The Ultimate 48 Hours in Miami! 🌴The best Cuban bread ever! + Top Things to Do!

Well, good morning adventurers and welcome to sunny Miami. Don't you mean bienvenidos a mi a mi? You guys this is what winter in Miami looks like. Come on. It's amazing You know, we just love Miami because it really doesn't feel like any other US city Yeah, because it's so tropical and colorful. It can feel like Southeast Asia but with all the Cuban influence it can obviously feel super Caribbean and in some areas like this the color of the water can make It feel like you're right in the middle of the Mediterranean. We haven't spent all that much time here So we want to get a little bit more familiar with this city So over the next two days, we're gonna be bouncing around the town to hit up some iconic spots some other local favorites But most importantly hunting down the best Cuban sandwich we can find along with some other tasty and local treats There is so much to do in the city. It's a bit overwhelming So we're gonna keep it simple at first and head to Little Havana to try what many say is the best Cuban sandwich in all Of Miami. I'm hungry. Let's go eat Obviously there is a ton of Cuban influence here in Miami So we figured our first stop should be to Little Havana specifically Calle Ocho Which runs right through the middle of Little Havana. This is a super lively walking street There are so many bars and restaurants some more hole-in-the-wall some swanky There's tons of music coming from every storefront people who are not ashamed to cut a rug Oh, no, there's quite a bit of dancing. And of course, there's tons and tons of artwork Give that a little try All right, I think you got it You look just like her So there are obviously a ton of delicious restaurants to try on this street many of which are going to serve a Cuban sandwich Which as you know is what we are on the lookout for but alas We only have time and stomachs to fit one single sandwich in so we are going to head to a very highly rated place Which way is it? So in the corner of this very unassuming strip mall, it's a very famous sandwich shop called sandwich This was founded in 2017 and believe it or not. It is a Michelin recognized shop Yeah, so I guess it doesn't really have a star but it's on like the Michelin part of the Michelin Guide, right? Good enough for me So this is kind of a new school place But it has been voted on some lists as being the best Cuban sandwich in Miami So will it live up to that? This mouth is about to find that out for you guys A delicious Cuban sandwich has arrived. Check this beauty out. Oh Yeah, that looks right. I love the bread It is so thin and crispy like look how hard it is on the outside But then you can see how doughy and delicious looking it is on the inside Layers and layers of meat y'all and then of course the cheese which is just spilling out all sides of this delicious looking sandwich So when you walk in you're greeted by this huge counter where the guys are just working away Making all your delicious sandwiches They cut the bread open and they pile all the meats on there get the sandwich all prepared and then they serve it to you It's pork spiced ham Swiss cheese pickles and mustard on Cuban bread It hits you in the pleasure centers the minute it goes in your mouth These are the worst descriptions ever I am a huge fan of the crunchy layer that the bread gives it on the outside just perfectly toasted and then look how much Meat it's just like over an inch of meat. One of these is pork and one of these is spiced ham I don't know which is which and I don't care because they mesh together in a magical melange of deliciousness. How about that? That's pretty good The cheese is obviously absolutely gluttonously delicious and then you get the tanginess from the pickles a little bit a little bit zing from the mustard It's good. I guess this is for you Man that's spiced ham in there It's almost like cinnamony like Christmas ham or something like that And then of course the mustard is nice and tangy with the pickles too It definitely is hitting my pleasure centers and they are good same. We also of course had to get some croquetas These are the ham and cheese, which is pretty typical of what you'll find here and it comes with a green mojo sauce Well, that is smoky and salty and delicious it's like a mozzarella stick but Enhanced with the ham in there then the sauce. It's all crunchy and deep-fried on the outside. It's so creamy on the inside It's almost the consistency of like mashed potatoes deep-fried mashed potatoes, but it tastes like Deliciously smoked ham and cheese. I think I did okay with that description. Yeah better than I did. Okay, here we go to a delicious first meal of Miami This park believe it or not is called Domino Park Can you guess why because you come here to play dominoes which we actually did in Cuba Except it wasn't on a fancy table like this I think we had a piece of cardboard across our laps that we were playing Some locals stopped us on the street. We're like you got to play dominoes with us Yeah, that's where we learned to play dominoes and we play that often now It's one of our favorite two-person games and I usually win. I think that's why I like it so much Yeah, she's on a crazy winning streak. She's won like 30 games in a row. So I don't play anymore Yeah, if you want to come and learn though, this is a great place to do it It's actually really intimidating because these guys look like they've been playing dominoes since they were wee little ass Oh, yeah, they they know what they're doing. I just know how to do it better than Eric There are a lot of bars on this street but one that is pretty famous is this, Old Havana And as you can hear they've got some real live music happening right now and it's happy hour So I think it's time for a cocktail? I can barely even hear you, the street is so loud I said let's go We ended up getting ourselves a little Havana mule. As you can see, it's very minty. They got some fresh fruit in there and it is very gingery Perfectly refreshing But this place is super cool because obviously they have the inside where they play live music But then they have this patio area that's super jungly and very cool They also make their own Cuban sandwich, which looks pretty good. So definitely check that one out too Next up we decided to come to the most colorful and vibrant part of Miami It is Wynwood What makes this area very special is that there is street art on every single available building surface On the concrete, on the light posts, on the bars Everywhere you look you are gonna see some of the most colorful street art that you've ever seen in your life Some of it's super simple with just like geometric shapes And then some of it is incredibly complicated done by people who are actual artists Not that the geometric stuff isn't real art I was about to say, what are you saying there? Back in the 50s and 60s, this was a thriving neighborhood And then they put I-95, which cut right through here Everybody left And by the 80s and 90s, this area was pretty sketchy and dangerous And then in the 2000s, some galleries moved in and started doing art crawls And the art kind of took over from there And as you can see, they have really run with it and never stopped We've been in a lot of cities with street art But this takes the cake This is the most we have ever seen in one area And just every street you turn down has more and more and more and more Speaking of taking the cake, there is a sweet treat that we have our hearts set on It's actually not cake, so I don't know why I said that But before we do that, we are going to pre-walk off the calories and explore the beautiful art of Wynwood My goal is to find what my favorite piece is on this whole street And I'm sure you will tell us all what that is This one's actually really cool, look at that Really textured That is really cool Make sure you look close at the art on this street You'll find some really cool stuff, check that out That's like an actual giant bee inside of there So this is Wynwood Walls It is an outdoor art gallery with some of the best street art in the entire world And back up until 2021, this was all free Now sadly you have to pay to enter, it's only $12 And I guess it does help preserve the artwork and keep the area up and going I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is my favorite I just love the colors and I can't believe that somebody could come up with all of these images in their head And then paint it on such a large scale Very cool Isn't that a Coldplay song? It is I don't even like Coldplay Not gonna lie, Coldplay is not our jam So they have actual galleries here And just artwork galore everywhere And some of it is very, very good It's cool though that you can come here and take a piece of it with you Yeah, some of these pieces of artwork are for sale Upwards of $10,000, $20,000 price tag I saw on some of them Yeah, you know, so if you come here with a little extra pocket change You know, that's all you need Can you guys guess what this is made of? It's glass! I mean how cool is that? This is a shattered piece of glass And they shattered it into all these amazing paintings basically This might be the most creative, unique artwork we've ever seen This one's only $40,000 Oh yeah, retirement or this piece of art This is one of those like perspective art thingies It's really weird looking Oh man, that was so weird When you walked up it just got really small Oh yeah? So from right here it looks like a tiny button And when you go up here It's huge! Pretty cool Never gets old I think this one is my favorite so far It's like there's a crack in the building And the shoelace is kind of holding it together Pretty clever They did a good job with the 3D-ness Well said So in addition to all of the artwork in this area There is also tons of delicious food you can enjoy And we have done just that What do I say? We're doing that, we're eating things We have come to a place called The Salty And what do they make here? Something that's not salty at all Actually, ours might be This is a guava and cheese donut y'all This place specializes in small batch craft donuts It started as a food truck here in Wynwood And now they have expanded So it's all over the Miami area But it's also in some other major cities Like Austin and Denver So if you're far away from here But you still want to get your donut on Find a salty Like every place in Wynwood It is very well designed on the inside Very cool And they have so many delicious types of donuts They have maple and bacon of course There's whipped Nutella There's a pumpkin roll that looks amazing And so many more awesome donuts to try So come here and stuff your face We're told that this is one of their most Popular and unique donuts Guava and cheese I don't know what it's going to taste like Oh yeah, now we're talking I was going to tell you to take a big bite But you just did it anyway Oh I did Okay There's a lot of flavor in that thing Well confirmed That is some guava goo Deep in there I'm not going to lie Guava is not my favorite fruit In the entire world It's a little funky On the uniqueness scale It's up there It's a 10 out of 10 y'all I have no idea what Allison was talking about This donut is delicious Oh yeah It's everywhere Oh man If you like guava Get the guava donut Because I think it's fantastic We should have gotten the maple bacon for you And I'll stick with the guava Well it is starting to get late in the day And we really want to find a good Sunset spot For the sunset Well said sir But we drove across the bridge To Miami Beach And then we are going to head To the southernmost point of that Hopefully find a delicious Maybe steak restaurant We have this fantasy of getting a table Right on the water for sunset Will it work out?
