─ ABOUT THIS LOCATION
On Second Avenue, in Yorkville
Mornings on the Upper East Side begin softly, with sunlight stretching across the East River, runners along the promenade, parents moving through school drop-offs, and dogs weaving past Carl Schurz Park. Pura Vida Miami settles into that rhythm: a neighborhood spot to ease into the day and stay awhile.
Inside, the space feels bright and welcoming. Natural textures, warm wood, and greenery create a calm, comfortable setting for everything from solo mornings to family brunch, whether lingering over coffee or stopping in after a walk along the river.
