Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's Bureau

I recently had the opportunity to roam around the website for the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's Bureau.  They have a lot of useful and informative information about Miami and vacation planning in the area.  

They offer planning guides, lists of attractions, travel advisors, restaurants, spas and golf course, etc.  They even have apps with local information.

This may be a good resource in addition to this blog, of course, for information about Miami and the beaches.

I hope you find everything you are looking for and hope you have a terrific vacation!

Come back and post your comments.  Let us know what you like to do while 

in South Florida on vacation.

La Carreta

Ever popular, La Carreta, is another must-visit restaurant in Miami.  It's almost a landmark.

Known for its Cuban cuisine, La Carreta serves a large variety of popular Cuban dishes. 

There are several locations in Miami and Broward counties.

They offer various authentic Cuban meals such as:
Sandwiches, tamales, croquetas, picadillo, vaca frita, bistec de palomilla, bistec empanizado, enchilado de camarones,  and much, much more.

They have a great breakfast menu, and breakfast meals are always served with "tostada cubana" and you can't go wrong if you add a "cafe con leche" to drink with your meal. 

Check out their website for menus and locations near you.
