The Raleigh Hotel, South Beach

Miami Beach stretches from North Shore Open Space Park, past palm-lined Lummus Park, to South Pointe Park. South Beach is known for its international jet set cachet (as well as spring break revelers), and early-20th-century architecture in the Art Deco Historic District, which is filled with pastel-colored buildings, especially along Ocean Drive. Here is our travel guide to Miami Beach, Florida.

Through Milpa, they shine a spotlight on fresh, time-honored native ingredients like heirloom corn, cacao, chiles, and squash. The homage continues with an in-house Molino where they cook and grind maiz daily to make tortillas from scratch, all in the living wisdom of Milpa to mesa, or farm to table.

CHOTTO MATTE The late 1800s was a time of mass migration from Japan to Peru. One of the unexpected results is what is now known as Nikkei cuisine. London transplant, Chotto Matte, may be the best example of it outside of Lima. Try the Nikkei-dressed sushi where traditional sushi like yellowtail tuna or scallops are “dressed” in Peruvian-style spicy sauces such as aji amarillo (a bright orange, almost fruity-tasting chili). Pair with branzino ceviche. 1666 Lenox Ave, Miami Beach; chotto-matte.com

HIDEN Hidden within a nondescript taco joint lies one of the best sushi restaurant in Miami. The roughly painted wall slides open to the big reveal: chef Tadashi Shiraishi searing tuna to perfection or slicing yellowtail snapper with the skill of an artist. Born in Brazil and raised on his grandmother’s traditional Japanese cooking, Shiraishi runs the kitchen, while his wife handles the front of house. Everything served at Hiden is true to traditional Japanese cuisine, like firefly squid or octopus blanched and tenderized in a dashi and sencha broth. The 16 course tasting menu changes daily, depending on what’s fresh and what fish has arrived from Japan, flown in twice a week. 313 NW 25th, Wynwood; hidenmiami.com

BODEGA TAQUERIA Y TEQUILA A popular taco spot in South Beach with a food truck parked on site. A winding staircase leads to an upper lounge that's perched above the bar. 1220 16th St, South Beach; bodegataqueria.com

GRAMPS This little Wynwood bar famously opened with gator wrestling during Art Basel. Owner Adam Gersten named the place after his grandfather. There's live music on a stage in the back and bocce courts on the patio. 176 NW 24th St, Wynwood; gramps.com

THE ANDERSON This bar, which took over the space formerly occupied by the beloved Magnum Lounge, has a few themes going on. It's part tropical, part '80s, and more than a little kitschy. Vibes aside, it's owned by a mashup of notable Miami restaurant alums from places like Broken Shaker, Workshop, and Vagabond, so the cocktails are excellent—pick up rum drinks at the tiki shack outside, or ’80s-esque cosmos and appletinis inside near the juke box. Food-wise, you can expect an adventurous menu of bar snacks like a Korean vegetable pancake with kale and kimchi, or a burger with aged Comté, caramelized onions, and horseradish crème fraîche—they also have nacho fries, if that's your jam. theandersonmiami.com

LE ZOO Stephen Starr has been opening Miami restaurants at a rapid-fire pace, and one of our favorites by far is the sunny, colorfully decorated Le Zoo in Bal Harbour. There's a lovely French-inspired menu, but we come for the gorgeous (and beautifully designed) drink list, which includes carefully selected wine and beer, plus a few tasteful, straightforward cocktails. It's the perfect place to stop in for a glass of wine or an Aperol Spritz to break up a day of window-shopping at Bal Harbour's pristine boutiques. 9700 Collins Ave; lezoo.com

NO. 3 SOCIAL No. 3 Social is the only rooftop bar in Wynwood, which makes it a destination unto itself—and a favorite among locals. There’s no way to describe the interior other than loud, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Fuchsia velvet seating, a turquoise tiled bar, and rattan shades suspended above—but somehow it all works. Just like the drinks. In a truly Miami move, the Beauty Secret cocktail is infused with collagen and blueberry extract for its antioxidant properties. Thursday through Sunday, a solid music program makes the deck festive and lively. And the light, tropical bar snacks—zesty ceviche and conch fritters, for example—will keep you in your (bright pink) seat late into the night. no3social.com

SWEET LIBERTY Despite Sweet Liberty's being ranked one of the best bars in the world, locals actually drink here, and tourists, for the most part, do not. The space is a little too big to feel intimate, and the best seats are at the bar. No matter how well-versed you are, you can’t help but be impressed by the selection of premium spirits, and watching the mixologists at work is true theater. Come for happy hour: The drinks are, of course, excellent, and the fresh oysters (under $1 each) go down just as easy. The rest of the bar menu is all tasty, salty bites that pair so well with the drinks—the swordfish tacos with mango pico and Asian-style tater tots with crunchy seaweed and sesame are the standouts. 237 20th St, Miami Beach; mysweetliberty.com

OTL From the founders of the poular The Smile cafe in New York, comes OTL, a casual breakfast, lunch or coffee spot. Order the avocado toast, egg and cheddar cheese sandwich with tomato jam, or kale salad with cashew vinaigrette, and homemade pastries for dessert. 160 NE 40th St, Design District; otlmia.com
