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.

PF Chang's

One of my favorite restaurants, it seems only natural to write about PF Chang's.  They have several location in South Florida.  There's one in Mary Brickell Village, Aventura Mall and The Falls Shopping Center.

I love most of the dishes they offer with their extensive selection of meals considered high-end Chinese cuisine.  They have many deals for budget dining and offer a Warrior card for frequent diners.  Their menu offers a wide variety of meals ranging from lettuce wraps, wontons, dumplings and egg rolls, soups, salads, rice, noodles and entrees with pork, lamb, chicken/duck, beef, seafood to vegetarian dishes, gluten-free meals and fabulous desserts.

I like to try different dishes whenever I visit however, my husband loves his all-time favorite which is not even on the menu.  He always orders the Mongolian Trio which consists of Mongolian Beef, Chicken and Shrimp.  He accompanies that with the vegetable fried rice.  This is always a delightful choice.

They are able to accommodate small or large groups.  In addition they offer take-out in small quantities or  large-party takeout served in large pans for large events.  I ordered from PF Chang's for a large party that was a complete success.  Everyone raved about the food!

You can't go wrong with this dining experience.  Visit any of the locations and you'll enjoy a wonderful meal.  PF Chang's gift cards are available and make very thoughtful gifts.

Ever-popular trendy hangout in South Miami is a gathering place which is appealing to guests of all ages.  It  is an elegant, yet informal restaurant  with a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.  In addition to being a great place to socialize, Town offers traditional foods with a signature twist.

They host a variety of Happy Hours and a weekly Ladies Night.   It's a great place to dine, drink and have a great time!

Ankarr Restaurant

*Picture borrowed from Restaurant Place
Ankarr is located in a large stand-alone building, but the actual area for patrons is very small.  Although they serve delicious breakfast dishes, their best sellers must be the tortillas,  pastries and delicious cakes.

They also offer a great variety of items for take-out and catering.  All the pastry items can also be packaged and taken away for events.  They serve mostly Spanish dishes.

This is a great place for a meal but fabulous for a party.  Order your items for your next event and be sure it will be a big hit!
