fusion by way of funk - View this location on map You could hit the hotel bar scene or nightclub of the month, but brace yourself for obnoxious cocktail prices -- and attitudes. A refreshing alternative -- and one of the only spots to hear local bands -- is Jazid ( 305-673-9372; www.jazid.net), an intimate club on scrappy Washington Avenue. The dance floor gets hopping when one of the club's regular acts, Suénalo, plays its addictive fusion of Cuban son and rumba, Dominican hip-hop, Colombian cumbia and American funk.
