Culinary SpecialitiesFood is where the mix of cultures is really exemplified and there is a tremendous choice of Cuban, Haitian, Chinese, Greek and classic American cuisine with fish playing a principal role in most dishes.
Lifestyle
To the casual eye, Miami is a wonderful holiday destination full of sparkling glamour and vivacity. Organised crime is a problem but it is a problem for the city rather than for tourists because for both official and unofficial businesses, welcoming tourists is vital for the continued wealth of the city. There is no doubt that the lifestyle for visitors is very attractive especially during the warm, dry, winter months.
Sights
The stunning buildings that appear to rise out of the blue ocean were made famous in the 1980s’ cop show, ‘Miami Vice’ and in the current TV series, ‘CSI Miami’. The weather encourages all year round outdoor activities and Miami has many public parks that are beautifully designed and verdant to complement its golden beaches. A recent addition to Miami’s cultural canon is the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, which is the second biggest performing arts centre in the USA and home to Florida Grand Opera.
