ART DECO DISTRICT
All along Collins Ave. you can find these deliciously kitsch art deco buildings, with wonderful colourful facades in pink, pale green, pale blue, yellow.
They seem sometimes as false backgrounds for a movie or something like that. Most of them were hotels (Seville...). Walking by them was like going back in time to the roaring 20s...

A QUICK VISIT TO DOWNTOWN
If you want to make a quick tour around Downtown Miami, take the Circular Metro Rail. This is an elevated train that goes on a monorail. There is no driver, it goes automatically. You pay the 25c at the entrance and you can stay here as long as you want, as it does a circular way. It's got wide windows, through which you can see the nice skycrappers of Downtown.

"Cafe Culture" alive in Miami, only at Luna Star!
by artsmart
This cafe/bar is truly unconventional. Having lived in cities like Seattle and Chicago, where eccentric non-corporate cafes abound, I was dismayed to find nothing of the sort in Miami. Until I stumbled by chance into Luna Star Cafe in North Miami one day after I had visited the Museum of Contemporary Art. It is a quiet neighborhood, you would think it would be a bustling center of arts and eccentricities, with the museum rooted there, but it's not. In fact, it is a still undiscovered neighborhood.
The cafe has been around for over 7 years and is soley run by a very charismatic and interesting woman named Alexis who is from New York but has also lived in London and the Greek Islands. There are collected knick knacks all over the place, local art on the walls, and an L-shaped bar where locals gather and drink unique belgium-style beers. On the weekends she hosts folk music concerts. Another rarity, considering the fact that live acoustic music is also hard to find in Miami.
This place is a must-see if you like to mingle with odd and interesting characters, and if you prefer an "off the beaten path" experience. I have seen a guy in there who wears a robe, tells stories, and claims he is 400 years old! Plus photographers, artists, musicians, yet the place isnt one bit pretentious.
shopping?
by lcy
Why shopping in Miami? Miami living standard is one of the highest cities in the US.
I'm sure what u can find here, u can find in your own places.
However, since it's hot in Miami, u can find lots of bikini varieties. Clothes here are very summer!
