During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Barnacle State Historic Site
The former home of naval architect and early settler Ralph Middleton Munroe is now a museum in the heart of Coconut Grove. It's the oldest house in Miami and it rests on its original foundation, which sits on 5 acres of hardwood and landscaped lawns. The house's quiet surroundings, wide porches, and period furnishings illustrate how Miami's first snowbird lived in the days before condo-mania and luxury hotels. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable state park employees offer a wealth of historical information to those interested in quiet, low-tech attractions like this one. Call for details on the fabulous monthly moonlight concerts during which folk, blues, or classical music is presented and picnicking is encouraged.
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.
Diaspora Vibe Art Gallery
This culturally charged art complex is a funky artist hangout and is the home to some of the greatest artworks of Miami's diverse Caribbean, Latin American, and African-American cultures. The gallery has two seasons of shows, often focusing on emerging artists. During the winter, three artists are selected by the gallery to travel to and exhibit their works in Paris. On the last Friday of every month, from May through October, the gallery holds its fabulous cocktail-infused "Final Fridays." A new artist's work is spotlighted inside, while outside in the courtyard are live music performances and readings of poetry and folk tales. Delicious Caribbean cuisine is also served while the who's who of Miami's cognoscenti gather here to recharge their cultural batteries.
Abbey Hotel
This charming, off-the-beaten-path, '40s-revival boutique hotel is possibly the best deal on the entire beach. A haven for artists looking for quiet inspiration, the Abbey has recently undergone a $2.5 million renovation that restored its original Deco glory. Soft, white-covered chairs and candles grace the lobby, which doubles as a chic Mediterranean-style restaurant (earning an "exceptional" from the Miami Herald), the Abbey Dining Room. Rooms are furnished with oversized earth-toned chairs and chrome beds that are surprisingly comfortable. It's extremely quiet at this hotel, as it is located in the midst of a sleepy residential neighborhood, but it's only 1 block from the beach and within walking distance of the Jackie Gleason Theater, the Convention Center, the Bass Museum of Art, and the Miami City Ballet.
Mandarin Oriental, Miami
Corporate big shots and celebrities not in the mood for the South Beach spotlight here have a high-end luxury hotel to stay in while wheeling and dealing their way through Miami. Catering to business travelers, conventioneers, big time celebrities (J-Lo, Jacko, and so on), and the occasional leisure traveler who doesn't mind spending in excess of $500 a night for a room, the swank Mandarin Oriental features a waterfront location, residential-style rooms with Asian touches (most with balconies), and several upscale dining and bar facilities. The waterfront view of the city is the hotel's best asset, both priceless and absolutely stunning. Much of the hotel's staff was flown in from Bangkok and Hong Kong to demonstrate the hotel's unique brand of superattentive Asian-inspired service. The hotel's two restaurants, the high-end Azul and the more casual Café Sambal, are up to Mandarin standards and are both wonderful, as is the 15,000-square-foot The Spa at Mandarin Oriental in which traditional Thai massages and Ayurvedic treatments are your tickets to nirvana. At press time, the Mandarin Oriental Miami had just opened its 20,000-foot white sand beach club, complete with beds with white cushions and canopies, beach butlers, and beachside cabana treatments, which is nice considering the hotel is 15 minutes from the beach. Celeb tidbit: Michael Jackson felt it necessary to autograph one of the paintings inside his suite even though he didn't paint it.
Hotel Astor
Cozy-mod best describes this diminutive Deco hotel built in 1936. A 1995 renovation greatly improved on the original design of this simple three-story property, which has hosted the likes of Cameron Diaz and Madonna, and a 2002 renovation, which added a more urban, industrial feel to the place with dark woods, backlit glass, and very sleek contemporary furniture, continues to attract a lively local crowd to the small but sleek lobby bar and basement level hot spot, Metro Kitchen + Bar. Though the hotel hasn't been as sceney (a la the Delano) as it once was, it has already begun to experience a hipster revival thanks to the fact that Metro, as it's more commonly known, is co-owned by Nicola Siervo, the owner of South Beach's celeb central Mynt. Another plus is that what used to be a minute pool has been converted into an outdoor dining garden.The hotel's rooms are still small but very soothing, featuring plush and luxurious details -- brand new Frette linens and towels, new carpeting, funky custom mood lighting with dimmer switches, and incredibly plush mattresses that are difficult to leave. I especially recommend the rooms overlooking the courtyard, for their views and for a bit more serenity than that which is afforded in rooms overlooking the street. Views are probably the worst thing about this hotel, as most rooms face the street or a neighboring seedy hotel. The hotel staff is known for its extreme attentiveness -- especially Arturo, the hotel's Cheers-y bartender who actually knows everybody's names and their drinks of choice. Celeb alert: Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, the irksome Hilton sisters, DMC from Run DMC, and dubious celeb O. J. Simpson have all been spotted hanging at Metro Kitchen + Bar.
