TRAVEL GUIDE: MIAMI
/This guide has been a long time coming. As a New Yorker, Miami often feels like a second home to me. I’ve vacationed there since I was a literal fetus and J & I try to visit at least a couple of times per year in the winter as it’s such an easy weekend trip from NYC. Even aside from my long history with the “Magic City,” there are so many New York transplants and offshoots that I never feel too far from home. For someone who travels a decent amount, sometimes it’s nice to be able to continue my current routine in a different setting—morning workout at Solidcore, coffee at Dr. Smood, lunch at Joe and the Juice, dinner at Carbone, all steps from the ocean? I’m here for that.
Despite all that, it’s not the New York parallels that make Miami amazing—Miami has such a distinct personality that (love or hate it) is hard to ignore. The art deco hotels, diverse population, sceney restaurants, crop tops and 5 inch heels, perennially hot weather and thumping house beats make Miami a BRAND.
