Sitting inside at a concert in the beautiful, acoustically magnificent concert hall is a wonderful experience. But sitting outside on the grass is almost as good.
With a state of the art speaker system 1000 people enjoy the sound, and with a six story wall where the concert is projected lets you see and hear the best of it. Come early, bring some chairs, a picnic, friends, a bottle of wine.

This was one of those fun nights out. The food was fine, but the experience was too memorable. Todd and I went because he knew someone who knew the owner. Whoever she was she joined us for appetizers and totally entertained us. Then , after dessert, her young daughter serenaded us. I can’t say go or not. its worth a try if you have a recommendation from another source.
a real diner. sadly it has closed.
People are attracted to you for who you are, they stay with you for how you make them feel. Think about it.
UPDATE NY TIMES July 21, 2017
“I’m not sure if we fall in love with people or if we fall in love with the way they make us feel,”…. I love being ahead of the times…
There are a few things to know about MCB, the first is they are fantastic, so check the schedule and drive out to our new Performing arts Center and see a performance. Continue reading “Miami City Ballet”
If you are visiting from out of town, and staying out on Miami Beach then you will need to take an evening stroll on Lincoln Road. Best to go later on a Friday or Saturday night when the full effect can be enjoyed, or Sunday for brunch and the farmers market. But the real attraction on Lincoln road is the people watching. Tourists galore but mixd in are the locals walking their dogs and each other. Perhaps do a little shopping and grab an ice cream.
My dream year would look like this. I would spend a few nights here in Miami each week, then fly out for three days to different cities across the country to attend all the interesting learning happening at One Day U. Spend a day in the classroom, three nights eating fabulous food, a day walking and shopping the second hand shops and art galleries, and a day at the local museum/garden. oh, would it be!
Another nice car ride, and if you are here for a week and want to spend the night in Naples and see what that’s all about, driving across Tamiami Trail, through Big Cypress, stop in at the famous Everglades photographers museum. Or just drive out for the afternoon.
People come to Miami and they think of South Beach. I don’t know why south Beach. Yes there is some interesting architecture but what else is there? night life, hot sand beaches, overpriced food. I don’t get it.
Its a bit of a drive North but worth it if you have the day and want to walk through peaceful gardens. With a number of different styles of quite Japanese gardens displayed for you to walk thru, beautiful bridges, winding footpaths and a bonsai collection you won’t go wrong. The restaurant is good and a few times a year they have special events.

Acres, and miles of paths wind thru this lush tropical paradise, take a tram ride, join a walking tour or just wander or sit and relax.
We love the indoor butterfly garden and you can sit in air conditioned luxury and watch it all through windows. I dont recommend the food so bring something with you if you want to eat here.
