"The BEST and most beautiful church I’ve ever been to in my entire life. It’s in a hidden part of Coconut Grove near Mercy Hospital. This place is right by… read more »"

"I actually found this parish when I google searched on Miami Perpetual Adoration. It came up as the closest parish to Coconut Grove. The masses are mostly… read more »"

"Saint Francis de sales Catholic Church is a small white church located 3 miles away from Miami beach towards its North End. Built in 1940, Saint Francis de sales Catholic Church is made with mission chapel and serves the Parish community in the region. Structured beautifully with Parish architecture, the church welcomes every visitor for a spiritual tour."

"Not only does the Standard offer monthly spa specials on treatments, the hotel schedules retreats and workshops a few times a year, too. If that’s not really your thing, not to worry; there’s a pool on site here with views of Sunset Harbor, a hamam (complimentary to hotel guests), an arctic plunge, mud bath and more. Register for a paddleboarding class or power yoga — the Standard Spa offers a full-blown class schedule for ultimate relaxation."

"The Standard Spa, Miami Beach Photo: Courtesy The Standard Spa/Nathan Sayers. The Standard Spa at the always buzzy The Standard Miami Beach is like Goldilocks—it’s ultra-cool and stylish, but set far enough away from the hectic heart of SoBe to ensure it is still a relaxing oasis. In other words, it’s just right."

"When it comes to finding a hotel in Miami, there is no shortage of options available. Whether you want to reminisce in Miami’s art deco beginnings in a vintage-styled hotel, or want to indulge in modern luxury, there is a hotel for you within any budget. This makes finding a hotel in Miami somewhat of a challenge when the options are pretty endless."

"A famed five-star resort with a world-class spa and high-end Peruvian restaurant, offering stunning views of Biscayne Bay. Its lobby bar and outdoor dining venue cater to a buzzing after-work crowd and, with both a stylish pool and man-made beach, soak up the sun here sans the South Beach scene."

"More of a cultural center than a museum, the space is both a comforting reminder for Haitian expats of their country’s art, history, music, movies, and literature and a fascinating look into a Caribbean nation that too few have been able to visit. Opened in 2004 to commemorate Haiti’s Bicentennial, the 60,000-square-foot museum is a one-of-a-kind experience just steps from Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood, a location that makes it even more immersive ($10/adult).

"In Biscayne Bay, you’ll find the PAMM – the Pérez Art Museum Miami (pictured above), spearheaded by the billionaire real estate developer and collector Jorge M. Pérez – in an impressive 2013 building designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron. Originally launched in 1984, the PAMM has always focused on contemporary art, but in the last three decades it has increasingly featured Latin American art, and it holds one of the largest collections of contemporary Cuban art in the USA. Besides its permanent collection, there’s an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions, which have included artists such as Steve McQueen, Haroon Mirza and Hew Locke."

"The Pérez can claim fine rotating exhibits that concentrate on post-WWII international art, but just as impressive are its location and exterior. This art institution inaugurated Museum Park, a patch of land that oversees the broad blue swath of Biscayne Bay. Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron designed the structure, which integrates tropical foliage, glass and metal – a melding of tropical vitality and fresh modernism that is a nice architectural analogy for Miami itself."

"Opened in December 2013, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, known locally as PAMM, shines as the city's first true world-class museum. This…"

"Led by beloved Miami chef Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, a.k.a. Chef Bee, NaiYaRa is a perfectly mismatched representation of what happens when past and present come together. Prepare for a flavor overload as Chef Bee uses locally sourced ingredients to meld Thai street food with Japanese specialties and serves them family-style. That means that you might see something like popcorn shrimp on the menu, but it will come with shiitake mushrooms and spicy mayonnaise."

"The Northern Thai and Japanese styles at NaiYaRa are a happy addition to the growing culinary hub in Sunset Harbor. The pricing may be on the higher side, but it’s worth it. The papaya salad, sriracha wings, and beef jerky will prime your taste buds for the crab fried rice and drunken udon."

"Sunset Harbour's NaiYaRa is helmed by Thai chef Bee, as he’s known, whose previous credits include Nobu and Khong River House, and the restaurant is his ode to the northern Thai cuisine of his grandparents and where he spent..."

"Hidden behind Koa Restaurant on South Beach, guests are escorted through a dark corridor that opens up into a theater-like den dining room where they’ll dine on a 16- to 18-course dinner created by executive chef Max Kamakura. The menu rotates often with show-stopping dishes highlighting Kamakura’s Brazilian roots and Japanese training like lobster sashimi, uni with black truffle on crispy rice, A5 wagyu nigiri, and otoro uni truffle temaki. Reservations are required, and once booked, guests will receive special instructions on how to access the restaurant."
