Although Miami might boast more world-class Cuban, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisine than anywhere else in North America, the region has much more than that on the menu -- and we're not just talking about food, either. Miami's beaches and avenues (palm-lined and otherwise) range from warm to hot all year round; they're studded with elite restaurants, nightclubs, hotels, and resorts that serve everyone from local regulars to casual tourists to privacy-shrouded VIP-room celebrities. All told, the area is one of the most well-suited in the USA for studying any of the culinary or hospitality arts.
