I had not been to Miami Beach in ages and I was so glad to be back in this area. Time Out Miami Market is an upscale yet casual food court that offers many food choices for all diners. We visited 4 different stalls and tried food from Vietnam, Perú, Italy, and America, of course. […]
I can’t believe that fifteen years have passed since that sunny Wednesday afternoon when she was born. I was concerned because she was a month early. Then out came this tiny and feisty little girl, very small, a little over four pounds, with huge hands and feet compared to the rest of her body. Fifteen […]
I was longing to go back to Essensia as I had not been there in a while. When I heard that Chef Julie Frans was again responsible for menu creation, that was all the excuse I needed to revisit this restaurant that specializes in multicultural Miami Cuisine using local and sustainable ingredients. Working alongside Executive […]
I had the opportunity to visit Red, The Steakhouse recently, and got the chance to taste some delicious and decadent food. The ambiance and décor were very romantic and elegant, a perfect place to take your special someone for Valentine’s Day dinner. The occasion for the visit was Chef’s Peter Vauthy’s tasting menu that was […]
These little “houses” on stilts scattered on the beaches of Miami Beach fascinate me. The colors and the wood construction remind me of the Caribbean. With about 29 locations located between South Pointe and 87th Street, these Rescue Stations are beautiful, interesting, colorful little gems of architecture that provide an important service to the community. There are […]
Situated in Miami Beach, this restaurant serves exquisite steaks and has an extensive wine list. They also have a new Bar Bites menu for the football season, which offers a variety of tapas-like items and interesting cocktails. Red, The Steakhouse is no ordinary restaurant so when I was invited to go, I could not refuse. […]
This Miami Beach hotel was really nice – pretty, new, on the beach, excellent food and service. It is a place I would re-visit in a nano-second. I think is essential to do something different and change your routine every once in a while – doing the same things, going to the same places, eating […]
On a balmy Saturday afternoon, we sat down to have lunch outside at the outdoor-covered bar, under the fans. The diners around us were from all over: we heard German, French, Italian and Polish being spoken, among other languages. It was like stepping into another country just for a little bit – we could […]
On a perfect afternoon on the rooftop of The Betsy Hotel in South Beach we had the ideal gathering to celebrate the holidays and each other. Brilliant sun, lovely food, a stunning view. The best thing was that it took place from 2pm to 5pm, during working hours, so it was a real treat for me as I do […]
Terrazza at Shore Club is a restaurant with a pool-view and a cool vibe. It offers a variety of Italian dishes that are sure to tantalize and delight all of the senses. It was a hot day and not too breezy. Sitting outside was the only option for us though as the terrace was so inviting […]
We embraced the South Beach lifestyle once more and reserved a room at the Congress Hotel South Beach in Miami Beach. Congress Hotel South Beach is an oceanfront hotel located in Miami’s South Beach district. As usual, we had the time of our lives just chilling out on the balcony with a serene and beautiful […]
I believe in the power of The Getaway: the power to restore, revive and re-awaken the senses and open the mind to new experiences. It does not have to be a faraway place or some hidden sanctuary, just somewhere different where you can sleep in a bed other than your own and eat food prepared […]
Our family likes to take little trips and stay in a hotel for one night, just to do something different and learn a little more about the city we live in. This time we stayed at The Bentley Hotel South Beach and we had a really good time. The hotel was right on Ocean Drive, […]
Juvia is one of those unforgettable restaurants that keep popping into my mind every now and then. Not only because of the food but also because of the view and their retractable roof. I was joined by Norma and her husband Phil on this culinary journey. The food, as always, was interesting and quite unique. […]
