YOUR PERFECT DAY Jungle Plaza
Design District MORNING
Ready to shop? Bring your black card to Palm Court (140 NE 39th St; 305-722-7100,
miamidesigndistrict.net), where shops from the likes of Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton line the glittering promenade. On the top level of the outdoor mall you’ll find Abaco Wines, a modern wine haven offering flights, paired tastings and classes. If it’s Wednesday, make sure to visit to the Market #atMDD, the weekly farmers’ market at Jungle Plaza (3801 NE First Ave;
miamidesigndistrict.net). With more than 40 vendors selling artisanal breads, homemade jams and grab-and- go fare (think acai bowls and arepas), it’s more than just a place to stock up on fresh produce.
DAYTIME
The spectacularly lavish Miami Design District (MDD) still packs as much of an arty punch as it did a decade ago, before the high-end retailers moved in. To tap into the ’hood’s original laid-back vibe, start your day exploring one of numerous free museums. Head to the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space (23 NE 41st St; 305-576-6112,
delacruzcollection.org) to browse one of the city’s largest privately owned troves of modern art and to Institute of Contemporary Art (4040 NE Second Ave; 305-901-5272,
icamiami.org), which debuts a new space this December, for artists talks and public programming. For creative eats, you can’t beat OTL (160 NE 40th St; 786-953-7620, otlmia. com). Eating for the ’gram? Order the very photogenic OTL super-seed-butter toast topped with fresh berries.

michaelsgenuine.com), remains one of Miami’s top establishments. Everything on the seasonal menu is remarkable, but you’d be remiss to skip the oysters, the wood-roasted double-yolk farm eggs and the local veggie specials. Down the street at Palm Court, Estefan Kitchen (140 NE 39th St, #133; 786-843-3880, estefankitchen) serves upscale Cuban food, Latin-inspired small plates and fancy mojitos.
