Miami: The Magic City. And no Miami neighborhood is more magical than South Beach. You know this place, you've seen it before, if not in person than in movies like Miami Vice and television shows like Showtime's Dexter. One of the world's greatest concentrations of Art Deco architecture (think 1925-1945) sits by the Atlantic surf like heaped-up mounds of pastel ice cream. At night, Ocean Drive pulses with cars, limos and music from neon-lit hotels and clubs. Raised from boarded-up delapidation to celebrated glory largely due to the Miami Design Preservation League, South Beach is the stuff dreams are made of.
