best cuban place to eat at ... if you want like stand up food, flager and 57av. its a corner place. but to sit down and eat good cuban food i would suggest like versailles mentioned in a post above. there is also la carretta. try to stick to the one across the street from versailles, the one on bird road and 87av is crap and bad service.
if you want to hit up night spots to have drinks and have a good time (non clubs). head over to the grove (coconut grove), the coco walk area. a good night is thursday night since its college night and at fat tuesday you can't go wrong with 1 dollar domestics and 2 dollar imports. then you could hit up mr moe's or senor frogs which is also in walking distance from fat tuesday. try moose juice from moe's. with two moose juice you'll be good for the night. senor frogs is also a nice spot. there is also this somewhat of a new spot, same building where fat tuesday is at, in the second floor also called "Coyote Ugly", supposely just like the movie.
clubs if you want to try out. there is bricks in the downtown/brickell area. in the downtown area we have nocturnal, space, and life. in the grove there is oxygen, flavour, and vision (might be shut down by the time you come over to miami). at the beach there are plenty of clubs, but do expect to pay more and have to be special to come in. haha
