Head to the center of downtown for an Italian lunch at Fratelli Milano (213 SE 1st Street). Twin chefs Roberto and Emanuele Bearzi have been serving fresh pasta alongside all the Italian hits for two decades. One makes the pasta and the other handles the pastry. The eggplant parmesan is some of the best in Miami. Protip: don’t skip the bread and sauce that’s brought to the table upon arrival, in fact — ask for two orders of the sauce, it’s just that good.

After a food coma inducing meal, walk down the block to Eternity Roasters (117 SE 2nd Avenue) for a cup of pour over coffee. At Eternity Roasters, San Fran native Chris Johnson and Colombia native Cristina Garces handle small batch roasting on-site and make each cup of pour over one at a time for a custom experience. Coffees range from Colombian roasts to Ethiopian to seasonal espressos.

Drinks & Nightlife
Wet Deck Lounge
485 Brickell AveHappy hour starts early at Lost Boy Dry Goods (157 E Flagler Street). This spot gives off serious downtown vibes, just not the kind Downtown Miami is used to. From 4 to 8 p.m. enjoy half priced drinks that are anything but standard — order a Penicillin or a Hemingway Daiquiri for under $7. Grab a sandwich like the Cajun Turkey with cajun smoked turkey, Swiss, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, stone sauce, served on baguette with choice of chips to help soak up the copious amounts of happy houring.

Jaguar Sun (230 NE 4th Street) can be found in the back of X Miami’s lobby. Whether it’s a glass of obscure wine or a cleverly curated cocktail, imbibers are encouraged to try something new. Try the boozy Disco Politician made with both rum and mezcal. If anyone has a second wind and is looking for something to snack on, don’t overlook the parker house rolls served with beef jus.
