Top 5 Date Spots in Westchester
Break free from the usual Miami highlights with an unpretentious suburban escape to Westchester, your GATEWAY to a thriving Hispanic culture, sprinkling a UNIQUE romantic allure to your TYPICAL couple's getaway!
Lying at the crossroads of Miami Dade, on SW 87 Avenue or Galloway Road and SW 40 St or Bird Road, Westchester offers a land area of 4.01 square miles, with Kendall, Tamiami, and West Miami as its nearby communities.
Despite shying away from the tourists' limelight, Westchester is highly revered for its mellow and peaceful vibe, along with its bountiful dining scene, showcasing a diverse lineup of Hispanic food spots, lush nature, recreational spots, vintage nooks, and more-- a true suburban paradise showcasing a DIFFERENT Miami flavor!
Yes, lovers, a typical date around Westchester is a whole different ball game!
Here are the top five date spots in Westchester.
1) Welcome a morning of nature and recreation at Tropical Park
7900 SW 40th St, Miami, FL 33155
Are you craving a leisurely outing for your date in Westchester?
Surprise your partner with a morning of nature and recreation in Tropical Park!
Developed on the site of a former horse track in 1979, the famous Tropical Park attracts approximately 1,500,000 visitors annually for its fun outdoor activities, like bicycling, walking, or running on the miles of paved pathways, and an array of facilities, including equestrian and community centers.
Peruse around a 275-acre urban oasis hand in hand, take gorgeous photos, watch exciting games (or play them yourselves), engage in different watersports, or shop from Tropical Park's weekly Farmer's Market!
There's no shortage of fun and beautiful sights in this suburban oasis!
2) Indulge in the sweet and savory at Mojo Donuts and Fried Chicken
8870 SW 40th St #13, Miami, FL 33165
If the word "mouthwatering" had a photo, it would be a heaping pile of chicken and donuts at Mojo Donuts and Fried Chicken — the ULTIMATE taste of the town!
Yes, folks, you read it right — "finger-lickin' good" chicken and artisan donuts, all in one intimate location!
While Mojo's unpretentious ambiance wouldn't be your first choice for a ROMANTIC lunch date in Westchester, its menu proves otherwise, especially if your partner's "kryptonite" is freshly baked donuts in a myriad of flavors!
We're talking 20 to 60 (!!) flavors of artisan donuts alongside fresh, tender, crispy chicken and unique donut-chicken combos — it's a sweet and savory wonderland of your two classic favorites!
In fact, if you're looking to have your lunch and dessert in one out-of-this-world plate, you can order Mojo's signature dish, the crispy Chicken Brulee sandwich with a runny egg and bacon, where the typical buns replaced with Creme Brulee donuts — napkins are a must!
Now, that's what I call a lunch-slash-donut date well spent!
3) Bowl like there's no tomorrow at Bird Bowl Bowling Center
9275 SW 40th St, Miami, FL 33165
Fancy sprinkling a hint of retro 'flavor' to your Westchester escapade?
How about a round or two of bowling in one of Westchester's most iconic tourist destinations?
If your answer is "YES" to all, feast your eyes on Bird Bowl Bowling Center, a sixty-lane bowler's dream right on Bird Road!
A revered Westchester landmark and a famous recreation destination, Bird Bowl Bowling Center's vintage bowling alley offers unlimited bowling alongside delicious food, pool tables, an expansive video arcade, a VIP karaoke area, and a lounge for beers, drinks, and cocktails!
Take your date to the Bird Bowl Bowling Center for a fun, blast-in-the-past moment for two, and enjoy the vibrant scene with your favorite bowling buddy!
Indeed, nothing beats the CLASSICS!
4) Splurge on an upscale Argentinian dinner spread at Graziano's
9227 SW 40th St, Miami, FL 33165
Celebrate a night of love and romance with an upscale spread of high-quality Argentinian steaks at Graziano's, "the Home of Damn Fine Argentine," and one of Westchester's top-rated food spots!
At Graziano's, you'll devour the finest flavors of Argentinian cooking, including legendary steaks served in the finest, locally sourced prime cuts and cooked the traditional way— over a wood-fired grill, seasoned and sizzled to perfection!
While dinner at Graziano's is on the higher end of the pricing spectrum, it is an Argentinian steakhouse with a humongous wine collection, so each bite and sip will be worth every penny!
Of course, there's also Graziano's homey, wood-inspired Instagrammable interiors that provide a touch of MAGIC to the experience and top-notch service to boot, making it one of the choice spots for a romantic dinner date in Westchester!
I don't know about you, but that's a big fat "YES!" for me!
5) Be wild, funky, and free at Pueblito Viejo
8285 SW 40th St, Miami, FL 33155
If you're looking to take "surreal" to a whole new level, spend a romantic evening at Pueblito Viejo and transport your date to the Andean countryside — with a side of live music and lots of dancing!
Say hello to Pueblito Viejo, a casual Colombian hangout offering colorful, dreamlike interiors and a funky vibe like no other!
Think flowers, stuffed dolls, instruments, flags, and traditional Colombian clothing hanging from the ceilings alongside the paintings, photographs, and seemingly endless knickknacks lining the walls — an enchanting ambiance your date won't be able to resist!
Add Pueblito Viejo's extensive menu of Colombian classics, massive wine list, and a full bar of cocktails, cerveza, cordials, and other alcoholic concoctions to the experience, and you've got yourself a MAGICAL night out to share with your beloved!
Not convincing enough?
Come to Pueblito Viejo on the weekends and let a musical act or comedy show entertain you as you drink the night away!
