After weeks of agonizing over where to travel over the long Labor Day weekend (woe is me!), we finally came to a decision: Miami Beach, baby. Seriously, what’s not to love about this place? With endless beaches, fresh seafood at every corner, and art and shopping galore, just a few visits have landed this city at the top of my list of favorite weekend getaways. Add in classic art-deco architecture and vibrant Caribbean flair, and a short flight east to this locale is enough to make me feel like I’m in another country altogether. Since we’re aiming for a relaxing and rejuvenating trip this time around, I’m excited to be staying at the new Metropolitan by COMO — the crisp interiors and zen-inducing spa make it look like a total breath of fresh air, which is exactly what the doctor ordered. Other than that we don’t have much planned, so for all my fellow Miami-lovers, I’d love to get your recommendations of must-sees, must-eats and must-dos in the comments section below!

Sounds like a fun getaway. Enjoy!

Not to be missed: Joe’s Stone Crab. One of my favorite meals ever, in a setting that is classic Miami Beach.
Thanks Charlotte — I’ve heard a lot about it! Sounds like it can’t be missed.
