Wife and I have a layover in Miami next month, and looking for recommendations. We will be coming back from a week in Costa Rica on the beach, so I don't know that we need to be near the beach. Would like to be away from the airport in an area where we can do some walking to restaurants, bars, etc. Any suggestions are welcome.

South Beach is pretty walkable but also spendy.

Wynwood, Coconut Grove, or Brickell

Back in 2019, I went with a team from work to eat dinner at Beaker & Gray which was pretty outstanding.

Then we walked down the street a couple blocks to Veza Sur for more drinks.

Before the A&M @ Miami game in 2007, I went to Coconut Grove and that was alright. I don't think I'm going to make the one in September.

Commuting an hour from West Fort Lauderdale will influence my decision to go.

Brickell area is about 15-20 minutes from MIA and very walkable. That would be my suggestion

Thanks everyone!

Looking at your Colorado pics, I forgot you're in South Florida.

There is a time for every place.

Right now FL is not it. Heck been seeing 90+ on the trails all over Central and South CO while road tripping this week.
