Top 5 Places to Eat in High Pines | Ponce Davis
Two hidden South Miami gems that feature an elusive suburban living amidst the bustling metropolis-- this is what best describes the High Pines and Ponce-Davis areas.
High Pines, a little hamlet between South Miami and the Ponce Davis area, is conveniently located smack in the center of the City Pleasant, boasting wide, tree-shaded boulevards and neighborhood residential streets.
On the other hand, Ponce Davis is a suburban pocket within an already-notable surrounding area, tucked away from the busy Metro but close to downtown Miami and the financial district.
And though these two communities often shy away from the spotlight, they boast proximity to popular Miami tourist destinations, making them the perfect places to do a round-robin of all the great eats of Miami-- in separate areas and neighborhoods!
The two areas are surrounded by communities like Coral Gables, South Miami, Downtown Miami, Brickell, and Pinecrest, so you're "technically" graced with their culinary wonders too!
