GREEN GRASS
Colombia-native Claudia Sanz’s environmentallyconscious boutique specializes in carefully curated essentials, but with a twist. Whether hand-painted, reversible, or made from one-of-a-kind fabrics, each locally-sourced bikini, top, dress or pant is made to appeal, not reveal. Slow-selling items are even refashioned to reduce waste. (9/2011)

Sra. Martinez
Warm wood, comfy leather and soft lighting characterize Michelle Bernstein’s Design District take on tapas. Grab an outside table and go straight for the crispy artichoke, squid ink risotto and egg yolk carpaccio, which is so good it made Food Network’s Best Thing I Ever Ate. (9/2011)

Andalus
Despite the “small plates” concept at this authentic Spanish restaurant, don’t expect to go home hungry. Tapas such as cod carpaccio and grilled cuttlefish with aioli are sure to satiate even the hungriest diner. $$$ (9/2011)

Cevichery Restobar
Newsflash: Miami’s hot in the summer. Like sauna in the middle of a rain forest hot. Do as the Peruvians do and dig into some refreshing ceviche— there's lots of it here. Wash it all down with the two-for-one sangria or a pisco sour. $$ (9/2011)

The Blue Piano Music Lounge and Wine Bar
Locals boast about having this chic yet unpretentious haunt sans all that South Beach hassle. This dimly-lit joint in historic Buena Vista sure knows its jazz and blues, but the wine list was curated by a sommelier and there’s a world-class array of craft beers to boot. (9/2011)

Kill Your Idol
If a group of hipsters opened a college bar, it would look like this spot tucked off busy Washington Avenue. Funky décor—pinball machine, board games, Bruce Lee statue—compliment reasonable drink prices (by SoBe standards, of course). (9/2011)

Fun Fact!
Miami grew from a small
town into the metropolis it is
today in part because Julia
Tuttle sent healthy orange
blossoms to Henry Flagler
during a Central Florida freeze,
prompting him to extend his
railroad south in 1896.
