Top 5 Things To Do in North Miami

(1)

Home to one of the youngest and most ethnically diverse communities in the entire state, North Miami residents and tourists aren't scrimped for choice when it comes to food selection, which is far from what you'd expect in a suburb!

In fact, North Miami features a choice collection of restaurants comprising different cuisines from across the globe, spearheaded by Haitian and Latin American eats (thanks to its Caribbean and Latin American-dominated population!), alongside Classic American fare, Italian trattorias, Mediterranean bites, Cuban specialties, Asian delights, and hard-to-find cuisines from Honduras, Russia, Armenia, Jamaica, and more!

Best of all, these delicious cuisines are available in a casual dining setting or a suit-and-tie affair, so you'll have plenty of options within your midst, whether you're just going out for brunch or a fancy celebration for a special occasion!

So, if you think North Miami is just a land of suburbia, strip malls, and Range Rovers, think again!

On this side of Miami-Dade, eating well is not just a choice but a lifestyle!
