There are two types of people in Miami: the haves (a boat), and the have-nots (sigh). No one reading this is part of the first group, so we can all commiserate here. Yes, there’s plenty to see on land and lots of things to do in Miami, but the fact is if you’re not getting out on the water, you’re doing something wrong. Especially you water signs, we're looking at you.  Luckily, Miami’s best boat tours have something to offer every type of seafarer, from nature excursions to adrenaline-pumping speedboats and DJ’d booze cruises - the perfect thing for a celebration. Many even pull right up to some of Miami’s best waterfront restaurants and bars, just be careful not to fall in the water while boarding! Here are some of our most-loved boat tours in Miami, chock-full of cheesy celebrity spotting, al fresco drinking, and other aquatic adventures in South Florida.

There’s a reason why when people hear “Miami,” so many of them think of Miami Beach. The colorful oceanfront city is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, amazing shopping, historic architecture and, of course, all those famous South Beach clubs. Even if you live here, it’s easy to get lost in the madness of it all and miss out on so many of the best things to do in Miami Beach. Some of the best restaurants in Miami are in Miami Beach, for example, along with charming sidewalk cafes, contemporary art museums, mimosa-fueled drag brunches, thrilling water sports and so much more. You just have to know where to look, and our in-the-know local editors have done all the fun research so you can make the most of your next visit. Read on for our up-to-date guide covering all the best things to do in Miami Beach.

November in Miami is heavenly. The leaves don’t really change colors and it's still pretty damn hot (a pro if you’re looking to sun your bum on Miami beaches), but the city does take on a decidedly more celebratory spirit as we sprint toward the holidays. Plus, we haven't reached peak tourist season yet. (Just wait until Art Basel Miami Beach strikes in the first week of December.) By now, locals are embracing all things fall, making the obligatory pilgrimages to pumpkin patches across Miami and getting hyped for the festive season thanks to the many Christmas lights in Miami going up this month. And that’s just the start of it. Below, peruse our running list of November events in Miami that should absolutely be on your calendar. RECOMMENDED: Miami events calendar

Halloween Horror Nights is back for its 33rd year, operating for another terrifying 48 nights from August 30 through November 3. Despite its tagline warning to “Never Go Alone,” last year was my first-ever trip to the event, and I went by myself. It was all worth it to bring you, dear reader, this comprehensive guide to Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights, which we have updated with new information for 2024, including information on tickets, dates, the theme, rides and more. I’m the first to admit I can be a little bit of a scaredy cat. Regardless, as a fan of all things spooky and a fan of Universal Orlando, I knew I had to check it out. The event is often regarded as one of the premier Halloween events in the country (and a popular destination for Halloween in Miami), for good reason: It includes original Universal content and also brings beloved spooky season titles like A Quiet Place, Ghostbusters and Insidious to life.  Based on my first-look experience of Halloween Horror Nights, I absolutely love this event. Year after year since 1991, the dedication to theming, incredibly talented scare actors and movie-quality set design make this a must-do for fans of haunts and Halloween—and 2024 is no different.  Photograph: Courtesy NBCUniversalHalloween Horror Nights 2024 RECOMMENDED: The best haunted house in Miami What are Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando?

Miami: a sunny place for shady people—and ghosts. I’m not talking about those regrettable hookups from Hinge’s past. I’m referring to the earthbound spirits who haven’t yet found a door to the afterlife. Whether it’s murderous pioneers from the early 1900s, nefarious mobsters and cartel lords of the 1920s or 1980s, or WWII soldiers who opted to “stick around” rather than be deployed, Miami has its fair share of paranormal inhabitants that haunt us in the present day, including some pretty famous graves. In place of the colonial taverns and Victorian mansions often associated with the dearly departed, we’ve got grand villas, spooky cemeteries and even some ghost towns if you’re down for a day trip. Grab a ghost detector (and maybe a sage stick) and check out Miami’s most haunted places.  RECOMMENDED: The best pumpkin patches in Miami

Though we freaks are out year-round in Miami, there’s no eve like Hallow’s Eve to trick ourselves out and treat ourselves to a good time. Halloween in Miami falls on a Tuesday this year, which means you’re more likely to celebrate “Halloweek.” During the day, you might pop into your local pumpkin patch, check out the haunted real estate around town or test your reflexes at a good old-fashioned haunted house in Miami. If you’ve landed on this page, however, you’re probably looking to party well beyond the witching hour. And for that, we’ve combed through all the madness to bring you this roundup of the very best Halloween parties in Miami.   RECOMMENDED: Halloween Horror Nights 2024 at Universal Orlando Resort: our ultimate guide to tickets, dates and more

September 2024: Now that our hellish Miami summer is nearing its end, we've got tons of September events and things to do around the city to get you primed for fall. Of course, there's so much to explore in the Magic City no matter the season.

Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond ounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305. Aside from dabbling in our famous nightlife and exploring Miami's best bars, no trip would be complete without scoping out the booming culinary scene and our award-winning Miami restaurants. In between sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails, check off these essential Miami experiences, a mix of year-round attractions, seasonal events, cultural staples and exciting one-offs vetted by our expert editors and contributors.

When you live near the equator, chasing those cozy fall vibes can be a challenge. Sure, there are spiced lattes and haunted houses to look forward to each autumn in Miami, but what about those wholesome moments we see in the movies? Just like everyone else, we look forward to fall events in Miami and love a good hayride or corn maze. We just do things a little differently here, without the boots, coats and scarves. One thing we do have is pumpkins aplenty, from pumpkin patches at Miami's quaint farms to pop-up events with far more than just gourds. Here’s where to go to find the best pumpkin patches in Miami. And check back often as we add more to the list! RECOMMENDED: The best Halloween events in Miami

September 2024: School's back in session, fall is around the corner and our Miami Spice restaurant months are still going strong, so get out there and take advantage of all the sweet dining deals before the snowbirds arrive. For a preview of those refreshing autumn breezes, try dining on the water or in the sky at a Miami rooftop restaurant this month. Caught in the rain? Allow us to suggest a cozy afternoon sipping and nibbling tapas at one of the best wine bars in Miami from our freshly updated guide.  Our top places to eat in the city are a true mix of flavors and feels, from white tablecloth fine dining—like some of Miami’s best steakhouses—to tried-and-tested cheap eats in Miami that never, ever disappoint. And where there’s a solid cocktail there’s likely to be an epic dish that follows, so expect to run into some of Miami’s best bars on this list. Just as we've always done, Time Out’s local experts scour the city daily for great eats, great value and insider info. We emphasize fun, flavor and freshness at every price point, and update this list monthly with standout finds. If it’s on the list, whether it's a short-lived pop-up or a mega clubstaurant, we think it’s awesome and hope you will, too.

In September, scope out the museum's most recent exhibition, Every Sound is a Shape of Time: Selection from PAMM’s Collection.

Admission is free all day. Art activities are from 11am to 3pm.

Raw Figs—a figure drawing pop-up that endeavors to unite the community through the arts—holds court at Wynwood's first hotel, the modern and eclectic Arlo, throughout September. Up on the rooftop pool deck, partake in a self-guided drawing session in which you’ll connect with the present moment by doing you—no matter your skill level. (And feel free to go for a dip in the pool, should you need to cool off.) On September 19 and 26, the event takes place at Higher Ground, the property's rooftop cocktail bar. This donation-based art-making event kicks off at 6pm with materials available on a first-come, first-served basis, though guests are encouraged to bring their own supplies. There will also be food and drinks available for purchase from the bar. Just be sure to RSVP in advance to guarantee admission.

Cuffing season is around the corner—are you ready? Tinder is hosting the Miami edition of its Chaotic Singles party series at The Upside, the breezy rooftop bar of The Moxy South Beach, and you're going to want to snag a ticket if you're currently flying solo and ready to mingle. The night kicks off with an optional "Meet Cute" salsa lesson at 7pm, which will help warm things up before the main event. (The Meet Cute is capped at 50 attendees, so you've got a greater chance of making a more intimate connection.)

When the clock strikes 11, head down to the lobby for an after-party that goes until 2am. Tickets start at $17, but if you bring a Tinder match along, you'll score two-for-one.

This 24-year-old breakout rapper from the Bronx has become so ubiquitous that she's even scored her own Ice Spice-themed MTA New York City Transit MetroCards, which were temporarily available earlier this year. After her studio debut Y2K! dropped this July, Ice Spice has set out on her first headlining world tour, which includes a Miami stop at The Fillmore over Labor Day Weekend on August 31.

Another year has gone by and Miami continues to punch above its weight when it comes to one very important thing: pizza.  Earlier this week, 50 Top Pizza announced its 2024 ranking for the best pizzas in the entire world, and two Miami restaurants cracked the top 60: La Leggenda (No. 45) and ‘O Munaciello (No. 55). Both restaurants were previously recognized by the Italian pizza authority last year—though only ‘O Munaciello ranked among the world’s 50 best, taking the 25th spot. La Leggenda ranked No. 73 in the world in 2023, so the Miami Beach pizzeria has made quite the leap in the last year. The 50 Top Pizza Guide to the Best Pizzerias in the world is a comprehensive ranking carried out by inspectors over a year as they evaluate pizzerias across the planet, strictly adhering to a policy of anonymity. The assessment criteria focus on the quality of the dough and the ingredients used for the toppings. Factors like service quality, wine and beverage offerings and overall customer experience are also considered. Here’s what the guide had to say, in part, about its Miami selection this year: La Leggenda, South Beach “The restaurant resembles Naples in every way, even in its folkloric aspects. On the menu you will find appetizers, salads, and pasta, with the gnocchi alla sorrentina being particularly good, in addition to the pizzas, of course. The dough is contemporary Neapolitan, well-leavened, airy, and very digestible. The Nerano pizza, a reinterpretation of the classic pasta

Steve’s Pizza—”an essential pitstop on any trip that takes you above NE 121st Street,” as our writer put it—is turning 50 this month. To celebrate five decades of slinging affordable, sturdy pies piled generously with toppings, the family-owned and operated staple is hosting a day of half-off pizza, music and more. Starting at noon this Sunday, September 15, stop in at Steve’s (12101 Biscayne Boulevard) to score 50% off any pizza. The offer only applies to in-house orders and is limited to one pizza per customer, until 6pm. You’ll want to stick around anyway to enjoy you ’za with fellow Steve’s lovers, collect some fresh-for-the-occasion Steve’s merch and partake in giveaways and limited releases throughout the day. At 1pm, a DJ will jump on deck to add to the festive party vibes into the evening. When did Steve’s Pizza first open? Few things in Miami are as beloved as Steve’s Pizza after the age of 50, a spot that’s been kicking it since 1974. So let’s raise a slice and a pint and cheers to 50 more. Happy birthday, Steve’s!

Bon Appétit just dropped its annual list of the 20 best new restaurants in the United States, and Tâm Tâm in Downtown Miami has made the cut. It’s the only Florida restaurant to do so, and a pretty big accomplishment, especially when you consider how tightly curated the lineup is. Tâm Tâm has been on our radar since its fledgling days as a roaming pop-up and quickly climbed toward the top of our own list of the best restaurants in Miami since opening its brick-and-mortar location last summer. The restaurant also earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand award earlier this year. “Chef Tam Pham and his husband, sommelier Harrison Ramhofer, have created a funky diner vibe that extends to a bathroom equipped with a hidden karaoke machine,” reads the review from BA. “Outside, patrons chill on colorful plastic stools drinking natural wine, while in the dining room they lounge on floral vinyl banquettes and order off a menu that’s Vietnamese with a hint of Miami flair.” The writeup goes on to highlight signature Tâm Tâm dishes, like the goat curry “bathed in chili oil and served with Chinese egg noodles and a flurry of herbs,” tangy and fragrant Key West shrimp crudo and peppery, shareable lamb wraps.  “What I wanted to incorporate into the menu were things I ate growing up and loved,” Pham told us. “I wanted everyone to have the same experience.” Other major American foodie cities like Houston, Austin and Boston failed to garner any recognition from the culinary magazine this year, and

Miami could be getting a whole lot more interconnected over the next few years.  Last month, a ballot measure in the Miami-Dade primary election asked voters what they needed from Miami-Dade County transit, and a whopping 80% said they wanted more options. In response, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced a proposal that will fully fund transit reserves, according to CBS News. "The fact that the public has just given a clear message, we're going to find a way to move forward with those full reserves," Levine Cava said in the county's first public budget meeting this week. "That's the plan." RECOMMENDED: I hopped on the Brightline to experience South Florida’s art scene firsthand. Here’s what you need to know Anyone who's spent time in Miami will tell you that our public transportation network is woefully lacking. Yes, ours might be the largest public transit system in Florida, but on a national level we rank as the 15th-largest, despite being the country's ninth-largest metropolitan area. So it's encouraging that a full quarter of the proposed budget (amounting to $1.164 billion) has been allocated to Transportation and Mobility.

The mayor's proposal specifically earmarks millions of dollars of funding that would expand Metrorail and Tri-Rail service into new corridors and alleviate congestion on the coun

Have you flown out of Fort Lauderdale lately? If so, you probably won’t be shocked to learn that although it’s smaller and easier to navigate than Miami International, South Florida’s second-largest airport is much slower when it comes to getting through security. In fact, it’s the slowest in the nation. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport—a major hub for Allegiant Air, JetBlue and Spirit Airlines—has the longest TSA security line of any large airport hub in the country, according to a new study. Travelers are spending an average of 15 minutes and 27 seconds ambling through the line before they can finally kick back and relax at their gate (or the Air Margaritaville bar). That’s a whopping 13 minutes and 19 seconds longer than O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, which had the fastest average TSA lines in the study. Another Florida airport, Tampa International, came in at No. 11 with a snail-like average TSA wait time of 10 minutes and 20 seconds. The study was conducted by data collection experts SOAX, who analyzed data from Qsensor on security wait times at America's 31 largest airport hubs (over 10 million passengers in 2023). TSA wait times were gathered for each hour of each day of the week, creating an average for each airport and highlighting the busiest and least busy times to go through security. RECOMMENDED: I took a ferry to the Bahamas for a quick getaway from Miami. Here’s what it was like Wednesday is the busiest day to go through security at For

In the realm of Miami small talk, few topics get people as riled up as where you went to high school. (I grew up in Broward, so I get to politely excuse myself from such conversations.) Not only does your alma mater speak to the neighborhood where you grew up, but it's also a quick way to judge the sort of person you are. If you went to Ransom Everglades, apparently, you can count yourself among the world’s most elite pupils.  That’s according to Spear’s, a European research magazine geared toward ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals. Spear’s released its annual Schools Index 2024 ranking, which assesses schools’ academic standing as well as social and cultural factors through data collection, online forms and interviews. Since 2020, the index has published its list of the 100 best schools on the planet. Only one Florida school made the cut for 2024 out of 19 total selections in North America. Schools are ranked as either “Top Flight,” indicating that it is one of the 100 leading private schools in the world, or “Top Recommended,” which indicates a very high-caliber school just outside the top 100. Ransom Everglades in the heart of Coconut Grove received the “Top Flight” designation. “The school strives to develop students who pride themselves on their academic rigor alongside their morals,” reads the Spear’s review. “Its carefully curated curriculum is reflective of this; students are taught to be independent thinkers, capable of collaborating with others but confident en

No matter what decade it is, Miami is a skating city. Whether you ride on quads or go in-line, rock spandex or hot shorts, cruise down the beach or along the bayfront—if the sun’s out, you can count on Miamians to get their roll on. And come this fall, there’s a new spot to experience one of Miami’s most iconic pastimes.  Starting Thursday, September 12, don your neon and head to Wynwood Skate, the only roller skating rink in Miami’s booming arts district. Nestled in the back of Wynwood Marketplace, the large outdoor rink is decked out in a colorful checkerboard pattern à la 1970s disco clubs. Adjacent to the Sip & Pickle pickleball courts, it’s encircled by street art-covered shipping containers and a handful of covered cabana lounges. Similar to Sip & Pickle, Wynwood Skate is open to all ages and skill levels. Since it’s located inside the Wynwood Marketplace, you’ll also find plenty of food and drink options, plus other on-site activities like ping pong, shopping from local vendors, DJs, big screen TVs for screening sports games and more. Image: Courtesy Wynwood Skate Tickets for Wynwood Skate start at $25 and go up to $30 for late-night time slots. The admission price includes 60 minutes of skating and rental skates. Hours will be Thursdays from 5 to 10pm, Fridays from 4 to 10pm, Saturdays from 1 to 10pm and Sundays from 1 to 8pm. The last chance to get your Wynwood Skate on is November 1.

It’s a sandwich that needs no introduction: Miami’s cultural ambassador in food form, the Cubano. Warm, flaky and layered with flavors, the Cuban sandwich deserves more than just one day of recognition each year, but we’ll take what we can get. National Cuban Sandwich Day falls on Friday, August 23 and Miami restaurants are finding fun ways to celebrate. This sandwich is already a pretty accessible indulgence, but for the holiday, you’ll find extra special prices and Cubano-adjacent goodies to sweeten the whole deal.

When the Michelin Guide arrived in Miami in 2022, it served as the strongest validation yet of the strides this city's restaurants have made in recent years. Today, 14 Miami restaurants currently hold Michelin stars, and though there are many, many more restaurants deserving of recognition, these spots truly do stand out. So it's no surprise that during Miami Spice, our annual restaurant months, lots of people want to know: Which Michelin-starred restaurants, if any, are participating? That's why we've put together this handy cheat sheet, which breaks down all the Michelin-starred restaurants offering Miami Spice deals right now, and what they're serving up on special through September. There are lots more Miami Spice menus and deals to explore beyond the Michelin-starred ones (check out our full guide to Miami Spice for more).

Forget the haters: When Miamians and New Yorkers come together in harmony, they can create truly beautiful things. Take, for instance, this new ice cream sandwich collaboration between two of the cities’ trendiest purveyors of delicious treats. Miami Shores’ sustainable soft serve ice cream shop, Peel, and the NYC-imported chain of French bakeries, Maman, have linked up to send off summer the best way they know how: with a limited-edition dessert. The ice cream sandwich is comprised of two of Maman’s famed nutty chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Peel’s signature banana soft serve. Much like summer, the ice cream sandwiches are fleeting: You can only purchase them for two days, on Friday, August 23 and Saturday, August 24 at Maman’s new Sunset Harbour location at 1874 Bay Road in Miami Beach. Look for the colorful, banana-covered Peel pop-up truck out front, where you can order the specialty ice cream sandwich along with their banana soft serve.
