David T. Kennedy Park
One of my favorite areas of Miami with a cute town with lots of shops and restaurants, and a harbor to end off the day to a beautiful sunset. It is a very residential area with shops that are walkable from each other, voted as one of the best places to live in Florida.

Lagniappe
My favorite local bar with so many different type of wines and sharing food plates. We got a charcuterie board to share with the table, and a couple of bottles. I highly recommend coming as early as you can because tables are so limited and there is no time limit to each table. It is definitely a vibe and is great for both small and large gatherings.
