"Don’t you dare call Coral Gables a suburb. The City Beautiful — as it calls itself — is an upscale town of 52,000 complete with Miracle Mile, a pedestrian-friendly downtown drag that’s also a wedding dress destination for the entire state. The first fully-planned community in America features grand homes with stunning Mediterranean revival architecture set on banyan canopy cover. It’s also the best part of Miami to head for shopping, as the Metrorail drops you right at Merrick Park, where names like Gucci, Jimmy Choo, and Tommy Bahama (it’s still Florida, after all) fill a big, outdoor plaza. It’s also home to the University of Miami, a tropical country club masquerading as an accredited university." - MATADOR_NETWORK
