Miami may be a city of gold diggers, sugar daddies, and selfie-obsessed basics, but every now and then, we like to have a good 'ol time without breaking bank.
That's why we're hooking you up with some weekend fun on the cheap. The best part is, you can still pretend you're a high roller for the night.
Just check out the ten best things to do under $10 this weekend, from Kids at Culture Room to Bedside at Bardot to catwalk vogue action at the Garret at Grand Central.
