Planning on a trip from NYC to Miami. Need 2 suggestions — 1) best neighborhood to stay for 2 laid back women in their late 30’s, 2) best way to move around between car rentals vs Uber? If car rental, any recommendations on which rental to use given the astronomical gas and rental prices?

Restaurant -
Versailles Cuban Bakery (not just a bakery but great cuban food)
Islas Canarias (great cuban food and croquettas are bomb)
Komodo (newer restaurant in Brickell really good food, its asian infused type cuisine)
Kush Burger (this is a staple)
Las Vacas Gordas (this is on the beach and is an argentinian steak place. really bomb, get the entrana steak)
Lung Yai Thai Tapas (this is probably the best thai food in miami, no reservations, it's always packed so there will be a wait but VERY worth it)
Coyo Taco (great taco spot in wynwood, they also have a backroom that you can go into and have a drink, also great music)
Area 31 (this is a rooftop in brickell, great for drinks and food, also an amazing view both night and day)
Montys (this is on south beach, it's an outdoors tiki hut type place with great seafood on the water. They also do HH on their fresh oysters, shrimp and stone crab. The Mahi Burger is great too)
Sugar Cane (great happy hour in midtown and great food)
1800 Lucky (this is in wynwood but great asian food hall and also got a dance floor)
The Butcher Shop
Zuma (a bit pricey but great brunch)
15th and Vine (great brunch place in the W hotel brickell)
Activities
Veza Sur Brewery in Wynwood (Wynwood)
Wynwood brewery (Wynwood)
Concrete Brewery (Wynwood)
El Patio (Wynwood)
Gramps (Wynwood)
Barsecco (Brickell)
Better Dayz (Brickell)
The Fontainebleau Miami (South beach, go to their pool during the day, its great)
Lagnieppe (this is a great wine bar and always packed. you pick your wine and take it to a table and can also get a cheese board)
Dirty Rabbit (also a great spanish spot to party in wynwood)
7th and Ocean (for when you want to go to the beach)
If you want to be touristy you can go to the bayside shopping mall (there are also a bunch of places to eat there although i don't recommend it. It's like going to eat in time square)
You should also go to coconut grove, there is a bar called barracudas which is fun and another place called greenstreet cafe which is also good for brunch.
You can also rent a bike and ride around the grove and take it to Key biscayne and ride the bridge (it's beautiful)
