Daniel Cappello ON THE COVER: The iconic Peacock Alley at The Surf Club in Surfside, Florida, photographed by Adrien Dirand. Part of our feature by Daniel Cappello about the restoration of the famous club on the shores of Miami Beach, which reopened last year as Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at The Surf Club.

THIS SUMMER, as Instagram posts began to proliferate from Positano’s Le Sirenuse, I wondered how I might plan a quick getaway to Italy myself. It was already too late to score a plane fare anywhere in the justifiable range, but dolce vita FOMO was setting in. Fortunately, there’s a similarly magical hideaway within reach on American shores: The Surf Club, at the northern end of Miami’s beaches. Opened in 1930 as a private-club playground for the rich and famous, the Mediterranean Revival– style building, with its majestic Peacock Alley (which graces our cover), has hosted some of the most lavish and whimsical parties of the last century, and its private cabanas have sheltered everyone from Sir Winston Churchill to Elizabeth Taylor. With a pristine beach and unobstructed ocean views, it’s a secluded taste of the Riviera on an otherwise Art Deco–dotted coastline. Reopened as a Four Seasons Hotel and Residences last year, The Surf Club is a haven of haute hospitality. The original edifice has been restored with meticulous care; new structures, like the glass-box hotel rooms and residences above, offer a pared-down oasis with a deliberate “silence of details,” according to interior designer Joseph Dirand, who furnished the rooms with fluted cast-plaster walls, coffered ceilings, white marble bathrooms, and green veined-stone bars. Travertine banquettes were built for each room. All in all, decidedly chic living. If only you could move in! But wait, you can: as is the growing trend with luxury hotels, this Four Seasons offers adjoining residences for sale. Our tour of The Surf Club makes for a great entrée to our

NEW YORK SO CIAL DIARY THE CALENDAR OF the au-

tumn social season in New York, as we have known it over the last quarter century, seems to take a bit longer to get going these days. It’s the weather differences, for one thing, and the need to chill maybe a little more than we used to. Many who can con-

tinue to take longer weekends (assisted by holidays, religious or otherwise) and have the destination available, do. Also adding to the changes is the constantly growing number of fundraising events that now dominate the high profile social life of New York. Society, as it was defined a

half century ago and beyond, has vanished from our collective unconscious. Social status was mainly categorized by racial and religious differences, along with the main ingredient: money. The mainly WASP society was dominated by women who had no power (or rights) but had access to

large fortunes. They acquired power that was respected. No one thought or said the original Mrs. Astor the fool, alight as she was, covered with masses of diamonds, holding forth glittering at her select soirées. They wouldn’t dare even if it crossed their minds. She was the power of

Society. It is no longer, nor is she of course. Now, in a way, we are far more democratic in our social behavior than the generations who came before us. The Women’s Movement has changed all that forever. By the first of October, warm weather and holidays over, we were back in business. Galas, openings, performances, auctions, and more galas are underway. One week (four day) period (Friday’s still everyone’s TGIF), my calendar to cover was overbooked. On a Monday night, Jackie Weld hosted her annual pre-gala honorees dinner for those being honored by her baby, the Casita Maria Fi28 QUEST

U.S. Ambassador Jamie McCourt and Olivia Flatto

esta at The Plaza. The night before for her Casita honorees Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Carlos Sousa, and Mary Snow, she had 16 sit down at her apartment. Jackie is also still a supporter of the dinner party where people actually meet new people. The following night was the Park Avenue Armory’s annual gala, this year entitled the Indigo Ball. This is a wondrous fundraiser always keeping its audience in mind. Its audience has made the Park Avenue Armory’s exhibitions and events of what they call “extraordinary and unconventional works in the visual and performing arts,” a hot

ticket these days. That’s also Show Business, and they’re not kidding. Even Flo Ziegfeld couldn’t have wished for more. Dinner and speeches were held in the Wade Thompson Hall, which is 55,000 square feet vast. That is where some of the most astounding, and curious, and exciting, and mind-bending performances occur. This particular evening was another one of those visual performances, the bonus for those attending. That same night downtown at Cipriani 25 Broadway, the Princess Grace Foundation celebrated its 2018 Princess Grace Awards gala in the

Shaikha Paula Al Sabah and Farah Diba

presence of Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco, where they honored director Sam Gold and actor Tim Daly, and Kyle Abraham, founder of the dance company A.I.M. Bebe Neuwirth was mistress of ceremonies. The next night, a Wednesday, was the annual ABT Fall Gala. I’d already committed to a dinner that Katherine Bryan and Simon Pinniger were hosting at a private club for Carolyne Roehm’s new book Design & Style: A Constant Thread. This is Carolyne’s 13th book and it is, in her fashion, a memoir, rich in beautiful photographs. Before the dinner, Susan

D AV I D PAT R I C K C O L U M B I A Gutfreund first welcomed friends attending for cocktails at her grand and comfortable apartment just a few steps from the club. The following night was the Frick Collection’s Annual Dinner. Black tie and in the Main Gallery. Where no red wine is served lest it is accidentally spilled on the gallery carpet. Nevertheless it is beautiful and the entertainment, if you could call it that, is simply dining formally in Mr. Frick’s Gallery among the great treasures he collected to fill these rooms. You are there, but also at another moment in our history of New York and America, and the world. The guest list

Beauty, artful and otherwise, were ingredients for the pleasure of the company at all of the evenings. On another Monday night, Jenny and John Paulson welcomed 58 friends and music lovers to their home for a concert by Lang Lang and company, and dinner. The evening was to kick off the 10th Annual Lang Lang International Music Foundation Gala, which took place on October 10 at Cipriani on 25 Broad-

way. After a lively hour of drinks, guests were treated to a rare in-home concert on the Paulsons’ Steinway Grand. Two of Lang Lang’s young protégés played first: Maxim Lando, who played Rachmaninoff, and Aliya Alsafa, who played Mozart. They were followed by Lang Lang himself, who played Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” a piece he chose to commemorate the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrating the full moon. He then played a beautiful Chinese composition called “Autumn Moon On a Calm Lake.” After the recital, guests moved downstairs to the din-

ing room for dinner where our host spoke about the future of music appreciation and the work of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation. He singled out Sandy Weill (who piped in, “there’s no Sandy contribution without Joan Weill”). Mr. Paulson’s love of music started at home. He grew up in a family of people who played the piano—both of his sisters were serious pianists. In those days they played on an upright, and as they became more accomplished they aspired to buy a Steinway, something the family couldn’t afford. Their father finally did buy them a baby grand—but it wasn’t a Steinway.

D AV I D PAT R I C K C O L U M B I A New York is like this. I had lunch on a Wednesday with Wendy Goodman, the Design Editor at New York magazine. She’s been with New York since the mid-’80s when she first joined them to write about fashion. We have known each other for a long time—since the ’90s—because of our mutual professional interests. Many times it’s at a public event, or with mutual friends out for lunch or dinner. But, as it often happens with so many people we meet and get to know in our professional endeavors, I don’t recall ever having sat down with Wendy, and talking about ourselves— her life, my life here in New

York, until this lunch. The date was made mainly to publicize her new book May I Come In? Discovering the World in Other People’s Houses. This is the season for new books and there are a number of interior design volumes coming on the market as I write. They are mainly designer volumes showcasing a designer’s ideas and achievements. They are especially popular with people looking to redecorate or acquire a new home. Wendy’s book is about the curiosity we carry about houses that catch our eye for one reason or another. Curiosity is the main ingredient; seeing what it looks like inside. May

I Come In? is about the homes already lived in by a wide variety of individuals, famous and not, as well as some interior designers. She quotes the legendary Billy Baldwin about the ultimate merits of an individual’s home: “Nothing is interesting …unless it’s personal.” At lunch we discussed this interior design edict, and how we both were personally impressed by what a house/interior tells us about its owner/ dweller. The photographs are beautiful. This is a coffee table– sized book and the images often fill the page to invite you. Wendy also delivers the story of each one in terms of how

each affected her interest and at times, awe. There are more than 60 private interiors, as well as many exteriors telling you about the individual enough so that their personal abodes give you the full picture. Among those whose houses and apartments are shown are, to name only a handful: Richard Avedon, Tina Turner, Susanne Bartsch, Tony Duquette, Valentino, Gray Foy, Andrew Solomon and John Habich, Kitty Hawks and Larry Lederman, Alba Clemente, Anne Slater, Todd Oldham, Cornelia Guest, Kehinde Wiley Daniel Romualdez, Whoopi Goldberg, David and India Hicks, Babs

In the introduction she tells us about her background and how this career came about. Growing up in New York, the daughter of a doctor, she attended Brearley, the private girls school. She attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and went on to study acting with Stella Adler. I’m not sure what persuaded her to follow another path in the arts (It might have been studying with Stella Adler). 36 QUEST

Her first job in fashion was working for Anna Wintour at Harper’s Bazaar. It was there that she met Diana Vreeland who totally charmed her and had a lasting effect on the development of Wendy’s professional career as a writer editor. After Bazaar, she went to work for New York Magazine as its fashion editor. It was during that time that Pauline Trigere invited her for lunch at La Grenouille, which was then run by Charles Masson. At Trigere’s suggestion, Masson gave Wendy a tour of the entire building which was originally a carriage house for the mansion that then existed on the northeast corner of

52nd Street and Fifth Avenue. It was built by the abortionist to Society in the Gilded Age. She was known as Madame Restell, a kind of stage name used for her professional purposes. She also built, and owned a mansion for herself and her husband on the northeast corner of 52nd and Fifth. She was not accepted (in Society) by her neighbors but she had something many of her clients lacked: a good business. Wendy was so taken by the history and use of these rooms above La Grenouille that it inspired a growing interest in covering private dwellings of the rich and fa-

mous, including actors, artists, writers, and such. She credits her natural intense interest in the subject of interior design to her “mother’s unerring eye.” She writes in the beginning of the book, “I understood that the most captivating rooms exist where decoration is a by-product of a person’s passions in life. That is what I am off to find when I tie on my sneakers, hop on the subway, and start my design hunting adventures every day.” She writes: “Over the years of going into other people’s houses I have discovered three things to be true.

The second is what Diana Vreeland expressed so perfectly when she wrote, “Few things are more fascinating than the opportunity to see how other people live during their private hours.” And the third is that houses never lie. They tell you if they are loved. They tell you if they have been created to impress, and thereby sit in loneliness, and they embrace you with palpable joy and warmth when they have been created with authenticity and heart.” Authenticity and heart are the two most important ingredients in this voyage of hers through the seas and forests

of domestic life. Meanwhile back to little ole New York, on a Thursday night. City Harvest, New York City’s largest food rescue organization, held its annual BID—its signature Fall tasting event at the Metropolitan Pavilion—with more than 800 attending. This is a great and important charity, built on the sensible idea of one woman 30 years ago who had the perception and the foresight and common sense to do something about all the food left over at restaurants at the end of the day. This particular event raised nearly $1.6 million—enough to help feed 18,000 New

Yorkers in need for a year. The money raised that night will help City Harvest rescue and deliver more food for New Yorkers in need that would otherwise go to waste; as well as distribute more free, fresh produce to its Mobile Markets; and ultimately bring more nutrition education to families across New York City. It’s always a great party for gnoshing, socializing, and just enjoying the atmosphere that’s New York. More than 50 of New York’s best chefs, restaurants, and mixologists, including Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin, Geoffrey Zakarian of the Lambs Club, Angie Mar of the Beatrice

Guests were immersed in a lively Havana Nights theme while enjoying delicious dishes and cocktails, and bidding on once-in-a-lifetime experiences during the live auction led by Auctioneer Billy Harris. Waste not; want not. The event’s fundraising will make it possible for City Harvest to rescue 6.6 million pounds of nutritious food and deliver it to soup kitchens and food pantries across the five boroughs. “Right now,” Jilly Stephens, executive director of City Harvest said, “there are more than 1.2 million

I was at my desk at 7 in early evening when I turned and noticed that my apartment was already getting dark except for my desk lamp (and my computer screen). So I got up and went outside where the sky was lighter to look at the avenue as dusk was setting in. There are apartment buildings across the avenue and so I make it a point to look UP and DOWN the roadway. I love to watch the traffic, the people, the animals, the visi-

tors. It’s neighborhood, New York version. Variety is its spice; personality is its music. On this particular night, early in the month, I was looking to the south, when suddenly a small black and white flashed out from the corner of the building’s sidewalk. Maybe a Shih-tzu or Havanese, it streaked across the avenue (with oncoming traffic narrowly missing it), at the speed of fear! Dragging its leash behind. I could see by the way it had crossed East End that it had no sense of anything but panic. It was very upsetting to see the terrified little creature, and worse, I couldn’t do any-

From her gait, I could see she wasn’t lithesome enough to run after the animal. And the dog had sped toward more traffic filled avenues ahead. By the time its owner/walker may have reached York Avenue (a block away), the dog could easily have been at Third Avenue if it were still alive and not hit by a car in heavy three and four lane traffic! The dragging leash was the evidence of the owner/ walker’s neglect. It was also

clear that the leash was not being held or at least held securely by whomever had been walking it. There are lots of dogs in this neighborhood and everyday I usually see one or two who are off their leashes or even without leashes attached to their collars. Their owners or walkers are strolling behind or ahead of them casually as if not keeping a full eye on them. (Not that that would make a difference in a dog’s stressful, panic circumstances). If I’m close enough, I’ll ask the person if he or she is the owner. Yes is the reply. Shrug. Sometimes I’ll gently remind them that they’re risking their

dog’s safety. It only takes one little spooking—even the bang or screech of a truck, to set them off. Then they just run in streak in the opposite direction. These are moments when I don’t know why some people have dogs, as the animal’s obvious safety is not the same priority it is with the self. I can understand the thought that they’re giving their dog some “freedom,” but dogs do not have the natural sense of caution that we (and wild animals) possess. Giving them that “freedom” is a sign of insensitive neglect, not human kindness or protection. I’ve had dogs (and cats) all

my life but it’s only in my actual maturity that I appreciate them for what they bring to my life, which is: responsibility outside myself, and the personal feeling of pure affection for who they are. I don’t have children, and if I did, at this age they’d be grown up and gone. I live alone and they are my companions. My social life is mainly my work. So my dogs, with their demands and needs and obvious requirements such as feeding and walking them, are an important part of my time—spare and otherwise. Often when people hear about my dogs, they utter (or exclaim) “that’s a lotta work!”

That “time” for them is not about Me, which is otherwise what it is like to live by yourself, as busy as one might be nevertheless. With my canine crew I experience the gift of giving, of their dependence on me. They return their appreciation with their attention and affection which is a constant. It’s called love, and we’re lucky to have it. They are, in essence, my family.

I wouldn’t describe our relationship as “close,” although Mario had a quality of intimacy to his personality, and he wasn’t hard to know if you paid attention for he was verbal and very expressive. He also had many sides to that personality, although the one most exposed was his comedic sense. He was funny. Silly funny, laughout-loud funny and even repulsive funny.

I used to tell him—and I’m sure I’m not the only one—that he should have been a comedian because Stand-Up was his favorite pose in life. His humor was corny yet sophisticated, and as far as he could reach with his take on things humor-wise, he was never out of line. In other words, he was a pro, through and through.

thing. That lifestyle—and it is a lifestyle memorialized by the 19th–20th century New Yo r k e r s , the Collyer brothers—caused problems with one of Mario’s neighbors. The neighbor was not discreet with his insults about Mario’s habits, and made a public/private issue of it, which caused much hurt as well as anger in him. It was a significant event in his history because it demonstrated a real—even desperate— need which is self-protec-

tion. That intense sensitivity, however, also activated in his work, which is brilliant, lively, charming and a lift to the spirits. I mention this aspect of his life because it explains the man. There was a deep loneliness that grew out of his childhood and adolescence, as everything does with all of us. Today we celebrate Mario’s life, which, he would agree, looks like a fabulous one. He had a good time with his success.

He loved his access to the many people he liked and found interesting in one way or another. He was like having a great, friendly, and funny neighbor. But he wasn’t silly; he was quite serious. He liked good gossip too. He was not a gossip but a good story always brought a rapt ear for details. He was ambitious and had a good taste for irony. He will be missed by many whose lives he touched, enhanced, delighted and amused. His good friend Enid Nemy wrote an excellent obituary of the man’s life in the New York Times. You should read it. u

The Beatles and Cassius Clay at the Fifth Street Gym in Miami, February 1964. 00 QUEST

H A R RY B E N S O N

IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY AFTER THE BEATLES’ success on The Ed Sullivan Show in New York on February 9, 1964, they were booked for a second appearance to be broadcast from Miami the following week. When we got to the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach, I turned on the television in my room and saw Cassius Clay (before he became Muhammad Ali) shouting and bragging about how beautiful he was and how he was going to win the world heavyweight boxing title from the champ, Sonny Liston. I thought, well, that would make a good picture, so I suggested to the Beatles that we go to meet Clay. They all agreed, but then John said he didn’t want to meet the big mouth; he wanted to meet the reigning champ instead. So I went to Liston’s training gym. Liston was tying his shoes and didn’t even look up at me as he replied, “I don’t want to meet those bums.” Remember, at the time the Beatles were causing a sensation, but they were very different from any group that had come before (think Elvis), and some people were leery of Beatlemania, which was sweeping the country. In any case, I hired a large car and picked up the Beatles, who thought they were going to meet Liston. Instead I took them to the Fifth Street Gym where Clay was training. For once, the Beatles encountered someone who was as quick-witted as they were. Clay had them walking around holding signs while he danced around the ring pointing to Paul and shouting, “He’s pretty, but I’m prettier.” He made the Beatles line up then lay down in the ring while he literally stole the show. They were taken aback and furious with me afterward, saying, “Clay made a fool of us, Benson, and it was your fault.” They wouldn’t speak to me then, but I didn’t mind, as I left the next day to photograph Ian Fleming at his home in Jamaica. The recently released film Dr. No, based on Fleming’s book of the same name and starring Sean Connery as James Bond, was causing a sensation of its own. I returned to Miami to cover the Clay-Liston fight, in which Clay became the heavyweight champion of the world and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. And when I saw the Beatles a few months later, they were fine—all was forgiven. ◆ NOVEMBER 2018 71

TA K I

THE PERPETUALLY OFFENDED BRIGADE

Left to right: Brett Michael Kavanaugh, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, during his hearing; Count Boniface de Castellane, who was no slouch when it came to sophistication, posing in 1987.

AFTER THE NIGHTMARE caused by those claims against Judge Kavanaugh, I tried to make sense of those hysterical women screaming their heads off. Lack of sophistication and manners and wit was the answer. Synonyms for sophistication are too many to list, but I like suavity, civility, poise, and savoir-faire. We are living in such dreadful times where manners are concerned, that a little old-fashioned sophistication is like the proverbial breath of fresh air. Take, for example, an event that took place just before World War I, at an exclusive party at Count Boni de Castellane’s. A 72 QUEST

great French lady felt herself beginning to die at the dinner table. She whispered to the waiter, “Quick, bring the dessert.” She was not overcome by greed. She simply wished to hurry dinner along so as not to drop dead before the party rose from the table. In other words, she did not wish to cause discomfort to fellow guests, nor to embarrass herself. Needless to say, the lady was a sophisticate. Her host, Count Boni, was no slouch when it came to sophistication either. Having accepted an invitation to the British embassy, one he refused to honor because of a sudden assignation with a

lady, he nevertheless showed up on Rue St. Honoré the next evening in full dress pretending he had got his dates mixed up. Now that is a very gracious way to cover up one’s bad manners. Boni was anything but unsophisticated. Personally, the most suave thing I have ever heard was a tale told to me by Gianni Agnelli a very long time ago. We were talking about the war and how Rommel was badly let down by his Italian allies in the desert war against the AngloAmericans. Gianni had been in Tripoli as a young lieutenant and found himself in a very noisy nightclub very late in the

TA K I evening. A beautiful lady of the night was dangling from the arms of a very blond and very tall German officer dressed in a beautifully cut Wehrmacht uniform. An Italian officer approached the couple and began a conversation with them, obviously trying to ingratiate himself with the lady while paying rudimentary attention to the German officer. The latter kept up polite appearances while surreptitiously taking out his sidearm and firing the Luger once at the Italian’s booted foot. No one became the wiser as the place was at its noisiest when the German pulled the trigger under the tablecloth. Gianni went on to tell

During the 1968 student uprisings that had de Gaulle’s government reeling, Le Grand Charles flew to Germany to meet with Jacques Massu, then leader of France’s third army stationed there. When the president of the Fifth Republic walked in, General Massu stood up and saluted. “Alors Massu, toujours con?” said the president. “Oui, mon general, toujours Gaulliste,” answered Massu. Even the deadly serious and cold-asice de Gaulle had to smile on that one. Massu pledged his allegiance. The Fifth Republic survived to this day. Sophistication does not always come with maturity, but it is very rare to find

show you a great bore. When did we all become so fragile, that mere metaphors turn us into fainting flowers. Where has the sophistication gone? When the Earl of Sandwich (yes, the man who invented it) accused John Wilkes, an opponent in Parliament with the following phrase, “You Sir, will either die of the pox or at the gallows,” Wilkes didn’t miss a beat and answered, “That, dear sir, depends if I embrace your mistress or your principles.” That was the end of the Earl’s speeches in Parliament. Our life now is devoid of wit and laughter and wickedness of speech because of the most dreaded disease

me that the Italian smiled, saluted, and excused himself. He then limped away from the table. No one caught on to what had transpired, not even the lady involved, except for the two Axis officers. According to Agnelli, it was the most civilized act ever. According to me, I suspect that the officer who got shot was Agnelli, but he would never reveal himself to have lost a one-on-one against a German. But he sure carried the scar on his right foot. I have another favorite, this one concerning General de Gaulle and General Massu, the French paratrooper hero of Algeria, and one tough cookie.

it in the young. They just grunt and text a lot. Just think about Tory members of Parliament during the early part of the last century, who would debate subjects in ancient Greek or Latin to the furor of their Labor Colleagues who had not attended upper-class boarding schools. “Translation, translation,” they would scream and bang on their desks to the delight of their conservative members. What I find the most excruciating habit of all is today’s perpetually offended brigade, all this faux outrage and offencetaking. Show me someone who says, “You can’t say that, it’s offensive,” and I’ll

since the Black Death: Political Correctness. Our lives are now desiccated, dreary paragraphs delivered by people terrified of saying anything colorful or interesting that might offend the armies of those Waiting to be Offended—you know the type. All I can say is let’s try to be a bit retro. Voltaire is a good example. When asked to join the church and to renounce the devil while he lay dying, he smiled and said, “This is no time to make new enemies.” u For more Taki, visit takimag.com. NOVEMBER 2018 73

78 QUEST

My family has a personal connection to the war’s end, and a group of cousins will dine to honor our paternal great-uncle, Lieutenant Pierce H. Butler, who joined General John J. Pershing’s American Expeditionary Force in the summer of 1918 to fight in the Second Battle of the Marne. It was there at Soissons that he was fatally wounded by sword the day after the Armistice had been declared, but before word of it had reached the front lines—something almost impossible to imagine in our world of instant messaging a century later. Pierce Butler died of gangrene in a field hospital two weeks later. My great-grandfather never recovered. “James Butler was a hard man,” his chauffeur, James Byrnes, told me when I interviewed him on his 100th birthday 30 years ago, “but Pierce’s death broke his heart, and he was never the same after. He wanted Pierce to take over the family grocery business. All the employees loved him, because he was a regular fella.”

ON NOVEMBER 11, we will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, the end of World War I—“the war to end all wars.” The ceasefire was set for “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month,” ending a conflict that had killed 16 million and caused 37 million casualties. The War decimated the flower of a generation in Europe, and the punitive terms demanded by the Allied victors of Germany stoked the rise of National Socialism, Hitler, and, ultimately, World War II, which would result in over 50 million dead. World War I inspired towering works of art, such as Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front; memoirs by Siegfried Sassoon; poetry by Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, and John McCrae; and Benjamin Britten’s monumental War Requiem, after an unforgettable performance of which I attended in Kings College Chapel, Cambridge, the crowd departed in stunned silence.

After finishing officer’s training in upstate Plattsburgh but before embarking for France, Lt. Butler had married Maud O’Brien, the daughter of New York Supreme Court Judge Morgan J. O’Brien, in April of 1918 at the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer. Widowed after only seven months of marriage, Aunt Maud observed a lengthy period of mourning but later married Gerald Dempsey and moved to Palm Beach. In 1926 they had a son, George, the well-known restaurateur and raconteur who died earlier this year at 91, and whose popular hangout, Dempsey’s, my maternal cousin Michael McCarty took over in the early 2000s and operated successfully for over a decade. And so our ever-intertwined lives go on. My cousins and I will raise a glass to Uncle Pierce and to all our fallen heroes on the Armistice centenary. May their memory be an everlasting blessing. u

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae (1872–1918) was a Canadian artillery commander and doctor. He was inspired to write the poem “In Flanders Fields” on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of his friend and fellow soldier, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially dissatisfied with his work, discarded it. “In Flanders Fields” was first published on December 8 of that year in the London magazine Punch. It remains one of the most-quoted poems from the war. NOVEMBER 2018 79

RESTORING WETHERSFIELD’S SPLENDOR

CO U RTE S Y O F B U D N I K FA M I LY ( S T I LL M A N )

CHAUNCEY DEVEREUX STILLMAN was a Renaissance man: commodore of the New York Yacht Club, accomplished horseman, gentleman farmer, philanthropist, and art collector. A trained architect and landscape designer, he created Wethersfield, his magnificent estate in Millbrook, New York, where for decades he was a generous host to countless visitors. Stillman came to Millbrook in 1937. He began assembling his 1,200 acres from former dairy farms and chose the highest point on the property for his house to take advantage of the spectacular views. When he died in 1989, he left Wethersfield to the Homeland Foundation hoping they would maintain it as it was in his time. Unfortunately, the property was neglected, and until recently, went unloved and unappreciated. Now a new board, the Wethersfield Foundation, with Stillman’s grandson Peter Budnik

as president, has given it a new lease on life. Board member and Stillman’s granddaughter Tara Shafer remembers summers at Wethersfield, riding with her brother every morning, “and in the afternoon we went in the carriage with Grandfather, which we thought was absolutely normal.” Of the board’s decision to sell several paintings in order to raise funds, she says, “My grandfather loved art and he loved to share it with other people. I like the idea of pictures from the house going around the world.” And thanks to modern techniques, it is impossible to tell the reproductions that hang in their place from the originals. Douglas Dewey, Wethersfield’s executive director, says, “Mr. Stillman exemplified a life that wasn’t just a life of privilege but a life with a responsibility to keep beauty alive in tomorrow’s world.” To that end, board member Farnham Collins invited 14 people to meet in the carriage house last year and decide how they might reconnect the property to Millbrook in a way “that would be uniquely and specifically Wethersfield.” After, Marion de Vogel wrote a proposal that became the Friends of Wethersfield, with each “Friend” hosting a dinner in the house for people they felt might become supporters. Having learned from his former butler how Stillman entertained, they served his favorite dishes including the Somerset Club’s cucumber soup and his own recipe for rice pudding. “The Friends role is to supplement the activities of the Foundation and is unrelated to the endowment, which is solely responsible for the operating costs of the property,” de Vogel explains. “What we’re doing is what Mr. Stillman might have done himself.” One of the Friends’ first projects was replacing the ancient beech tree on the south lawn. Long before the invention of the tree-spade, Stillman had it dug up and persuaded his cousin, Governor Rockefeller, to close the Taconic so it could be 82 QUEST

trucked up from Westchester. By last year, lightning and age had taken their toll and the Friends replaced it with another enormous beech. The Friends are also raising funds to restore Pietro Annigoni’s frescoes in the Gloriette—the only frescoes by the artist in this country and the first ones he ever painted. The theme is humanism, and the setting is Wethersfield with birds and animals native to the area and the Catskills in the background; Annigoni painted Stillman in one panel as a joke but Stillman was amused and decided to leave it. The Friends have held a number of events to re-introduce Wethersfield to Millbrook. The property is open to the public three days a week during the summer, and some non-profits that Stillman particularly supported can hold events there. Community Day in August attracted far more people than expected. There have been several concerts in the drawing room. In September the American Driving Society came for three days of coaching, and in October the opening meet of the Millbrook Foxhounds was held at Wethersfield with the hunt breakfast in a tent by the house. “What I love about the Friends is that it allows members of the community to participate in Wethersfield,” Shafer says. “Grandfather loved to have people visit, so in a sense Wethersfield should be treated as a community asset. We members of the family are enormously gratified to see the interest in it.” Budnik is also grateful “to the Millbrook community for rallying around the property and my grandfather’s vision for the place, for providing a warm welcome to the new regime and putting the old days behind us. That Wethersfield now has a bright future is very important to us all. The place is a spot of beauty and peace, and I hope that it is treasured for generations to come.” u

FOUNDED IN 1930, The Surf Club was an unlikely addition to the Miami Beaches. After all, the then southernmost city was a place for the limelight as much as the sunlight. Still, there’s always that coterie of like-minded folks who prefer to socialize behind closed doors, which was precisely the appeal. The idea for the club was born in the late 1920s on tire tycoon Harvey Firestone’s yacht the Marybelle. He was cruising up the coast with friends when they came upon a pristine beachfront. It was the height of Prohibition, and they had been looking for a private place to gather. Having found the spot, they called on architect Russell T. Pancoast to bring their vision to life. Opened on New Year’s Eve 1930, the club quickly became a mecca for some of the most exceptional figures of the past century. Among those who descended were Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elizabeth Taylor, Winston Churchill, Alfred Hitchcock, Mohammad Reza, Shah of Iran, and more. There was always something fabulous taking place—from poolside fashion shows and debutante galas to black-tie boxing nights and over-the-top parties, some of which are pictured here in all their carefree glory. Last year, a new chapter of the legendary club was brought to life after a magnificent multi-year restoration. Nadim Ashi, who assumed ownership in 2012, decided to gather some of the most prominent creative minds from across the globe to restore the club’s iconic magic. Today, a new wave of glamour is sweeping its shores. The nine-acre property houses a Four Seasons hotel and Four Seasons residences along with two exceptional culinary destinations: Le Sirenuse, by Antonio Mermolia, and The Surf Club Restaurant, helmed by the multi-starred chef Thomas Keller and designed by Martin Brudnizki. Among the others on Ashi’s roster were Richard Meier, who added three new glass towers above the original Mediterranean Revival–style structure to house 77 guest rooms and 50 residences; Joseph Dirand, who brought the fabled Peacock Alley walkway back to life, and designed the sumptuously sleek rooms of the hotel, residences, and overnight cabanas; Fernando Wong, the landscape designer behind the tropical oasis on the grounds; and Cathy Vedovi, the art NOVEMBER 2018 93

The vast Four Seasons Spa celebrates an age of secluded seaside escapes with relaxation rooms in the form of indoor cabanas; its treatments offer the latest from advanced skincare line Biologique Recherche. Joseph Dirand created what is arguably one of the chicest kids’ clubs in the world, home to the Kids For All Seasons program.

Live bands nestle between the palms to perform on Thursday nights, while DJs shuffle in to play on weekends. Sunday brunch at Le Sirenuse serves up a true taste of la dolce vita, even down to the tunes, with live musicians crooning French and Italian favorites. But The Surf Club is not one to rest on its laurels. Innovations continue to trickle out, from the 30 recently opened daytime cabanas for hotel guests, residents, and members, to “Private,” a members-only club that’s scheduled to launch sometime next year. Like that original club conceived on the deck of a tire tycoon’s yacht, the new members’ club will be reserved for a select and happy few.

Q: I know many companies have recently made the move to Palm Beach County due to tax benefits. How has this transformed Palm Beach and its buyers? A: Although Palm Beach has always been a destination, the new tax rules have definitely increased the number of buyers from a number of markets, including the Northeast corridor, California, and Illinois. We have shown properties to buyers from Boston, Chicago, and Silicon Valley. Q: What are the most coveted residential areas on the Island? What about areas beyond the Island? A: The entire Island is coveted, it all depends on a buyer’s preferences in terms of neighborhood. Billionaires Row, of course, is where many of the largest properties and most expensive oceanfront properties and ocean to lakefront properties are found. Recently we have seen increasing interest in the North End of Palm Beach. Last year the North End witnessed a fair amount of new construction as developers bought somewhat smaller homes or parcels of land, and built larger homes offering modern amenities. In West Palm Beach, the neighborhood South of Southern Boulevard (SOSO) has really heated up.

Q: Tell me about some of the new Palm Beach hotspots in terms of entertainment. A: Palm Beach has two main hotspots: The Royal Poinciana Plaza and Worth Avenue—particularly The Esplanade. The Royal offers Music in the Courtyard on Thursday evenings, family activities on the weekends, and wonderful high-end shopping and excellent dining options. Worth Avenue has always been known for its extraordinary retail stores, including numerous luxury brands and charming Vias. The Esplanade is opening a new Chinese restaurant and adding a retail concept boutique called Launch Pad, a rotating retail lifestyle experience, this season. Chez JeanPierre has been one of my favorite restaurants.

Q: Which areas would you recommend for young buyers looking to be near exciting nightlife and shopping? A: Southampton Village has been and continues to be a real draw. It has a relatively large number of restaurants and shops in its center. There are original stores still in existence, for candies and toys, and for home furnishings and hardware. The same goes for several tried-and true restaurants, like Silvers, Le Chef, and La Parmigiana. For renters and owners, if you need something quick, most likely you can dash into the Village and pick it up. Q: How have startups like Airbnb affected the summer rental market? A: We have not seen any direct influence. Anecdotally, the gig economy probably benefitted shorter-term and with much smaller rentals. Large rentals still need agents with scores of local knowledge and contacts.

102 QUEST

Q: What advice would you give to buyers and sellers given the current state of the Hamptons market? A: Today, smart buyers do their homework, and understand the value of a property. The old saw still applies: when a home is priced well for its market, it sells. Q: Tell me about one of your listings. A: I am keen on the neighborhood in Southampton Village, east of Lake Agawam. It is charming location, and a straight shot to the ocean. During the summer we see dozens of families riding their bikes down to the beach. I have a great listing off of Little Plains that is a brand new beach house, smart and stylish, with a pool (below).

Q: Tell us about the current state of the Manhattan market. A: The number of sales fell 16 percent from this time last year, and down 42 percent from record highs in Q3 2013. It’s no surprise that prices have taken a hit as well: the median sale price fell 3 percent year-overyear. There seems to be a disconnect in the headlines and in reality. The financial markets, after all, are performing quite well. Interest rates are still near historic lows. Uncertainty around the political climate, global trade, high prices, and increasing housing supply levels are contributing to the softening market. However, properties that are priced well are moving, albeit not at the brisk pace we’ve recently grown accustomed to. Q: When considering the transformation downtown has recently undergone, what continues to attract buyers to the Upper East Side? A: The Upper East side is and always will be a very sought after neighborhood. It offers some of the most gorgeous housing stock in the nation, from prewar candela buildings to a select number of new developments with layouts conceived by some of the greatest architects of our generation including people such as Peter Pennoyer. This

established area offers a range of amenities such as worldclass museums and parks. Whether one is looking for a starter studio or five-bedroom penthouse on Central Park, a great option will be available on the Upper East Side. Q: What are the most important qualities for buyers to look out for when visiting a property? A: Layout and the bones of the apartment are paramount. It’s easy to change wall colors or faucets but the basic tenets such as flow of apartment, ceiling height, light and overall layout are not as easy to manipulate. Many people have become consumed with having a completely done apartment but a good floor plan is more important.

A: In addition to the beauty of its shoreline and proximity to New York City, Long Island has distinctive communities, each with its own particular appeal, as well as New York City–worthy cultural options, world famous beaches and recreational opportunities, spectacular parks and outstanding schools. But the very best representation of our communities comes from the people who call Long Island home.

Q: What kinds of properties are selling in Long Island? A: There’s a definite trend of buyers looking for homes that offer an ease of lifestyle; i.e. homes that are turnkey, with easy access to town and other local activities. Buyers want a more urban feel in a suburban setting. In my local market, Manhasset, which is located just 18 miles outside midtown Manhattan, buyers can find that urban feel. The fact that residents can walk to the town, the train, and the schools drives the market and attracts buyers. The larger homes that are in need of updating are experiencing a longer time on the market. In general, the market has become very price sensitive in the past six months, making pricing a bit more challenging.

Q: What continues to draw people to the Upper East Side? A: Pricing is more competitive than it is downtown—there’s great value to be had for buyers. It’s truly an amazing neighborhood with great restaurants and prime educational opportunities. Of course the new and interesting architecture along with Central Park and all of the museums and the Upper East Side culture are a huge draw. It’s also great for those who have second homes on Long Island or Upstate as access is easier than living downtown.

Q: Do you have anything else to share? A: Douglas Elliman is really making strides to stay on top of what’s currently going on in the market while staying ahead of current trends. When listing a unit, you really need to do your homework about it’s value, as pricing right from the start is crucial. The greatest amount of traffic comes during the first few weeks on the market. If you’re priced too high at the beginning, you may miss your buyer.

Q:What do buyers look for in buildings today? A: Buyers today are more discerning and sophisticated than ever before. Amenities have been and continue to be a huge selling point. 200 11th Avenue was really ahead of it’s time with their private elevator garages that allow residents to drive into the building and be lifted up to their unit. Privacy is also important as we’ve seen with the celebrity-filled 443 Greenwich Street. Buyers are also looking for top-of-the-line finishes as well as stand out features such as state-of-the-art appliances. Q: Is there a typical Upper East Side buyer?

sources to execute on all phases of the listing process, and a team that is fully available the minute the listing hits the market. Optimal pricing is key to a profitable and efficient sale. While pricing a listing at or below market value will generate the most traction, over pricing will lead to sitting on the market too long, resulting in several price reductions before the first offer. Q: Anything else we should know in terms of the market? A: Now is a good time for buyers. We have been going through a correction in the market as supply has increased. Many sellers who have to sell are taking deals well below their initial asking prices. However, this will not last forever and well capitalized buyers will find value in this market.

Q: Has the typical downtown buyer evolved over the years? A: Yes, living downtown has become much more desirable over the years. There are a number of startups, technology firms (i.e. Google and Facebook) as well as financial firms located downtown today, which has increased the buyer pool at both ends of the market. These buyers are willing to spend more to be in the right neighborhood and on desirable blocks. There has also been a lot of newer condo development so luxury buyers have more options than in the past. Q: What is necessary today for a quick and efficient sale? A: Representation is always key, but today it is more than ever. Sellers need to work with a broker who has the re-

Q: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re some buyer trends? A: New York City is one of the most dynamic residential real estate markets in the world. Buyers in this market are well capitalized and may be acquiring residential property for many reasons, including for primary residences, second homes, or long-term investments. While location, size, and convenience are all of the highest importance, these buyers are mainly focused on price appreciation and resale value. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very common for buyers to seek move-in condition residences with a neutral renovation.

CO U RTE S Y O F S AU N D E R S & A S S O C I ATE S

Q: What are the best areas in the Hamptons for families? What about for young couples? A: I think Bridgehampton draws a lot of families, and I think a big part of it is its central location, an abundance of open and cleared flat lawns perfect for play space, and proximity both to ocean beaches and Sag Harbor (i.e pizza, burgers, toy stores, and ice cream all on the same couple of blocks). Q: How have startups like Airbnb affected the Hamptons real estate market? A: I think sites like these have cannibalized the rental market in dramatic ways. We are not seeing the same historical patterns of full-season rentals, and despite the fact that very short-term rentals are not permitted in most of the jurisdictions on the South Fork, more and more homeowners are opting in to these platforms. Unfortunately, without stronger enforcement of existing regulations, I think we will continue to see an erosion in the rental market.

Q: Is now a good time to buy or sell out East? A: I think yes for both buyer and seller. Pricing and inventory have remained fairly consistent for a good amount of time, which tells me that the right market balance has been achieved and pricing is fair for both sides. Q: Tell me about one of your listings. A: We are currently offering Jobs Point (pictured below) for the first time ever, and there’s nothing like it. This consists of two single, separate waterfront parcels—both flag lots—totaling 2.3 acres with 600 feet of south and west facing frontage. Its a very rare opportunity to create a two-home compound or merge lots and go big. u

In addition to honoring this year’s Ballinger recipient, the event will toast the publication of the Preservation Foundation’s new book, Palm Beach: An Architectural Heritage, published by Rizzoli.

The 2018 Ballinger Award recipients are Jordan and Thomas Saunders, owners of Ivor House. Completed in 1937, Ivor House was designed in the British Colonial style with Georgian influence by architect Marion Sims Wyeth of Wyeth & King. Showcasing Wyeth’s mastery of classical architecture, the symmetrically balanced façade is accented by a louvered portico with a denticulated cornice. The entrance halls showcase an original stair railing with an intricate Chinese design rendered in wood along with carefully preserved crown molding, paneling, foxed mirrors, and French doors with arched transoms leading to the loggia. Of particular note are the grisaille murals of the entrance halls, which were painted by the renowned muralist Graham Rust. The murals feature scenes of a romanticized

The Saunders were deeply involved in the design and execution phases of the recent renovation project, paying special attention to the classically inspired landscaping and chinoiserie motif throughout the property. Thomas Kirchhoff of Kirchhoff and Associates Architects, Thomas Samet of Hamptons House Design, Keith Williams of Nievera Williams Design, and Davis General Contracting were all part of the design team on the Ivor House renovation. The Ballinger Award, established in 1988, goes to one or more individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to Palm Beach’s architectural heritage through the preservation of historic architecture. As timing would have it, the work of Graham Rust will also be on display at the headquarters of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach from February 19 to April 18, 2019. The exhibit, “Graham Rust: Designs and Illustrations,” will showcase the artist’s designs for mural decoration and trompe l’oeil as well as other smaller projects.

The brainchild of fair director Nick Korniloff, Art Miami is a forum for both first-time buyers and top collectors alike. Whereas some art fairs can be daunting in terms of price tags, accessibility, or art shown, Art Miami is—by Korniloff’s design—an unintimidating gateway to the international modern and contemporary art market. This year’s fair—December 4 through 9—will be held at One Miami Herald Plaza on Biscayne Bay, in the heart of Downtown Miami. “It’s about cultivating relationships between gallerists and collectors,” according to Korniloff, “but also—and equally important—about giving back to the community.” This year, the Platinum VIP Preview on December 4, sponsored by Christie’s International Real Estate, will benefit the Pérez Art Museum Miami, which, over eight consecutive years, has received more than $150,000 to date from Art Miami’s VIP preview night event. 120 QUEST

770 NE 125th St., North Miami / 305.893.6211 The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) will present a groundbreaking exhibition this fall that celebrates the Chicago-based AfriCOBRA collective, in conjunction with the group’s 50th anniversary. In 1968, artists Jeff Donaldson, Jae Jarrell, Wadsworth Jarrell, Barbara Jones-Hogu, and Gerald Williams founded AfriCOBRA, which stands for African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists. The group’s visual language is defined by the use of text; bright “Coolade” colors; dynamic, gestural markings; and raw, emotive, celebratory images of confident black figures. The vision these artists created went on to define the aesthetic of the Black Arts Movement. Scheduled to open just before Art Basel Miami Beach 2018, “AfriCOBRA” will be on display through April 2019. u This page: Barbara Jones Hogu’s Rise and Take Control (screen print), 1970 (above) and Nelson Stevens’ Jihad Nation, 1969 (middle), part of the AfriCOBRA exhibit at MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (below).

WORLD RENOWNED for its high-quality, collaborative, and compassionate care, Cleveland Clinic Florida houses physicians with expertise in more than 55 specialties. Working together as a team to diagnose and treat patients, doctors on staff are salaried employees (not in private practice), which allows them to pool their wisdom for the benefit of the community. “Cleveland Clinic Florida is part of a top national and international brand for health care excellence and innovation,” notes Wael Barsoum, MD, CEO and president of Cleveland Clinic Florida. “We are in the vanguard of health care medical advances and other best practices, from electronic medical records and our interdisciplinary approach to care, to our not-forprofit staff model led by physicians.” Responding to demands for more services, this past month Cleveland Clinic Florida opened the doors of its newly constructed hospital tower and expanded Emergency Services Department. The $232 million five-story, 221,000-square-foot addition to the Weston campus expands capacity by 50 percent, adding 75 hospital beds and 42 emergency bays designed to accommodate more than 70,000 patients a year. “Cleveland Clinic Florida has been a vital health care resource for the South Florida community for 30 years, driven by innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to patient-

centered care,” Barsoum says. “We are proud to provide our patients expanded access to our world-class care and greater convenience through multiple locations in Palm Beach County, including our newest medical office in Wellington.” With its recently expanded hospital in Weston and other locations throughout South Florida, Cleveland Clinic has more than 250 of the world’s top physicians working collaboratively to achieve excellent outcomes. The not-for-profit, multi-specialty, fully integrated medical center provides outstanding medical diagnosis and treatment for all types of complex illnesses. “Our hospital has been operating at or near capacity for a number of years,” adds Dr. Barsoum. “We can now offer our world-class care to more patients, especially high-acuity patients such as individuals facing cancer, cardiac, and neurological conditions and those in need of organ transplant services who require complex care.” The new hospital tower and expanded Emergency Services Department are part of a major expansion announced in 2015 and fueled by $302 million in capital investments. Other capital projects launched this year include the establishment of a medical office in Wellington and the opening of the 73,000-square-foot Coral Springs Family Health Center.

Cleavland Clinic offers 11 Florida locations, including Palm Beach Gardens (inset) and an expanded Weston Campus (this photo).

TO LAUNCH MONCLER’S 1 Moncler Pierpaolo Piccioli collection, the brand’s CEO Remo Ruffini co-hosted an intimate cocktail party at the House of Genius with Barneys CEO Daniella Vitale. The soirée was followed by a seated dinner at The Refectory in the High Line Hotel.

The eclectic line will be sold at Barneys. Guests that evening included Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Vanessa Hong, Simone Rocha, Larsen Thompson, Adut Akech, and Liya Kebede.

ON A SUNNY AFTERNOON in California, the 9th Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Los Angeles attracted a star-studded crowd including Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Kaley Cuoco, Mandy Moore, Rosario Dawson, Justin Hartley, Christina Hendricks, Rachel Zoe, and Molly Sims. Shortly after Molly Kate Kestner sang the National Anthem, Ellen Pompeo tossed the ceremonial polo ball to kick off the match between Team Veuve Clicquot and Team Will Rogers, which resulted in a 7-6 victory for the Champagne brand. Kendall Jenner took to the field afterward to congratulate old friends Nacho Figueras and Delfina Blaquier on the win.

Brightline is positioning itself as the new benchmark for train travel in America. Current schedules include service between Miami and West Palm Beach with a stop in Fort Lauderdale. Future service to Orlando, via Cocoa, is slated for operation in 2021.

THE SUNSHINE STATE is picking up more speed of late—in the form of Brightline, the intercity higher-speed rail system that began operations earlier this year between Miami and West Palm Beach, with a single intermediate stop at Fort Lauderdale. Orlando is the next scheduled destination for 2021 as the service expands in the coming years with a West Palm Beach–Orlando segment, via Cocoa. Developed and operated by All Aboard Florida, part of Florida East Coast Industries, Brightline—and its diesel-electric locomotive-hauled trains—is the only privately owned, operated, and maintained passenger rail system in the United States. Positioning itself as the new benchmark for train travel in America, the company is thinking of travelers’ needs 144 QUEST

along the way. For the fall-winter season, passengers can take advantage of the recently debuted “Buzzer Beater” service, which provides a later departure time from MiamiCentral so that Miami Heat basketball fans can stay until the end of the game. If basketball’s not your thing, hop aboard a “Tasting Train,” one of the monthly experiences hosted by Brightline that features premier food and beverage while traveling to MiamiCentral. Riders who recently disembarked from MiamiCentral enjoyed a stylish live-music reception along with a sampling of Guado al Tasso by Marchesi Antinori wines. What pairs well with fine Tuscan wine and food on a train? Incredible views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline as you’re pulling away, of course. u
