Date Spots in Miami, FL

Dating in Miami

Miami dates often move from a coffee counter to a park bench to a long dinner, because the city gives you so many easy pieces to string together. Start with a coffee shop like Sagrado Cafe, Sky Coffee Buenos Aires, or Rutina Coffee, then let the conversation stretch at Shenandoah Park, Flamingo Park, or Bayfront Park. For dinner, the range is wide: Cuban at Versailles Restaurant, Argentinian at Baires grill, Greek at Calista - Greek Seafood Taverna, or seafood, steak house, and Latin American plates elsewhere. Drinks can stay simple at Finnegan's Road, Kush Wynwood, or The Corner.

Culture and entertainment make good second-date anchors. You can meet at Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, Villa Vizcaya, or Pérez Art Museum Miami, then catch a show at Olympia Theater at Gusman Center or Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. South Beach and Coral Gables both support a full evening: coffee at Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar South Beach or Graziano's Market - Coral Gables, dinner nearby, and a film at O Cinema South Beach or Coral Gables Art Cinema. The point is not to overplan; pick one good stop, add a walk, and let the city do the rest.
