These range from hole-in-the-wall Cuban joints to classy lounges and craft beer bars. If you have access to a fridge this run, pick up some essentials so you don’t go broke eating out for every meal. But do try to check out a few of these spots to sample the local cuisine and culture! The Wynwood neighborhood is especially worth an Uber field trip, as it is a hub of the innovation and art scene.
