Bravado Living

Who said you needed to deal with peanuts and baggage claim to go on a vacation. Why not treat yourself to a staycation in the beautiful city of Miami. There are a ton of great deals right here in our own backyard (sorry national readers, tell us where you live and we’ll find discounts for you too).

If there’s one good thing about this economy, it’s lowered prices on everything. So stay at the Mondrian on Miami beach for only $345 a night using the special code below. This seems like a lot but when you realize you’ll be getting a free room upgrade, 25% off all spa treatments, and a private poolside cabana for each day of your stay- it suddenly seems more reasonable.

And if that wasn’t enough, they threw in complimentary bottle of champagne just to sweeten the deal.

The hotel is has great reviews, great location, and amazing restaurants. Take advantage of this offer, before everyone else does.

Zeke’s is probably one of my favorite things about Lincoln Road, besides the beautiful South American girls. It’s a beer garden, which mean that it’s chock full crazy imports and micro brews. At $3-$4 a beer, get adventurous, lose the Corona and the Heineken. Try a Spanish Hamburg or a chocolate beer. Seriously, with over 300 beers from around the world, this is the type of place beer aficionados dream about.

Get there early and snag a table outside, because it gets packed early. And I mean PACKED, seriously this place is really popular with the locals and with tourists. Another bummer is it’s cash only policy, which puts a dent in the plans of people like me, who like to imagine their drinking binges as good credit accumulating. It’s right by Pizza Rustica, so grab a slice, buy a beer, and people watch the hell out of Lincoln road.

Whether you are itching to impress the boss or a lady friend, this restaurant will do the trick, guaranteeing that promotion or that after dinner romp. Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita is located in the historic Brickell Firehouse and gives off an ambiance that is both elegant and inviting. The food has a global fusion theme, seemingly a mix of Spanish, Brazilian, and Peruvian food.This food is crazy good, lobster ravioli and Serrano ham croquettes crazy. The menu is divided into $18 entrees and $23 entrees with each entree getting a complimentary appetizer of your choice. Get a table out on the upstairs patio at night and get a great view of the city.
