You may have seen him strolling down the streets of LA, or perhaps in his hometown in Minnesota, but David Bromstad is a true Miami, Florida resident. The artist built his home in the sunshine state, so we just had to pick his brain about the best and the brightest of the Miami area. Heading down South for a vacation getaway? We suggest keeping David Bromstad's Miami Visitors Guide in your back pocket ;)
What does your ideal day spent in Miami look like?
'I love this city and all that it has to offer. It's one of the top travel destinations in the world today for obvious reasons. You can do as little, or as much as you want, when in Miami."
"An ideal day would include taking advantage of a morning walk on the beach and watch the sun appear from the gorgeous blue waters we have here. After a nice morning workout, it is essential to be followed by a healthy breakfast. I love fresh pressed juice and Miami has many places that offer this. I am a beach lover, so nothing is better than enjoying a day at the beach and swimming in the warm blue waters we are blessed with."
Favorite restaurant/s, beach, art galleries, nightlife spots?
"After my fill of vitamin D, I take a couple hours to myself to relax and unwind. After, I shower and getting ready for dinner with friends at one of the many incredible restaurants we have in Miami. Depending on the night, I usually meet friends for drinks or go back home to unwind during the work week."
"I have a lot of restaurants that I love here. My top picks would be: Milos, Red Ginger, Sardinia, Juvia, Casa Tua, Fogo De Chao, Nobu, Red and Seaspice - amongst many others."
Above all else, what is ONE thing you MUST do when in Miami?
"This is tough because it depends on what you really like. You must see Lincoln Road and if you're there, you have to stop by The Palace for a drink and watch the drag show. It's absolutely fantastic and always a blast. If you love art, Wynwood is the place to be, especially during Art Walk, which happens once a month. For design and high end boutiques, go to The Miami Design District for sure. You have to experience the lively night life at the club of your choice. It's a real show. But...you cannot come to Miami without hitting the beaches. It's a must!"
