We're talking about very different things to do next month like, get this -- the Elvis Presley theater experience with the president of the Miami Elvis fan club, meet someone new at the Meet Up at the Miami Film Festival, equestrian show jumping on the beach, the annual family Seafood Festival, Taylor Swift in concert here, 150 works of art made with Legos in a traveling exhibit, jazz, and more Miami events April 2024. Check them out.
GableStage outdid themselves with their current production, The Lehman Trilogy, and that’s saying a lot considering I’ve been a subscriber for many years and have always enjoyed their plays. Written in Italian by playwright-novelist Stefano Massini, it has been translated in 24 languages since its debut in 1918 and was a Tony award winner. It’s the story of immigrant brothers who came to the US in 1844 and created their American dream, navigating tumultuous times in American history to create one of the largest and most innovative investment banks in the world.  Happily the play is extended to April 24.
New appealing brunch offering in a top waterfront restaurant,  "Nomad" dining experience, Purim dinner, JARANA new Peruvian restaurant, and fall harvest tour to Tuscany,  all in Eating News March 2024, Part 1.
Salty Flame is a playful take on a traditional American steakhouse, together with a contemporary favorite, Asian influenced dishes . Plus it ticks off all the other right categories: very good food, friendly and attentive service, an attractive ambiance, loungey music but easy conversation, and value. It’s on Brickell Avenue, a neighborhood where value isn’t easy to find.
When I go to Palm Beach it’s as if I hit my “shop button” and off I go. Part of the reason is that “the island” is tranquil, gentle in a way (no crazy drivers), picture perfect and everything is so easy. Any anxiety I have just seems to fade away. And then, one can find wonderful independently owned fashion and accessory boutiques with high quality and, though not inexpensive, much less than the international luxury brands and other local high end boutiques. In fact, my favorite new PB story: Mr W was admiring a blue linen blazer. We went in the store and asked the price. The salesman said 75 or 95. That meant $7500 or $9500!  So what are my favorite palm beach shops? Here’s a guide to my “go to” list of the best Palm Beach shops. And at the end look for a link to my updated list of the best Palm Beach restaurants. 
A reader suggested that I take a first look or relook some of the classic restaurants in Miami and suggested Graziano’s. Surprisingly, despite having iived here for over 20 years and heard good things about it, I never made it to one of their 11 restaurants, markets and pizzeria. Guess it’s because a blog is about news, and classics seldom make news. Thinking about the idea, together with hearing about new additions to the menus, gave me the added push to check it out. And glad I did, trying the Grazianos restaurant Coral Gables,  as I found a family owned restaurant group with an inspiring history, very popular eating spots and markets, delicious food, and  reasonable prices.
Since the last post on Little River, lots has happened,  so it was time for an update with new restaurants and things to do along with the tried and true. As you'll read, there's plenty to do to spend a few hours or a day exploring. Enjoy!
Delilah took me to my dream of spending a retro evening in the 1920’s at a glamorous Miami speakeasy complete with the jazz band and singer, dancers,and an art nouveau décor, and with a locally inspired menu. From what I’ve seen, it has to be unique in Miami. Mr. W called it  “big city 20’s elegant”.
Miami is sunshine, swelter, beaches, body-con locals, and bedazzled tourists, But there’s more to this city, too. Miami is always busy reinventing itself. The vegan scene alone has gone from huh? to happening in just 20 years, even earning Miami a spot among PETA’s Top Ten Vegan Destinations.  We do award-winning vegan burgers and bowls, but what’s really exciting is the way the local vegan scene has been showing its true colors — and flavors. The Magic City is just a hop from the Caribbean and  Central and South America. Miami’s vegan restaurants are bringing that to the table with street eats and splurges, wellness and wowl.Here are my picks for the best vegan restaurants in Miami.
