South Beach

Juvia is located at the top of the Swiss-designed Herzog & de Meuron Lincoln Road parking garage, which sits at the east end of Miami’s popular pedestrian-only shopping stretch. The kitchen here is run by two stellar chefs: Sunny Oh (who spent a decade at Nobu), and Gregory Gourreau (who worked with Alain Ducasse and François Payard, and now runs the pastry program). It’s a pricier menu—that comes with a fabulous, sweeping view of the city, made for celebratory-feeling cocktails. Try the refreshing Cucumis—tequila with cucumber, lime, and a hibiscus salt rim.

Located in a nondescript shopping mall, Apple a Day’s interior is likewise nondescript, but the cold-pressed organic juices, made in house, are so fresh and so good. They also do smoothies, salads, wraps, and acai, quinoa, and brown rice bowls. They serve Panther coffee, and you can order online for delivery.

Eberjey's long been a favorite for soft-as-butter pajamas and dainty lingerie that perfectly skirts the line between comfortable enough for every day and sexy enough for a special occasion. The company is headquartered in Miami, and its two boutiques (in South Beach and Mid-Beach) are very conveniently located for swimsuit shopping.

One of the country’s preeminent indie booksellers, Miami native Mitchell Kaplan opened Books & Books at the beginning of the 1980’s, originally in Coral Gables. There are now three locations in Miami—one on Lincoln in Miami Beach, and one at Bal Harbour Shops, in addition to Coral Gables (plus a Grand Cayman and Westhampton Beach location). The staff recommendations will help you land on the perfect beach, plane, etc. read. Literary lovers must go.

The street-facing half of Bodega is a busy taco joint set up like a tricked-out auto garage with bright graffiti splashes and neon barstools. At the otherwise unassuming back door (which looks like the exterior of a Porta-Potty), you’ll see a bouncer occasionally motioning waiting guests into the speakeasy behind it, which has an entirely different feel. Dark and swanky, the space is set up with a wood bar that stretches the length of the bottom floor and plush couches that create pocket lounge areas for a full, buzzing crowd (that skews young). A winding staircase leads to an upper lounge that's perched above the bar.
