Top 10 Special Places and Events

1. Book and Books
One of Greater Miami’s best bookstores, set amid graceful arcades.

A compact shopping and entertainment center right in the heart of Coco Village – always something or someone to catch the eye.

3. Johnny Rockets
This 1950s-style diner opposite CocoWalk is always jumping. Order a burger and fries and watch the whole of the Grove go by sooner or later.

An outrageous local tradition that sends up the year’s events and celebrities, harking back to the days when the Grove was a haven for intellectuals and eccentrics. The party climaxes with a concert and dance in Peacock Park.
