In case you are planning to party the entire New Year’s weekend, you may want to consider taking in The Coconut Grove Art Stroll on January 2, 2010 from 7-11 p.m. It promises to be fun but not too high key if you are still recovering from the 31st.

This is one of the many beautiful views from the 516-unit Marina Blue Condominium on Biscayne Boulevard. This brand new building sits directly across the street from the Port of Miami, Miami Arena, and site of the future Miami Art Museum. It is walking distance to Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Perfoming Arts. Convenient to South Beach (see it the the background to the left), Miami International Airport (15-20 minutes), and Brickell. Easy access to public transportation.
There are currently 39 units listed on the MLS ranging in price from $299,00o for a 950 square foot, one bedroom one-and-a-half bath unit up to $3.3 million for a 4,198 square foot three bedroom three-and-a-half bath unit on the 57 floor.
The Pinecrest Farmer’s Market at Pinecrest Gardens has been open every Sunday since December and I finally got by this weekend. It is open every Sunday from 9-2 p.m. through April, and I plan on being a regular. In addition to the fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown locally, there are food vendors with everything from conch to tropical ice cream, herb and vegetable plants for the home gardener, spices, and green products to clean your home or make it more energy efficient. My favorite part was the burst of color all around me. I know where I will be shopping for my produce for the next several months.

If someone you know is a wannabe race car driver, a great holiday gift is to give them a one or two day racing school experience. Offered at the Palm Beach International Raceway or Homestead Miami Speedway, these courses are sure to get the adrenaline going! If the course wets your appetite, consider joining the Palm Beach Driving Club to keep your race car/course fan entertained all year.
I know Art Basel isn’t quite over, but if you want to see local art, join in the Coconut Grove Art Stroll tomorrow night from 7-11 pm.
There are currently 23 one to 3 bedroom units on the market in the South of Fifth area of Miami Beach. This is a great area of Miami Beach to be near every thing without being too close to the night clubs and heavy tourist area. Your neighbors include Joe’s Stone Crab, The Big Pink, Nemos, Prime 112, Nikki Beach, Smith and Wollensky, DeVitos, Opa, and many more restaurants. The shopping along 5th street, including the new Publix, make leaving your car at home easy. Plus you have miles of beach for walking, jogging, or just soaking up the sun, and great parks nearby.
Art Basel Miami starts this week from December 3-6. With Andy Warhol’s “200 One Dollar Bills” painting fetching over $43 million earlier this month, many artists and galleries are hoping that the art market has also hit its bottom and that this year’s event will prove more lucrative than last year’s. In addition to the exhibitions and events connected to Art Basel, there will be many sideline exhibits and activities, many of them free.
