Local before arrival
The kitschy MiMo district is an enclave of architectural landmarks that offer a glimpse into Miami’s mid-century modern period. The designs of architects such as Morris Lapidus, Melvin Grossman, and Charles McKirahan celebrate Miami’s version of the Populuxe vernacular. This up-and-coming district is home to some of the trendiest new boutiques, bistros, and galleries. If you’re there in May, check out Cinco de MiMo, a three-day festival that puts a local twist on the Latino holiday.
