You sense a little cheated this yr , do n’t you ? Like the never-ending rain and sulfurous humidness did n’t really countenance up until January , and … well , would you look at that ? All of a sudden it ’s June , which means back to day-to-day downfall and uncomfortable heat energy . But that ’s no ground to dread the approaching summer . In addition to relish air conditioning , shower four times a sidereal day , and rush to Home Depot every time the TV tells you there ’s a hurricane , here are all the things you should be doing … in grammatical case you missed it .

Go have drinks on a rooftop

If you ’re plump to brave out the heat , you may as well be on a rooftop with a piña colada in your bridge player , the breeze in your hair , and the sun seemingly 2 ft away from your fount .

Do these actually cool things when your friends visit

There ’s a lot more to do than hit up South Beach and LIV . And most of it is n’t even that expensive .

Know how to avoid the tourists

From the best rooftop to shoot , to the serious lieu to day drink and actually find a near tabular array , this is something you do not need to miss .

Never flinch on where to take a date

No matter what ' hood you ’re in , we ’ve got your back .

Hit up the best patio bars

Sometimes the rooftops get packed . When that happens , try a patio . Hey , at least the sun will feel like it ’s a walloping 5 foot away from your aspect right smart down there !

Rent a boat, take said boat up to a restaurant, and look super-cool

Boat people are at least 10 times cooler than landlubbers . It ’s a well - known , widely accepted fact .

Go see a concert (or a bunch of ‘em)

Even Marilyn Manson will be playing in Miami this year . Also UB40 … but not with each other , unfortunately .

Beat the heat with a swim

The beach is a viable option … but it ’s also go to attract a million other people looking to chill off . Try these other options instead .
