"A 120-year-old majestic oak tree serves as the focal point of this funky shopping destination just north of the Design District. The Bodhi "wish tree," as it’s called, is based on a Buddhist tradition of designating a tree to be used as the object of wishes and offerings. In addition to the tree, you’ll find gardens and walkways that connect the businesses and micro-boutiques that make up the neighborhood. It's free to visit, and offers a peaceful respite from Miami's sometimes frenetic urban core." - Sara Liss, Terry Ward
