During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Miami Metrozoo
This 290-acre, sparsely landscaped complex (it was devastated by Hurricane Andrew) is quite a distance from Miami proper and the beaches -- about 45 minutes -- but worth the trip. Isolated and never really crowded, it's also completely cageless -- animals are kept at bay by cleverly designed moats. This is a fantastic spot to take younger kids (the older ones seem bored and unstimulated here); there's a wonderful petting zoo and play area, and the zoo offers several daily programs designed to educate and entertain. Mufasa and Simba (of Disney fame) were modeled on a couple of Metrozoo's lions. Other residents include two rare white Bengal tigers, a Komodo dragon, rare koala bears, a number of kangaroos, and an African meerkat. The air-conditioned Zoofari Monorail tour offers visitors a nice overview of the park. An Andean Condor exhibit opened in 2000, and the zoo is always upgrading its facilities, including the impressive aviary. Note: The distance between animal habitats can be great, so you'll be doing a lot of walking here. For this reason, there are benches and shaded gazebos strategically positioned throughout the zoo so you can rest when you need to. Also, because the zoo can be miserably hot during summer months, plan these visits in the early morning or late afternoon. Expect to spend about 3 hours here.
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.
Heritage Miami II Topsail Schooner
This relaxing ride aboard Miami's only tall ship is a fun way to see the city, since it's on a schooner (as opposed to the other tour company's cruising boats), which gives you more of a feel of the water. The 2-hour cruise passes by Villa Vizcaya, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne and puts you in sight of Miami's spectacular skyline and island homes. Call to make sure the ship is running on schedule. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, there are 1-hour tours to see the lights of the city, for $15 per person.
Brigham Gardens
In a prime location, this funky place, consisting of two buildings (Art Deco and Mediterranean) is a homey and affordable oasis run by a mother-daughter team that will make sure you feel like a member of the family. Because most rooms have full kitchens -- you can also barbecue in the garden -- you'll find many people staying for longer than a weekend. Room 12, in particular, is extremely charming and quiet, with cathedral ceilings, Art Deco decor, and views of the garden. When you enter the tropically landscaped garden, you'll hear macaws and parrots and see cats and lizards running through the bougainvillea. The tiny but lush grounds are framed by quaint Mediterranean buildings, which are pleasant, though in need of some improvements. A rooftop sun deck, with a view of the ocean, is the hotel's newest attraction, though the rooms are constantly being spruced up with funky artwork, furniture, and a colorful array of fresh paint.
The Delano
Before Ian Schrager revamped (emphasis on the vamp) the neighboring The Shore Club hotel, the Delano was the reigning force in the hierarchy of hip hotel royalty. But that was then. Today, the Delano, a place where smiles from staffers were as rare as snow in Miami, is kinder and gentler, which, for some, takes away the whole cache of staying here. But it certainly still is amusing to look at -- with 40-foot sheer white billowing curtains hanging outside, mirrors everywhere, Adirondack chairs, and faux-fur-covered beds. The rooms are done up sanitarium style: sterile, yet terribly trendy, in pure white save for a perfectly crisp green Granny Smith apple in each room -- the only freebie you're going to get here. A bathroom renovation recently took place in all of the rooms -- but they remain small and spartan.An attractive, white-clad staff looks as if they were hand picked from last month's Vogue. While they may sigh if you ask for something, eventually they'll get it for you. The gym here is great, but it costs $15 a day, even if you are a guest. The fantastic wading pool, thankfully, is free, but get out early to snag a chair. The Blue Door restaurant, formerly part-owned by Madonna, serves lots of attitude with its pricey haute cuisine, and for a quick bite of pricey sashimi, grab a seat at the communal eat-in-kitchen table at Blue Sea, the hotel's superb sushi bar. The lobby's Rose Bar is command central for the chic elite who don't flinch at paying in excess of $10 for a martini. Salvation from the hotel's mod version of Age of Innocence-esque social mores (or lack thereof) is Agua, the rooftop spa, where, if you can afford it, an hour massage while overlooking the ocean is blissful.Facilities: 3 restaurants (featuring the acclaimed Blue Door); bar; large outdoor pool; state-of-the-art David Barton gym; extensive watersports equipment; children's programs; concierge; business center; room service; in-room massage; same-day dry-cleaning and laundry services.
The Kent
For a funky boutique hotel in the heart of South Beach, The Kent is quite a deal. All rooms feature blond wood floors and ultra modern steel furnishings and accessories, which surprisingly aren't cold, but rather inviting and whimsical. The staff is eager to please and the clientele comes largely from the fashion industry. Frequent photo shoots are coordinated in the lobby and conference room, where full office services are available. The Barbara Hulanicki decor is high on the kitsch factor, heavy on multicolored Lucite with toys and other assorted articles of whimsy, and even if you can't afford to stay in it, the very James Bond-esque Lucite Suite is a must-see. There's no pool or sun deck, but you're only 1 block from the beach here.
