A young girl writes on a snow-covered windshield on January 19, 1977, South Florida’s last snowfall.

Snow Day Thirty seven years ago this month, Miamians experienced a weather phenomenon they never thought they would. by judy deyoung

photography by andrew j. hickman/orlando sentinel

n the wee hours of January 19, 1977, weather analyst Jim Lushine noticed something unusual in the satellite pictures at the National Weather Service office in Coral Gables. “A fast-moving band of rain clouds from the Gulf of Mexico was barreling across South Florida at more than 55 miles per hour,” recalls the 69-year-old retired forecaster, during his midnight shift. With temperatures already near freezing from a Canadian cold front that had just passed through, he knew that the moisture moving in would set the stage for snow. “This is really going to happen,” he remembers thinking. “Weather history in the making!” By the time he left work at 4 am, the white stuff was flying. Snowflakes fell from Miami-Dade to West Palm Beach and as far south as Homestead—South Florida’s only snowfall on record in the 20th century. The rare event remains a special memory for those who witnessed it. “I looked closely at my windshield, and sure enough, there were white flakes,” recalls Albert G. Caruana, a 67-yearold lawyer who was driving south on I-95 at 8 am that morning. “Everybody began beeping their horns… waving, smiling… like a celebration of sorts.” Paul Frishman, who grew up in Kendall, was in the seventh grade at the time and remembers the special recess the teachers created that morning. “It was like a free-for-all. We were running around like crazy in this gigantic sports field, which was covered with snow,” recalls Frishman, 50, now COO of the Michael-Ann Russell JCC in North Miami Beach. By 9:30 am, the snow flurry was over. Could snowflakes fall again on the Magic City? Don’t hold your breath. As Lushine declares, “It’s probably a oncein-a-100-years event.” OD

“We’re gonna win the game. I guarantee it,” Joe Namath boldly proclaimed in the days leading up to Super Bowl III. Here, he lounges by the pool in Miami with press and adoring fans, on January 10, 1969.

Joe Cool

id “Broadway Joe” ever look happier than when he was surrounded by adoring fans and a gaggle of reporters and photographers? With a grin plastered on his face and reclining in a deck chair at the Galt Ocean Mile Hotel, Joe Namath hardly seems like a quarterback about to embark on one of the most important games of his career. As Sports Illustrated writer Tex Maule put it at the time, Namath “remind[ed] you a bit of Dean Martin in his relaxed confidence and in the droop of his heavy-lidded eyes.” This January 10, 1969, photo was taken just two days before Super Bowl III at the Orange Bowl, one of the biggest upsets in professional football history. Before the game, Namath was unfazed: “We’re a better team than Baltimore,” he quipped in between tanning sessions. And indeed, even though most sports aficionados were skeptical that New York could infiltrate the Baltimore Colts’ ironclad defense, the Jets defeated the opposition 16–7; Namath himself was named MVP. The image of the winning quarterback post-game raising one finger in the air to signal his supremacy has gone on to be one of the most indelible memories of Super Bowls past and present. Since that fateful January afternoon, Miami has been home to the big game another eight times, most recently in 2010. It’s not surprising that it’s become one of the most popular locales to host: Who wouldn’t want to play under sunny skies and in tropical temperatures? For many, this epic New York-Baltimore game may remain the greatest game to ever be played in the Sunshine State. OD

We do a lot of celebrating in this town.

From NBA championships to groundbreakings to, well, Friday nights at the VIP table in the club—there’s a lot of Champagne. Now, I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, and while most people say that, something about being in Miami leads me to believe that fulfilling a resolution might actually be easy. The whole point of resolutions is to better yourself, the world, the people and community around you. Isn’t that the reason for being in Miami in the first place, for something better? There’s nothing stopping us here. Better is a goal we strive for at Ocean Drive, as a team and magazine, month after month. Personally, however, it’s a task that pushes us beyond the ordinary, requiring that we always search for new ways to innovate. And after another momentous and absolutely astonishing Art Basel for the city of Miami, we see that nothing is impossible. Art and creativity flourish in this town. Efficiency, teamwork, and out-of-the-box thinking built and launched one of the country’s most talked-about museums with Pérez Art Museum Miami. If you want to give back, look no further than Michael Capponi and the Haiti Empowerment Mission, a charity born right here in Miami, or at the scores of other local charities and opportunities for making a difference both at home and globally. If you want to eat better, look better, feel better, live better, we have it all in Ocean Drive, and we have it all in Miami Beach. Yes, we all have so much going on that sometimes it’s hard to focus on improving ourselves and the lives of those around us. Much as it does for our January cover star, wife, new mom, and actress Jenna Dewan Tatum, life can get a little hectic. But there are amazing things happening here right now: new buildings, new neighborhoods, new ideas. Everyone’s coming, from the innovators to the creators, developers, investors, philanthropists.... even the stars, from athletes to actors—and they are all aspiring to greatness. If they’re doing it, so can you. Here’s to a fantastic 2014. May it be everything, and more, that 2013 was for me, Ocean Drive, and this town.

As the world rings in a New Year, toasting

new beginnings and lofty resolutions, we’re in the middle of a Champagne-popping high season. After all, we’ve had much to celebrate in 2013—and even more to look forward to in the next 12 months. To start, Ocean Drive is turning the page on its 21st year—an accomplishment almost unheard of in this transient town. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without the constant support of this city. Our success is really a testament to the great individuals, companies, and organizations that have made Miami what it is today—a highly soughtafter international destination that offers the best of everything. So this month, we’re offering you a fashionable look at actress Jenna Dewan Tatum, and we couldn’t be more excited about kicking off our 21st year with her fresh face on the cover. When not posing in our pages, you’ll find her leading Lifetime’s new show Witches of East End, as the immortal and captivating Freya Beauchamp—the thrilling drama has already been picked up for another season. As we embark on our anniversary, one resolution we have is to make 2014 even better. We’ll be surprised if Miami can top 2013, but we’re sure going to give it a shot. And really, we’ve always outdone ourselves anytime we’ve tried. I have no doubt that 2014 will be our best year yet. Hope to see you around town…

She has also written for Town & Country, InStyle, Glamour, and Vegas. She profiles our January cover star, Jenna Dewan Tatum, on page 172. Any stories from the interview that didn’t make it into the article? I asked

Jenna if she had to create a romance spell to carve out a little time for her and Channing, what would she mix into it? She said, “A warm bath, an empty house, a little bit of sugar, and a margarita.” What stood out to you most about her? How she manages to always prioritize family, no matter how crazy things get.

He currently works with fashion magazines, celebrities, and several publicity agencies. He splits his time between Miami and Buenos Aires. Coleman shot this issue’s fashion and fitness feature, on page 174. What are your favorite subjects to photograph? I love shooting people with

What’s the most surprising thing you learned about fitness? IV drips of

vitamins and minerals work in an extremely noticeable way. Favorite trendy workout? Kangaroo class! What subjects, besides

fitness, do you most enjoy writing about? I love reporting on the realms of

travel, technology, food, gambling, business, and culture.

He covers restaurants and design for Ocean Drive; here, he delves into The District, Miami’s newest bistro (page 151).

What are some must-order items at The District? Their bread—a soft, subtly sweet,

biscuit-like corn bread—is fantastic, and perfectly followed by the tart, salty ceviche of raw octopus, clams, and crab and the tuna-and-avocado tacos shelled in baked malanga. What contributed to Miami becoming a foodie’s paradise?

Miami’s cultural mélange comprises so many delicious flavors, it was only a matter of time until the restaurant scene began to fully reflect that.

Zoe Saldana takes in the South Beach nightlife at LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Suit and blouse, Lanvin. Shoes, Christian Louboutin.

s her latest movie, Out of the Furnace, opened in theaters across the country, actress Zoe Saldana posed for pictures on the red carpet at Niche Media’s private “Art of the Party” Art Basel event, which the Dominican beauty hosted. Effortlessly draped in a white-linen Lanvin pantsuit, the quintessential Miami outfit of choice, Saldana stepped into the party to a flurry of photographers and fans, each clamoring to witness the A-lister’s arrival. “It’s so beautiful here,” Saldana said of Miami and the house, a private estate on Miami Beach’s exclusive Hibiscus Island. Decked out in pieces from artist John Cox, the home transformed from luxury living space to inspired backdrop for the Art Basel-related exhibit. Accompanied by her husband, Marco Perego, Saldana enjoyed herself on the estate’s bayside terrace. The couple schmoozed with cohosts from Merrill Lynch and Baha Mar, and took in the view, an unobstructed panorama of Miami Beach’s skyline. “It’s nice to just be here and relax,” said Saldana, who has been working on her next project, Nina, about the legendary Nina Simone. Saldana’s respite continued after the party, as she and her hubby dined at Michael Mina’s new restaurant Mina 74 before kicking back at LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

The online mapping application had labeled the corner of Miami along Biscayne Boulevard now occupied by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, and just joined by the Pérez Art Museum Miami, as “Town Sq. Neighborhood.” “It’s official!” crows Richard, elated. “We’re literally on the map now!” It has been just over five years since Richard made the move to Miami to take the helm of the Arsht Center, after nearly two decades at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. At the time, the group of buildings that includes the 2,400-seat Ziff Ballet Opera House as well as the only slightly smaller John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall and the Carnival Studio Theater was struggling both to carve out an identity and create a public profile for itself in the city. The Cesar Pelli-designed complex clearly filled a need in Miami, offering organizations like the Florida Grand Opera a permanent home and giving touring Broadway shows and world-class orchestras a venue that was worthy of their talents. Miami had already embraced the visual arts, having hosted Art Basel Miami Beach since 2002. But the city’s same enthusiasm for the performing arts had lagged. In spite of the financial crisis and the real estate bust that followed, Richard has played a key role in broadening and deepening Miami’s reputation as not just a tourist destination but a North American cultural center. “When someone looks back on this period a century from now, they’ll see

a gigantic leap in the form of a young city embracing the arts and culture as the centerpiece of its DNA,” predicts Richard. “So far, the gap (between the visual and performing arts) that exists hasn’t been in the quality of what has been available, but in the quantity.” And that is precisely what Richard has made it his mission to change, as president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. Named in honor of Arsht—a lawyer and former chair of her family-owned bank, TotalBank, who has emerged as one of the country’s biggest performing arts philanthropists—the center was finally opened in 2006 after decades of discussion and planning. Now the complex of theaters and an outdoor performance space hosts more than 300 events annually, ranging from acclaimed dramas like War Horse to performances by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields with violinist Joshua Bell. But the offerings are a more intriguing mix than the headline events would suggest, with local playwright Michael McKeever premiering his satire Clark Gable Slept Here at the studio theater and the Arsht Center welcoming back the Haitian dance troupe Ayikodans. A big part of Richard’s approach to building audiences in Miami has been to emphasize local ties like this, showcasing works by area artists or those with links to the city’s diverse community. “Miami is a very diverse city, full of people who are reinventing the American ethos, and we want to be sure we’re programming in such a way as to reach that audience,” he explains. These have included offering free tickets to events like a “Tweet Up” by Cuban continued on page 90

CURTAIN CALL When the stage goes dark, John Richard’s lights turn on. After hours? “When I get the time, I like to check out what the New World Symphony is doing in its new concert hall home. And for more casual stuff, it’s fun to stop by Tobacco Road (Miami’s oldest bar, now a century old).”

Favorite places to eat? “Miami is a food-lover’s paradise! But I’m more likely to be out for brunch than dinner. My wife and I love to have lunch on Saturdays at Garcia’s Seafood Grille, right on the Miami River, which has amazing fried shrimp sandwiches and, if you want to be fancy, some fabulous paella.”

Free time? “We head straight for the takeout section at Joe’s Stone Crab, because whatever we order is going to be the best of its kind we’ve ever tasted. And it gets eaten on the balcony of the condo (in Brickell), gazing out at the view of Key Biscayne.”

continued from page 89 dissident Yoani Sánchez on the studio theater’s stage, as well as a poetry reading and Q&A with Richard Blanco, the Miami poet who burst onto the national scene when he was selected as the inaugural poet for President Barack Obama’s second swearing-in last January. Blanco’s reading of his inaugural poem, “One Today,” marked the first time a Hispanic poet or an openly gay poet received this honor; at 44, he was also the youngest. Locally, the Arsht Center works with the Miami-Dade public school system, bringing every fifth grader to see a performance of a rock opera based on Homer’s Odyssey. The partnerships also extend beyond Miami’s borders, as the Haitian dance company Ayikodans was able to rebuild its Port-au-Prince studio thanks to contributions and donations from Miami’s arts community, led by the Arsht and Richard himself. With Pelli’s award-winning design, he has a world-class venue to offer, but the fact that it’s so new also means he doesn’t have to battle an entrenched artistic elite when it comes to programming or partnerships. “I feel no restraint in Miami; rather, I’m being encouraged to swing wide, and that’s what makes an arts institution exciting and makes it a destination,” Richard says. “Coming from the Northeast, what really struck me is how socially open Miami is, how straightforward it has been to become part of the arts community. It’s all about, ‘Let’s see what you’ve got’; there’s no subtext.” Even the audiences are different, Richard has noticed. “There is this happiness and delight about being part of an occasion, part of the cultural flow that I haven’t seen anywhere else,” he says. Richard is still grappling with some of the challenges that flow from that unique character, of course. For instance, Miami’s concert- and theater-goers tend to be spontaneous, meaning that more than a third of the Arsht Center’s seats are snapped up at the last minute, and culture vultures will sometimes queue up to buy full-priced tickets at 8:20 PM for an event that already started at 8 PM. “I’ve had to start sending our advance purchasers traffic tips to help them arrive on time, as well as reminders about curtain times, to create more of a sense of ‘curtain etiquette’ here,” so that Miami doesn’t become known as the capital city of latecomer seating. Richard is dreaming on an even larger scale. He would love to expand the public school program to include students in other grades and different projects—and perhaps even play a role in creating a performing arts school in Miami. Meanwhile, after spending most of his life in the Northeast, the 61-year-old is happy to call Florida home. “This is a young and vibrant city, with an exciting aesthetic,” Richard says, noting that his daughter has opted to pursue her graduate studies and build a life in Miami. “She recently told me, ‘Dad, we get to live where other people come on vacation,’ and she’s right. It’s a beautiful place to wake up every morning.” OD

Jacobs gets a kick out of tossing his chef friends together with diners ready to share their thoughts with the people who just created their meals. This kind of foodie freestyle environment makes sense considering Jacobs’s culinary background. He first fell in love with food at age 6, when eating his grandmother’s daily feinkochen (a thin Jewish omelet). “I would get to make the egg with her after a while,” he says, “then she and I would sit and watch Julia Child. That’s the first time I thought, Oh, this is kinda cool.” By age 10, Jacobs was helping Favorite local fish to out in the kitchen of his father’s catering busicatch: Strawberry ness (he actually catered his own bar grouper, mahi mahi. mitzvah—a selection of spring rolls, vegetable Favorite Miami sushi, and twice-cooked chicken), and at a restaurants: later event witnessed customers’ adoration Pubbelly Sushi and for his dad. “Everyone was standing up Garcia’s Seafood applauding him for the meal they just had.

Later that year, he was catering for Adrienne Arsht at her Key Biscayne home, then became executive chef at Tantra Restaurant and Lounge in its late-’90s heyday. Catering and personal-chef work followed, including providing food for the Miami Heat. Today, through his Strategic Hospitality Group Miami, he caters, acts as a personal chef to Miami VIPs and professional athletes, and consults for restaurants coming to Miami. When LeBron James and Chris Bosh committed to the Heat, Jacobs coached their personal chefs on the ins and outs of sourcing good food in Miami. He has fed the Heat for the past four seasons, where Wade’s favorite meal was the breakfast burrito with turkey, scrambled eggs, low-fat Cheddar, and chopped tomato topped with healthy barbecue sauce.

Hitting the Right Key Isabella Acker and Whitney Lykins are the creative forces behind The Black Key Group, a music marketing partnership pushing Miami’s emerging music scene to new octaves. by julia ford-carther

ast year, Miami witnessed a bump in innovative live-music initiatives, including the III Points Festival in Wynwood, Woody Stock in Coconut Grove, and Art Basel’s Pop-Up Piano Miami, which, now in its third year, attracted a partnership with mega Miami development firm The Related Group. With a hand in all three events—and countless more—The Black Key Group is reshaping a local music landscape that typically caters to club-banging DJ imports over the city’s live music culture. At the helm stand Isabella Acker and Whitney Lykins, two impassioned pioneers looking to bring Miami’s budding indie offerings to the main stage. TBKG takes a grassroots, ground-floor approach to Miami’s live-music maze and has developed an acute eye for how to improve the business of band appeal, citing a variety of challenges from a lack of audience curiosity to decentralized live venues, says Acker. “One of the biggest reasons we started was we [were] going to a lot of music events and the bands were awesome, but we went to look them up online and everything from their branding to their logos was awful,” Lykins explains. The pair cherishes a long history, having shared an eighth-grade classroom in Atlanta before moving down to Florida for college, where they seamlessly assimilated into Miami life. Acker got her entertainment marketing start with

nightlife management house The Opium Group, while Lykins’s background in fashion styling for music scenesters helped her grow a strong local network. Shortly thereafter, TBKG seemed a natural evolution. As Acker and Lykins talk about Miami’s music scene and rich talent pool with a contagious fervor, it’s hard not to be swept up in the cadence of their conversations. In fact, it’s how they land clients. For them, “no pitch is too big,” says Acker, and they take their message straight to the top at companies like Sony and The Recording Academy. They’ve struck a chord. Today, the company handles local-grown, nationally known singer-songwriter Cris Cab (his collaborators include Pharrell Williams, Wyclef Jean, and Big Sean), and last fall, TBKG inked a deal with concert-promotions company Live Nation to be its exclusive local promotional arm. TBKG now produces backstage coverage, on-camera interviews, and social media content surrounding Live Nation acts in South Florida, such as John Legend and Jessie Ware. Fostering these types of partnerships will continue to revolutionize the terrain. “If we link brand[s] and the band, there could be a really vibrant scene funded by huge marketing dollars. [Bands want] to come to Miami. The bands and the musicians are here,” says Acker. Adds Lykins, “People are starting to become more curious about Miami and the scene. We’re a part of a really big change.” theblackkeygroup.com OD

Game Changers Family is always top of mind for Dan and Claire Marino. Here, they discuss the decisions that led to the latest step in their 22-year quest to make a difference in the battle against autism. by laurie brookins

ou miss those Sundays, don’t you? Miami Dolphins fans often greet with disbelief the idea that it’s been 14 years since we watched Dan Marino pace along the sideline, itching to get onto the field to either protect a lead or engineer a fourth-quarter comeback. Seventeen seasons of Sundays, thanks to his lightning-quick right arm, were nothing less than dazzling. These days are somewhat different for the Hall of Famer and wife Claire, who celebrate their 29th anniversary on January 30: His travel schedule isn’t quite as hectic (during football season, she often accompanies him from their Weston home to New York each weekend for his work as a CBS Sports studio analyst), but an equity partnership in Anthony’s Coal-Fired Pizza chain, a wine collaboration with fellow former Dolphin Damon Huard, and longtime spokesperson gigs with Levinson Jewelers and Nutrisystem keep Marino’s schedule far from idle. But it’s another project that currently ranks top of mind for them both. On a Monday afternoon in dan marino October, the couple was inspecting the empty, freshly painted classrooms of the Marino Campus in Fort Lauderdale, which opens its doors this month as a resource for young adults age 18 to 28 with disabilities, a school where they may develop life and vocational skills. “Place looks good,” Dan says, coffee in hand. “I can’t wait to see it filled with kids,” Claire adds. The campus is the latest layer in the work at the heart of Marino’s eponymous foundation, which the couple created in 1992 after their second-oldest son, Michael, was diagnosed with autism (the Marinos have six children, ages 17 to 27). Now 25, Michael was almost 3 years old when the Marinos continued on page 100

t’s a cold, dark autumn afternoon on the patio of Miami’s Zuma, as the wind rushes through the palm trees and waves of an angry Miami River crash against the river walls. Rain is imminent. Once you’ve been here long enough, you know this isn’t the best Miami has to offer. “Isn’t it beautiful?” asks Zuma General Manager Gregory Polino, in a thick French accent. Having recently moved here from New York City, he’s being serious: It is beautiful. When you are as happy as Polino to be working at a restaurant with what he calls “the best food on earth,” in a city he says is his “favorite city in the world,” it’s always beautiful outside.

He trained for six weeks in London, doing every job on the floor before he started in Miami—an unmatched training program that Polino respects. Now that he’s the leader, he and Executive Chef Michael Lewis are constantly doing team-building events like banana boat rides at the beach or cocktails with the staff, creating bonds he says his boss, Becker, would appreciate. “He’s all about people,” says Polino. “He’s all about making sure people have a good work-life balance but also making sure his guests at Zuma have a wonderful and memorable experience.” Polino’s happiness is evident from the moment you meet him. The passion that he so nearly lost in New York is back in a beautiful way. He and his wife moved into his first house in Kendall, and now have a daughter and plan to have a third child next year. At Zuma and in Miami, Polino is at home, and even on the cloudiest of days he can find the ray of sunshine, because he truly loves this city. “I have goose bumps when I speak about it,” he says. “Miami is my city for life.” OD

Polino is discovering new pleasures in his adopted city. Among them: sipping Chili Passion martinis at The Setai Pool & Beach Bar and café con leches at Larios on the Beach. He also loves the architecture of Vizcaya and, of course, the energy of Miami Heat games. In a rare moment of free time, he hits the spa at Canyon Ranch or spends the day relaxing at the beach. “I love jet skiing,” he says. “I was born by the sea, so I have always been someone who is breathing the ocean. I am just so thrilled about Miami. The people, the sun, the way of life—it’s modern, it’s easy, it’s more laid back.”

After working under the acclaimed Alain Ducasse at both Le Louis XV at the Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo and Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée in Paris, he spent some time in Miami before ending up in New York as a career move. “I fell in love with New York and the city,” Polino says. “It’s just incredible, the energy and the people. But New York is tough. It’s all about following the rules. You cannot be yourself. You almost lose your passion.” While there, Polino and his then-fiancée, a ColombianAmerican woman whose family lives in Miami, welcomed a son. It was a defining moment for Polino. “[But] New York is not a city for families. It’s a city for young couples.” After a stint with the Conrad New York hotel and a wedding at the Biltmore that reminded him how much he missed Miami, he decided to look for a job here. He landed an interview with Zuma founder Rainer Becker in London, sold himself based on his love of people and the city, and in May 2013 landed what is certainly one of the best GM gigs in town. Polino brought with him a New York work ethic, spending six days a week at Zuma, often working until the last customer leaves, around 2 am, and answering e-mails and text messages around the clock. “My wife cannot stand my iPhone anymore,” he says. Polino has noticed a shift in his management style since adapting to Miami’s ways. “In New York, you tell people what to do and it gets done,” he says. “People in Miami need love and support.” But maybe that’s a good thing. “I walk into the restaurant every day and say hi to everyone and how are you, how was your night, how is your family?

Building a Foundation O

n January 12, 2010, an earthquake devastated Haiti. Add to that a history of corruption, recent outbreaks of cholera, and a 2012 tropical storm, and parts of the country have become an ecological and economic disaster. Florida developer Michael Capponi took his first trip to Haiti to help the victims just after the earthquake; in 2011 he started his own nonprofit, called the Haiti Empowerment Mission, which provides the citizens of Haiti with the tools and education to break free from dependency. Here, Capponi tells Ocean Drive how he’s helping to rebuild the country, and a small coastal town called Jacmel: What’s the meaning of the Haiti Empowerment Mission? Michael Capponi: Haiti is a very complex situation where, for hundreds

of years, they’ve never really had an opportunity to learn how to be independent, so it’s been a nation very dependent on foreign aid. I wanted to create a situation where we could empower the people of Haiti by teaching them. It could be anything from harvesting coffee to making jewelry to putting the children in a private school, or just teaching the residents about working at a hotel. So it’s to empower people to become self-sustaining. We put a lot of them in a hospitality school. The more I went to Haiti, I started understanding the problem was a lot bigger than a large group of people who lost their homes in an earthquake and just needed to be put back in their homes. What kept drawing you back to Haiti after you went for the first time? continued on page 108

“ We were at times dealing with 3,500 people, putting them in tents, getting them food and water, giving them medical supplies.” —michael capponi continued from page 106 I started the Haiti Empowerment Mission in 2011. Many emergency missions have great intentions, but they end at some point. But what do you do after that? We saw the worst human conditions that we ever have and we did what we could, but when we came back home, it was like, do you either pat yourself on the back because you know you were in Haiti for five days after the earthquake, or do you actually go back the next week and help the people you just abandoned? When you come back the second week, do you go back a third time? So the responsibility grows on you. We put a program together that trains people to get jobs and get back on their feet. How did the HEM start? Was there early help from people in Miami? It all started when commissioners here allowed me to take Miami Beach fire department guys to Haiti several days after the earthquake. We were at times dealing with 3,500 people through our group, putting them in tents, getting them food and water, giving them medical supplies. There’s really not a lot you can do in one trip. The first year, I think I took 18 trips just basically trying to manage a makeshift camp we had set up. Former [US Ambassador to Belgium] Paul Cejas rented us a full-size plane to get there. But we didn’t

have a ride back and we were stuck there. I e-mailed [film director] Michael Bay and I said, “Please send us your jet, we’ve got to get out of here.” I had renovated his house recently. So he sent his plane filled with medical supplies, dropped them off, and then he took us back. People like that in Miami are really able to pitch in on a moment’s notice. After the earthquake, what were these people supposed to do, moving forward, and how could they? After about a year, we started asking some of the people down in Haiti, “Are you interested in having a future? Would you like to go to the coastline, Jacmel, and learn about tourism? We’ll put your kids in private school.” Jacmel, in the time of Napoleon, was called the pearl of the Caribbean. It was one of the biggest stopping ports in the early 1800s. You revitalize this place and you attract tourism, and you could turn the whole country around. That’s when it became what our mission statement is all about, to empower. Those people who moved from a tent city to a temporary village—which was made of durable, recyclable materials—they stayed in that village for about a year. And then a tropical storm came and leveled that whole village. So we put the people back in permanent homes immediately. The foundation pays the rents for these people for one year at a time, and in exchange all of the kids have to go to school and the parents have to go out and look for jobs. So we would just pay their rents, and that way we could hold the family accountable—we’re not going to pay rent next year unless your kid is in school every day and unless you do something with your life. It must feel good to be making such a difference so quickly. continued on page 110

continued from page 108 Our foundation is a very small charity and certainly isn’t going to take any credit for changing the whole country. But what it can do is that out of all of the people we sponsor, maybe five or 10 of those kids can become real leaders one day. Economics and social issues are a huge problem, but the environment has taken such a hit as well. There are also the ecological problems. There is so much deforestation. So many trees have been cut down and exported. That’s created some major ecological messes. There’s a river in Jacmel that back in the day would flow like a waterfall in Hawaii; it would empty out and the bay would be like blue water. Now that river picks up all of the trash from Port-auPrince and it all spits out into the bay —michael capponi of Jacmel. So it’s disgusting and it spreads disease. There’s still so much to be done, but you’ve really already impacted so many lives. These are my people. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I walked away from them. My job is to see that all of those kids end up, in the worst-case scenario, being hotel managers when they graduate from high school. We’ve already started to arrange college scholarships for some of the students, sponsored by specific people who live in Aspen and South Beach. So when that student graduates high school, he’ll go to college in the United States. But he signs a contract here that he’s going to go back to Haiti. The whole point of it is that they’ll come back to Jacmel extremely educated. haitiempowermentmission.org OD

Lasers in action at last year’s ISAF Sailing World Cup out on Biscayne Bay.

he Games of the 31st Olympiad, set for Rio de Janeiro in August 2016, are around 900 days away, but the athletes who will be on the quest for gold and national glory aren’t sitting around binge-watching Breaking Bad—the training for the Olympics is a full-time career, and sailing has a long series of competitions and time trials before anybody gets to Brazil. One of them begins at the end of this month, when about 500 athletes, both men and women from up to 40 countries, descend on Miami and test their skills in the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Sailing World Cup regatta, from January 25 to February 1. It’s the third of five ISAF regattas this year around the world and the only one held in North America. Gary Bodie, 58, is cochairman of the regatta and was for 10 years the head coach of the US sailing team, which during his tenure won eight Olympic medals, including a gold and silver at his last Games at Beijing in 2008.

When the average person hears the word “regatta,” the first image that comes to mind is the big boats of the America’s Cup races.... Olympic sailing is smaller boats, one or two people in each boat. The athletic part of smaller boats is stronger, and it’s a different kind of athleticism than you see in the America’s Cup. But Ben Ainslie, the British multiple medalist who was on [the winning] Oracle [America’s Cup team], sailed Miami every year for seven or eight years. That’s the level that comes to Miami from around the world. The sailors all look like Tour de France riders: long, lean, and muscular. You’re accurate with your description. There are 10 different classes of Olympic sailing, and depending on the size of the sailor, the weight of the boat, and —Gary Bodie other technical factors, it tends to typecast a body form. Actually, many sailors cross-train on bicycles because that helps give you the leg strength that’s important in sailing. This regatta lasts eight days. How is it structured? Everybody races Monday through Friday, two or three races a day, depending on the class. The top 10 scorers in each class advance to Saturday’s medal race. What makes Miami a good place for sailing competitions? The same thing that makes it a great winter destination: It’s warm, it’s sunny, the breeze blows pretty reliably. Biscayne Bay is relatively protected, so you don’t have big ocean [waves] and you generally don’t have raging winter storms. It’s not the most challenging place, but it’s a really good place to sail. Miami is the winter home of the US team, and a number of other countries come to set up shop for a month to six weeks when it’s too cold in Europe. Where’s the best place to watch? Rickenbacker Causeway, to Hobie Beach, the windsurfing beach, is the best vantage place from shore. The boats compete right there on the south side of the causeway. Or if you own a boat and you want to get close up, you can just come out on the water. January 25–February 1 in Biscayne Bay.

lot of people think that I have glitter dust on me for having been in the presence of greatness,” laughs Miami Beach expat Lynn Goldsmith. “People go, ‘Oh, you were on the road with Bob Marley, with the Rolling Stones!’ It’s not the fabulous place people think it is.” The proof of a more complex rock reality lies within the pages of Goldsmith’s Rock and Roll Stories, a new collection of sumptuous images detailing her work as a music industry photographer over the past four decades—capturing an array of pop stars both on- and offstage, in controlled settings as well as in revealing, impromptu moments. Many of these images have become deservedly iconic—Goldsmith’s work appears on the covers of seminal albums from Patti Smith’s Easter to Frank Zappa’s Sheik Yerbouti, as well as in publications from Rolling Stone to Newsweek. Yet the true power of Rock and Roll Stories is in its willingness to pull back the camera lens, zoom out, and show us the business side of the music biz. It is, as Goldsmith insists, often anything but fabulous. Indeed, what emerges is a portrait of repetitive drudgery, long stretches of continued on page 120

continued from page 118 hurry-up-and-wait inside gloomy rooms within the bowels of anonymous theaters and arenas. Here’s Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde, there’s Police frontman Sting, each grimly contemplating their bare lightbulb-lit surroundings and platters of cold food. If it’s Tuesday, it must be Toledo…. Goldsmith also isn’t shy in her book about dishing on the bizarre behavior of many musicians, a product of their bubble-like existence, whether it’s Prince petulantly refusing to speak, and then bolting from his own photo shoot (twice!), or James Brown nearly causing his dangerously overloaded tour plane to crash. “To be able to go into worlds where people think their world is the whole world is very intense and exciting—for five minutes,” Goldsmith quips. “And then I want to go somewhere else.” Her sense of wanderlust came early. As a teenager at Miami Beach Senior High School in the early ’60s, Goldsmith was already trekking to Coconut Grove to perform as a folksinger in that burg’s coffeehouses. By 1965, as a freshman attending the University of Michigan, she was palling around with kindred restless spirit and fellow student Iggy Pop (still Jim Osterberg, as far as the school’s registrar was concerned), and itching to explore the various countercultural scenes unfolding on either coast. Photography was less a conscious career choice

120

than a “passport,” Goldsmith writes: “It was my way into people’s lives, into places that I otherwise might never see…. Musicians were the dominant subject matter because it felt like I was simply hanging out with my friends, my family.” These days, Goldsmith divides her time between New York City and Aspen, with occasional visits to her old Beach stomping grounds. And she’s as apt to shoot for herself as for a corporate client. But it’s precisely that sense of distance which brings a historical sweep to Rock and Roll Stories. Shots of teen idol David Cassidy in 1972, juxtaposed with heartthrob Marky Mark in 1992, offer insight into why only the latter was able to reinvent himself for an older audience; an early ’80s diptych of gruff British punk rocker Joe Strummer and the poster boy for laid-back Californian empathy, Jackson Browne, is no less striking in finding the earnest commonality between the two singers. “Some photographers want jobs where they’re hired to do exactly their thing,” Goldsmith explains. “You can easily recognize their style, or they’ll only shoot people like Patti Smith and Bob Dylan, the ‘true singer-songwriter poets.’ They would never photograph ‘N Sync or New Kids on the Block. I’m all over the place because I think I can learn from everybody, and that’s the whole point of having a camera. It’s just a tool to learn things.” E-mail: brett@oceandrive.com OD

Mad Men of Cuba

Meet Ricardo Arregui—Havana’s real-world 1950s answer to Don Draper and the ad business. by brett sokol

“Y

ou have to know what the average person is thinking,” explains Ricardo Arregui, cofounder of Fergo-Arregui Advertising, one of Cuba’s largest ad agencies during its pre-revolutionary heyday. If that vintage milieu invokes a subtropical take on Mad Men, with sleekly suited executives behind the wheel of shark-finned Cadillacs, the truth isn’t far off. Perusing Arregui’s business archives—now donated to and on display at the University of Miami’s Cuban Heritage Collection— reveals photos of Arregui cutting a Don Draper-esque figure, all alongside artwork for eye-grabbing ad campaigns. However, the archive doesn’t end in 1959 with Fidel Castro’s rise to power and the subsequent end of nonstate advertising on the island. Resettling in Miami in 1961, Arregui and his brother launched Arregui International Advertising—South Florida’s first Latino-focused ad agency. The methodology remained the same: “It

doesn’t matter how good the creative department is if you haven’t done your research,” Arregui insists. Case in point: His ’50s Cuban campaign for Materva soda. Materva’s market share was plummeting and its execs came to Arregui in a panic. Arregui eventually discovered the reason by ordering a bottle of Materva himself: His bartender warned him that his drink of choice would put a serious crimp in his nighttime bedroom performance. Who knew how this urban legend started, but Arregui had the solution—a fresh ad that all but screamed of Materva’s Viagra-like properties, featuring a virile imbiber flanked by two of the Tropicana nightclub’s most alluring showgirls. The results? Gangbuster sales. “You have to listen to the street,” Arregui says proudly. The Ricardo Arregui archive is on display at the University of Miami’s Cuban Heritage Collection.

photography by gregg delman (dresses, sketches)

t’s rare for designers these days to be self-made, relying on no industry connections or contacts, but Gustavo Cadile has done it. The Argentinaborn Cadile moved to Miami more than 20 years ago, and launched his career and a name for himself. Today, celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Giuliana Rancic, and Diane Lane flock to his red-carpet-friendly designs, which are known for their bold colors, flattering cuts, and intricate embellishments. Cadile’s collection, relaunched in 2012 as Memeka by Gustavo Cadile in honor of his mother, was heavily influenced this season by the Mediterranean. “It was inspired by St-Tropez and all the architecture in the town,” he explains. “It’s inspired by the frescos and the colors of the city, and the turquoises and royal blues from the ocean.” He also, naturally, finds inspiration in the city where he cut his fashion teeth. “My first job in Miami was working at Neiman Marcus [at Bal Harbour Shops], in the couture department. During my lunches I was sketching all the time, so the manager for the department introduced me to the school [Miami International University of Art & Design].” Cadile got his first break the old-fashioned way— through sheer persistence. “When I was doing my first collection, I saw Eva Longoria and tried to Google her because she’s Latin,” he says. “I thought she was someone who could represent my dresses well. I kept trying to find out how to contact her. By coincidence I found her publicist’s e-mail and sent an e-mail to her, half in Spanish and half in English, and I said I would love to dress Eva. I sent that e-mail at 6 pm. I got an e-mail back at 6:05 pm saying they wanted to introduce me to her stylist.” One of Cadile’s From there, the dresses spoke for red-carpetthemselves, and Longoria became ready gowns.

“ I love Latina women and how my dresses adapt to their bodies.” —gustavo cadile a devotee, wearing Cadile’s designs to numerous events including the ALMA Awards. Cadile, who has a heavy presence in the Latin community both on and off the red carpet, thinks about the Latina woman constantly when designing. “I love Latina women and how my dresses adapt to their bodies,” he says. “I think my dresses are made by the bodies of Latina, and specifically Miami, women. I love bright colors! I have something very Latin in me that I try to represent in my designs. [I design] for the women that shop at Bal Harbour Shops or the girls that go to Merrick Park, the women who feel admired and want to show off a great figure.” Cadile spends as much time as possible in the Magic City. “I love Miami very much. It’s a great city. I try to go very often because it’s a great place to get back your energy,” he says. “I love to go to the beach and see the ocean, and go to The Setai. I like to walk [along] Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road. I have many friends in Miami, so every time I go, I really enjoy myself. One of the things I love best is the weather. It’s warm all the time, so it makes everybody smile and be happy.” While at his alma mater this past fall, Cadile received the Fashion Achievement Award from Fashion Group International. (He had also been nominated for FGI’s Rising Star Award in 2008 and 2009.) “To accept this award in Miami was very important to me because I am sharing this award with everyone who helped and supported me in Miami,” the designer says.

Plenty of Plein Brooke Soffer of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach shares with us her one must-have to kick off 2014. by lauren finney

rooke Soffer, vice president of corporate retail for the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, has been in the retail game for nearly two decades as part of a legacy of a Miami family known for its business savvy and style. Last month, Soffer opened the first US Philipp Plein boutique, at Aventura Mall, and naturally she chose a beautiful clutch from the brand as her one must-have item for the start of 2014. “We have had an amazing response from our customers who shop at the Fontainebleau’s Ida and Harry,” she says. “Philipp Plein is fun, versatile, and always makes a statement. I’d wear this clutch out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, such as the newly opened Michael Mina 74—it gives me one more spot to dress up for!” The clutch ($2,125), which is embossed metallic leather and adorned with rhinestone snakes, is something Soffer foresees as being a staple in her wardrobe. “I tend to dress very simple and cleanly, so this clutch would jazz things up a bit,” she says. “I’d pair it with jeans or a simple dress.” The Swiss brand, known for its signature skulls and energetic vibe, has a “unique and recognizable look that is very Miami. I’m really looking forward to sharing the brand with our local and international shoppers.” OD

Eco-ture Sustainable fashion has made serious strides locally and nationally. by lauren finney

ith trends embracing more eco-friendly fabrics and production processes in general, many in the fashion industry, both in Miami and beyond, are taking a greener approach to their businesses. Dawn Oliver of locally based yogawear company Yogiiza (1819 West Ave., Bay 2, Miami Beach, 305-397-8930; yogiiza.com) is committed to sourcing cottons, fabrics, and sewing in America, where they can personally verify standards and keep a lower carbon footprint. She sees Yogiiza as more of a lifestyle than just a clothing line. “We set ourselves as an example and resource [of] a healthy yoga lifestyle,” she says. Adds Stacy Josloff, designer of swimwear line Inca (Pure Therapy, W Hotel South Beach, 2201 Collins Ave., 305-938-3148; theincacollection.com), “One of the biggest reasons anyone lives in Miami is the ability to live outdoors year-round. Miami’s hot summers and mild winters make wearing eco-friendly fashion so much more realistic than colder environments. We’re lucky textiles like organic cotton, silk, and linen work here any time of year.” Along similar lines is another development that has been gaining traction with designers and customers alike, she notes. “Now, even if someone is not vegan, they may be buying brands that are because the quality and style are on par with any premier designer,” Josloff says. At the forefront, Stella McCartney (Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-864-2218; stellamccartney.com), a longtime champion of using sustainable materials and practices in her apparel and accessories, debuts a newly expanded 100 percent organic cotton denim line this year, as well as her newest eco faux nappa bag, the Beckett. Joshua Katcher’s Brave GentleMan (bravegentleman.com), meanwhile, uses animal-free Italian “future leathers,” which are durable, supple, and biodegradable. Cottons are organic and domestically milled and dyed, and the brand strives to use sustainable materials and production methods. Says Katcher, who presented his first live presentation for Spring 2014 at fashion week in New York, “Veganism has really reached an exciting place. The most innovative and visionary developments in food and textiles are happening in the realm of veganism. Many vegan businesses are setting standards that are now superior to the mainstream counterparts.” OD

Round the Corner Miami women are choosing the handsome yet feminine cushion watch this season. by roberta naas photography by jeff crawford

iami is doing a double take when it comes to cushion-shaped watches for women. They compliment stylish wrists with their subtly round-cornered square cases and inner round dials that are built by masterly makers. These watches have a bold appeal that is gently softened by their more circular silhouette. Luxury brands such as Glashütte Original, Patek Philippe, and Carl F. Bucherer are looking to their archives for inspiration and coming up with delightful renditions of this curious contour that deftly blend the past with the present for timeless classics. Patek Philippe based its Gondolo timepieces on watches the brand built for Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau at the beginning of the 20th century, while Glashütte Original looked to the 1920s in its designs for the Pavonina line, which celebrates the important role of women in modern society. For more watch features and expanded coverage, go to oceandrive.com/watches. OD

From Glashütte Original, this new Pavonina watch ($24,600) is styled after a 1920s piece. Crafted in 18k red gold and set with 114 diamonds on the case, it features a domed, antireflective sapphire crystal and manufacturemade mocha-colored enamel dial set with 98 diamonds.

Food With A View steps from Wynwood’s art scene and the glamorous Design District, Buena Vista’s newest addition, The District, presents the art of food. by jordan melnick

this issue: new discoveries

ying 13 feet above sea level, a lofty perch in flat Miami, historic Buena Vista got its name from the “good view” of Biscayne Bay its early residents enjoyed. A new restaurant in the neighborhood now aims to give its customers an equally satisfying glimpse of Miami’s internationally influenced culinary landscape. Dubbed The District by managing partner Alexander Ringleb, the restaurant fuses PanAmerican flavors in a menu crafted by Executive Chef Horacio Rivadero, named Best New Chef for the Gulf Region by Food & Wine magazine in 2012. The meal starts with a plate of soft, subtly sweet, biscuit-like corn bread, served warm in a napkin repurposed as a pouch. From there, highlights include Vuelve a la Vida, a perfectly tart continued on page 152

That idea imbues The District’s three-part menu. After the Antojos, there’s the “Around the Table” section, a selection of small plates that ranges from light—a salad of roasted beets and pickled raspberries (both from Orlando) garnished with goat cheese mousse—to the hearty Boxer, a luscious but subtle pork belly dish. The District’s entrées carry on Ringleb’s homey intentions while reflecting Rivadero’s passion for the flavors of the Americas. The cobia has a coating of Caribbean jerk adobo rub, and the lamb ribs are drizzled with smoked pomegranate sauce. The humblest entrée of all, The District Burger, puts the “America” in a PanAmerican menu with a prime Angus patty, a thick slice of bacon, grilled onions, and heirloom tomatoes—even the melted Brie is from Vermont. Its food and décor combine to make The District a good fit for a rising restaurant scene. It’s located next door to the delicious and decidedly relaxed Buena —Alexander Ringleb Vista Deli and around the corner from Greek restaurant Mandolin Aegean Bistro, Asian bistro Shokudo, Italian eatery Lemoni Café, and Buena Vista Bistro, one of the neighborhood’s culinary pioneers. “Overall Miami is becoming a restaurant town with so much diversity,” says Ringleb, who picked Buena Vista because “it gives you the feel of getting out of town, [without] the big towers and stress—a relaxed, laidback place.” Ringleb and Rivadero are betting The District and its offerings—both ambience and culinary—will earn them a place in the neighborhood’s promising future. 190 NE 46th St., Miami, 305-5734199; thedistrictmiami.com OD

continued from page 151 and salted dish of raw octopus, clams, and crab, one of three ceviche options. The tuna tacos, in shells of baked malanga and served with creamy chunks of avocado, are another treat off the “Antojos” section of the menu. “That’s a huge seller because many people like to eat tacos, but they have problems with gluten,” explains Rivadero. “So we make them with the [gluten-free] malanga shells.” This accommodating approach stems from a desire to make The District Miami a regular stop for locals. The wood-slat walls, brick columns, tuftedleather booths, and concrete floors combine for a casually hip atmosphere with a masculinity softened by constellation-like chandeliers, curvy white chairs, and vivid floral arrangements. Above it all is The District’s standout feature, a mixed-media ceiling installation by artist Juan Rozas that looks like a chalk drawing but is actually a digital collage. “For the ceiling, I used architectural references you can find all over the American continent such as cupolas, plafonds, cathedrals, mixed with Mayan and Aztec temples, old American theaters, modern and contemporary North American architecture, hand-carved indigenous wood artifacts, and some local fruits to represent the neighborhood,” says Rozas, a Buenos Aires native who has lived in Miami for 20 years. The dark ceiling is complemented by four color-flecked paintings (two by Rozas, two by Domingo Zapata) that remind you you’re near the epicenter of Miami’s art scene, Wynwood. “It feels like a home,” says Ringleb. “We didn’t want it to be cold or stuffy or pretentious.”

district DECADENCE Black Magic is a bold dessert name, but when you combine semisweet chocolate mousse, homemade marshmallows, chocolate ganache, sweet potato and vanilla bean drizzle, vanilla ice cream, and pistachio cookie—who cares what you call it?

Gone Fishing Executive Chef and partner Josh Capon recently docked a second outpost of his New York-favorite Lure Fishbar at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Here, the celebrated industry veteran talks serious seafood, Miami’s allure and how he’s hooking South Florida foodies. by julia ford-carther

ow did Miami reel you in? We felt Miami was a rare opportunity. The brand is very compatible with the Loews Miami Beach Hotel and Miami and South Beach. We’re fun, we’re upscale, we’re sophisticated. The restaurant is in the old Emeril [Lagasse] spot, which is very special to me for a lot of reasons. Emeril really paved the way for so many of us. He’s been a mentor to me and someone I’ve looked up to in the industry for a very long time. Thoughts on Miami’s current restaurant scene? The restaurant scene is blowing up! I’m really impressed with what’s going on. What are you bringing to Miami’s seafood offerings? Where can you go in Miami and get a great two-pound lobster? To me, whether you live in Miami or you’re vacationing in Miami, you crave seafood. You’re by the water, you want to eat healthy, and you want to eat fish. We do a highend program that’s approachable on many levels; we always let the product speak for itself. We want locals, transients, [and] regulars a couple of times a week. We’re going to make sure that there are some flavors that you crave and you want to come back for. Can we expect more of a Florida influence? We’re definitely going to add local fish on the menu. Grouper, local pompano, fresh Florida shrimp, any local stuff that I can get my hands on. Definitely Floridian influences here and there; there’s a little Cuban, a little Spanish. Any standout dishes? One of my favorite dishes I do is a whole grilled dorade, which is flown in from the Mediterranean. We debone the fish, marinate it with some fresh herbs, and just serve it off the grill with half of a grilled lemon. It’s a perfect grilled fish. For me, it’s very important that when somebody looks at the menu, it’s not, “What do [I] want to have?,” it’s, “Oh my god, what am I not going to have?” What’s been your most supernal epicurean experience? When I was traveling and working throughout Italy and Spain, seeing the different species of fish coming out of the waters with literally a different skeletal structure than most of the flat fish I’d seen. But the flavors were out of this world. You’ll be spending more time between here and New York. How do you like Miami? It’s a fun, lively, hip, sophisticated town. What’s there not to like about Miami? Loews Miami Beach Hotel, 1601 Collins Ave., 305-695-4550; lurefishbar.com OD

A bevy of new eateries is opening just in time for high season. by natalie koho

iami’s culinary culture is on the rise, with new spots from homegrown talent and celebrity chefs popping up, it seems, every month. The five promising eateries below enter the scene just as the crowds arrive.

In the Raw

Located in South Beach’s chic yet relaxed South Pointe, Bar Crudo has a cozy café feel and a mostly raw menu from both land and sea, with a farm-to-table approach. The food reflects the chef’s and owner’s shared passion for simple ingredients that yield powerful flavors, and draws inspiration from cuisines in remote coastal communities. Standouts include pickled scallops with sumac and celery-root-saffron purée, octopus tentacles with sweet potatoes and vinaigrette, and the scallop ceviche with grapefruit. 40 South Pointe Dr., Miami Beach, 305-7638508; barcrudomiami.com

Modern Chinese

The newest venture from chef and certified sommelier Richard Hales, the man behind Sakaya Kitchen, Blackbrick is a modern take on traditional Chinese food. Located in Midtown, it sports an intimate vibe with a dining room that seats

about 50. Hales, who also developed kitchens in Singapore and Hong Kong, puts together an eclectic menu including dim sum and highlights such as house-made Chinese charcuterie, cornmeal congee with wok-fried marrow bones, handmade noodles, and whole lamb and pig. 3451 NE First Ave., Miami, 305-573-8886; midtownchinese.com

Having a Ball

Samba Brands Management, responsible for the popular Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill, is opening a new concept, Bocce Bar, next door in the former Sustain space. The modern Italian restaurant takes a small-plates approach to traditional favorites like crudos and house-made pastas, as well as adventurous choices like crispy rabbit and farro pappardelle with wild boar. As the name suggests, diners can enjoy an afterdinner game on the patio’s bocce court. 3252 NE First Ave., Miami, 786-245-6211; bocce-bar.com

International Affair

Located on Alton Road, Semilla Eatery & Bar, which means “seed” in Spanish, reflects a back-tobasics gastropub concept by offering small-plates cuisine with flavors and techniques of Asia and Europe. The primarily organic menu—peppered with house-grown herbs lining the venue’s dining room—defies geographic boundaries, offering tastes as varied as pot stickers (braised beef short rib with green curry or buffalo-roasted chicken with blue cheese), wagyu carpaccio with nashi pear, or a straightforward 18-ounce New York strip. 1330 Alton Road, Miami Beach, 305-674-6522; semillamiami.com

Succulent Swimmers

After success in Brickell and South Beach, SuViche, a Peruvian-Japanese concept is branching out to Wynwood. The menu offers their most popular dishes, like the SuViche ceviche (whitefish ceviche with Japanese spices) and lomo saltado spring rolls (fried wontons stuffed with sautéed steak, onions, tomatoes, and lomo sauce). There are also funky takes on sushi, such as the Citrus Fire roll (tuna, cream cheese, mango, and jalapeño topped with lime and chili-pepper eel sauce), and Miami’s first pisco bar, with 12 types of pisco infusions with fruits, herbs, and spices. 2751 N.

Next-Level Belly

Kurobuta pork belly kakuni at Makoto in Bal Harbour Shops.

Chef Makoto Okuwa uses both traditional Japanese techniques and novel steps to create Makoto’s latest dish, Kurobuta pork belly kakuni. by bill kearney

ork belly’s been all the rage for a while, but to say you don’t need to see another iteration is like saying you’re done with the concept of “delicious.” It’s the fat-stratified meat from which bacon is sliced and cured, and when cut thick and cooked properly, the results can be both delicate and hearty, luxurious and rustic.

Personal Choice

Chef Makoto Okuwa of the namesake Makoto in Bal Harbour Shops decided to introduce his new Kurobuta pork belly kakuni—seared pork belly cubes caramelized in tare sauce and dusted in spices—simply “because I like it,” he says. “Sometimes I would cook this for myself. I wanted to see how people react.” continued on page 160

quickly. As he does so, he pastes them with thick tare sauce, a kind of sweet, thick brown sauce made from chicken bones, sake, mirin, ginger, scallion, and other ingredients. The tare caramelizes into a sticky gloss over the charred pork. Okuwa then dabs the cubes on each side with dry herbs and spices: shiso and chive on one side, shichimi seven-pepper spice on another, followed by ground sesame seed and nori seaweed powder. To top it off, he garnishes the dish with tendrils of piquant micro shiso and pickled cabbage.

The dish is inspired by traditional Japanese methods and Okuwa’s love for barbecue.

The chef then braises the belly, first in water and rice, before cutting it into one-inch cubes and braising it again, this time in soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake. In traditional Japanese cuisine, the belly would be served at this point, in the braising liquid, says Okuwa. But he takes it several steps further. Okuwa next grabs a handful of hay and briefly cooks the cubes in the hay’s smoke, allowing it to penetrate the fatty layers. He then pops them onto a robata grill, suspending the meat a mere inch or so above exceptionally hot-burning and odorless bincho charcoals, charring the cubes

The Proof

The added steps enhance and play off of what Okuwa calls umami flavor, a subtle savory taste often imparted by cooked protein. The result? Delicate cubes of pork that collapse upon themselves in layers: charred, sweet, savory, all suspended on the opulence only pork belly offers. No, you are not done with delicious.

This dish is inspired both by his reverence for traditional Japanese methods and by his love for our country’s barbecue. Okuwa starts with belly meat of the coveted Berkshire pork, aka Kurobuta, a heritage breed that originated in England and which has maintained a fattier, more marbled meat than typical commercial pig. “The breeding is different and the farming is different,” he says. “The result is better flavor.”

12/17/13 12:49 PM

Jenna Dewan Tatum is living a fairy tale: She’s starring in the new Lifetime series Witches of East End, which was just picked up for a second season; she’s married to People magazine’s 2012’s Sexiest Man Alive, box-office superstar Channing Tatum; and the two recently had a baby girl, Everly Tatum (named after both of her grandmothers). Life is good for Dewan Tatum, but it’s certainly not calm. “We call it ‘The Circus,’” she says amid a cacophony: The doorbell rings, the dogs start to bark, and someone needs her to sign for a package. At the moment, the baby is napping, but Dewan Tatum warns she’ll join the chorus shortly—and considerably more adorably than the rest of the motley crew. “I’m sure Everly at some point will come over and have her two cents. There’s always someone walking in and out of this house, but that’s how I designed it. I’ve always wanted a life that was very family-based, with lots of energy, and I got that times 10! You should see us at the airport with my 14 carry-ons. I’m like, ‘I am going to limit this,’ and somehow I still have two diaper bags, a purse, her clothes in case it gets cold. It’s a whole thing.” Right now, the family is in New Orleans as Channing films the sequel to 2012’s blockbuster comedy 21 Jump Street; they’ll finish up in Puerto Rico and then return home to Los Angeles. It’s a nice break for Dewan Tatum, who recently wrapped the first season of her TV show after heading straight to work just six weeks after giving birth. “It’s really nice to not have to do anything,” she says. “It’s been a chill, relaxing moment for me right now.” It’s one of the first she’s had in a while. Dewan Tatum, who was born in Connecticut and mostly raised in Texas, has been dancing her whole life. After getting her start as a tour dancer for the likes of Janet Jackson, Ricky Martin (both whose tours brought her through Miami), ‘N Sync, and Christina Aguilera—and appearing in their various music videos—Dewan Tatum moved on to acting with roles in Tamara and Take the Lead. People started to take notice when she starred in 2006’s cult dance movie Step Up opposite a handsome upstart named Channing, whom she started

dating after they met on set. (Tatum, whose modeling career launched when he was discovered here on the streets of Miami, had his first acting job on CSI: Miami.) The press tour for the film was a first for both of the young stars, and Dewan Tatum fondly remembers a particularly spontaneous moment during their Miami stop. “We were together when the movie came out, but no one really knew who we were,” she says. “At some point, they threw us a party at the hotel. It was a very beautiful Miami night, and this interviewer brought a boom box and was speaking in Spanish and was like, ‘Here, dance on camera’—and we looked at each other like, what? So Channing picked up the boom box, put it on his shoulder, and I twirled and did circles around him. We were cracking up! We’re crying, we’re laughing so hard. If I can ever find this on tape, I will be so happy.” The couple got engaged in 2008 and married in Malibu in 2009, but not before Dewan Tatum made a three-day stop in Miami for a bachelorette party thrown by one of her best friends, actress Emmanuelle Chriqui. “You just have a whole other vibe when you get to Miami. It’s so sexy: all of the nightlife and beautiful weather, and you wear less clothing. You feel like you want to go out and have some fun and play,” says Dewan Tatum. Eight girls sat poolside at the Gansevoort by day and went out to clubs such as LIV at night. “We ended up going out and staying up until four in the morning. And then lying out and recovering the next day—which is like another part of Miami. You’ve got to get the relaxation-pool-recovery day to ramp up for your next night.”

“ You just have a whole other vibe to you when you get to Miami.”

When she was filming Witches of East End and had an infant to take care of, the actress didn’t have time for relaxation, or, for that matter, shut-eye. “I’m learning to just try and find it as much as I can for a couple of hours,” the new mom says. “You get a nap in there, and it builds up—and then you get the day where you’re like, ‘Oh my God, can somebody watch her for five hours? I need to go to sleep!’” So when she says that filming has been an amazing experience, it means even more. “I had a newborn, so you know that if I enjoy working while I had a 6-week-old in the trailer, it was a fun show to work on.”

ith hordes of paparazzi swarming the family at all times, Dewan Tatum has developed a knack for calmly taking it all in stride with a smile, and Hollywood loves her. These days, though, when people speak about her ability to leave people spellbound, they’re more often than not talking about her new gig. On Witches, the actress plays Freya Beauchamp, a young witch who has recently learned she has supernatural powers; Mama Beauchamp is played by thespian powerhouse Julia Ormond. A campy cross between Parenthood and Charmed, the show, which is based on the Melissa de la Cruz novel of the same name, follows the mystical arc of the Beauchamps as they spark family drama—and in Freya’s case, a steamy love triangle. Dewan Tatum says she loved the script immediately. “The very first part of it was sort of a reimagining of Practical Magic, which was one of my favorite movies growing up,” she confesses. “It also had a splash of a fan-fiction feel, like a guilty pleasure. I thought if we could find a cast that really felt like a family—that we could get really good chemistry with—this would be such a fun show to go do every day.” After roles in the short-lived drama The Playboy Club and last season’s American Horror Story: Asylum, the actress seems to have finally found her TV stride. And although she and Tatum try to plan their work schedules so they can be together, there are weeks apart. Naturally baby Everly became an expert at FaceTime. “She absolutely can recognize him and touches the phone,” Dewan Tatum says. Unsurprisingly, Channing is a ham when it comes to his baby daughter. “He’s Mr. Play Funtime Dad. So every time he comes in, he’s singing to her. He holds her and dances around and she’s laughing. She literally

“ Drake and Prince are pretty badass for a little girl.” lights up when he walks in the room.” The Tatum penchant for shaking your groove thang already runs in the family: Everly bounces alongside her mother’s workouts in her Johnny Jump Up. The new mom received a lot of attention when she debuted her svelte post-baby body just weeks after giving birth, and of course, given her background, dancing played a key role in getting back in shape. “I danced for 22 years of my life, hardcore, every day, seven hours a day, so I’m lucky that [my body] likes to snap back to that shape as long as I put a little effort into it, but I’m really active,” she says. “I work with a trainer named Jennifer Johnson in LA. She’s a dancer as well, and she does this amazing workout that’s part cardio, part strength training, part Pilates-based. I gave birth in London, so I was in England for part of this crazy circus, and all I did was hike. When Everly was born, I was literally rocking her probably 10 times a day for 45 minutes, and I turned it into a workout, doing squats and lunges around the house.” Dewan Tatum is also a vegan, which likely contributed to the accelerated pace of her weight loss. She says she was raised with really healthy eating habits, a behavior she’s planning on passing on to her daughter. Another must when it comes to like-mother-like-daughter? “She’s her own soul, but she definitely seems to be leaning towards the musically coordinated side of things,” Dewan Tatum says. Lest you think that it’s all baby talk, Everly has more modern taste. “She is obsessed with Drake’s ‘Hold on, We’re Going Home.’ If I put that on, she will sleep in five seconds. Prince’s ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World’ also lulls her to sleep. There’s no nursery rhymes, no sweet nursery music to put her down. She is like, ‘No, please. I like the hits.’ I’d like to think that Drake and Prince are pretty badass for a little girl.” As if on cue, there’s a peep in the background: “And now you hear my little munchkin. She’s like, ‘Yup. I’m ready for the circus again, Mom.’” OD

Pushed to the

limit Swinging from harnesses, flipping over tires, posing like a crab, and a daily wardrobe of Lululemon—an inside look at the current culture of fitness in Miami. By Michael Kaplan Photograhy by Billy Coleman

ight now, Anya Ellerbroek is probably mere hours away from her next workout. Lean, blonde, attractive, sporting the latest Lululemon, and quite possibly sweating, she ranks among Miami’s top fitness devotees. Workouts are scheduled at a minimum of six days per week, as she bounces between old-fashioned weight training at Equinox, the defined muscle development of Purgatory Boot Camp, high-energy spin classes, sweat sessions of Bikram yoga, and then back to Equinox for a Metcon3 class: 10 different exercises in 10 minutes, repeated three times, where muscle-fatigue is all but guaranteed. Rigorous workouts have given her a fit body, a healthy heart, social cachet, and something to discuss at dinner parties. As hardcore and possibly excessive as that routine seems, it is the new normal among a growing population of fitness fanatics in Miami. Ellerbroek exemplifies the current breed of Miami’s body-conscious elite, a cadre of folks who look their best in as little clothing as possible, which makes perfect sense given our city’s climate. The “scene” in Miami has always been hyper body-conscious, with its model-industry elements and nearby beach, but

today, there’s been an explosion of fitness methods. No wonder someone as driven as Ellerbroek can fill up a weekly calendar. For Ellerbroek, a student at Nova Southeastern University studying sports and exercise science, the classes—which provide a kind of esprit de corps that you can’t get sweating in solitude—go beyond merely improving health and aesthetics. At Equinox, for example, housewives pile in for multiple classes per day, building their afternoons around the calorie-burning sessions and showing up early to ensure prime spaces, and of course to gab and catch up since yesterday’s class. Elsewhere around town, in-house juice bars serve as perfect pickup spots or meeting points for friends. “Fitness is a major part of my life,” Ellerbroek says. “I’ve met great people; going to the gym is part of my social life.” Fitness fashion can also be a badge of honor, she notes: “It’s part of the reason why you see people wearing workout clothes when they’re shopping for groceries, even if they aren’t going to the gym that day. It’s a way of letting everyone know that they have healthy, active lives.” Joseph Anthony, CEO of Vital Sports Entertainment, has described the Miami market as “endemic to fitness.” When SweatUSA, a fitness expo, recently debuted at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 3,000 exercisers

showed up to take part in classes such as Piloxing (a Pilates-boxing hybrid), to hero-worship guys like Tony Horton, creator of the P90X workout formula, and to score workout tips from super trainer Jillian Michaels, who moved her company down here. Miami, which was once deemed among the fattest cities in America by Men’s Fitness magazine, now boasts a booming fitness market and is luring major get-in-shape firms. Fitness is as much a part of the Miami DNA now as the beach and sun.

he newest arrival is Barry’s Boot camp Miami in Sunset Harbour, a program that already has a crazed following in New York City and Los Angeles. Derek DeGrazio, the company’s partner and lead instructor, who has worked with everyone from Britney Spears to Kim Kardashian, views the addition of Miami as completing a fitness trifecta. Barry’s workout sessions take place in a mirrored room, with atmospherically dim lighting and blasts of motivational music. It’s interval-based with 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training, working individual muscles for no more than one minute at a time. The pacing is so intense that a 1,000-calorie burn is the goal, negating that neighboring JugoFresh açai bowl you’ll probably down after class. “Exercise is very trendy right now, and when a new workout comes to the city, it’s a big deal,” says DeGrazio, not needing to mention that Barry’s is at the forefront of a trend: boutique classes. “Clients enjoy the energy of a group situation, but our instructors give individual attention so that it also feels like a private class. We walk around the room, show how it’s done, and correct form. But at the same time, you see yourself in the mirror and see the silhouettes of the other people in the class. Everybody’s working hard. It’s very inspiring.” Long before sledgehammers were swung (a boot camp staple) and salsa steps toned the core, Miami had already gotten into the fitness act. Back in 1969, the big players were Jack LaLanne, Vic Tanny, and Gold’s Gym. Working out meant lifting weights and using vibrating abdominal toning belts; housewives, however, were nowhere near the gyms, which were the domain of beefy

muscle-heads and in-the-know health enthusiasts. Workouts became more efficient in the 1970s when Nautilus machines hit the market and circuit training debuted. Things blew up big a decade later, after Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda turned women on to aerobics, setting off a fashion trend in leg warmers and short-shorts, which somehow evolved into the stylish tanks and skinny yoga pants that have come to define Lululemon. By the 1980s, industry veteran Peter Cicale owned Olympia Gym and Fitness Center (which he still has, in Aventura) and took notice of his cardio-craving women carefully checking out the weights and aiming for lean musculature. Step classes came into vogue during the early 1990s, David Barton opened up Miami’s first gym-asdisco in ’95 at the Delano, and spinning became all the rage as the decade ended. Then, in 2003, Alberto “Beto” Perez showed up in Cicale’s gym and they debuted the game-changing Zumba there. It became the hottest thing in Miami, let alone globally, with a Guinness World Record set in Mexico, where 6,633 participants Zumbaed simultaneously. Throw in boxing, body sculpting, and private training, which were all big during the early 2000s, and the fitness boom was clearly in full swing. Fattest city? Hardly. When the recession hit in 2008, boutique classes suddenly came on strong. But that was more out of necessity than desire. “A lot of people couldn’t afford private trainers,” says Cicale. “The smallgroup classes provided a way to get personal attention without needing to pay for a private instructor.” From then until now, all manner of small classes—Equinox offers 90 of them per week—have blossomed. Currently, they are the preferred means for getting fit. It all makes private training—even for those who can afford it—the equivalent of having a personal chef for solitary home dining while everyone else lives it up at Prime One Twelve. And Barry’s isn’t alone in this new boutique arena. DeGrazio acknowledges nobody expects monogamy when it comes to exercise classes, citing the fact that he is happy to be in close proximity to Green Monkey, the entrenched yoga mecca of South Beach.

go to learn everything from technical boxing to a military-style workout called Fight Camp. Knockout Zone offers Muay Thai and Brazilian jujitsu. Sobekick lives up to its name with a signature sweat-and-kick class—and a slogan that encourages clients to “be fearless.” 5th St. Gym provides an opportunity to box where Muhammad Ali once did; sparring lessons there may not make you GOAT (Ali’s favorite acronym: Greatest of All Time) but they will get you in great shape with a pedigree. CrossFit has you lifting giant truck tires that seem best suited for an A-Rod preseason workout and whipping around weighted ropes. Ayama Yoga Center now has slings for hanging from the ceiling for its gravity-defying aerial yoga, Crunch offers sessions of aerobics aboard springy attachments on the bottoms of sneakers in its Kangoo classes, and Animal Flow at Equinox encourages you to walk like a bear, crawl like a crab, and hop like a frog, while the Vixen Workout, which takes place all over Miami, involves twerking, burns up to 1,000 calories a class, and usually includes an afterparty. From paddleboard yoga to Surfset core classes to inside-out barre to iron tabata to pole dancing to Krav Maga to candlelit yoga, there clearly is somewhere for everyone to bond and tighten up.

ut it’s not all camaraderie. Some classes cleverly use technology to stoke your competitive nature. At Flywheel group exercycle classes, those who desire can have the intensity of their workouts tracked on a real-time leaderboard, for all to see. “Three or four times during a class, you see everyone’s total number,” says cofounder Ruth Zukerman of the exercise format that uses tech-packs on bikes to make various speeds and resistances easy to maintain. “The names jockey around, and you see who ends up in first place. This brings it all back to the spirit of running a race in gym class.” How spirited is it? “Some people,” says master instructor Aleah Stander, “are so competitive that if they don’t hit a certain number”—or get to their desired place in the rankings—“they stay and take a second class in a row.” Inadvertently or not, these might be cool Miami versions of the two-a-days that football players endure during so-called Hell

Week—but we’re doing them year round and completely voluntarily. As Cicale knows all too well, though, fitness fads come and go. Remember Tae Bo? Or Step? At the moment, according to Geoff Bagshaw, area group fitness manager of Equinox, which has some 6,000 members paying around $150 per month in the Miami area, high-intensity interval training ranks as the reigning It workout. “It is very results driven, and people like that,” says Bagshaw, whose gym features rowing machines that are designed with actual water in order to provide heavy resistance and a sense of reality. “You can be in and out within a very short period of time. More importantly, it works. Just being on the elliptical machine will do only so much for you, compared to high-intensity interval training. It burns the most calories and makes you the strongest.” Some people are going beyond the gym and into the lab. That has created a growing market for physicians and chemists devising cuttingedge techniques for souping up bodies. Leading in that arena is Dr. Ivan Rusilko, the 2008 and 2010 Mr. USA who operates out of Club Essentia spa, atop the Delano. Amid the spa’s massage tables and treatment rooms, he provides vitamin- and mineral-loaded IVs that offer nutrition and hormone “balancing” and purport to burn fat with feeds of chromium glutamine and B-12 plus about 10 other vitamins and minerals. “IV nutrition allows you to optimize your efforts, build muscle faster, recover faster, burn calories faster; hormone balancing puts you back to being 25 years old,” he says, ticking off Rihanna, Emilio Estefan, and others as satisfied clients of the treatments, which go for $150 to $600. “Your body is your calling card. Looking great gets you access.” Of course it’s also a killer quick fix for a hangover from a late night of partying at LIV, which is probably the only activity in Miami that trumps fitness. Yes, it sounds a little obsessive, but as all Miamians know, the payoff is immediately apparent. “When you’re in shape,” says Peter Cicale, “you can wear a $4 T-shirt and look better than someone wearing $300 Versace. That’s just the way it is.” And regardless of changes in exercise trends and advances in equipment, that is what keeps people sweating it up in the gym. OD

Stretch Zone: Way

beyond limbering up, Stretch Zone offers techniques that reconfigure your central nervous system and allow muscles to move with unimagined flexibility. No wonder it’s been embraced by the Los Angeles Clippers and St. Louis Rams. “You see instant results,” says founder Jorden Gold—whether it’s simply being able to touch your toes or hitting a top-spin. “You do things with less effort, resulting in enhanced workouts and a competitive edge.” 21408 W. Sixth St., Aventura, 786-3028039; stretchzone.com

Flywheel Sports:

Cycling in the gym gets you a good cardio workout, but it does nothing for your upper body. Ruth Zukerman decided to address that when she cofounded Flywheel, an exercise program that only begins with cycling. “Threequarters of the way through the class, we introduce weighted body bars for upper-body work,” Zukerman says. “You lift weights while continuing to pedal at a safe rate.” It’s all accented by music and lighting because, she says, “People in Miami are into partying and feeling great.” 1919 Purdy Ave., Miami Beach, 305-763-8227; flywheelsports.com

Ayama Yoga: Yoga is

good. Doing yoga while flying through the air is even better. According to Mano Ardissone, owner of Ayama, his studio’s aerial version is “yoga meets the circus.” You assume your yoga poses while suspended in a sling, which, he emphasizes, has multiple benefits. “You loosen up your spine, regulate your metabolism, and stimulate detoxification. It facilitates a flying experience.” 2250 NE 163rd St., North Miami Beach, 305-932-7755; ayamayoga.com

Hours in Paradise BY JON WARECH

IT’S NO SECRET MIAMI IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MASSIVE CULTURAL, ECONOMIC, AND ALLAROUND COOL-FACTOR RENAISSANCE. AND WITH THE DAWN OF A NEW YEAR, WHETHER YOU LIVE HERE OR VISIT, THERE’S NO BETTER TIME TO BE IN THE CITY. HERE IS WHY MIAMI IS THE GREATEST. TOWN. EVER.

oaring high above South Beach on the 40th floor of The Setai is a fourbedroom, five-bath, 10,000-square-foot penthouse suite, where—past the Steinway piano and beyond the butler’s quarters—there is a master bedroom that features a handmade Swiss-designed Duxiana king-size bed with Italian 400-thread-count linens and plush Ploh pillows from Singapore. It’s the kind of place where Beyoncé, Leo, Tom and Gisele, Bono, and other mononymous stars stay, and for $32K a night, you can stay there, too, and have the best night’s sleep of your life. But you won’t. It’s 1 AM and you’ll look out the window and see it all—sandy beaches, a Fontainebleau ramping up for a big night, and on the horizon, Midtown, Wynwood, a booming downtown, and Brickell. It’s the dawn of a new Miami. So no, if you’re spending the weekend in The Setai penthouse, you won’t have the best night’s sleep of your life, but only because you won’t sleep. The ultimate in contradictions, Miami is an all-hours, high-octane city with a laidback attitude and a casual magnificence. Picturesque sunrises accompanied by egg-white omelettes and açai bowls at 7 AM cap the evening, and on some mornings you can see the moon setting to the west. Our highways are the scenic routes, and our seasons are based on stone crabs. We are a multicultural, multilingual, multigenerational town, and the rest of the world should envy us. Here’s why: We live where everyone else vacations—in paradise.

THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS Arguably the best nightclub scene in the world, Miami is where clubs like LIV host everyone from Diddy to Lil Wayne, and where Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban popped open a $90,000 bottle of Champagne after he won the championship in 2011; Story, where the Heat celebrated their championship; and Mansion, where Jay Z and Rihanna hung until 4:30 AM after his concert. Set, Wall, and SL bring the headlining DJs and an ultra-VIP, bottle-service vibe to a more intimate crowd of jet-setters. (At SL, Drake recently put on an impromptu performance for a capacity crowd of 200 people.) And the velvet-rope treatment is endless, with everything from a personally engraved bottle of Dom Pérignon delivered from the heavens by a robotic “bottle fairy” at Set, to pink and black Lelo vibrators on hand in case the bass from the speakers isn’t enough to turn you on at Mokai. Really. Nearly every club has a team of people that can put you in a Rolls-Royce or a private jet when the sun comes up. Even on a Monday. Even at 5 AM. But in a city where bigger is better—where jeroboam is the new magnum and every night at LIV feels like New Year’s Eve—Miami can also do intimate. You can serenely sip a Hop Scotch Sour at the cozy 244-square-foot Martini Bar at The Raleigh hotel for a classic South Florida early bird special at 5 PM or a Make It Nice at the 600-square-foot James Beard Foundation Award-nominated The Broken Shaker, a spot that’s on the cutting edge of mixology nationally. You can sample a duck McMuffin or the braised brisket Corben (named after regular customer and Cocaine Cowboys director Billy Corben) among an indoor/outdoor capacity “crowd” of just 38 at Blue Collar, on the Upper East Side. Or you can slip into something a little more romantic, like the rooftop at Juvia in the Herzog & de Meuron-designed 1111 Lincoln Road building (quite possibly the world’s most famous parking garage), with views that will give any date a happy ending. Wayne Boich, chairman and CEO of Boich

Group of Companies, who has headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and mines in Montana, chooses to call Miami home, the obvious of the three choices for a billionaire. “It’s very cool, very chill, and also feels very private,” he explains. Sometimes privacy is paramount, which is why you’ll find the who’s who hanging out at private clubs like Soho Beach House, the Miami branch of a members-only worldwide club that hosts some of the best parties in town. There’s also highclass hoopla at Casa Tua, the late-night stomping ground for the likes of Kate Hudson and Eva Longoria. “You go to Casa Tua because you know that all of your cool friends are going to be up there,” says Loren Ridinger, senior vice president of shop.com and Market America, of the James Avenue spot that is also just 25 yards from the bourbon-sipping, 1940s-loving crowd at The Regent Cocktail Club. “To me, the Soho Beach House is the best Soho House anywhere, and I’ve been to them all.” As with Soho House, Miami has become the destination for any top venue that jet-setters appreciate in New York, LA, or even London, but with its own Miami spin. You can party at Hyde, but ours comes with a pool, beach, and a day and night scene at the SLS Hotel that you can’t find out west. You can dine at Catch, Katsuya South Beach, Cipriani Downtown Miami, Hakkasan, or Scarpetta—we’ve got it all and without the LA smog or New York freeze. We even have Serafina, but with a special amenity: “Serafina will actually deliver out to your boat,” says Ridinger, who can be seen cruising around the waters with her husband on their megayacht, Utopia III. Not into delivery? Park your yacht outside Zuma and head inside for a 1 PM bottomless Saturday

Hundreds if not thousands play the Winter Music Conference, our internationally adored head-thumping house-music party that, along with Ultra Music Festival, catapulted the careers of deadmau5, Tiësto, Hardwell, David Guetta, and all of the Swedish House Mafia guys in front of 330,000 attendees annually. The Miami Heat has the world-renowned DJ Irie spinning just

steps from the court at every home game. “I need to be right in the thick of the action,” Irie says as to why he’s center stage. “I need to feel the energy and the vibe to program the music accordingly.” That’s why Irie lives in Miami—we are the thick of the action, and the action never stops. You can get a filet mignon or miso cod in the lounge at Gotham Steak after midnight, or head to Gigi in Midtown, which serves noodles and barbecue to the young and hip until 5 am from Thursday to Saturday (the Miami weekend).

With a 250,000-square-foot expansion planned for 2016 at Bal Harbour Shops, the blossoming Design District, and the $1.05 billion Brickell City Centre set for a 2015 completion, it’s an intra-city battle for your credit card, but that’s why you have several.

deejay any number of parties around town when he’s in Miami. “I watch the sunrise after work on the Lido deck at Standard Hotel.” SIGN HERE If you’re going to show up at the hottest venues in town, you’ll need to dress the part 24/7. South Beach has Oxygene, Base, Alchemist, Jessie Boutique—“like heaven,” according to The Real Housewives of Miami star and founder of skincare line SkinfinityMD, Lisa Hochstein—and The Webster, which carries one-of-a-kind designs from high-end labels and, according to David Helwani, founder of Twenty Tees and LaPina by David Helwani, is an “incomparable shopping experience that offers the best of the best in a perfectly curated mix.” You can also head to Aventura Mall for custommade men’s Louis Vuitton footwear—an LV service

LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH “Miami is just a place where everybody wants to be,” says Hochstein. “We have the best of everything. We have the best beaches, the best restaurants, the best nightlife, the best people.” Finally we can add culture to that list. Joining the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, Bass Museum of Art, and The Wolfsonian is the Pérez Art Museum Miami, a $220 million public contemporary art museum that overlooks Biscayne Bay and is concrete proof that Miami is now a year-round art mecca. “People will be surprised at the beauty of the building, both inside and out, and the importance of the exhibitions,” says Jorge M. Pérez, chairman and CEO of The Related Group, who put the “P” (and $40 million) in PAMM. “It will become a great museum.” He’s being modest. The fact is, if this museum is everything it’s supposed to be, it will be a place that moves the needle in the art world on a global scale. Down the street from PAMM is another work of art by the name of LeBron James, who not only took his “talents to South Beach” but also delivered back-to-back championships. The Heat is part of our cultural scene. Miami loves celebrating and lives for icons, so being in the house to witness greatness on a nightly basis has become a ritual that transcends sports. AmericanAirlines Arena is the place to be seen. Social status in Miami is now derived from seat location. You want to really enjoy a Heat game?

game day. The girlfriend of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade does a beach workout north of The Bath Club before lunching on deviled eggs and short ribs at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in the Design District and “pre-gaming” at City Hall Restaurant before the game. “It’s our ritual,” she says of City Hall. “We started going the year they won, so it has been pretty lucky.” Union spends halftime and postgame at Hyde American Airlines Arena with the likes of Lenny Kravitz and David Beckham—because obviously Miami has a nightclub inside the arena. “It is the who’s who, and one of the best parties in town,” she says of the club where cryogenic systems fog the room while confetti drops and Patrón shots go down like Ray Allen threes. And that’s just at 7 PM. After the Heat win, fans crowd into team favorite Prime One Twelve, which redefined the steakhouse by ditching the stuffiness and creating a high-energy scene where eyes are wandering to see what celebrity or socialite is at the neighboring table. DAY BY DAY Simply put, “Our city is better than their city,” confirms Steve Sawitz, referring to whatever city that may be. As the co-owner of Joe’s Stone Crab, the establishment that stands atop the list of what makes us better, he would know. Every year, people wait in high anticipation for that fateful mid-October day when stone-crab season officially begins after a five-month hiatus. And with 100 years of tradition and a product indigenous to Florida, Joe’s is where everyone from J. Edgar Hoover and Al Capone to presidents like Bill Clinton and both George Bushes have dined. A front-door system that gives priority to regulars is a time-honored tradition that Sawitz says “has that Goodfellas feel to it.” His advice for outof-towners: “Get there early, eat your dinner, and have dessert outside in the patio garden; light up a cigar, have an after-dinner drink, and watch the people. It’s so much fun.” “People watching” is practically a profession in Miami. With modeling agencies like Wilhelmina, Next, and Elite rooted here, and visitors from all over the world tanning and toning their bodies to perfection, Miami is a town of models watching other models. “I’ll have lunch at Meat Market on Lincoln Road and people watch,” says Wilhelmina model Alyssa Arce. “I go to Equinox and it’s filled with beautiful people.” Adriana Lima, Elle Macpherson, and Anna Kournikova are just some

of the specimens who call Miami home, while others just can’t get away. Ocean Drive cover star Hannah Davis canceled her scheduled flight to stay an extra day after her OD photo shoot to linger by the Fontainebleau pool because that’s what supermodels do in Miami. Pretty is woven into Miami’s DNA, both in its people and the landscape. Simply rent an umbrella or jetski from various Boucher Brothers spots along the public beach or watch the sunset from the Mondrian—home of the Wilhelmina offices— while gazing across Biscayne Bay at the Star Island home where Diddy hosted that New Year’s Eve afterparty you’ll tell your kids and grandkids about someday. You can also cross the causeway and live city life in Brickell, plunk down $950 on leather sunglasses at Dior Homme and put them on a luxury wall system you scooped up for $4,000 at Ornare in the Design District (currently undergoing a $1 billion expansion aimed at making it the Rodeo Drive of the East Coast), and discover a budding art scene in Wynwood, where the art on the streets can often be just as spectacular as that inside the galleries. “Just like my parents and grandparents watched Miami Beach grow, I’m witnessing Wynwood and the Design District blossom every day,” says Ashley Turchin, gallery manager for the Peter Tunney Experiment in Wynwood Walls. BREATHE All this is very exhausting, there’s no doubt. That’s why guys like George Lindemann, president of the board of directors at the Bass Museum of Art, likes to step away and enjoy the simple things like the Miami Beach Boardwalk. “Where else can you find a twomile stretch of soft wood to jog on?” he says. “And it’s raised just enough to see the waves breaking. The Boardwalk is always free, and it’s not a secret.” But that’s the beauty of Miami: You can rage at LIV at 4 AM or sit on the sand and listen to the serene sounds of the ocean. You can get a juice from JugoFresh, a fresh drip from Panther Coffee, or gulp down a frozen piña colada on Ocean Drive. You can rent a Ferrari, or you can rent a Deco Bike. You can join a private club, or you can party with the masses. You can do whatever you want in Miami—from the extravagant to the elegantly simple—because in Miami, paradise is found. OD

The recently topped off New River Yacht Club is one of a number of projects helping change the face of Fort Lauderdale’s riverfront.

Take Me to the River The banks of Fort Lauderdale’s New River are seeing stylish new developments, both in real estate and culture. by sean mccaughan

ort Lauderdale’s nickname, the Venice of America, can easily seem more than a bit aspirational if you’re stuck in traffic on Broward Boulevard. Sure, the city contains an extensive system of inland waterways, but anywhere outside of downtown, the canal system is distinctly suburban—perfect for motoring the yacht from your mansion to a friend’s, but not much else. Downtown Fort Lauderdale, with its sensational Riverwalk, is where the Venice analogy really seems to make sense: It’s where the city of Fort Lauderdale got its start and where the future of Fort Lauderdale may lie. Right now, although construction halted during the economic downturn and is only beginning to pick up, new developments and cultural happenings along both sides of the New River are making the city’s urban heart beat better than ever.

According to Seminole Indian legend, the New River first appeared after a night of strong winds, loud noises, and shaking ground. They named it Himmarshee, meaning “new water.” Along its banks, on high ground inland from the ocean, was where the earliest settlements in the area were built, where the Stranahans opened their pioneer trading post, and where the railway routed. More recently, Fort Lauderdale built its Riverwalk, a pair of pedestrian walks on the north and south banks of the river, centered on Las Olas Riverfront, a once-thriving urban shopping center. It took 25 years to build the Riverwalk, in piecemeal sections, as new residential and commercial projects came along or rights-of-way opened up. The more developed northern side gained many features, like parks and public continued on page 214

continued from page 213 buildings, while the south side lagged. That’s all about to change. New residential developments, including The Related Group’s recently topped off New River Yacht Club (400 SW First Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-635-5922) and developer Asi Cymbal’s Marina Lofts (marinaloftsfortlauderdale .com), designed by the world-renowned architect Bjarke Ingels, are coming to the river’s less developed south side. The combination of those two rental apartment projects will mean the completion of both sides of the Riverwalk. The New River Yacht Club, on schedule to be completed in the spring, is 26 stories high, with 246 rental units

and ground-floor retail and restaurants along the Riverwalk. Renderings promise a contemporary building in beige stucco with an active, pedestrian-oriented frontage along the river. There are also rumors of filling in the south bank’s final missing link with the New River Yacht Club West, the project’s second phase, a taller, deeper building still in the planning stages but slated to replace a boatyard on the east side of the old Florida East Coast Railway tracks. Just over the railroad tracks from the New River Yacht Club is the future site of Marina Lofts, a project that Cymbal plans to break ground on in the third quarter of 2014. Marina Lofts, says Cymbal, is “for those who care about design and an environmentally sensitive community, to live in an iconic, mixed-use environment that celebrates Fort Lauderdale and its marine uses.” The 856unit rental apartment project will be built in phases, preceded by the expensive and complicated relocation of a magnificent Albizia saman, or “rain tree,” that stands 61 feet tall and 127 feet wide. The tree will be preserved in its own park a

safe distance away from construction and near the entrance to Marina Lofts. A dramatic canyon will slice through Marina Lofts’ principal building, creating a grand public entrance to the Riverwalk. With the influx of new residents into downtown Fort Lauderdale comes a healthy dose of pumped-up cultural offerings. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, across the river from Marina Lofts, opened new skybox-style seating about a year ago; the $56 million expansion project includes the recently topped-off Huizenga Pavilion, a new wing that will house a restaurant and banquet hall overlooking the river, and new bar areas in the center’s public spaces. Meanwhile, the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale also has a new director in Bonnie Clearwater, the celebrated former director of North Miami’s MOCA. Along with other new residential construction projects, including the 15-floor New River Village Phase III, the massive new Broward County courthouse being built on the river’s south side, and a number of substantial transportation and infrastructural projects coming in the near future, the face of downtown Fort Lauderdale will be considerably upgraded. The Wave streetcar will glide through downtown, from the new Florida East Coast Railway passenger station, across a much more pedestrian-friendly Broward Boulevard, and over the river. A pedestrian plaza above the US 1 tunnel will connect the Riverwalk to the Las Olas Boulevard shopping district. Meanwhile, in other parts of the city, the former Trump Fort Lauderdale will be converted into the proposed Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach Residences, while the former Howard Johnson site (700 N. Atlantic Blvd.) will be rebranded as a luxury, purely residential property. Both are being sold by One World Properties. While Fort Lauderdale is still an extremely popular retirement destination (Money magazine recently ranked it among the top 10 nationally), the city’s growing pockets of picturesque urbanity are attracting a younger generation of professionals and creatives, who can’t wait to rent an affordable apartment in a spectacular starchitect-designed building, to walk along a lively riverfront, and to live in an American Venice.

Developing Downtown Developers look to downtown as the next piece in Miami’s neighborhood puzzle, with visions of an urban hub that will draw a younger generation. moderated by julia ford-carther

How is downtown Miami changing? Alyce Robertson: During the boom, in 2003 to 2008, there were 23,000 condominiums built in downtown. Today, that occupancy is at 97 percent, and there are 14 projects under construction. The population went from 39,000 to 75,000. The bulk of our population is in the 25-to-40 age range. It’s attracting that younger buyer to keep the buzz that’s going on in downtown. We’re trying to make those streets more lively, more welcoming. How are developers playing into this? Harvey Hernandez: Centro (151 SE First St., Miami) represents what that town should be. We wanted a project that was attainable as far as pricing, and cool-looking, because it has to be a place that people want to live in. This type of project really brings an option for young people who are being priced out of the market. These buyers cannot afford to go to Brickell just yet, and if they’re renting, the rent is 15, 20 percent higher than it is here. We start in the low $200,000s and it’s walking distance [to Brickell]. Is urban living a realistic goal downtown?

left:

The booming downtown location and attainable pricing make Centro attractive to younger buyers; above: Alyce Robertson and Harvey Hernandez at the Centro sales center.

AR: You’re going to have a Whole Foods within two blocks. The options are available to live without a car. What we’ve been finding in downtown is that a lot of people are abandoning their cars and getting along with Car2Go. HH: We approached [Car2Go with] a dedicated station, the first in downtown. That way, if you’re a buyer, you will always have access to a car you can rent. We wanted to build a project that we wouldn’t have to build a parking garage for, and in exchange, use the parking system and the network of parking garages that exist in the area, which is huge and sits empty for 50 percent of the time. AR: It used to be that we had a huge daytime population. What I think this [does] is bring the 24/7 to a higher level, where you’re going to have more activity at night. HH: I actually see downtown merging with Brickell and becoming one public area, one whole city. AR: Yes, we’re trying to create the connections across the river and make it more walkable. Bringing people in on a project like [Centro] gives me a feeling that we’re growing up as a community into a New York type of urban environment. And I think that shows the maturing of Miami as a city. HH: We planted the right seeds for what downtown should be. OD

he city’s vision for downtown involves new projects that create a concentrated offering of residential, retail, and office spaces. Alyce Robertson, executive director of the Miami Downtown Development Authority (200 S. Biscayne Blvd., Ste. 2929, Miami, 305-579-6675; miami dda.com), and Harvey Hernandez, chairman and managing director of Newgard Development Group (1200 Brickell Ave., Ste. 1500, Miami, 305-9385707; newgard group.com), expand on how developers are shaping downtown away from being strictly business and toward diversified urban living.

In Catalan, the word “artesa” means handcrafted, which perfectly describes winemaker Mark Beringer’s approach to making Pinot Noir. Focusing on capturing the essence of place, Mark strives for wines that are complex, yet harmonious. The entire process from vine to barrel to bottle is slow and gentle. The result is extraordinary.

J’Adore Adoré Nightlife impresarios Cy Waits and Cory McCormack bring Sin City to South Beach with Adoré Nightclub. by Julia Ford-Carther

iami may be known for its impressive nightlife, but Cy Waits and Cory McCormack know there’s room for more. McCormack, responsible for the famous Las Vegas pool party Rehab and Body English in the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas, and Waits, whose credits include the ultraclub XS at Encore Las Vegas, see an opportunity in Miami’s megaclub market. The end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 will welcome in Adoré Nightclub, their first entry in the local club culture. Tucked in next to the Boulan Hotel, the cavernous 12,000-square-foot space is positioned to “inject some fresh energy” into the outlying South Beach stretch of Collins Avenue. In order to execute their vision of an elevated, indulgent, tastefully wicked experience, explains Waits, “this requires total integration between the elements”—from visuals like a

custom 3-D LED sphere hovering above the dance floor and 100,000 watts of a progressive, high-fidelity sound system to an over-the-top design that expounds on the long-standing juxtaposition of sinner and saint. “The vibe is so different here compared to other US party destinations like New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles,” Waits says. “Here, the nightlife really influences the city’s culture; people come here to party and the party becomes a lifestyle.” Given their past late-night successes, both Waits and McCormack are primed to make some noise in Miami’s extravagant bottle-service industry, winning the adoration of Miami’s discerning party-goers.

Parting Shot Rumor Has It... W

ith bikini-clad models strolling down the sidewalk and tanned tourists popping in and out of stores, Lincoln Road may be the best place to people watch in the country. These days, though, it’s an even better place for people listening. Park yourself at Books & Books for an afternoon, and you’ll hear gossip on everything from chatter about David Beckham’s arrival to incoming eateries and skyline plans to LeBron James’s rumored departure from the Miami Heat and Miami Beach’s inevitable departure from, well, the planet. We love to talk here in Miami. “It’s a small town,” people say. Talking is what we do. That’s why LeBron James and his “not two, not three, not four…” boast of championship titles fits right into Miami culture. Where else do they throw you a party before you even play a single game with the team? Now, of course, with James’s ability to terminate his contract at the end of this season, not two, not three, not four fans are talking about him leaving for another city. Will he go to New York? Could he go back to Cleveland?! We can’t go back to watching football, can we? How will we survive? Those same people are just itching to throw a party for a new superstar, so rumors of David Beckham moving to Miami have whet the appetite of the local gossip hounds. In October, he confirmed he will bring a soccer team to Miami—but that doesn’t exactly mean he’ll be living in the Versace mansion (another rumor that circulated until, surprise, he wasn’t even among the bidders when the home went up for auction in September). Maybe that party can be at the new $1 billion convention center. Or is that not happening? Depends on whom you ask; we want him here so badly that we forget that we don’t even like soccer. Remember the Miami Toros or the Miami Fusion FC? Yeah, me either.

It’s not always about celebrities, although the on-again, off-again relationship of local stars Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova is always a hot topic. We gossip about everything. There’s the buzz of a casino coming to Genting Group’s resort planned for the spot of the former Miami Herald building, despite the fact that state law doesn’t allow for gambling. There’s the story about Uber crushing the local taxi companies, even though current city transportation laws make it next to impossible for Uber to even exist—by the way, are they or aren’t they coming? I might just take the train, that one from Miami to Orlando that’s supposed to happen, too. Miami is a boom-and-bust town—perfect material for rumors. We’re so filled with potential that we can’t help but jump the gun with our excitement, and thus tell the world of our greatness. According to professional gossip and Miami native Perez Hilton, it’s part of our DNA. “Because Cubans were born chismosos!” he responded via e-mail when I asked him why Miami was packed with chatterboxes. The child of Cuban parents, Hilton (real name Mario Lavandeira) may be on to something, but no matter where you’re from, if you live in Miami, you’ve picked up the gossip gene. It’s no coincidence that Hollywood’s most notorious gossiper is from Miami. Of course, according to word spread by a Rolling Stone article, you won’t be living here much longer. Rising sea levels should have Miami completely underwater as early as 2030, according to the hypothetical situation in their article, which means Beckham should be investing in a water polo team, LeBron may be playing for the Atlantis Heat someday, and Uber jet skis may literally be the wave of the future. It’s totally going to happen. Unless, of course, it doesn’t. Or so they say…. OD

O nly in Miami !
