Coconut Grove is the part of Miami that still feels like a neighborhood. Banyan-tree streets, waterfront restaurants, Sunday brunches that turn into long afternoons, and the highest density of locals-who-have-been-here-20-years in the city. It is also where most first dates and friend meet-ups happen because the pace is right.

Brunch

Glass and Vine

Outdoor, leafy, and the calmest weekend brunch in Miami. The booth on the right side is the one to angle for.

Intimate, candlelit, and one of the quietest dinner rooms in the Grove. Strong first-date hit-rate.

Gardens

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

A daytime first date that does the work for you. Walk for two hours and end with espresso in the Grove.

Coconut Grove Sailing Club

Sunday sailing lessons that turn strangers into friends within two hours on the water.

Italian-style espresso bar with the best people-watching terrace in the Grove.

Bar

Sunday's on the Bay

Waterfront, leans casual, perfect for low-pressure happy hour.
