About Miami
Miami sits on Florida's southeastern tip. It is an international city with a strong Cuban influence, reflected in the cafes and shops that line Calle Ocho in Little Havana. On barrier islands across the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay is Miami Beach, home to the famous South Beach. This glamorous neighborhood is known for its colorful buildings, white sand, surfside hotels and trendsetting nightclubs.

The cuisine of Miami reflects its diverse population, with a heavy influence especially from Caribbean cuisine and from Latin American cuisine. By combining the two with American cuisine, it has spawned a unique South Florida style of cooking known as Floribbean cuisine. Floribbean cuisine is widely available throughout Miami and South Florida. Located on the Atlantic Ocean, and with a long history as a seaport, Miami is also known for its seafood, with many seafood restaurants located along the Miami River, and in and around Biscayne Bay.
