A Budget Weekend in Miami
Description:
Sure, Miami has felt the pinch like everywhere else in this economy, but that doesn't mean that spending time here has gotten any cheaper. But while it's certainly not cheap to visit Miami, a trip to the Magic City necessarily have to break your budget. For bargain-seeking vacationers, there are money-saving options to be found. Even during the high season (December through March) it's possible to find deals on everything from meals to hotel rooms, whose rates are sometimes cut in half as part of special packages.

Day 1 - Miami
Start your day with cheap eats at the Dogma Grill, then move on to the beach at Lummus Park, the perfect place to pass some time and catch some rays. Then prowl Ocean Drive for some window shopping and people watching. Spend an evening of song and dance at Automatic Slims before heading to the Clay Hotel, an affordable place to spend the night.

Rise and shine! Make the trip to the News Cafe for breakfast and a hot cup of something to start the day. Afterwards, take a trip to Bayside Marketplace for a few hours of browsing (and to pick up a couple of momentos of your trip). Have a conversaton over lunch and Shotry's Bar-B-Q before heading to the more sedate beaches of Miami. Cap off your two days with a night at Tobacco Road, the oldest bar in Miami.
