Everyone, from your doctor to Michelle Obama, says "eat the rainbow." To most people, that phrase suggests either downing a bag of Skittles or imagining kids ingesting unicorn poop in that Squatty Potty commercial. Eating the rainbow actually refers to consuming colorful fruits and vegetables that are rich in nutrients, and Della Bowls makes it easy to eat healthy. The food truck, conveniently parked at the Wynwood Yard, serves customized bowls ($9.50) where you start with a base of brown rice, quinoa, or greens and then add a plant-based protein like tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh; veggies; and sauce. For the undecided, there are house favorite bowls like Southwest, curry, or Mediterranean. The result is a tasty, nourishing, and surprisingly filling meal that's colorful and good for you. Look at you scarf down a day's supply of vegetables like a champ. Then comes dessert. Owner Della Heiman's sweet treats are indulgences that even the cleanest eater can allow. Gluten- and processed-sugar-free, these treats totally qualify as health food. There're the chocolate and vanilla macaroons, circular pillows of shredded coconut, maple syrup, and sea salt ($4); the delightfully spicy almond butter cups — like raw, vegan Reese's with a fiery kick ($4); the light, crunchy almond butter and coconut lime granola bites ($4) — or the fresh twist on a banana split, where the fruit is pressed through a juicer into a smooth, creamy treat ($4.50). Pick your pleasure, grab a seat in the sunshine, and feel good about your food choices. Eating clean never tasted so spectacular. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 9:30 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from noon to 10 p.m.

They came quietly, those Pubbelly Boys. In November 2010, partners Andreas Schreiner, Jose Mendin, and Sergio Navarro opened Pubbelly, a small pork-centric, Asian-inspired gastropub on the quiet, west side of South Beach known to locals as Sunset Harbour. The restaurant quickly built a following for its seemingly perfect menu of pork belly dumplings, pork belly mofongo, and the McBelly, a pork belly slider. As an encore, the trio opened Pubbelly Sushi and then Barceloneta on the same block — essentially monopolizing Sunset Harbour and turning it into one of the hottest dining destinations in Miami Beach. The three even opened a media group to handle both their own branding and that of outside clients. Of course, there have been glitches, with the closing of a few restaurants along the way. What makes these Pubbelly Boys special is that when there's a bump in the road, they dust themselves off and go forward, learning from their mistakes. In the past year, they collaborated with Norwegian Cruise Line to open Food Republic on the Norwegian Escape, where diners order dumplings and noodles from iPads while at sea. The guys also just opened their first restaurant on mainland Miami — PB Station — along with their first cocktail lounge. These boys might have come a long way from one tiny restaurant in SoBe, but their hearts — and their dumplings — are always firmly planted in Miami.

MC Kitchen chef/owner Dena Marino is obsessed with tomatoes. Look in the kitchen and you'll see a giant white bowl brimming with her favorite heirloom varieties. This is important to note, because MC Kitchen's bloody marys are made with the juice of these fine specimens. You'll find no Zing Zang or McClure's mixes behind the bar. MC Kitchen's bloody ($11) is a properly simple affair. An old-fashioned glass is filled with ice and a generous pour (one might say a pour and a half) of Tito's vodka. Then a lemon is juiced in the glass along with a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Chef Marino's freshly squeezed tomato juice is added. The final touches are black pepper and green olives. That's it — no bacon or shrimp or celery or drink umbrellas. Turns out a good bloody mary needs none of those accessories. Coco Chanel famously said everyone should remove one accessory before leaving the house. She would approve of this classic cocktail.

There are two kinds of food when you're hangry and drunk — soothing and fried. Luckily, Coral Gables' Ichimi serves both of your inner lushes. If you're the kind who wants the culinary equivalent of mom tucking you in with an aspirin and a hug, you need a steaming bowl of ramen, and you need it now. Ichimi Ramen has the cure for what ails you. The Coral Gables restaurant makes its own noodles with a dedicated machine that can pump out up to 200 servings per hour. Those noodles are served in a hearty stock. The veggie ramen, for instance, is served in a dark mushroom sauce with a bit of dehydrated pepper to give your senses a gentle boost back to reality ($19). When only a fried-food binge will sop up the excess alcohol, order Ichimi's chicken wings and the fried oyster buns (three for $12) with yuzu pepper aioli. There — you knew a human was still lurking in that booze-addled, dehydrated shell.

Sure, we have palm trees and the ability to wear bikinis year-round. The flip side, however, is the radioactive-intense sun and 99 percent humidity we get during Miami summers. And it's a good day when we're not being carried off by some tropical storm. So when the mercury hits 90 degrees, get thee to Drinkhouse Fire & Ice. Before you even walk inside, your core temperature seemingly drops at the sight of the cool blue lighting and pictures of what looks like a snow queen. Inside, you'll don a faux fur coat and hat before walking into what looks like a meat locker. Surprise! It's like being inside the Disney movie Frozen — except with cocktails! Sidle up to the ice bar (made of ice) and order a shot of vodka or a cocktail — served in a glass made of (what else?) ice. Sculptures change colors to the music, bathing you in a sea of frozen green and red. Admission to the ice bar costs $17 ($34 includes two drinks), and it's recommended you stay no longer than 45 minutes before your pampered Miami blood can't take the 23-degree freeze. But, oh, how delightful those 45 minutes in a crystalline wonderland will be.

Ocean Drive is perhaps the most touristy strip in all of Miami-Dade, but there's something to be said about being a tourist in your own city. (The hashtag #ilivewhereyouvacation was created for a reason.) But in a sea of overpriced drinks, Mango's Tropical Café reigns supreme. And because of its Tropicana vibe, the drink of choice here is the mojito, which come in 19 varieties. However, stick to the classic, because the mixture of muddled mint leaves, sugar, lime juice, rum, and a splash of soda is magical and doesn't need any bells or whistles. And the price, $12.25, is comparable to drinks on either side of the causeway. For an extra $3.50, you can sip that mojito from a souvenir hurricane glass so you can remember your staycation after the 15-minute Uber drive home.

Although owner Eddie Leon and brewers Michael Demetrius and Piero Rodriguez have been making beer for quite a few years, it's been just one year since the company's taproom opened to the public. While most Miami breweries chose Wynwood as their operational hub, Leon picked Doral, which has turned out to be one of the fastest-growing cities in Miami-Dade. Call it foresight or luck, but the move worked well. His taproom is so busy that it's already too small. Leon is planning a mega-taproom and brewery expansion. When complete sometime this summer, the brewery will have 21,000 square feet of space, with 1,700 square feet devoted to the taproom. Expansion means more amenities, such as a full bar featuring beer and craft cocktails, a kitchen serving food, and space for private parties. Leon has always been innovative, starting his own distribution company and then signing with Cavalier Distributing to expand his beer's scope. MIA has always made great beer with an eye to the tastes of its home city. Now, with an expanded taproom and distribution options, the sky's the limit.

If you want to tap into the best beers, you'd best go to the source — Wynwood. There's no denying that this artistic neighborhood is the epicenter of Miami's brewing scene. It also stands to reason that Wynwood has a kick-ass beer bar. Don't go to Boxelder seeking a massive 30-page binder full of beers — do you really need to peruse thousands of artificially flavored fruit beers? Instead, you'll find a well-thought-out selection of about two dozen beers you want to drink. The selection rotates, so check the TV screens, which list each beer available that day on tap, along with a description, price (usually $7 to $11), ABV, and which glass will be used to serve it. Selections from local breweries such as J. Wakefield and MIA share the board with beers from California and Colorado — after all, there's a big country to explore one pint at a time. If you can't make up your mind, just ask the person sitting next to you. The room is always filled with lively chatter about hops and malt. If you fall in love with a particular brew, Boxelder also sells growlers, so you can sip your favorite in the privacy of your own porch or balcony. With a food truck usually parked in back and a convivial outdoor area, it's a great place to hang out. Put your feet up and order another. The beer is cold, and the atmosphere is warm.

Martinis are both cocktail and lifestyle. As such, they must be respected and enjoyed. This is not a drink to be guzzled from a red Solo cup while Anthrax plays on the juke in some crummy dive bar. For a proper experience, grab a seat at the Traymore Gin Bar. A soothing nod to Miami Beach's art deco era, the room features silver tones, and bottles of gin are the main decoration. Your bartender greets you with a warm welcome, along with shiny platters of assorted nuts and olives. Ladies are offered freestanding racks for their handbags alongside their barstools. Though there are other cocktails, you're here for a well-crafted martini. Order it dry or dirty with blue cheese olives ($15). For a true experience, select a special spirit from the bar's collection of more than 30 gins from around the world. As you sip this elixir of the gods, Sinatra croons softly as palm trees sway gently outside. This is as far from downing hootch in a red Solo cup as it gets.

Tom Colicchio isn't just any celebrity chef. The multiple James Beard Award winner also holds an Emmy for his work on Top Chef and is heavily involved in social and political activism, especially on issues such as GMO labeling and the use of antibiotics in our foods. It stands to reason, then, that his Miami Beach restaurant, Beachcraft, sources only the best produce for its kitchens. This fresh and local mentality also works its way onto Colicchio's bar menu. The drinks use fresh fruits, herbs, and flowers to create unique and delicious cocktails. The cocktail menu changes with the seasons to use what's fresh, such as a bright Jalisco Kiss, with tequila and juniper-rose water syrup, ($15) and a Where There's Smoke There's Fire, with rye and blood-orange juice ($16). One can't-miss is the Tom's Flip on Collins, a frothy take on the classic cocktail for which the bar is named ($14). Whatever you order, know that each drink is made with the same care that the Beard winner takes on his food menu.
