Miami’s MiMo District (short for Miami Modern) is one of the city’s most vibrant and design-forward neighborhoods — full of mid-century architecture, local eateries, and that nostalgic Miami charm. Here are our favorite things to do when exploring the MiMo Biscayne Boulevard Historic District:
Kick off your Saturday with a stroll through the Legion Park Farmers Market, one of the most beloved outdoor markets in Miami. It’s a perfect day date where you can enjoy a photo-worthy açaí bowl, shop local vendors, and stretch out by the bay for unbeatable views. Best part? It’s right across the street from The New Yorker Hotel!
If you love the thrill of a good find, Fly Boutique is a Miami vintage staple. This local gem has been curating high-end consignment fashion and home décor for decades. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt through the best of Miami style.
Since 1968, Jimmy’s East-Side Diner has been serving up stacks of pancakes and diner classics that taste like home. Known for its retro charm and classic neon sign, this local landmark keeps the old-school Miami diner experience alive.
