Perfect Places For People Watching

The weekend is upon us and if you're a Miami native means you are gearing up to do one of several things such as partying at the hottest club in the city, tanning at a gorgeous beach or going out for dinner.

But dinner doesn't always have to be just dinner. One of my favorite activities, while I'm dining out is "people watching."

Here's my list of the criteria for restaurant I plan on visiting:

• come with high recommendations from a friend or co-worker
• fresh ingredients
• a great wine/cocktail menu
• great location
• and of course a place where I can do plenty of "people watching"

The casual hobby of people watching is described as the act of observing people and their interactions, usually without their knowledge. This differs from voyeurism in that it does not relate to sex or sexual gratification. Eavesdropping may accompany the activity, though it's not required (Wikipedia).

Here are my fave spots to "people watch: in Miami:

Nexxt Cafe:

Nexxt Cafe is located in the heart of Lincoln Road. This is the perfect restaurant for good casual food in a completely relaxed environment. I love hitting up Nexxt Cafe for Sunday brunch.

The food portions are large enough to feed a small family. But my number one reason for visiting this beloved diner is the chance to "people watch." Lincoln Road is known for attracting tourists and natives alike, as well as animals (the pets of the aforementioned.)


News Cafe:

Another fun and casual spot for "people watching" is News Cafe. It's open for business around the clock and because it's parallel to Ocean Drive you will always find high volumes of people traffic.

The food and drinks here are also great. I love to have breakfast at this place!


Sushi Samba:

Sushi Samba is known for infusing flavors from Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisines. The Miami location which is also on Lincoln Road is a favorite among the locals.

And when you sit outdoors, you'll get to relish in the weird fun world that is Lincoln Road by "people watching."


Greenstreet Cafe:

Big comfy couches and yummy eats make GreenStreet Cafe one of the hottest spots to go for brunch or drinks with your friends. I enjoy doing both.

And because of it's cool corner street location you have a vantage point when it comes to "people watching," through a lot of the streets in the Grove.

What places do you enjoy going for "people watching"?

Have a wicked weekend loves!
