Brickell Key Drive is loacted on Brickell Island. There are some good places to stay there including the Mandarin Oriental. This hotel is amazingly beautiful and has a great spa. Its a good place to stay or just visit for the spa or restaurant inside. Brickell Island is a small island but with a whole lot to offer.

79th street is where you go to start your trip through Biscayne Bay to North Bay Village and Treasure Island. Yes there really is a Treasure Island. 79th is a typical Causeway that takes you to various stops along the bay. It also takes you through Normandy Island. Traffic isn't too bad. But I wouldn't say its the best either.

Combined with the Venetian Causeway, it is not always one in the same...but basically is the same road. It takes you in between Miami and south beach to some nice residential spots on little islands. If you're afraid of the water stay away from here. But if not, its a beautiful way to go.

The Julia Tuttle Causeway is the main way to get to Miami Beach. It is not like your other Causeways where you are able to get to several small islands off of it. It is just a means to an end. Point A to Point B. Traffic can be so so. Good at times, Horrible at others. But for the fastest way with no stops to Miami Beach, this is your way to go.

Maybe I am a bit biased, but I think any and all of the causeways in Miami give you amazing views of the water. The Venetian Causeway Takes you to several small islands, a lot of residential. Traffic isnt bad and the area's are good. This isn't a place you go to find restaurants or recreation. Just a way to get home.

The only reason anyone would have to stop on this road is the Wallflower Gallery. It is for sure a diamond in the rough out there. The Wallflower Gallery showcases such a huge variety of art in many media forms. From you're normal paintings and sculptures to fashion. It is definately worth a trip to see if you enjoy art, and something new and fresh.

SW 1st Street is not really the best street in the world to visit. Its crowded, congested, too much traffic, and not much to see. There are a few shops that are hit or miss, but for the most part they are miss. One place to eat if you are up for something different is Yambos. Its worth a stop if you happen to be driving by. But other than that, I would say miss the whole street if you can.

About five minutes from downtown, 19th Street is in an artsy area of Miami. While it was not always the greatest place to visit, it has improved a little bit in the last few years. One place known on the street is the Temple Israel. Even if you are not of the Jewish faith, I would recommend checking out the place just for the beauty of it alone. They even have a gift shop and classes.

Located between downtown Miami and South Beach, MacArthur Causeway will lead you too Watson Island park. The scenery is incredibly beautiful all around. Some highlights off of the causeway is the Miami Children's Museum. Obviously centered around children, the museum still amuses some of the kids in us. A great place for families to visit where you won't be bored to tears.

NW 8th Street is smack dab in the middle of Little Havana, an area with a large Cuban influence. It is also home of the Calle Oche Festival! During the festival you can take in many different kinds Cuban foods and entertainment. The live music alone is a great reason to go visit. Its definately a good place to go for a different experience, but I would stick to the festival time.
