There are cool places to go especially in South Beach as The Level which is a club where they play cool music (techno, house, hip-hop and so forth)....good clubs are also The Iguana Cantina and The Chili Pepper in Coconut Grove .... you can also find good cafe bar both in South Beach and in Coconut Grove....particularly interesting is the 5 de Mayo festival which is a cuban festival which takes every year on May 5th.....
