Sometimes, it’s nice to get away from your kids—we all need a break. If you’ve found a babysitter, make sure your “parent’s night out” is one to remember with a visit to one of these five great spots.
Cerveceria La Tropical
Cerveceria La Tropical—Wynwood’s Cuban brewery—is the perfect place to escape the kids for a day. It’s one of the few neighborhood breweries with a full kitchen, so expect plenty of bites like crispy yuca mojo fries, pork rinds, ham croquettes, and other island fare to pair with your suds. With so many beers on tap, repeat visits are in order. One last tip: Come on a nice day, and sit outside for the ultimate lounging experience.
Cerveceria La Tropical is located at 42 NE 25th Street, Miami, FL 33137. For more information, visit their official website.
Paperfish Sushi Bar

The restaurant specializes in Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese fusion) cuisine, so don’t be surprised to see ceviches and tiraditos listed among all the tasty options. And tasty options are many: signature nigiris like the salmon aburi and maguro-foie will blow your mind, as will miso black cod and Thai rice.
