I have a good friend from there, and been a few times, but not since 2008, so I am sure I am pretty dated. Funny thing is I will be there at the end of month too for a return visit.
One thing I can advise is renting a car and going to the Keys. The drive is pretty spectacular. Key West is very chill but if that is your style, maybe spend a night there and go for a quiet dinner and drive back. Get a convertible or something nice. You can go there and back in one day too. Try and stop at some of the beaches along the way.
Try Cuban food, the only place in South Beach I know is Puerto Sagua. I like it, and it is authentic. Unless you want to go to Little Havana.
Outside of that, not much else I can recommend I have been to, and would be touristy. I like to go eat in Hialeah, but you probably don't want to go there without a local. However, you should have a great time as Miami is a pretty awesome city, and one a my favorites in the US.
