Miami's Vegetarian Culinary Scene





You don't have to be a pescatarian or carnivore to thoroughly enjoy the food scene in Miami. From a General Tso Cauliflower Taco to a Bureka pastry filled with Labneh Cheese, this vegetarian was well fed. Other than The Room and Della's Test Kitchen in Wynwood, I let nature take its course with my food and drink venues.

I was so enamored with Wynwood Yard that I returned for a brewski followed by a little sustenance from the Lone Wolfe Food Truck.

The most delectable revelation came from Naked Taco. I spied the red beauty on the patio and had to check out the menu. So glad I did, because it was foodporn heaven.

Random venues include the 11th Street Diner, BurgerFi, Abbey Brewing Co., RUST Wynwood, and Aroma Espresso Bar. I neglected to get photos at 11th Street Diner or BurgerFi because I was hangry. 

The patio at 11th Street Diner is good for people watching while munching on sweet potato fries and sipping wine. The yummy VegeFi Burger is made with crispy quinoa and I wanted another, but I had to save room for brews at Abbey. 

There were so many good beer options at Abbey Brewing that I was at a loss. The wonderful bartender let me taste all the beers I was interested in and I decided on a pint of Brother Dan's Double and Father Theodore's Stout.



My final restaurant stop was breakfast at Aroma Espresso Bar. After perusing the menu, I was sad that I wouldn't have an opportunity to try their lunch options. I consumed a poppy seed pastry immediately and saved the Bureka stuffed with Labneh Cheese for the airport.

Wynwood Walls Will Take Your Breath Away



Just when I think I have seen it all, I wander the streets of Wynwood and my jaw drops. Over and over again. The stunning murals passionately crafted by talented artists will literally take your breath away.

The neighborhood isn't very large and I recommend going to Wynwood Walls (2520 NW 2nd Ave.) early to beat the crowds. I became so engrossed that I wound up there in the afternoon along with too many other oglers. Wynwood Yard is not to be missed and the perfect place for a lunch break http://bit.ly/2no6Xvq




I found a ton of impressive street art on either side of Miami Avenue between 23rd and 29th. Stroll to your heart's content and stop for another refreshing beverage at RUST Wynwood. I'm not an IPA kind of gal; however, the staff convinced me to try Jai Alai by Cigar City and I loved every drop.



Another must while traversing the area is Give Good Works Vintage Boutique. I was immediately drawn to the decor outside and couldn't wait to see what the inside had to offer (cool stuff galore). http://www.givegoodworks.org/





I don't know if it's possible to post everything I discovered, but let's give it a whirl.



































































































































Until we meet again, Wynwood....
