But there’s also an array of tasty bar victuals to be sampled from some of the finest restaurants in town. Dollar oysters and panoramic views, half-priced martinis and caviar-topped snacks, frozen libations and live music—get it all, and at prices that’ll make that monthly Brickell rent just a little easier to part with.

The Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse fromNYC is every bit worth the splurge—but during its Magic Hours, you don't have to.
