City advice
Getting around
Uber/Lyft is the best way to go
Casa Buena is a $5 ride away from Design District/Wynwood, $10-$15 to Miami Beach/MIA Airport/Brickell. Save yourself the hassle of metered parking or parking lots/garages.
Ways to save
Wynwood > South Beach for nightlife
Looking to go out at night but not break the bank? Drinks in Wynwood are dramatically cheaper than South Beach and only a few places ask for a cover charge to enter.
Book before you go
Make reservations for restaurants, especially in high season
Plan ahead for trendy restaurants, especially if you're with a large group.
