If Miami’s Ocean Drive is where neon goes to die, Wynwood is where
it’s reborn. The bright colors of the neighborhood’s famous, hypnotic murals—dubbed
Wynwood Walls—showcase some of Miami’s most inventive artists. If you’re looking to get an even deeper understanding of these public works, pick up a copy of Wynwood Coloring Book. The
pocket-sized coloring book is filled with popular Wynwood murals and the stories
of the artists who created them. Whether or not you color inside the lines is up to you.

PilathonMissing your gym routine? Pilathon is a great place to strengthen your core.

Jimmy's Eastside DinerYou'll never feel more like a local than at Jimmy's Eastside Diner. Miamians loved this place long before Moonlight was filmed there.

We've been looking for him for years!
