Discovering Cuban Cuisine at Marabou in Brickell
My friend’s wedding was slated to start terribly late into the evening, because Cuban weddings and Miami heat…so we opted for a big, late lunch to tide us over. The Gentleman was hoping for Cuban cuisine, and as we were staying in Brickell, we landed on Marabou in the city center. Wood fired everything, a…
Ultimate Four Seasons Miami Experience: A Honeymoon Retreat
After the drive back to Miami, we dropped the rental and headed to the Four Seasons with reckless abandon as it was the first time staying at one of our beloved brunch properties. Staying as part of the wedding group, this was probably the only way we’d ever be able to enjoy such a place,…
Jaya at The Setai- Miami
On our final evening in Miami, we celebrated my 40th birthday with a very upmarket dinner and an “Asian Bazaar Night” which was meant to have some sort of performances. Sounded kind of weird, we were in! Having dined and enjoyed drinks around the elegant Setai lobby in years passed, I was absolutely shocked when…
Esme Rooftop- Miami
The first night of our Miami girly weekend brought us to the Esme Hotel, recommended by several friends for well… all of their common spaces. The hotel was beautiful and with so much lovely, dim lighting we seemed to have spend a gorgeous evening there and took about zero photos. We dined on the rooftop…

Upon arriving at the hotel, the vibe was just right, the lobby was clean, elegant and well designed. We were…
Byblos- Miami
During a week-long work trip in Miami while staying at The Royal Palm South Beach, I managed to dine at Byblos two nights in a row before the work commitments really started. The restaurant is beautiful with lots of fun plates for sharing. This made it a challenge as a solo diner, but two meals…
1 Hotel South Beach
So, I finalllllly had my weekend away at the gorgeous 1 Hotel South Beach. I must say, I visited several times back when it was the Gansevoort, and it is much lovelier now. Rather than take photos of random people in swimwear enjoying the pools, etc., I thought perhaps you could just find some much…
Bienvenue à Miami
A crummy string of events last Friday had me jonsing for some good girlfriends. I reached out to the Miami crew to see who might be in town this weekend. Turns out everyone was (and responded immediately) and even the kids from NYC were around! A flight booked and 30 minutes to shower and pack……
