Area Description:
The appeal of greater Miami goes beyond sun-soaked beaches and a world-renowned climate. The young metropolis also has diverse neighborhoods and a cultural richness suggestive of older, more established American cities.
This is not a typical Southern city, though, as its location might suggest. Multicultural Miami has integrated large populations of Northern expatriates, Cubans and other Hispanic groups, and those with Caribbean, European and Asian heritage. You're as likely to hear Spanish spoken as English, sip a martini or a mojito, and dine on stone crab, arroz con pollo or corned beef on rye.
