"Showcasing the best contemporary art of the 20th and 21st centuries while also reflecting the multitude of nationalities that call Miami home – that’s the aim of the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).

Since 2016, it’s estimated that over 2,000 works live in the PAMM’s permanent collection."

In addition to its rotating exhibits, the museum is home to the Caribbean Cultural Institute, which promotes the arts and culture of the Caribbean. 1103 Biscayne Blvd, Miami | 305.375.5662 l Distance from Hotel: 5.6 miles"

"Once the home of the American tycoon James Deering, Vizcaya was built influenced by European architecture at the shores of Biscayne Bay. Although its design looks ancient it is not an old construction (the main house dates back to 1914-1916). The mansion was decorated with objects and pieces of art bought in from Europe."

"With its colorful garden, its colonial architecture and its history, Villa Vizcaya is beautiful and really worth the trip. You can easily spend half a day there. Try and spot the multicolored giant lizards outside. They are so beautiful they look fake!"

"A Scarpetta alum helms this tiny, brick-walled taverna, serving handmade corzetti with garlic scapes and asparagus, and spaghetti con gamberi with Key West shrimp and Calabrese chiles, as well as roasted branzino and cabbage cacio e pepe. Unlike your average red sauce joint, the bar pours excellent craft cocktails (including The Speck-tacular Now, featuring honey clove syrup, Jamaican bitters and speck-infused Tin Cup whiskey) as well as an extensive list of Italian and international wines.

"Chef Michael Pirolo and his partner Jennifer Chaefski opened their 70-seat Macchialina restaurant on the west side of Miami Beach. Their goal is to inspire locals and experienced tourists with the authentic flavors and seasonal ingredients that accompany each dish. A native of Queens County in New York, head chef Pirolo attended a cooking school in Italy to improve his skills before becoming a chef at Scott Conant's Scarpetta on his way to discovering this great diner."

"Macchialina, which comes from the words “macchia,” meaning mark or spot, and “maialina,” meaning piglets, aims to be reminiscent of a “small rustic eatery in the heart of any Italian town.” Under chef and owner Michael Pirolo’s lead, it serves up well-executed Italian classics like veal parm, branzino, cacio pepe, alongside with some interesting twists, like broccolini Caesar salad."

"Located in the heart of Downtown Miami, this Italian gem is popular with those who do business at the main courthouse as well as those who have business there. La Loggia draws favor for its terrific, home-style pasta dishes and its oft-packed happy hour (one of the only ones on Flagler Street). The beautiful waitstaff darts to and fro, making sure that each table is enjoying its hearty Northern Italian fare."

"If you need to escape Miami’s madness, consider a green day in one of the country’s largest tropical botanical gardens. A butterfly grove, tropical plant conservatory and gentle vistas of marsh and keys habitats, plus frequent art installations from artists like Roy Lichtenstein, are all stunning. In addition to easy-to-follow, self-guided walking tours, a free 45-minute tram tours the entire park on the hour from 10am to 3pm (till 4pm weekends)."

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."
