Spring Break is around the corner, and you want to make it a memorable one. You put in the effort and worked hard on your studies. Now it’s time to relax and show off to your Instagram buddies how you spent your Spring Break.
Start your morning off by having some breakfast at Ohh Raw Poke and Juice Bar in Wynwood, where they serve a healthy menu of poke, acai, smoothies and juices. The drive-in style food truck restaurant also comes with a side of outdoor trendy scenic backgrounds to get your Instagram morning food picture started. Additionally, a portion of the sales goes towards the Wounded Warrior Project, so your money is going towards something delicious, and that saves lives.
Treat yourself to soak up some sun at a beach with some close friends and listen to music. It doesn’t matter where just head east until you smell the saltwater. Not a beach person or a fan of the sun? Spend the rest of the morning touring popular hotspots like Basement Miami, where you will find yourself in a colorful and ventilated area with a bowling alley, nightclub and ice skating rink. Alternatively, you can spend some time in a new museum called Artechouse, where art and technology merge to provide trippy visuals that consume you. You’ll want to capture a picture or two.
Cool off the afternoon by heading to Vicky’s House Ice cream shop in Coconut Grove, a popular rustic looking site that serves ice cream, milkshakes and beer. Or sit seaside at Seaspice in Downtown Miami for lunch where they are known for serving fresh seafood and enjoy the view on a floating deck surrounded by fairy light and the city skyline all with a waterfront view.
Spend your night strong by heading to the new Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. It won’t be hard to miss, it’s a huge glowing guitar with many Instagram-worthy pictures. Have Korean food at Bae Korean Grill or Italian food at Cipresso, end your night on a high note by partying it up at DAER Nightclub in the Hard Rock Hotel where the strobe lights and vibrating music surround you.
However you decide to spend your Spring Break, spend it safely and with good company that you can make memories with, where you can look back on all the fun you had.
