Always a not-to-be-missed event for fashion and hat spotting is The Annual Miami Beach Garden Club Spring Luncheon which never disappoints.  Last month the tony Indian Creek Country Club dining room was awash with glorious flowers, an homage to Monet’s Garden, this year’s theme.  Members and guests dressed in beautiful florals wore hats, most they had made,  decorated with live plant material.  Here are some of my favorite outfits and hats at the Miami Beach Garden Club Luncheon, And note if you're interested in joining the Garden Club (no need to live on the Beach), look for an email at the end to get more information.
Looking for a nearby place to de-stress, get rid of anxiety, envelop yourself in nature, enjoy land and water sports and “astrotourism”? It’s just under a two hour drive away and now it has a comfortable, modern new lodge! Where? The Everglades. After an overnight “staycation”  at Flamingo Lodge I saw the grandeur and beauty, and learned about and enjoyed the treasure we have in our backyard. Here's more about the lodge and things to do in Everglades National Park.
We're coming into "off season" in Miami but there's no let up in restaurant openings and other eating news including a high profile chef in residence at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, a new option in luxury brunch offerings, and a great deal at Fogo de Chao Brazilian churrascaria. Plus, my review of Greek restaurant Bakalo Mykonos on Miami Beach.
LEKU has always been a class act – its top notch Basque cuisine with an emphasis on meats, casually elegant in the garden setting of the Rubell Museum, professional service, and attractive crowd that’s not showy. Under these circumstances, few restaurants would transform themselves with a fresh approach, new chef and new menu, but not so here. The three high profile team members leading the “new” LEKU has just debuted  LEKU Fish and Garden, and once again they have a winner.
Lots of things to do in Miami in May 2024 you'll want to check out including Ping Pod that has attracted 85000 ping pong lovers across the USA and now in Miami,  a men's fashion destination,  the Little Haiti Book Festival with events for all interests, the annual Hyundai Air & Sea Show, Grand Tasting of the Authentic Italian Food and Wine Festival, a fascinating photo exhibit on Operation Moses, Cuba 2024 music showcase and more.
Second in a series of rediscovering Miami classics is Toni’s Sushi Bar Miami Beach, the beach's longest running sushi bar. This classic now has a very new look, celebrating its anticipated 40thanniversary with a handsome redesign by New York City firm KONO Designs and four traditional craftsmen flown in from Japan who count ancient temples and royal gardens among their work. In its four decades, Toni’s has not only kept up with eating trends, but ahead of many, with their very varied and appealing menu selections and delicious food that we really enjoyed. Plus, it's reasonably priced.
Miami Attraction & Museum Months 2024 are back with a record-breaking number of more than 50 deals and 15 new participants, including Homestead Miami Speedway, Ocean Force Adventures, Bobby’s Bike Hike, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and South Beach Chamber Ensemble. The program, from The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) , runs from now to May 31.  This two-month program invites both locals and visitors to delve into this vibrant destination with discounts, BOGO specials, and complimentary perks. 
Pueblito Viejo Colombian restaurant is pure fun, from the campy eye popping décor and Latin dancing to the two  comedians ,the “Paisa boys”. The menu is traditional comfort food, so it’s like traveling to Colombia. It all makes for a great time!
Wine bars  have really evolved from just being a place to enjoy a simple tasting, to extensive tastings with a strong educational element, rooms for private events, retail shop,  very good food, and even entertainment. Mix things up from your usual happy hour or evening out, and check out  our picks for the best wine bars in Miami.
