Coral Gables
Coral Gables is what Miami looks like when it grows up and joins a country club. George Merrick's 1920s Mediterranean Revival fantasy - Spanish tile roofs, banyan-lined boulevards, the Biltmore's bell tower visible from half the city - actually held up. Miracle Mile gives you the walkable dinner-and-drinks circuit: Bulla Gastrobar for tapas, Threefold for the third-wave coffee crowd, Seven Dials for the after-dinner old fashioned. Venetian Pool for a daytime swerve. The University of Miami pulls a younger professional set into the bars off Ponce. Tradeoff: prices read more Brickell than Wynwood, the dress code is real, and after 10pm the sidewalks empty fast.
