During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Fast Cats Ferry Service
Finally, a ferry that goes from Miami to Key West. It's about time. The PurrSeavearance may be a cheesy name for a luxury $7.5 million catamaran, but the trip is hardly so. The 102-foot boat can hold up to 149 passengers and will make the 4-hour cruise (driving only takes 3 hr., but with traffic it can take up to 5) four times a week starting at $69 each way. VIP tickets cost $98 and include preferential seating. Food and alcoholic beverages are available but not included in the price.
The Scott Rakow Youth Center
This center is a hidden treasure on Miami Beach. The two-story facility boasts an ice-skating rink, bowling alleys, a basketball court, gymnasium equipment, and full-time supervision for kids in the fourth grade and up. Call for a complete schedule of organized events. The only drag is that it's not open to adults (except on Sun, family day).
Bay Escape
This 1-hour air-conditioned cruise will take you past Millionaires' Row and the Venetian Islands for just $15. There's also a food stand and cash bar. The tours are bilingual.
Miami River Inn
The Miami River Inn, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a quaint country-style hideaway (Miami's only bed-and-breakfast!) consisting of four cottages smack in the middle of downtown Miami. In fact, it's so hidden that most locals don't even know it exists, which only adds to its panache. Every room has hardwood floors and is uniquely furnished with antiques dating from 1908. In one room, you might find a hand painted bathtub, a Singer sewing machine, and an armoire from the turn of the 20th century, restored to perfection. Thirty-eight rooms have private bathrooms -- 4 have a shower only, 6 have a tub only, and 28 have a splendid shower and tub combo. One- and two-bedroom apartments are available as well. In the foyer, you can peruse a library filled with books about old Miami, with histories of this land's former owners: Julia Tuttle, William Brickell, and Henry Flagler. It's close to public transportation, restaurants, and museums, and only 5 minutes from the business district.
The Palms South Beach
A $5 million renovation has transformed this formerly shabby, uninspired oceanfront tourist trap into an antebellum tropical oasis in which Art Deco meets Gone with the Wind. Lush tropical landscaping, both indoors and out, is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle on congested Collins Avenue. In fact, the landscaping renovations of the hotel were so impressive, Fairchild Tropical Garden opened a gift shop at the hotel, The Palm Collection by Fairchild Tropical Garden, which offers an impressive collection of items for the home and garden. Upon arrival, guests receive the hotel's signature welcome drink, O'Mango Infusion, and on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, the hotel offers Yoga Under the Palms, complimentary Yoga sessions taking place in and around the hotel's garden. Rooms have been spruced up beautifully, bordering on boutiquey, with high-tech amenities, and if you're so inclined, you can take advantage of the hotel's Relax and Rejuvinate spa-treatments in the comfort of your own room. A huge outdoor area is landscaped with palms and hibiscus and has a large freshwater pool as its centerpiece. It faces a popular boardwalk for runners and strollers as well as a large beach where watersports equipment is available. To sway you from leaving the premises, the Palms has an excellent beach service, a "PoolCierge," in which umbrellas, towels, lounges, and, of course, that tropical drink with a paper umbrella are just a short order away. Note: This hotel is not in South Beach, as the name would have you believe. However, it is in the heart of Miami Beach and is only a short ride to South Beach. The hotel now offers a "Palms and Parrots Family Package," a 2-night package featuring tickets for the entire family to Parrot Jungle Island in Miami Beach and includes a welcome basket of tropically-themed snacks for the kids.
Park Washington Hotel
The Park Washington, designed in the 1930s by Henry Hohauser, is a large, refurbished hotel just 2 blocks from the ocean that offers some of the best values in South Beach. Most of the rooms have original furnishings and well-kept interiors, and some have kitchenettes. Bathrooms are small but clean. Guests also enjoy a decent-size outdoor heated pool with a sun deck, bikes for rent, and access to a nearby health club, as well as privacy, lush landscaping, consistent quality, and a value-oriented philosophy. This hotel attracts a large gay clientele.
