Miami: Where to stay, what to do

Flash, a bounty of tanned skin and music where the Cuban roots are never far away: Hmm, sounds like South Beach, that hot southern tip of Miami Beach, Fla., where the party never ends and where the crowd ranges from hipsters holding court at the Raleigh Hotel pool to young families taking a leisurely bike ride along the beach promenade.

This Florida hot spot still attracts the tanned, the sexy and the fabulous. But a serious food crowd is now here as well.
