Adventures in Miami :: South Beach Food Tour

As Miami "young professionals"...we hardly make the trek to South Beach anymore.
Gone are the days when we lived at the Waverly and somehow partied every night and managed to go to work and school full time. Today...annoyed by traffic, dilapidated bridges, years of ongoing road construction, parking nightmares, etc...it's been easier for us to find something else to do on the mainland. Thankfully with Uber in town, we've slowly been making our way back to tourist central South Beach...

our group!

We partnered with Vimbly to attend Miami Culinary Tours' South Beach Food Tour. 
The South Beach Food Tour occurs daily at Noon and 5pm for a 2.5 hour tour strolling around South Beach, learning history and sampling food for $59. Signing up for the tour through Vimbly's website is easy and communication and confirmations are sent right away.


Our tour guide, Jennifer, was an excellent and knowledgeable host who guided our group of locals and tourists through Washington Ave., Ocean Drive and Espanola Way.
Along our stroll we learned about the architectural and development history of the area, and stopped at six eateries. Our samples included churros, empanadas, ropa vieja, a Moroccan dish, gelato and more. Everything we sampled was divine, and as Miamians, we had never been to any of the restaurants before! It was a great experience to play tourists for the afternoon, learn some history, and try new spots! You will have to experience their tour for yourself to learn more about South Beach and sample some great eats! Sign up for the tour with Vimbly and receive $10 off! Click HERE!

Cabana One Opens
This session of the Coconut Grove Business Bureau is called to order. Last meeting, we brainstormed ideas to draw crowds to the Grove. Mr. Wiener suggested women in bikinis. Mrs. Wiener suggested alcohol.I’m pleased to announce you’ll find both at Cabana One, which opens softly tomorrow.Atop the Mayfair Hotel, the lounge overlooks Biscayne Bay. The beach set will love the 50-foot pool flanked by queen-size chaises. For those who prefer indoor sports, there are seven private cabanas (complete with flat-screen TVs and Wii access).

No pool party is complete without fruity cocktails, which you’ll find at the 35-foot bar (the Miami Hurricane packs a punch). And, lest we forget, the food: Along with a full raw bar, there’s American fare like coconut shrimp, chicken wings, and burgers.Sure to satisfy young Anna Wiener’s suggestion. Fresh meat.
