And after sunbathing and shopping in Miami Beach, what’s better than going out for dinner and some drinks!

In the evening, I plan on wining and dining. If you’re in South Florida, the following places are a must:

Smith & Wollensky: A.k.a. Steak heaven. Enough Said!
Nobu Miami Beach: The best Japanese fusion you’ll ever have. I highly recommend the Chilean Sea Bass with dry miso.

Joe’s Stone Crab: The best seafood restaurant this side of the Atlantic. Must haves: Stone crab claws and the key lime pie!
Samba Room: For the best fusion Brazilian food. And the best mojitos in the world! I recommend the Chilean Sea Bass and a mango mojito!

For Drinks:

Blue Martini: It is martini paradise. The best pomegranate martini you’ll ever have.
Wet Willies: The best place to get frozen drinks. I recommend Shock Treatment, Sex on the Beach, and a Mojito Mojo. Also, Call-a-Cab is not just a drink but a requirement because it is that strong!
Justin’s: If you’re in the mood to have drinks and relax, this is the lounge for you!

Clubs:

Nikki Beach: Fun, Fun, and More Fun!
Privé: Don’t get discouraged by the long lines. This nightclub is where party goers go to see and celebrities go to be seen.
The Living Room: One advice: Bring your dance shoes! This is the place to go to get your groove on!
America’s Backyard: Perfect place for Spring Breakers. It’s young, cool, hip, and fun!

If you’re feeling lucky, you can test out Lady Luck at the following places:

Gulfstream Racetrack - Check out the horses at the Gulfstream Racetrack. You never know. You just might pick a winner!

Hard Rock Seminole Casino - After you cash in your winnings, you can stroll around the grounds to do a little bit of shopping, dining, and dancing. The Hard Rock has many fine restaurants, including Tatu. This Chinese Japanese restaurant has a sushi bar and serves some of the finest Chinese dishes in South Florida. They cap off your dining experience with a complimentary sweet green apple flavored treat.

After all of that shopping, eating, and dancing, I will be going back to my comfy abode at the Marco Polo Beach Resort so I can relax….

News Alert: Marco Polo is offering specials and discounts from now until April! I suggest you get in while the getting is good!

Miami Beach is calling your name!
