Catch the cool wave in hot Miami, where fashion, nightlife, art and style blend in a cultural cocktail as tasty as mojitos on steamy beach days.

Get Outdoors – play on Miami’s white sand beaches, hike or bike Key Biscayne, paddle beneath mangroves or swim with dolphins in the Florida Keys

Savor Unique Tastes – exotic foods for all palates: stone crabs, margaritas, Cuban sandwiches, key lime pie

Go All Night – top tips on Miami’s rooftop lounges and sweltering clubs, Fort Lauderdale’s beach bars and Key West’s legendary saloons

Hit The Road – cruise south Florida, from eclectic Coconut Grove and Coral Gables to the rustic Everglades and across the Overseas Highway to the Florida Keys

Compared to other LP's I've read, this one is really small for such a large area as Miami and the Keys. The options offered for sleeping in the Keys are really limited in scope so they were of no use to me. I did better on price than the few places they mentioned by going to the web (got better places for less money). The history section was the only part of the book I enjoyed.

I use LP guides religiously, so you could imagine my disappointment when I found that over half of the eating establishments listed no longer existed! 2 years apparently is a long lag in Miami. I would very much like to see a "Best Of/Encounter/Condensed" version released for Miami.
