paintings of robots and humans engaged in highly graphic sex acts. The museum’s titillating temporary collection comprises thousands of works of art, photography, clothing and costumes, technological inventions and all manner of naughty historical ephemera. Photograph: World Red Eye Photograph: World Red Eye At the end of the exhibitions, you’ll watch a short film tracing the little-known history of fairs as old-timey centers of debauchery and escapism, and then you’ll enter Super Funland. It’s a sprawling erotic carnival and bar where visitors can play glory hole whack-a-mole, practice

I’ve stayed at a handful of all-inclusive beach resorts, but none have come close to my experience at the new Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. First of all: St. Vincent is stunning—like a miniature Hawaii lush with tropical forests, misty cliffs and multiple rainbows a day (seriously).  Before this trip, I admit, I couldn’t point out St. Vincent and the Grenadines on a map. (It’s a little chain of volcanic islands just north of Venezuela and south of St. Lucia.) My primary references for Sandals’ resorts were the heart-shaped pools and steamy sunset silhouettes of '90s-era TV commercials. But I’m no stranger to the beauty and laidback charm of the Caribbean. So when I was invited to visit the latest Sandals property and get acquainted with the brand’s luxurious new direction, of course, I said yes. Photograph: Courtesy Sandals Saint Vincent During my stay, I quickly learned about Sandals’ legacy as a family-owned resort group, founded by Jamaican-born entrepreneur Gordon "Butch" Stewart in 1981 and helmed by his son, Adam Stewart, since 2021. Even though the young Stewart has been working on modernizing his late father’s vision, it was clear that he and the company remain committed to the same hospitality, warmth and fun spirit of the originals. It also didn’t take long to discover that Sandals guests tend to be deeply loyal to the brand. Many of my poolside conversations centered around couples’ previous trips to other Sandals and Beaches properties. (Beaches is t

Here at Time Out, our mission is to bring you the very best of Miami, and that very importantly includes Miami's best restaurants. Of course, on that mission, we editors find ourselves dining out quite a lot. Whether we're trying out the latest buzzy concept from one of the city's homegrown star chefs, hunting down the most delicious new smash burger in a tidal wave of Miami smash burgers or suiting up to make it past the velvet rope at South Beach's hottest new clubstaurant, it's all in day's work to present you with our findings. Though we don't give full, rated reviews to every Miami restaurant, bar or venue we visit, we take a lot of time and care with the ones we do. These writeups represent our honest impressions of the place, regardless of whether we were invited to experience it as a media guest or if we paid our own way. Our editors and contributors are committed to helping you decide where to go out in Miami and what to do with your time (and money), because we know it's precious. That said, we'll be recapping all the new Miami restaurants we review each month in one easily digestible post.

In case you need something else to be excited about heading into the last full week of 2024, two new highly anticipated Miami restaurants are slated to open their doors to the public for the first time this weekend. A third, from one of Miami's most lauded homegrown chefs, opened last weekend. As we know, 'tis the season to get your reservations in early, since the snowbirds will soon be flocking ashore, snapping up seats at all of Miami's most coveted restaurants. Let's break down three new Miami restaurants that are destined to become hotspots this winter.

Carbone Vino 2911 Grand Ave, Suite 194 Opening today, Major Food Group unveils Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove. The newest addition to MFG's ever-growing Miami portfolio follows a similar format as their other spots, including signature dishes like Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and Veal Parmesan, plus new items created by chef Mario Carbone, like a Shrimp Toast with bruschetta featuring ruby red shrimp, Calabrian chili and sesame. As the name hints, Vino also offers a dynamic beverage program featuring an extensive rotating selection of fine and rare by-the-glass offerings. With a design modeled off the original in New York’s Greenwich Village with art curated by gallerist Vito Schnabel, the restaurant's vibe is moody and romantic with a main dinin

Palm Beach just got a culinary upgrade with the opening of Malka, a kosher concept from famed Israeli chef Eyal Shani. When the beloved Tel Avivian restaurant opened its first NYC outpost last year, "Both the kosher and non-kosher masses flocked to the destination to indulge in the restaurant's legendary Malka schnitzel stuffed with mashed potatoes," Time Out New York's Anna Rahmanan wrote. Photograph: Courtesy Malka West Palm BeachThe most famous schnitzel Now, South Floridians (some might call us residents of the sixth borough) can try out the schnitzel for themselves, along with a mix of Malka classics and several new dishes original to the West Palm Beach location. Though this isn't the chef's first venture in South Florida (Shani is also behind the flashy HaSalon in South Beach), Malka West Palm Beach marks the concept's first U.S. outpost outside of NYC and the third outside of Tel Aviv. What sets apart Malka West Palm Beach is the history of the space it occupies—formerly (and ironically) a butcher shop and factory. Located at 209 6th Street in an up-and-coming swath of West Palm Beach waterfront, the restaurant already housed an open-fire wood-burning kitchen as its central focal point when Shani moved in. It's served as the inspiration behind much of Malka's menu. Photograph: Amit GeronThe open-fire kitchen at Malka West Palm Beach Mirroring the unique structure of the kitchen, the menu is divided into categories including Knife Works, Cast Iron Works and Fire Wo

Locals' hearts collectively broke when it was announced in July that Shuckers would close after more than 30 years in business. The North Bay Village go-to for casual waterfront dining was nestled at the base of a boutique Best Western hotel that had been charmingly spared from decades of Miami redevelopment waves, until now.  In perhaps one of the fastest renovations and rebrandings ever—even for Miami—Palm Tree Club is set to officially open to the public on December 21 at the former Shuckers and Best Western site. The lifestyle hospitality concept comes courtesy of DJ Kygo and Myles Shear’s Palm Tree Crew, in collaboration with Think Hospitality and New York and Miami-based Continuum Continuum. Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree CrewPalm Tree Club “We’re thrilled to launch Palm Tree Club and introduce our hospitality offering to Miami,” Shear said in a statement. “This is a new chapter for our brand, and it’s all about blending the energy of live events with the laid-back spirit of this historic waterfront retreat.” Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree Crew Interestingly, the 1970s-era property doesn’t look all that different than it did a couple of months ago when Shuckers closed its proverbial doors for the last time. This 115-room hotel and restaurant has been given a rapid refresh with tropical-inspired decor throughout, Art Deco-inspired room interiors, a 24-hour fitness center and an updated pool deck with complimentary chaise loungers, green striped umbrellas and automate

Christmas is around the corner and it's time to plan what you'll do (and wear) over the big holiday in Miami. Have you peeped the weather forecast lately? We've been watching the updates to help you make the most of this Christmas. Though we've had a week of warmer temps, higher humidity and scattered showers, things should clear up and cool down over the weekend, with predicted lows in the 50s. By mid-week, it looks like we’re in for a beautiful and mild Christmas Day, with Accuweather describing the outlook on December 25, 2024 as “sunshine and a few clouds.” What will Miami's Christmas Day weather be like?  The topline forecast for the big day is dominated by one word: lovely. According to Accuweather, temperatures in Miami on Christmas Day are expected to sit at around 70°F, with a high temperature of 75°F and a low of 68°F. At this point, the forecast for December 25 is looking relatively consistent across the city, with similar predictions for Miami Beach. Expect about 25% cloud cover throughout the day. Is it going to rain on Christmas Day? Presently, rain in Miami on Christmas Day is looking somewhat unlikely, with Accuweather predicting 0.00 inches of precipitation throughout the day. Other outlets, like The Weather Channel, show a 16% chance of rain in the day and a 24% in the evening. You might encounter a sprinkle or two, but the chances of a Miami thunderstorm on Christmas Day seem pretty low right now. What will the weather in Miami be like on Christmas Eve? Chr

We know our way around a piece of meat here at Time Out. So much so that we’ve just dropped our brand new list of the very best steaks in the world. Our writers and editors from across the globe have added to our top 10 of the mightiest meats, with a Miami steakhouse securing the No. 2 spot in the ranking.  Among the barrage of buzzy Miami restaurant openings over the last few years, Klaw in Edgewater stands out as a spot that not only passes the vibe check but also actually has the high-caliber menu to match. Klaw is a luxurious steakhouse perched at the top of a beautifully restored historic building with truly stunning views of Biscayne Bay, especially at sunset. And the prices reflect that. But on the extensive steak and seafood menu you can also find more approachable options, including one we've singled out as our favorite steak in Miami. Klaw has partnered with local ranchers to serve Florida Cracker Cattle, one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the U.S. (It’s claimed that one of their partners can trace the DNA of their cattle back to the original herd brought to Florida in 1521). Priced at $85, we went for the 16 oz. Florida Cracker striploin, cooked medium-rare. It was juicy and tender, and though it came with a side of two delicious sauces, we found its wood-fired flavor shines best on its own. Plus, Florida Cracker meat is high in Omega-3 fatty acids since the cattle graze on grass instead of corn. The list was topped by El Toro in Agadir, Morocco at number one

Waymo has just announced that it will expand its autonomous driving technology to Miami, joining Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, where the robotaxis have already taken over the streets (kidding!). Beginning in early 2025, Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs will be redeployed around Miami, building on previous road trips throughout Florida that were carried out during the rainy season to enhance driving capabilities. They aim to begin accepting rides in 2026, offering a driverless ride-hailing service via the Waymo One app.  Waymo (owned by Google's parent company Alphabet) has partnered with Moove, a global leader in innovative mobility solutions, to manage its fleet operations, facilities and charging infrastructure. "Ride-hailing has transformed urban mobility over the past 15 years, yet the core experience has largely remained unchanged,” says Ladi Delano, co-founder and co-CEO at Moove. "Together, we’re driving a major shift." So, how do Waymo's robotaxis work? Last year, we got to go for a ride in a Waymo car during the launch of the Waymo One Tour program in Santa Monica and Venice—and we’ve been (mostly) impressed ever since. “Riding in a self-driving car for the first time is anxiety-inducing, exciting and oddly normal—basically in that order," wrote our Los Angeles and Western USA editor Michael Juliano at the time. “Even if you routinely drive a car outfitted with advanced assistance features, it can’t prepare you for the radically different sensati

It's a dining guide that's as exclusive as it sounds: La Liste bills itself as "the most selective global guide of restaurants, pastry shops and hotels, for gourmets and international travelers," and it's just released its annual ranking of the best eateries in the world. The 2025 list is based on a "compilation of thousands of publications, hundreds of guidebooks and millions of online reviews." And four Miami spots have made the cut. We can't say we're surprised! Before we dive into the rankings, here's a bit on La Liste's methodology: According to the website, the staff aggregates reviews from over 1,000 guidebooks and publications, enters them into a database and then assigns each entry a score from 0 to 100 based on standard grades. But it goes even deeper: Chefs around the globe are asked to weigh in on the various guidebooks so that the outlets themselves can be given a "trustworthiness index" score that impacts the standard grade given to the restaurants. Finally, customer reviews are given consideration before each entry receives its official "La Liste score." This year, the top Miami restaurant with an 86.50 La Liste score is Naoe, a five-seat omakase counter on Brickell Key helmed by Kevin Cory, a chef with Japanese roots who studied under masters from Kyoto and Toyama before pioneering the now ubiquitous omakase restaurant experience in Miami. Interestingly, Naoe has yet to receive recognition from the Michelin Miami guide, though it's on our own list of Miami's b

Nightlife in Miami is notoriously over-the-top. Here, it's not unusual to segue straight from dinner to dancing on the tables. Fire dancers and aerialists come standard with bottle service and booming sound systems. And while most places are closing up shop by 2am elsewhere around the country, Miami's nightclubs are just getting started, with many staying up until 5am and a select few keeping the party going well into the daylight hours. In fact, a recent study confirmed that Miami parties later than any other city in the U.S. So it comes as no surprise that two illustrious Miami nightclubs have been named in Nightlife International's top 100 list for 2024. E11even Miami and Club Space just ranked in the No. 6 and No. 18 spots, respectively—joining iconic venues like Hi Ibiza (No. 1), Pacha Ibiza (No. 11), London’s Fabric (No. 26) and Berlin’s notoriously exclusive Berghain (No. 51). The list is produced annually by Nightlife International, the first non-profit organization in the world formed specifically to represent the main stakeholders in the nightlife economy. E11even and Space are longtime neighbors in Downtown, serving as anchors in a Miami neighborhood that's been steadily increasing its nightlife, dining and cultural offerings. Though they're both known for their debaucherous after-hours parties, the two clubs are actually quite different. Ranked 12 spots above Space, E11even bills itself as "the world's only 24/7 ultra-club," boasting headlining events nearly every
