I sat down to write this letter, I realized that I’ve lived here (full time) now for almost ﬁve months and have only just begun to chip away at my Miami "must-experience" list.

In this issue, you’ll find dozens of experiences from that sacred list. From bars with magnificent views (and cocktails) to majestic gardens and architectural wonders, these pages are fi lled with ideas to create an unforgettable area itinerary. While there are plenty of obvious (and equally amazing) destinations to choose from, make sure to step off the beaten path to explore Little Havana (page 30), or head north to the quaint seaside town of Surfside (page 22). Wherever you end up, you’re sure to not only have a blast, but you’ll also encounter the remarkable color, flair and hospitality South Floridians are known for. See you out and about,

Art deco buildings have come to be as synonymous with Miami Beach as frosty cocktails and beach umbrellas.

Seen on everything from the opening credits of “Miami Vice” to the numerous postcards gracing every souvenir shop, the art deco buildings of Ocean Drive (and the surrounding area) have come to be as synonymous with Miami Beach as frosty cocktails and beach umbrellas. Over 800 art deco structures are found in South Beach alone, according to the National Register of Historic Buildings, making the main drags of Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue a parade of pastel and prewar flourishes. All of this was codified back in 1979 when a dedicated group of activists helped create The Miami Beach Architectural District (also known as Old Miami Beach Historic District and, the more popular name, Miami Art Deco District) and designated the area a U.S. historic district. (Pro tip: The Miami Design Preservation League hosts daily walking tours of the district.) And though Ocean Drive has become more commercial in the last few decades, several hotels have maintained their aesthetic integrity (and also their lawful obligation as part of a historic district) by restoring their facades and interiors to their former glory. The porthole windows, shiplike railings, sleek curves, glass blocks, shiny chrome and gleaming terrazzo floors transport us back to a time when Miami was developing its signature glamour and look.

And no trip to the area is complete without basking in the flamboyant-yet-futuristic beauty of art deco. Here are some of our favorite spots. Croatian architect Anton Skislewicz designed both the Breakwater and the Plymouth hotels in 1936 and 1940, respectively, with many of the stylistic qualities of art deco design—the strong lines, the emphasis on symmetry—but with a decidedly more modern and mysterious ambiance. While the Breakwater is known for its bright blue, orange and white neon sign that lights up Ocean Drive, the Plymouth is less flashy but striking nonetheless, with a massive blade of concrete that cuts through the center of the rounded facade. The Breakwater was restored in 2011 and remains an attraction for its aquariumstyle pool encased with glass, allowing guests the luxury of overlooking the hustle and bustle of Ocean Drive. The Plymouth reopened last year as a hip hideaway a few blocks from the beach, with an outpost of New York’s Blue Ribbon Sushi and a courtyard outfitted with classic checkered floors, pink-and-white cabanas and rose-colored lounge chairs tucked away between lush palm trees. The Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club in Miami Beach is slightly north of South Beach and taller than most deco towers of the era.

DECO DONE WELL (From top) The Plymouth Hotel still reads 1930s glamour; poolside at the property; a revamped guest room at the Breakwater Hotel. (Opposite) The Breakwater Hotel.

Originally designed by renowned art deco architect Roy France in 1940, the hotel’s design paid homage to a car—from the gray center peak that evoked a shiny hood ornament, to the cantilevered porte cochere resembling the hood of a car (that welcomed guests into the sweeping circular driveway), to the hotel’s signage in cursive italics that characterized speed and fluidity. The hotel will reopen in the spring of 2018 after a multimillion-dollar renovation spearheaded by interior-design firm Bill Rooney Studio. The makeover draws on the glamour and sophistication of the 1940s European Riviera. The property's lobby will keep its original terrazzo floors, lush greenery and wraparound mezzanine balcony overlooking the check-in and lounge area. New additions include an Italian trattoria, a beachside bungalow restaurant and a complete refurbishment of the 357 rooms. Farther up the beach, the Carillon Miami

Wellness Resort will be celebrating its 60th anniversary as a Miami Beach icon this year. The newly renovated resort is all about the "luxury of wellness," with a phenomenal spa, an enviable roster of recreational classes and an array of mental and spiritual resources (it helps that, up until recently, this was a Canyon Ranch). The hotel opened in 1958 and the following year was voted Miami Beach’s “Hotel of the Year." In fact, the chic resort often welcomed famous guests, hosted lavish parties and offered lively cabaret shows. While most of the hotel was gutted and renovated, some art deco vestiges remain from its heyday, including its famous neon sign at the top of its landmark facade. Locals, visitors and seasonal residents can take advantage of the resort's Spa & Beach Club via a three-tiered membership program which provides access to the property's fitness classes, pool and wellness lectures, as well as discounted services, valet, day passes and more.

Little Havana is a Miami must-see neighborhood.

DURING THE EARLY 1900S, Miami’s Little Havana community was lined with Mediterranean-style walk-up apartment buildings, wooden bungalows and mom-and-pop storefronts. The buildings made up the fabric of this diverse Latino community. And much of that fabric hasn’t changed, thanks to a loud group of preservationists and community activists. Little Havana is the city's melting pot. It has welcomed Latino immigrants looking for an affordable place to live among other Spanish speakers, as well as Bahamians, Jews and others. In 2015, the neighborhood was listed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. And in 2017, the Trust declared Little Havana a national treasure. “Little Havana is the ‘heart and soul’ of Miami and is considered a national treasure for its Latino culture, layered immigrant heritage and treelined streetscapes,” says Rob Nieweg, senior field director and attorney for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This centrally located neighborhood, where all major tourist buses stop, is a short drive from the airport, beaches and Downtown Miami. Its main commercial corridor, Calle Ocho (SW Eighth Street) is a one-way road and a topranked travel destination. With

demand sky-high for its charm and culture—thanks to historic landmarks like the Maximo Gomez Park, an outdoor domino park where Cuban exiles meet to discuss politics and smoke cigars—the neighborhood will soon welcome the Little Havana Museum. The neighborhood is attracting new businesses from an array of creative and business professionals--young and old. Besides the occasional fast-food chain, what you won’t find along Calle Ocho are major developments—no Starbucks, no Walmart, no Target, no high rises. Instead, you'll find quaint cafes, hipster bars, busy food trucks, local breweries and dance clubs inspired by the area's rich history. “Hopefully we have skirted a lot of the development pressures,” says Melissa Wyllie, executive director of the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation, one of six groups working to protect the area’s history.

WHERE IN MIAMI

 With mealprep subscription services on the rise, and our obsession with reality TV chef competitions intact, it’s no wonder Miami chefs are helping us elevate our amateur cooking status. Pictured above: Chef Richard Hales For more area cooking classes, head to wheretraveler.com.

WHE RE I M AY / J U N E 2018

ITK Take Florida’s culinary father, Norman Van Aken. The master chef just debuted In the Kitchen with Norman Van Aken (ITK), where aspiring chefs and obsessed foodies can learn how to cook like a pro and master prepping and cooking techniques. Located in Wynwood Arcade, ITK’s teaching kitchen offers over 200 lessons for people of all ages and levels. Learn more at inthekitchenmiami.com.

The Confidante There’s something totally tribal and utterly satisfying about catching your own meal. Our friends at the Confidante Hotel agree. The Miami Beach property’s newest package, Cook Your Catch, involves a boat fishing expedition with chef Richard Hales, followed by a dockside demo on how to filet the fish and dinner at Bird & Bone. Email sales. inquiries@theconfidantehotel.com to book.

Duffy’s Sports Grill Kids aren’t excluded from culinary fever. Each year, Duffy’s Foundation and the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida teach healthy cooking tips and tricks. This summer, classes will be held across two days, and Scouts will earn a Duffy’s Cooking Patch (along with the Girl Scouts USA Simple Meals Badge) and a custom Duffy’s apron and recipe cards. Learn more at duffysfoundation.com.
