"Remember when guys who painted on walls were called “vandals” and “hoodlums,” and were generally the kids your parents told you to stay away from? Well, now we call them “street artists” and no neighborhood in the world has a larger, denser concentration of their creations than Wynwood. This former industrial wasteland has been transformed over the last decade into America’s premier outdoor museum, where colorful, provocative murals fill tons of city blocks. Though high rents have forced out many of the art galleries, they have been replaced by some of Miami’s best restaurants, like Brad Kilgore’s inventive Alter and the authentically-Italian Sette Osteria. It’s also home to three local breweries: Concrete Beach, Wynwood Brewing, and J Wakefield, all easily walkable on a pleasant Florida afternoon." - MATADOR_NETWORK
