Category: Things to Do

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!
Get a jump on the exciting list of things to do in Miami in March 2024 (and also this month). We're talking about leading events including a Whisky experience complete with special entertainment, the Miami Beach annual Garden Tour and preview party,  an Indian Hindu Holi festival, decorator showcase in West Palm Beach,  a fashion popup with over 20 Latin American designers in the Design District and Moda Miami with best in class vintage cars and luxury lifestyle experiences. Check it out.
Who would have thought you could fashion a wonderfully creative event from an artist palette? Think 55 artists doing very inventive art works using a simple palette in two shapes, and you can see them on display and even buy the works starting at $500 at the Lowe Art Museum’s signature fundraiser, Palette Project Evening of Art on February 22. Lots more at this special evening, read about it and check out a gallery of some of the palettes.
Last year we thoroughly enjoyed the day outing to the Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d'Elegance 2024 and it’s back February 4 with even more to offer. You spend a glorious winter day in Miami walking the well manicured grounds of a championship golf course in Aventura and enjoying serious eye candy, entertainment, gourmet treats and bespoke cocktails, all included. It’s for everyone from automobile enthusiasts and the car curious to those loving people  watching. Find an automobile collection ranging from  iconic vintage classics to  modern exotics, from every decade since the '30s, with top models (and some guests) dressed to match.
Downtown Miami is on the move, slowly but surely. That will surely accelerate with the staged opening of The Miami Worldcenter, but in the meantime there’s a growing number of interesting, reasonably priced restaurants, trendy bars, shopping, and of course Miami icons for culture and the performing and visual arts. Here’s a guide to what to do in downtown Miami,  some of my favorites – new finds and the tried and true. For the listings for the arts and entertainment, you can find current and upcoming exhibits and shows highlighted. Want to know more about the restaurants? There's a link  to the places I've written about .  This is number four in my series of A Day In. Enjoy, and go check some of them out!
I've rounded up an unusual list of things to do in Miami in January 2024 for all tastes, ages and interests. Check them out and get the New Year off to an exciting start! Enjoy!
Even if you've been there before, there are more things to do in the Miami Design District as well as new shops, restaurants and eateries, including an uber fashion book and magazine store with cafe.  Here's an updated rundown of my picks:
Here are updates on up and coming places to explore and spend the day or an afternoon in Allapattah Miami. Before Mera Rubell and the Rubell Collection came on the scene there, in 2019, no one much talked about it. And now, it’s definitely on the move, enjoying a slow and steady growth and offering quality things to do, places to eat, and shop. Here’s a guide with ideas on where to go, third in my series of "A Day In":
Like art that’s visually appealing in color and design, i.e. “beautiful”? Or because it makes a powerful social or political statement? Or for the resourcefulness and innovation of the artist? Or you go to museums to see iconic works by star contemporary painters like Joan Mitchell and Robert Motherwell? Whatever your pleasure, you’ll love the new exhibit at El Espacio 23, the contemporary art space of real estate mogul and collector Jorge M. Pérez in Allapattah. And stay tuned until the end for more fiber art at The Camp Gallery. Also, coming up next week, (in time for Art Basel), an update on what's new in Allapattah.
