In just a few years, the former district filled with closed warehouses, factories, and workshops has transformed into the arts neighborhood in South Florida. It began with murals, street art, and graffiti when encouraged by the neighborhood and investors pleased with the cheerful, colorful visuals. Today, there are over 70 galleries and museums, dozens of new restaurants and bars, and hundreds of companies, curators, and artists working in a vibrant area.
Wynwood is the largest open-air street art museum with a unique mix of renowned artists and new names being revealed day by day. 
In the past, the second Saturdays of each month were the busiest days with plenty of programming; today, the neighborhood is lively and has events every day of the week. There is so much to see!! Restaurants, bars, gardens, and lots of art everywhere.
Once frequented by a predominantly Puerto Rican working-class population, the area has transformed into the trendiest region of the city. Old factories and warehouses are now inhabited by a creative population that breathes art, collections, and imagination. Surprisingly, the place has also become a gastronomic Mecca. Exactly ten years ago, one or two bars were the only options. Today, 
there are plenty of options and styles to explore in the area, among many, here are some choices:
• Wynwood Kitchen and Bar: If you’re looking for a place to snack while digesting all the art around, this is the spot! Established to cater to the ‘Art Basel’ art week in 2010, the venue took root, made a name for itself, and remains a prime spot to experience art while you can see and be seen.
• Joey’s: The restaurant pleases celebrities and all mortals!! Known as the favorite of Jay Z and Beyoncé where we can all have a moment of glamour. On the menu, the truffle pasta, goat cheese pizza, or any item from the constantly renewing menu will surely be delicious at the first hotspot of the neighborhood that maintains its reputation as a darling.
• Kyu: Traditional in the city, chef Michael Lewis and general manager Steven Haigh from the restaurant Zuma, innovated in the neighborhood with a menu inspired by Asia. The dishes are traditionally prepared over wood fire where customers can watch the preparation. A good choice is the ribs.
In the neighborhood where art and cuisine merge in perfect harmony, a great program is the culinary tours that follow the art trail with the opportunity for delicious tastings surrounded by urban graffiti and colorful murals where you can relax and taste local beers.
Wynwood is a unique neighborhood overflowing with vibrant art, breweries, shops, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and even options for children. It’s a program for the whole family and should not be overlooked during your visit to Miami.
