Vizcaya SPOTLIGHT ON ... Miami
THIS SOUTHEASTERN CITY is more than sunshine, palm trees and mojitos, though there’s plenty of that, too—and just a three-hour flight away. Book yourself a Florida getaway that’s equal parts exotic and artsy.
Salsa like a pro No wallflowers are welcome at Little Havana’s
Ball & Chain, where wannabe Jazz Agers convene for dancing and boozing. Miami’s trendiest nightclub from 1935 through the late ’50s is cool again, charming crowds with roaring live musical performances and Tropicana-style dancers, who sub as salsa instructors on Thursday nights. 1513 SW 8th St (305-643-7820,
ballandchainmiami.com)
Live the high life Lose yourself in all of the grandeur of Vizcaya, the
massive Italian Renaissance–style villa tucked away in Coconut Grove. This seaside mansion, built for Chicago industrialist James Deering in the early 20th century, is a destination unto itself—equal parts museum, formal garden and historical site. Tour the 34 antique-decorated bedrooms, count the iconic black-and-white tiles, and bask in the glow of Biscayne Bay’s cerulean waters. 3251 S Miami Ave (305-250-9133,
vizcaya.org)

INSIDER SECRETS
Locals give it to you straight.
Chow down in an up-and-coming ’hood Yes, Park West is full of 24-hour nightclubs, bars
and strip joints, but there’s even more to whet your appetite here. Perk up at Panther Coffee alum Camila Ramos’s long-awaited café All Day (1035 N Miami Ave; 305-699-3447,
alldaymia.com). She keeps mum on the origins of her organic blend, but there’s no silencing customers who rave about it. Next door, Fooq’s (1035 N Miami Ave; 786-536-2749,
fooqsmiami.com) is where David Foulquier serves his grandmother’s Persian recipes (like a pomegranate chicken and fragrant rosewater gelato). The space feels more Brooklyn than South Beach, complete with a sidewalk courtyard and a Grateful Dead mural in the restroom.
Browse an outdoor urban museum Step through the Wynwood Walls’ wrought-iron
gates to find an outdoor museum for graffiti lovers. You’ll find frequently updated works by artists from more than 16 countries, including a mural by Los Angeles artist Shepard Fairey, famous for the Obama Hope poster, and New York City’s PHASE 2, a subway artist and pioneer of the “softie” bubble letter-style writing. 2516 NW 2nd Ave (305-531-4411,

Stroll through a waterfront neighborhood True pedestrian enclaves are few in Miami, but Sunset
Harbour’s walkable streets are only part of why it’s special. Get Zen at the yoga studio Green Monkey (1827 Purdy Ave; 305-397-8566,
greenmonkey.com), visit one of the city’s first gastropubs, Pubbelly (1418 20th St; 305-532-7555,
pubbellyboys.com/pubbelly) and explore South Beach like a local. Virginia Gil
