Things to do in Florida, United States: The Best Neighborhoods
Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.
Restaurants in Florida
1. Worth Avenue
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,094 reviews
Worth Avenue is a shopping and dining enclave that is internationally revered for its beauty, its history and its unparalleled legacy of fine customer service. More than a shopping destination in South Florida; it becomes its own experience from the classic grace of its Mediterranean architecture to the bougainvillea that tumbles over stairwells in shady tucked-away vias. Whether it's a champagne break at a cozy bar or a short walk on the beach, it's window shopping, art and courtyard dining at it's finest. For more than 100 years, service has been the gold standard, and it's a value that residents, merchants and visitors hold near and dear.

Super fun and beautiful high end shopping area with great boutiques and restaurants! Worth is a must while visiting Palm Beach! Now, during Covid times, some stores are closed. But among the open ones are Saks, Gucci, Chanel, LV, Intermix and others.

A historic part of town filled with interesting homes from the early 20th century.
Reviewed By lj3efird - Topeka, United States
Many shops and eating places have either remodeled or built new structures for neighborhood shopping and eating. High priced homes south and east toward the historic Bayshore Blvd. and Davis Island are worth a walk through to view up close, especially the houses on Newport.

This was our first visit to historic St. Augustine. We parked at the Castillo and toured the fort and then strolled along the river, on St. George Street and in-between and beyond admiring the historic architecture of the basilica, former luxury hotels (now FlaglerCollege), the Governor House and the beautiful park Plaza de la Constitucion. We browsed in the many shops and halted in one of its landmark bars and enjoyed a nice seafood dinner in the colonial quarters. It was a magnificent sunny day, in a laid back atmosphere devoid of any overcrowding; truly a great outing and a promise to return.

The grounds of Edison Park and the Edison/Ford homes are beautiful from the banks of the Caloosahatchee River across McGregor Blvd to the champion Banyan Tree by Edison's laboratory. The tree was from India and given to him by Harvey Firestone and said to be the 1st one in the United States when it was planted in 1925. Looking at it for the 1st time, you would think it would be about 300 years old though it is only 95. It currently covers an acre with a 390 foot circumference and has a canopy height of 60 feet. There are 3 other champion Banyan's in the park and they are a sight to behold.
5. Art Deco Historic District
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,652 reviews
An area of Miami Beach noted for its concentration of over 800 Art Deco buildings all within one square mile. Consider joining the walking tour which takes you past the white- and pastel-colored stucco buildings beautifully restored to their former splendor thanks to the Miami Design Preservation League.

I flew in from SoCal which has quite a bit of Art Deco in its own right, especially in and around Los Angeles, and Miami has an absolute treasure trove of architectural gems to admire! The area is also pretty clean, easily walkable and for those into the nightlife aspect, the bars/clubs are hoppin' well after dark. Miami has a very distinct brand of Art Deco that differs from the more grandiose buildings in places like NYC (think Chrysler Building), Detroit (think Guardian Building) and LA (think Eastern Columbia Building). The beauty in these smaller structures lie in the subtle pastel colors of the facades, the sleek, aerodynamic linework, and the sheer extravagance of their neon lights at night. I highly recommend visiting during the day and night because each visit gives you a different experience. Definitely a lovely place.

9. Espanola Way
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,666 reviews
Española Way is a historic street between 14th and 15th street on Miami Beach, stretching from Washington Avenue to the western corners of Drexel Avenue. Española Way is a quaint and picturesque Spanish-inspired village designed in Mediterranean Revival style. In May 2017, the City of Miami Beach invested and completed a $2.5 million revitalization project on the pedestrian-only street. Today, Española Way is experiencing a renaissance, living out the intentions of those who built it nearly a century ago. It is a festive street where locals and travelers congregate to commiserate, create and celebrate.

Historic beach area with restaurants, shopping, fishing, bike rentals, boat tours and cozy inns and motels.
Reviewed By atljpb - Atlanta, United States
My wife and I went to St Pete Beach recently and visited friends in Pass-a-Grille (or PAG as they call it in Florida). It is a delightful area, highly walkable with lovely restaurants, beautiful homes and views and a laid back, comfortable lifestyle. Simply put..........we could live here......and might. Our friends recently bought a house here and love it. With most people working from home now, it makes sense to be in a relaxed place with natural beauty. PAG certainly qualifies. For great views while eating, the Paradise Grill there is phenomenal unless you are attacked by a hungry seagull (even that is not too bad here). Love to spend more time here and will do so soon. I would recommend it but if I do I am afraid you will like it too and may be competing with us on a home purchase (LOL).
