Burgers to Try During National Burger Month. A good burger is America's quintessential comfort food, and there's no better time to get your fill of juicy meat than in May — dubbed National Burger Month. At Ariete, chef Michael Beltran masters the art of hamburger making while paying homage to his Cuban heritage. Blue Collar's Danny Serfer has a cult following among local burger lovers, too. His simple, dry-aged New York strip patty comes on a classic Portuguese muffin, cloaked with melted cheese, crispy lettuce, tomato, and onion toppings. Whether you want to splash out on a foie gras special or keep things classic with cheese, here are ten really great burgers you should try for National Burger Month — and beyond.

Wynwood Brewery & Art Crawl. You can have beer and culture in one trip with NightTables' Wynwood Brewery Crawl. Every Thursday through Sunday, this crawl takes thirsty tourists and locals from Miami breweries to the Wynwood urban art district for a tour of the graffiti and murals. The final stop includes live music and food trucks. The experience changes according to the day and area events, so no two crawls are ever the same. Prepare to go off the beaten path to explore neighborhood shops, eateries, and breweries. One beer sample is included and discounts are offered for additional purchases. Thursday through Sunday starting at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $29 via eventbrite.com.
