Winter hike in New Jersey to a waterfall❄️
📍South Mountain Reservation (Lenape Trail - Hemlock Falls)
This hike is relatively easy and quick to the waterfall. On Google Maps, the parking area is called “Falls Parking Lot, South Mountain Reservation”.
From the lot, it’s about a 0.3-mile hike (easy and basically no elevation gain) to Hemlock Falls. We passed another smaller waterfall on the way, as well as a bridge!
You can continue to walk beyond the falls on the Lenape Trail, or other marked trails.

8 Noteworthy Restaurants & Eateries In Miami Beach To Try in 2022

After visiting Miami Beach for my birthday last week, I realized how much of a foodie spot it is! From amazing tacos to incredible handmade pastas and decadent ice cream, Miami Beach has it all. Ranging from sit down restaurants to fast casual, here are 8 noteworthy restaurants/eateries in Miami Beach to try in 2022!

1. Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant

Location: 642 6th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant is an amazing fast-casual joint for authentic tacos, guacamole, burritos and more! This is the first spot we grabbed lunch at and the staff are super friendly. The food came quick and tasted incredible. We ordered the chicken tacos and shrimp tacos with a side of guac and chips, and everything costed a little over $40. They did not have any seating when we visited, but we were able to stand at a wall-side counter to enjoy our meal.

Chicken Tacos, Shrimp Tacos, and Side of Guac

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant Rating

Food: 5/5 (we loved everything about the tacos and guac)

Service/Staff: 5/5 (the woman working the counter was very friendly)

Ambience: 4.5/5 (didn’t have seats, but they do offer standing space to eat on site)

Price: 4.7/5 ($16-$17 for 4 tacos – generally reasonable for Miami Beach area)

Overall: 4.8/5

2. Pane & Vino

Location: 1450 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Pane & Vino is a nice sit-down Italian restaurant near the popular Española Way. This place was packed when we visited on a Tuesday, and they offer limited indoor and outdoor seating. Pane & Vino is the real deal for Italian, and the handmade pasta dishes are mouth-watering.

Fried Polenta Starter

We started with an appetizer of friend polenta in a creamy mushroom sauce ($17), which was very tasty. For entrees we ordered the Lasagna Emiliana ($28) and Cacio, Pepe and Tartufo ($28). All of the portions are sizable and the taste is incredible. The Lasagna is a must here!! For Dessert, I recommend the Tiramisu ($10); our waiter made it for us table-side which is cool. The staff are amiable but busy; the service was a little slow due to it seeming a little understaffed, but none-the-less, very nice people. I personally enjoy the outdoor seating and lively ambience.

Food: 4.9/5

Service: 4.6/5

Ambience: 4.7/5 (located in a bustling area, if you don’t mind the surrounding noise)

Price: 4.6/5

Overall: 4.7/5

3. A La Folie

Location: 516 Española Way, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Nestled in the popular Española Way, A La Folie is a charming Parisian cafe serving up crepes, coffee and more yummy fare. This restaurant is relatively small and offers limited indoor table seating and outdoor patio seating with servers. I enjoy the french aesthetic of A La Folie and the food doesn’t fall short either!

Interior of A La Folie

I recommend coming here for breakfast/lunch food, and ordering one of their specialty crepes. They offer both sweet and savory crepe options ($5.50-$19.50) and depending on which one you order, they can be pretty sizable. I also recommend their famous baked eggs in cocotte ($10.50-$13.50). A La Folie also offers a nice array of salads and other entrees if you are planning to go for lunch or dinner.

Food: 4.8/5 (I came here for breakfast and thought the crepes and baked eggs were very tasty)

Service: 4.6/5 (staff are friendly)

Ambience: 4.8/5 (small interior with beautiful decor, although some of the tables were quite tiny)

Price: 4.7/5 (prices are reasonable relative to the Miami Beach area)

Overall Rating: 4.7/5

4. Mama’s Tacos

Location: 710 Washington Ave #3, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Mama’s Tacos is a local Latin restaurant in Miami Beach that offers a festive ambience, delicious Mexican food, and amiable service. Their nachos ($15) are done right with lots of gooey queso and toppings so you have no dry chips leftover. I enjoyed the chicken enchiladas ($17) and my boyfriend enjoyed the chicken tacos ($17). The portions are sizable and we definitely left feeling satiated! Our waitress was lovely and the food came pretty quick, despite the restaurant seeming pretty busy. Mama’s Tacos is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

5. Koa Poke & Sushi

Location: 1600 Collins Ave Unit 103, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Koa Poke & Sushi is a fast-casual poke bowl, smoothie bowl, and sushi spot. Similar to chipotle (although fresher), the ingredients used to create the poke bowls are prepared and sitting at the counter, immediately ready for use. The woman who made our bowls was kind as well as the rest of the workers here. You can customize your poke bowl and choose between a plethora of mix-ins (lots of veggies, different protein options, sauces, rice and lettuce etc…) We both enjoyed our poke bowls and found the portions to be large. The price of each poke bowl or sushi burrito is around $20-$25, and individual sushi rolls are $12-$15. This is a great spot if you are looking for something quick, convenient and tasty!

Koa Poke & Sushi Rating

Food: 4.7/5 (tasted fresh considering everything is prepared beforehand)

Service/Staff: 5/5 (you order at the counter, and the workers here are very inviting/friendly)

Ambience: 4.9/5 (spacious interior with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating)

Price: 4.6/5 ($20+ for a very sizable poke bowl)

Overall Rating: 4.8/5

6. IT Italian Trattoria

Location: 1656 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

IT Italian Trattoria is a franchise that has a Miami Beach location. This restaurant offers handmade pastas, pizzas, salads and other treats. We ordered the carbonara and a pizza which were both about $17 and delicious. We also enjoyed a chocolate tart for dessert. Note: I noticed that gratuity is automatically included. The portions are good for the price and the food comes quick. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The ambience is very spacious and comfortable, with vibrant decor. The people working here were very inviting when we visited and this is a great lunch/dinner spot if you are looking for a quick, tasty meal!

IT Italian Trattoria Rating

Food: 4.7/5

Service/Staff: 4.7/5

Price: 4.9/5

Overall Rating: 4.8/5

7. Under The Mango Tree

Location: 737 5th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139

If you are looking for a healthy and refreshing meal in Miami Beach, I recommend checking out Under The Mango Tree. They are one of the better rated smoothie bowl places on Google, and I can tell why. The ingredients are very fresh and they have a nice menu selection to choose from. I love their acai bowls, but they also have regular smoothies, and other healthy fare. The acai bowls are a little pricy depending on the size you order and if you add additional toppings ($12-$15+). They have limited indoor and outdoor seating, and the decor is very earthy and cozy. I ate here twice during my trip because I loved it so much! I also discovered coconut nectar which is absolutely delicious on top of a smoothie bowl.

Food: 4.9/5 (great quality, fresh ingredients)

Service/Staff: 5/5 (very welcoming, brought our bowls to us at the table)

Ambience: 4.9/5

Price: 4.7/5

Overall Rating: 4.9/5

8. Midtown Creamery

Location: 1030 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Midtown Creamery whips up the best ice cream in Miami Beach. We came here twice for dessert cause it is just that good! The portions are massive and the ice cream is decadent. They do not charge extra for most toppings ranging from chocolate sauce, cereal, sprinkles, oreo’s etc… They also have giant cookies, brownies, decadent cones and more. The creations here are very instagram-worthy! I highly recommend getting some ice cream at Midtown Creamery, plus the staff are super friendly and let us try a lot of samples! The prices are not to bad ($5-$7 on avg.) considering how massive the portions are and the amount of toppings you can add on to it for no additional charge.

Ice Cream with an Oreo Cone & Oreo Topping

Midtown Creamery Rating: 5/5
