Center . For a nice dinner try Tap Tap (psychedelic Haitian). When you're ready to hit the
town (and the rails), have some beers at Kill Your Idol .
The next day, check out Little Haiti . This is one of the most colorful, recognizably im-
migrant neighborhoods in Miami. It can be edgy at night, but by day you're fine to ex-
plore. Feast on ox-tail and other Haitian treats at Chef Creole . A half mile south of here
you'll find Sweat Records and Churchill's ; the former is one of Miami's best music
shops, while the latter is a down and dirty British punk pub.
You can easily make a day out of visiting Little Haiti, so the next morning go to the
trendy Design District and the art galleries and studio spaces of Wynwood . Taken togeth-
er, these neighborhoods constitute Midtown Miami, the most self-consciously artsy and
creative section of the city. The Design District is a compact area that's easy to walk
around and good for shopping (assuming you're loaded; these aren't starving artists, appar-
ently). If you're hungry, head to one of the new restaurants flowering just north of here in
shady Buena Vista or along Biscayne Boulevard. At night, Bardot or The Stage are great
spots to wet your whistle, watch DJs and live music and get your dance on.
After a few days of exploring Midtown and South Beach, head north along Collins Ave
to Mid-Beach and North Beach . To get here you'll pass through the Condo Canyons -
rows and rows of glittering residential skyscrapers, all testament to the power of real estate
in Miami. In Mid-Beach, near the north end of South Beach, you'll find an excellent
boardwalk where you can stroll by the sand.
