Miami Healing Trip | Peruvian Food, Cuban Sandwiches & Hidden Bars
📍 Why Miami? For students drowning in finals, this sunshine + food + relaxation getaway was the perfect cure! A spontaneous trip with my besties introduced us to Peruvian cuisine and tons of surprises. 🍽️ Foodie Spots 1️⃣ CHI.CHE 105 South Beach First Taste of Peruvian Food: Ceviche Mixto (citrus-marinated seafood): Refreshingly tangy and spicy—perfect for beach weather! Lomo Saltado (stir-fried beef): Tender beef + fries + rice = carb heaven 💥 Vibe: Mediterranean blue-and-white decor, great for photos 📸 Price: ~$30-50 (hype-worthy and delicious!) 2️⃣ Sanguich De Miami Cuban Sandwich: Michelin-recommended! Crispy bread + slow-roasted pork + mustard sauce—like a bite of Havana. Location: Bayside Marketplace (grab it after waterfront shopping). 3️⃣ Monterrey Bar Hidden Gem! Secret Entrance: Look for a “plant wall”—push it open to find a vinyl-record bar! Vibe: Jazz music + tropical plants + moody lighting = perfect for girl talk and photos. Must-Try: Mezcal cocktails (smoky tequila with chili rim—super photogenic). 📸 Photo Tips ✔ CHI.CHE 105: Wear light colors to match the blue-and-white backdrop. ✔ Monterrey Bar: Use Fujifilm presets—moody tones + flash = film aesthetic 🎞️ 💡 Travel Hacks 1️⃣ Transport: Uber from South Beach to Bayside (~$15). 2️⃣ Sun Protection: Miami sun is brutal—reapply sunscreen! 3️⃣ Bar Reservations: Monterrey Bar gets crowded on weekends—DM @monterreybar.mia ahead. #MiamiEscape #PeruvianFoodDiscovery #HiddenBarAdventures
