While much of Miami is about the shiny and new, two of the city’s once run-down neighborhoods have gained new energy by repurposing dilapidated buildings as hotels, restaurants and shops, all locally owned and delightfully devoid of name-brand glitz.
MiMo (an acronym for Miami Modern) refers to Biscayne Boulevard between NE 50th Street and NE 77th Street, an area filled with 1950s-era motels.
Nearby, just north of Wynwood and the Design District, is Little River, named for its proximity to one of Miami’s only natural rivers, where shuttered warehouses and strip malls are the backdrop for artsy businesses and some of the city’s most exciting restaurants.
Here, a guide to exploring both neighborhoods.
Little RiverFor artists and entrepreneurs, a neglected neighborhood with cheap rent is a form of fairy dust. Cool artist enclaves soon attract restaurants and retail. That’s what has happened in Little River, where a local real estate developer began buying up the grid of gritty warehouses in the predominantly Haitian neighborhood. Gentrification may follow, but for now, the area blooms with tropical fauna and the kind of commerce that defines Miami as a hot spot.

Imperial Moto Cafe, tricked out with gleaming vintage Harley-Davidsons and distressed leather seating, made Little River a prime destination when it opened in 2016. It’s still where locals and a cross section of cycle and car enthusiasts gather for sustainably farmed, Miami-roasted coffee.
