It’s easy to spend an hour or more wandering through the murals and the galleries connected to the Walls."

"WynwoodThe Rubell family, whose name has been synonymous with art and philanthropy in Miami for decades, has renovated a 100,000-square-foot industrial space west of Wynwood to showcase its massive collection. The family prides itself on finding great artists early in their careers, and visiting the museum you’ll find stuff from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Rashid Johnson, and others from long before the world knew their names. The private collection is beyond impressive, with 7,200 works from more than 1,000 artists."

"To capture the stories of the marginalized communities, Spinello projects under the ownership of Anthony Spinello are attracting many eyes in Miami and the international world. Projecting ongoing political scenarios through art is an appreciated characteristic of Spinello Projects. Being a nomadic art gallery owner, Arthur Spinello by now had ten shifted stores in Miami and the earlier Spinello Gallery is now shut down."

"Located just down the street from Mindy Solomon Gallery, Tile Blush – “a concept reamigined from the remnants of Noguchi Breton, formerly VersaceVersaceVersace and GucciVuitton” – represents those whose work blurs the line between architecture and art. Often minimalist in its curatorial approach, Tile Blush displays painting, sculpture and furnishings in dialog with one another."

"Long-time Floridian gallerist Mindy Solomon decamped her St Petersburg gallery to Miami in 2013. Since then, she has brought a roster of contemporary ceramic artists into the fold, often exhibited in dialog with two-dimensional paintings and drawings. Sculptures, however, are the true stars of this location: a visit to the backroom reveals large, misshapen ceramic creations by Australian artist Virginia Leonard; vibrant ‘furries’ by Linda Lopez; and embroidered landscapes by Sophia Narrett."

"The place is decorated with contemporary paintings and celebrity murals such as Frida Kahlo and Audrey Hepburn. Come for the inspiration and take as many pictures as you want."

"Restaurants Ice cream parlors Coral Gables. This South Miami neighborhood spot is a mainstay for traditional, no-fuss ice cream. Servings are cheap, cookies are freshly baked and the staff—made up of mostly teens and kids from the area—are cheery and eager to let you try whatever is in the freezer."

"This family owned ice cream shop is just off Sunset and has the best ice cream in Miami. Bold statement, I know, but I speak the truth. And, they don’t just stop at ice cream, their cookie cups happen to be the greatest of all time."

"A South Dade mainstay, this ever-popular ice cream stand has been serving homemade ice cream, cookies, and other sweets to the crowds for close to 30 years. Order online for in-store pick up."

If you're planning on visiting during the park's busy season (December through April), be sure that you call ahead for a reservation."

"The two-hour tram tour is the best way to tour through the area. A naturalist is aboard the tram who educates about the ecosystem of the wetland, the animals found in the region and the diverse plants present. The tram takes along the Tram Road Trail."

This award winning Florida based chain of restaurants use only in-season produce for all their preparations."
