Earlier in this thread I referred to the Mary Brickell Village (Mary Brickell Village in Downtown Miami) as a place you should consider visiting if you come to Miami (Southeastern edge of Downtown Miami).
The girlfriend and I took a friend to the area for dinner a couple of weeks ago and we revisited it again last night for dinner, because of that last experience. I used to visit the area because it was close to the house, but after this trip I believe we’ll be visiting the area even more. 8 – 10 years ago when I was going down there the crowds were small in comparison to what they are today. With Brickell’s large growing condo community and it being so close to downtown Miami it draws a nice group of people.
The Herald had a write about dinning in the Brickell area yesterday, if you would like read it: Brickell dining scene comes to life
Gabriela Rodriguez has lived on Brickell Key for more than a decade, but until recently a night out invariably meant trekking over the causeway to South Beach.
Now Rodriguez sticks much closer to home, enjoying the influx of restaurants and nightlife that have turned Brickell Avenue, Southeast First Avenue and the surrounding area into a hot spot of its own.
