#33. Miami Beach

There may not be a more suitable place to wear sandals to a board meeting on this list than Miami Beach. Twice named one of our 100 Best Places to Live, the city packs a lot into its seven square miles. World class museums, the pastel-colored art deco architecture, the beach: It’s almost hard to imagine any business gets done here. Another reason to set up shop? Miami Beach is one of the Best Cities for Singles in the US.
