Coconut Grove

Miami

-

Through city by-laws they try to keep the natural vegetation from being cut down to make this place live up to its name “Coconut Grove”.

I only spent two days here, but I absolutely loved it. Stayed at the Mayfair – fantastic hotel, exceptionally polite and accommodating staff, hot tubs on balconies – and thought Johnny Rockets, a retro burger bar, was an awesome find. Coco Walk is nifty for some casual shopping and a fantastic venue for a calm – even romantic – night out.

it was a cozy section of town. loads of food & shopping!

But 1 day there is too little time ti visit everything.

Picture took from Cocowalk.

I went to high school and lived in the heart of the Grove in the 80’s. I understand it was pretty cool in the 70’s, but it’s pretty well yuppified by now. :(

Great side walk cafes, little shops and a few great clubs. Was here New Year’s 1999/2000 with some of my closest friends.
