Things To Do
Wynwood Walls
Unique outdoor destination featuring huge, colorful street murals by artists from around the globe. At night this strip turns into a millennial hotspot filled with unique bars (mostly converted auto garages), clubs and restaurants. Definitely a place to see and be seen.
South Beach
South Beach is known for its beaches and the glamorous scene around its happening nightspots and celebrity-chef eateries. Chain stores and indie fashion shops line pedestrian shopping strip Lincoln Road Mall. On Ocean Drive, known for its well-preserved art deco architecture, outdoor cafes offer a ringside view of the scene.
Bayside Marketplace
Less than five minutes from the host hotel, Bayside Marketplace is a two-story open air shopping center located in the downtown Miami, Florida. The banks of Biscayne Bay wrap around the property with the City of Miami marina at its side. It is recognized by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitor's Bureau as the number one most visited attraction in Miami.
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
Named after one of the most captivating shorelines on the Spanish coast, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens captures jaw-dropping European extravagance in an enchanting American context. This is one of Maurice's favorite childhood memories. Visit this luxurious mansion / museum for captivating decadence on the water.
Lil Greenhouse Grill
Tired of the overly upscale and overpriced Miami restaurants?...come to this historic Overtown spot (located in the birthplace of black Miami) for some real Soul Food. Maurice guarantees that this spot will hit the spot! Why do you think Oprah stopped by? Just don't tell the tourists, aight?
The Historic Hampton House
The Historic "Black Hotel" where Barry Gordy, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson, Nat king Cole, and other black celebrities would stay when visiting (Muhammad Ali actually lived and trained in Miami). While Miami Beach was in the spotlight for its musicians and nightclub acts, it was Liberty City and the Hampton House that the black performers returned to when the show was over. This historical hotspot has been brought back to life and is a must-see museum for anyone interested in learning more about Miami's huge role in defining the Civil Rights Movement and Black America's culture.
Aventura Mall
Shopping and luxury? Miami? It doesn't get any better than Aventura Mall. Get a dose of the high-life. Ferrari store? Tesla Store? That foreign brand you can't pronounce? Aventura has it. Today Aventura Mall is the 16th largest mall in the United States and the largest mall in Florida.
Virginia Key Beach North Point Park
Featured in the Oscar winning film "Moonlight," -- this beach is a hidden gem and a cherished spot for black Miami. A great stop to get away from the crowds for a swim, and to appreciate a piece of the city's history. The drive to it is also breathtaking. Historic Virginia Key Beach Park, located off the Rickenbacker Causeway, is just minutes away from Miami’s downtown. It is historically known as the "Black Beach", and was long the only beach available to African-Americans living in Miami (despite black men providing a third of the signatures needed to officially charter the city of Miami).
