Chocoholics to Converge at Pinecrest Gardens March 9-10

Post author By jenniferwollmann
Post date March 7, 2013

I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate, so I am thrilled that the first ever Miami Fine Chocolate and Food Show is coming to Pinecrest Gardens this weekend. One of my favorite chocolate stores, Romanicos on Coral Way, will be there as well as Valor chocolates from Spain. Romanicos’ chocolates are pure artistry from their Tropical Collection, with painted fish motiffs, to their Nostalgia Habanera, with chocolates filled with dulce de leche and guava paste. My favorite from Valor is their 70% dark chocolate bar with banana. Pair any of these with red wine and…heaven!

I am looking forward to tasting chocolate from all of the chocolatiers that I don’t know yet and adding to my current stash.

Pinecrest Gardens – Answer to Last Week’s Where’s J Wo?

Pinecrest Gardens, the site of the old Parrot Jungle on Red Road in the Village of Pinecrest, is more than a beautiful tropical garden. It could also be considered the Village’s downtown. Since the Village’s borders are US 1, Red Road, 136 Street and 88 Street, there weren’t many areas to create a Village Center when the Village first incorporated in 1996. Today, Pinecrest Gardens hosts a weekly farmer’s market, a jazz series, classical concerts, art exhibits, plays, a horticultural series, movie nights, food tastings, and so much more. Couple it with the Village Community Center and the Library and it is definitely the place to hang out in Pinecrest.

Gated Communities in Pinecrest – Red Oaks

Post author By jenniferwollmann
Post date August 7, 2012

There are several gated communities in the Village of Pinecrest. Most of them consist of only a handful of houses. I will be featuring these communities over the next two months.

The first one is Red Oaks. Located off of Red Road, Red Oaks is walking distance to Hirni’s Wayside Garden Florist, Pinecrest Wayside Market, Pinecrest Elementary School, Pinecrest Gardens, Pinecrest Library and Community Center.

Built between 1999 and 2002, Red Oaks consists of 5 single family homes that are approximately 5,500 square feet and sit on 15,000-20,000 square foot lots. There has only been one sale in Red Oaks in 2012. It sold for $1,550,000, which was $284 per square foot. Maintenance fees are $800 per quarter and include lawn maintenance.
