The Media & Entertainment District gets its name from the Carnival Center and the plethora of studios and media-oriented businesses that call the area home. The area is also home to a burgeoning nightlife that is a little more spread out than most other districts. But it is no surprise the nightlife bug has caught on in the area, it borders Park West and surge of residents in the area are begging for things to do after the sun goes down.
The icon of the area is the Pawn Shop Lounge, 1222 NE 2nd Ave., a 1920s pawn shop turned nightclub is as fun as it sounds. Kitschy décor and trendy patrons make this a must for any clubber. On the fringes of Overtown is Y Ultralounge, 71 NW 14th St., which is part of the Karu & Y complex, which includes Totem and Karu Restaurant.
In nearby Wynwood, Circa 28, 2826 N Miami Ave., has quickly become a locals' favorite.
