Little Havana
If you can spend
one day in Miami, whether you're here on spring break or not, you'd do well to spend it in Little Havana. Home to the city's Cuban community, the Latin beat is alive and well here. It's a colorful district, full of music, dancing, great food, and a whole lot of laughter. If you want to immerse yourself in the different cultures of Miami, this is a good place to start.

Coco Miami
In Miami's luxurious Design District, you'll find Coco Miami. It's not your typical
restaurant in Miami. This place is as much a party venue as it is a foodie hotspot. Just don't expect a rave here! The city has plenty of other nightclubs and even beaches for that kind of party. Instead, Coco Miami offers a more luxe affair. It still gets pretty lively, but instead of intoxicating drinks, you're more likely to drown in fine champagne. Not to mention dine on such delicious cuisine too. If you're more into a more refined good time, Coco Miami is your hotspot!

Serving up incredible drag shows, spring break parties, and free-flowing drinks, anyone queer can go absolutely wild here. This is the kind of place where letting loose is the name of the game. Not to mention getting so drunk that you'd hardly remember what happened the night before!
