Curbed Cup 2nd Round Results: Favorites advance

The Curbed Cup, our annual award for Miami’s neighborhood of the year, is kicking off with 16 neighborhoods vying for the prestigious (fake) trophy. The Final Four begins Wednesday.

After a huge upset in Round 1—No. 13 Sunset Harbour edged No. 4 Surfside—the favorites all advanced in the Elite Eight.

Our tightest matchup of the second round was predictably in the northeast region as No. 3 Brickell slipped pass No. 6 Coconut Grove by a 14-point margin. Our biggest blowout was No. 5 Downtown dismantling No. 13 Sunset Harbour by a 40-point margin.

The Final Four, which begins Wednesday, features four of the five highest seeds. Return next week for what should be a fun and competitive battle among Miami’s most popular neighborhoods.
