Fantastic Food
South Florida is known for its diverse and vibrant food scene, with influences from various cultures, including Latin American, Caribbean, and Southern. Some popular dishes and flavors in the area include:
- Cuban food: Miami is home to a large Cuban population, and Cuban cuisine is a staple in the area. Popular dishes include ropa vieja (shredded beef), lechon asado (roasted pork), and black beans and rice. Cuban sandwiches, made with ham, roast pork, cheese, and pickles on Cuban bread, are also popular.
- Seafood: South Florida is surrounded by water, so it's no surprise that seafood is a staple in the local cuisine. Popular options include stone crab, conch, and mahi-mahi.
- Key lime pie: This Florida classic is a must-try while in South Florida. The dessert is made with key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and a graham cracker crust.
- Caribbean flavors: South Florida is home to a large Caribbean population, and the area is known for its Caribbean-inspired cuisine. Jerk chicken, curry goat, and roti (flatbread filled with spiced meat) are just a few examples of popular dishes.
No State Income Tax
Florida has a relatively low tax burden compared to other states. The state does not have a personal income tax, which can be a major advantage for residents. Florida also has relatively low property taxes and sales taxes.
Florida's sales tax rate is 6%, which is lower than the national average. However, local governments are allowed to impose additional sales taxes, so the overall rate can vary depending on where you are in the state.
