You get blasted, Back to the Future Part II-style, into present-day Miami. You find that Biff Tannen did indeed become president. You quickly learn new vocabulary words like “COVID” and “Ozempic.” And, there’s no fluoride in the water, so you’re pissed you didn’t go into dentistry. But after your head stops spinning like a DeLorean tire, you look around and see the maturation of a city that has long seemed on the precipice of cultural and culinary adulthood, and you feel a touch of pride. This is the coming-of-age story we’ve been waiting to read. And it’s right here in this year’s Miami New Times Best of Miami® issue. For 2025, we honor our city’s “Modern Classic” period. Sure, we may be known for paving over our past with careless abandon, but we’re also made up of communities that take time to preserve and resurrect cultural anchors. We’re a mixed bag, baby! Here at New Times, our writers came together in a mind-meld to compile this outsize compendium of Miami’s future landmarks and mainstays in the categories of Arts & Entertainment, Sports & Recreation, Shopping & Services, and Food & Drink. Save it. Use it as a guide to the present and the future of this Magic City. Because even if you’re not into it yet, your kids are gonna love it. — Liz Tracy, Best ºf Miami® editºr Cºver, sectiºn Openers, & spºt illustratiºns by ROccO Malatesta JUNE 26 – JULY 2, 2025 VºL. 40 | Nº. 16 5 Arts & Entertªinment 38 Reªders’ Chºice 41 Spºrts & Recreatiºn 53 Shºpping & Services 69 Eªt & Drink 101 Night & Dªy Best of Miami® 2025 was written by Grant Albert, Celia Almeida, Clarissa Buch Zilberman, Carolina del Busto, Alex DeLuca, Jose D.
