Pretty soon, it's time to head to our yachts and rooftop bars in South Beach, right?
Ha, me neither. If you are sticking around town for your kids' spring break (or if you don't have kids but feel like treating yourself to a little spring break), I devised a little itinerary with so much fun that you won't even notice there's no umbrella in your drink.
Please make sure you check that these places are open on the day you choose. Some of them would be new to me as well, so please leave your comments if you've ever visited any of them...
