Miami Itineraries

"Head to the outdoor terrace for quiet bay views and an intimate photo-op during late afternoon light.Choose one gallery to explore slowly and discuss — it creates a more memorable shared experience than rushing.Look for museum benches and reading nooks to pause and reflect together on the exhibits."

"Outdoor seating is prime for people-watching; expect a wait at peak times.Good spot for a longer relaxed lunch before the afternoon transfer.Their menu includes sandwiches, salads, and daily specials."

"Allow time to walk the gardens — there are many photo-worthy viewpoints.Guided tours are available; audio guides can enrich the visit.Food and drink are not allowed inside the house; plan snacks for after the visit."

"Kid-friendly ordering: staff are used to families — ask for smaller portions or simple pasta/egg dishes if needed.Seating: request a sidewalk table away from the street for more space for strollers and toddlers to stretch safely.Wind-down: plan to finish dinner by 19:15 to maintain familiar bedtime routines; ask servers to box leftovers early to speed table exit."

"Start with the gardens to catch softer light and fewer crowds; the interior rooms can get busier in mid-afternoon.Use the garden pathways for intimate photo spots — the reflecting pool and stone balustrades are very romantic.Pick up a map at the entrance and focus on two garden sections to keep the visit relaxed rather than rushed."

"The Betsy has a wellness-minded lobby and towel service—ask the front desk for ice or a cold compress for tight muscles.Use this 90-minute window to foam-roll and hydrate; a short nap followed by a light snack helps if you plan an evening tempo.If staying elsewhere, ask your hotel concierge to hold any gear so you can do a later run without carrying bags."

"Run shorter tempo bursts (90–120 seconds) between blocks to maintain tempo without overheating—sidewalks are even and well-lit in the morning.The Art Deco Welcome Center has maps and shaded benches—use them for brief form checks and sunscreen touch-ups.Avoid Ocean Drive midday crowds; the morning is ideal for uninterrupted tempo intervals and crisp photos of classic facades."

"Try a locally roasted espresso or a cold brew if it's warm.Seating is limited; this is a grab-and-go favorite for many locals."

"Stop at a local ventanita (walk-up cafe window) for a cortadito to enjoy while people-watching.Browse an artisanal cigar shop together and ask for a short demo — many shops offer quick, friendly explanations.Seek out small murals and intimate art galleries tucked down side streets for quieter moments away from the main thoroughfare."
