Where to Eat

Coyo Taco

Enter COYO Taco, a trendy and laidback taqueria serving authentic Mexican fare with a modern twist. COYO’s flagship restaurant-venue is located in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, so you can be sure to make a day of it as you take in the sights and sounds of the bustling arts neighborhood. Open for lunch, dinner, and late night service (for when you get the munchies after all those late night music events), Coyo Taco is the place to eat during Miami Music Week 2020.

Planta South Beach

Located in Miami’s hot Brickell district, Luna Park is a newly debuted, upscale food hall perfect for Italian food lovers of all kinds. In Italy, a “Luna Park” is a type of carnival or amusement park, and we couldn’t think of a more apt description for this unique venue. With three floors of casual and upscale dining, everyone is sure to find something to satisfy their tastebuds. Highlights include Macellaio RC – an Italian butchery serving certified Piedmontese beef, N.0 Osteria – which features some of the best cuisine of Southern Italy – and Puro’s, an entirely gluten-free and vegetarian restaurant. Luna Park even offers Italian cooking classes, which makes it a great place to both eat and play.

Upland

Address: 49 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
