Miami Design District
Just north of Midtown and Wynwood lies the Miami Design District, and 18-square block community that features showroom after showroom, and exceptional art galleries. If you are looking to make your home one of a kind or just like window shopping, this is the place to go.

Fendi Casa, Holly Hunt, URBANIA, Mobitare + Vitra and more can be found lining the district's streets. At night, great dining and lounge parties keep the Design District alive well into the morning hours. Patrons who frequent the area are just an eclectic and creative as the district itself. Artists, bohemians, hipsters and glitterati all flock to the hippest area in Miami.

Make sure to check out the Moore Building, the heart and soul of the Design District. The 1920s building dubs as an art gallery and party venue, guaranteeing there is almost always something going on here.

Got food on your mind? The newly opened Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, 130 NE 40th St., (305-573-5550) features excellent food at unbelievably affordable prices. Chef Michael Schwartz motto is do things homemade and unpretentious and keep diners coming back with reasonable prices.

For even more simplistic dining, try Pasha's, 3801 N Miami Ave., (305-572-1150). The local chain restaurant features six locations, with its flagship located in the Design District, which is open only Monday through Friday, during the day. The menu features the clean and simple flavors of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine served fast-food style but not lacking in quality.

After dining, stay in the District for a while and enjoy a drink at cool hotspots like Grass, 28 NE 40th St., or Amendment XXI, 190 NE 46th St.

Located in nearby Midtown, The Doubletree Grand Hotel on Biscayne Bay offers awe-inspiring views of the bay and Downtown Miami. Marriott Miami Biscayne Bay is in a fantastic location just a block from Downtown and a short taxi ride to South Beach.
