Miami

Miami's night splits into two worlds. Miami Beach and South Beach hold the classic table rooms, LIV at the Fontainebleau, Mr Jones and Vendôme among them, along with dinner institutions like Carbone and Prime 112. Across the bay, Downtown and Brickell run later and louder, from E11EVEN, which barely closes, to Space and its famous terrace sunrises.

Dinner usually starts around nine, and clubs fill after midnight. The busiest weeks are Art Basel in early December, Miami Music Week in March and New Year's Eve, when the best tables are gone weeks ahead. Tell us your dates early and we'll line up dinner, the table and a car between the two, with a police escort if you want one.
