Miami. One of the fastest changing cities in the US has more than postcard beaches and pastel-coloured Art Deco façades. Its history is of booms and busts, reclaimed swamps, hurricanes, and crime waves. Throw in a diverse mix of communities and there’s a rich panorama to explore.
The arrival of Art Basel turned Miami into a dynamic arts hub, with galleries regenerating Wynwood and now Little Haiti. Cocktail bars have exploded and the trashy South Beach scene of old has been turned on its head by fresh music venues.
Slow food pioneers have raised the dining level, but there’s as much fun to be had exploring the street food scene—from Haitian seafood, Cuban sandwiches and Caribbean curries to Jewish delis and Argentine asado. In Miami you can eat something new three times a day, seven days a week.
Some local legends have shared their side of the city. A performative artist, an iconic Latin musician, a cocktail pioneer, and a bold, young curator. It’s all about original minds and the creative vibe. Get lost in the sights, flavours and sounds of the city. Get lost in Miami.
