December In Miami Is All About Art!

EWM Realty International/Christies Sponsors Miami Art Fairs
EWM Realty International/Christies Sponsors Miami Art Fairs

Art, art everywhere is basically the theme for December.  If you are visiting our beautiful city during Art Miami and Art Basel, take the time to visit some of our other art attractions.  Since Art Miami runs December 3-8 and Art Basel runs the 5-8, I have added options on either end of those dates.

Art@TheJames – James Royal Palm Hotel, Miami Beach

December –  Concrete Paradise Exhibit Coral Gables Museum

December –     MDC Galleries of Art and Design, Miami

December 14 – Artists At Vizcaya

Or you can pull up Miami-Dade’s Art in Public Places map to see all of the places in Miami where you can see more art.

Happy Valentine's Day

Okay, I have to admit that although I love my husband, family, friends, clients, south Florida, referrals, wine and dark chocolate, but am not a big fan of Valentine’s Day.  As my husband said early on in our dating, every day should be Valentine’s Day, not just a day where flower prices sky rocket, restaurant reservations are scarce, and Hallmark cashes in.  So instead of celebrating just one day, go out and celebrate all weekend!  There is so much to do between the boat show and Coconut Grove Art Festival that you will find plenty of reasons to love living in, or visiting, south Florida.

Best Waterfront Restaurants In Miami

Smith and Wollensky Restaurant at South Pointe Park

Whether you are in town for Miami Art Week 2012 or just visiting Miami to enjoy our beautiful city, you will want to visit one of these restaurants.  Although Miami is surrounded by water, there aren’t that many waterfront restaurants.  In my opinion, these are, in my opinion, the best waterfront restaurants in Miami.

Smith and Wollensky at South Pointe Park,  Miami Beach

Il Gabian0 at Met One

Azul at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell Key

Crazy About You at the Mark

Gibraltar at the Grove Isle Hotel and Spa

Red Fish Grill in Matheson Hammock Park, Coral Gables
