noreply@blogger.com (I Heart Miami) — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:30:00 +0000

After a long summer of travels, extra loads of work, making skincare products and disconnecting from social media...we are slowly entering back into the blog world, and into our Miami version of FALL! Slight dips in temperature (yes, going from 100 to 85-90 is technically a dip), surprisingly refreshing night breezes, the occasional threat of a hurricane, and the return of pumpkin everything..we have entered October. This may be our last month until the snowbird infiltration takes over, so get outside and enjoy all the events going on!! Check back each week for updates to the monthly guide!

Adventures in Miami :: Wynwood Food Tour

Adventures in Miami: Wynwood Food Tour

by Lydia Lane

Apart from the occasional Panther cold brew, my experience with Wynwood has always been at night. An evening gallery party or Second Saturday Art Walk has taken me up and down the colorful streets, but after an invite from Miami Culinary Tours I decided it was time to explore Wynwood in the light of day.

Our host, Grace, greeted us at Wynwood Walls giving us a brief background on Miami’s history, the transformation of Wynwood and a lesson on the many artists now attracted to the flourishing area. Once consisting of abandoned warehouses and parking lots, Wynwood is now home to over 70 galleries and museums as well as countless restaurants and bars. After taking in the works of artists from around the world including Shepard Fairey, Gabriel Gimenez, and Fafi, we began the tour.

The restaurants we visited had cuisines as diverse as the neighborhood art, ranging from American Bistro, Nuevo Latino, Puerto Rican and Peruvian. The tour ended with a local Florida classic, Key Lime Pie.

Yellowfin Tuna Tartare and a Shredded Short Rib Slider

Ropa Vieja Empanadas, Maduros, Tequenos & a brew from Wynwood Brewing

Key Lime Pie

Mofongo

Rain or shine, the Wynwood Culinary Tour is presented daily at 12:00 pm. For $69, a knowledgeable guide will take you around the neighborhood teaching you about history, artist information and an introduction to five new restaurants. The tour lasts for 2.5 hours, covering a distance of about a mile. Tickets are easy to purchase on their website, and they also offer tours in South Beach and Little Havana. To book your art and food tour click here, and make sure to arrive hungry!

August 2015 :: What's Going On!

noreply@blogger.com (I Heart Miami) — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 12:19:00 +0000

The Summer disconnect break has been going great and I recommend it to everyone to try! Put your phones, laptops, ipads away and open a paperback, read a magazine, have face to face conversations with people...enjoy the sunshine and beaches! Between my real job, work and personal travels and a few other projects going on, it's been lovely to disconnect from the blog/iphone world.

I'll be on the disconnect until further notice, so I'll leave you with our August posts, all in one, and I'll update as I learn of fun things going on.
