Best Place to Take Your ParentsCollege Prowler Take
There aren’t many cities that can match Miami as far as restaurants go. There is basically an endless amount of new places to try, and thankfully the quality of the restaurants matches up with the quantity of them. If you usually eat around Sunset Place, or on US-1, you can always head to Coconut Grove, South Beach, or downtown Coral Gables for a totally different selection of restaurants. All of these areas have numerous great restaurants, ranging from casual, cheap pizza and bar food, to expensive seafood or Italian. Students with cars like eating in the Grove, which also has shops, a movie theater, and lots of bars, providing for plenty of after-dinner entertainment. Even students without transportation will be impressed by the off-campus dining. There are dozens of restaurants right across the street at Sunset Place and in the surrounding area, not to mention what else becomes available if you’re willing to risk a Metrorail ride. Most students come to school without knowing a lot about Miami restaurants, and then they fall in love with a couple and frequent them for the next four years. The great thing about off-campus dining is that there is delivery available from so many places that almost every type of food can be covered. Besides pizza, there are also Mexican, Chinese, and Cuban restaurants that deliver. For quick 24-hour dining, it’s about a five-minute to drive to Taco Bell or McDonald’s. For larger meals at all hours, look for Denny’s across the street, La Carreta and its various neighbors on Calle Ocho, or Jerry’s Deli in South Beach, where there’s never a shortage of things to do at any hour of the day.

There is a large variety at a reasonable price, but they are not all within walking distance. The Chicken Grill and TGI Fridays are good.

Sunset Place, Coconut Grove, and Miracle Mile are loaded with places to eat. You can find whatever you want. I personally like the Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Changs. There are places you can go to that are walking distance on US 441, which is right near campus.

You'll need a car for most places. Past midnight, drive thru or Denny's only.

Some Decent Restaurants.

In a walking distance, there are about 5 restaurants, and if you have a car, then there are lots of restaurants you can go.

This is Miami, there are excellent restaurants everywhere. Some highly-recommended places within walking distance to the school would include Titanic Brewery, Dan Marino’s, Johnny Rockets, The Big Cheese, and various other chains of restaurants. If someone has more expensive tastes, there is always South Beach (which has a much larger variety). |
