Welcome to Miami, the Home of Kaseya

As autumn descends upon Miami, this vibrant city comes alive with endless possibilities. If you’re attending the best MSP event of the year — Kaseya DattoCon on October 2-4 — prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience both inside and outside the conference walls. From artsy enclaves to bustling city centers, Miami’s neighborhoods offer a diverse array of attractions and activities.

Make the most of your time before or after #DattoCon23 and check out our curated list by our Kaseya Employee Ambassadors to see the best Miami has to offer in three neighborhoods that epitomize the culture of Miami.

Brickell:

Located in the heart of Miami’s financial district, Brickell is a thriving urban neighborhood that seamlessly blends business, cuisine, and entertainment, and the home of Kaseya’s Global Headquarters.

Where to Eat: Brickell is a food lover’s paradise, boasting an incredible array of top-notch restaurants and cafes. From elegant fine dining establishments to trendy eateries, you can indulge in diverse cuisines from around the world. Lynzee Alvarez, social media manager recommends casual spot Kush. ”If you’re craving a burger and a beer, look no further than Kush. You’ll find an amazing selection of the best beers to go along with the famous Frita Burger. You won’t be disappointed!”

What to Do: Take a break between conference sessions and enjoy a leisurely shopping spree at world-class shopping complex Brickell City Center. “If you’re looking for a space to explore Miami culture, try a variety of different cuisines, and also do some retail therapy then Brickell City Center is the place to visit!,” said Melisa Anet Garcia, associate account manager.

Where to Wind Down: Brickell comes to life at night with its vibrant nightlife scene. Experience rooftop bars with stunning skyline views, trendy nightclubs, and live music venues that cater to various tastes and preferences. Roger Sanchez-Chavez, senior account manager, suggests Rosa Sky. “It offers panoramic views of the skyline and hand-crafted cocktails – it’s not just a night out, it’s an experience.”

Downtown Miami:

Miami’s bustling Downtown district offers a mix of modern restaurants, entertainment venues and architectural gems. On your conference breaks, take a stroll down Biscayne Boulevard to appreciate Miami’s cityscape worth boasting about and pop into one of the recommendations listed below.

Where to Eat: Some of Miami’s most interesting dishes and unparalleled city views are located in the heart of Downtown — just north of the bridge that connects Brickell and Downtown. Andrea Paola Perez, MS, senior brand specialist recommends a couple of restaurants depending on your mood. “If you’re looking for something casual and tasty, Over Under has a unique menu of pub food and a fish dip that is to die for. For something more elevated, try NIU Kitchen for authentic Spanish tapas. They have a spectacular wine list as well.”

What To Do: Visit the Kaseya Center – Home of the Miami Heat. This will be the location of the much-anticipated Elements Party on Wednesday, October 4 during Kaseya DattoCon! Is art more your thing? Discover an exceptional collection of modern and contemporary art at PAMM. The museum’s captivating exhibitions and stunning waterfront location make it a must see. Roger Sanchez says “I love exploring the different galleries at the PAMM on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It’s like a sanctuary where creativity, nature and design live.”

Wind Down At: Downtown Miami means all business during the day, but comes alive at night with shimmering lights and bustling with activity. Grab a handcrafted cocktail at old-school bar Lost Boy or enjoy a glass of wine at Margot Natural Wine Bar. “Margot is all about the aesthetics and rotating wine list. It feels like a vintage 70s bar with wooden accents and minimalist furniture, and they play the best music over their retro sound system,” Andrea says.

 Wynwood:

Wynwood is a vibrant, artsy neighborhood that serves as a haven for creative souls and art enthusiasts. During your stay, make sure to explore the various contemporary art galleries, quirky boutiques and vintage shops and famous art murals that adorn the walls that surround Wynwood’s streets.

Where to Eat: From omakase at Hiden and French cuisine at Pastis, Wynwood is home to some of Miami’s best restaurants that are truly making art out of food. Melisa recommends SuViche – a restaurant that offers a fusion between Japanese & Peruvian fare. “SuViche has a hip indoor/outdoor space and serves a selection of sushi rolls, fresh ceviche and Peruvian classics like lomo saltado. It’s my favorite!”

What to Do: Wynwood is famous for its awe-inspiring street art, with the Wynwood Walls being the epicenter. Chloe Roberson, admin assistant is a fan. ”Wynwood Walls is an iconic destination that has a blend of colorful street art, cultural diversity and creative energy that makes it a must visit for anyone looking to experience the soul of the city.”

Wind Down At: Take an elevator to one of Miami’s hottest rooftop bars — Astra. This airy, modern Mediterranean-inspired lounge offers buzzy cocktails and a DJ spinning house music. Chloe suggests to order the ”Astra Mule”. “I absolutely adore Astra! The first thing that drew me in was its vibrant pink aesthetic. But what truly keeps me coming back are their amazing ”Astra Mule” drinks. Every sip feels like a mini vacation, and it’s the perfect way to unwind and soak in the Miami Vibes.”

Make a point to explore these neighborhoods, and you’ll get a taste of Miami’s distinct flavors, artsy vibes, and urban allure beyond the conference walls.
