I love to travel so I thought I'd share some of my travel tips and favorite places to visit in a series of travel guides titled: The Cubby Long Weekend Guide (insert city). I’ve written travel guides for thirty cities (and still working as I travel) to aid in your adventures.

Miami and South Beach are now year-round destinations. The nightlife industry, the fuel that drives the engine, churns all through the summer, never letting up. Most of the top bars and clubs have licenses that permit them to remain open selling liquor till 5am.

Chefs from all over the world have established outposts on South Beach, eager to be part of the scene.

Boutique hotels (the W, the Setai, the Gale, etc.) have flooded in and cranked up the quality of service to the 4- and even 5-Star levels. (Trust me, child, it wasn’t always like this.)

This really is a world-class town. And in this book I will share some things I like about it (and a few I don’t.) This is not a book to tell you how to get from your hometown to Miami International Airport, or from MIA to South Beach. You can figure that out by yourself. (And if you can’t, stay home.)

It’s also not a comprehensive book covering the County. It’s not a phone book or something purporting to cover everything. God forbid. Who’d want to read such a book? No. This, like my other Guides, is my personal take on the scene for visitors, not necessarily residents. Thus, there are no listings for some of the great restaurants I’ve trekked to in South and West Miami. The listings are intentionally brief, so they can be digested fast.
