Where to celebrate Father’s Day in Miami

●  Beaches

1. Crandon Park Beach on Biscayne: an idyllic paradise nestled at the entrance of Biscayne. This beach stands out by its stunning landscapes and the differents activities suitable for all the family members. You’ll find volleyball courts, eco-adventures, picnic areas, kayak tours, and watersports classes.

It’s a perfect place for nature-lovers, because Crandon Park is home to exotic birds, parrots, iguanas and peacocks. If you are planning to stay the entire weekend, you can rent a cabana in the Park.

2. Fort Lauderdale Beach: take dad to celebrate Father’s Day in Miami as a local would. Coming to Fort Lauderdale Beach is a mixed plan that involves having fun by the sea and discovering the “small city” around. You’ll find many free activities, different food options, and other commercial places such as Las Olas Boulevard.

3. Matheson Hammock Park Beach: located in South Miami, Matheson Hammock is a family-friendly beach where dad and mom can have some time of relaxation, while kids are safe in the artificial lagoon. This place stands out by its safety control and the really nice picnic areas.

The Museum of Ice Cream in Miami

Could you imagine a place where you could try every ice-cream flavor in the world, watch colorful art with ice-cream as the main concept, swim in a sprinkle pool and swing on a giant banana? This past December, the Museum of Ice-cream opened its doors temporarily in Miami Beach (in Faena District), and the tickets sold out in a matter of hours. Apparently, if it were still open, it would still be very difficult to get tickets due to the massive amount of people wanting to go there. Thousands of visitors of all ages (both tourists and locals) came to this museum and felt like young children once more, while they tried all their favorite ice cream flavors. It might have been the sugar rush, but many of them even danced during this colorful experience.

Pink palm trees, giant ice cream cones, sprinkle pool and hundreds of original and even exotic ice cream flavors filled this 4-story museum. One month wasn’t enough, but they promised to open their doors again soon, so everyone who couldn’t find tickets the first time may have the opportunity to witness this unique event. For now, you can check thousands of pictures of both kids and adults on a banana swing, many positive reviews about the delicious ice cream flavors they actually give you in one of the main rooms of the museum, and what seems to be one of the coolest things on earth: a sprinkle pool where you can dive in if you dare (actually you can’t, but you can dip in your feet and take a picture).

Most visitors came because of their unconditional love for ice cream, but let’s not forget that it’s indeed a museum where numerous art pieces are exposed, and every last detail in every part of the tour was perfectly thought to make the experience unique, fun and unforgettable. The creator of this museum believes that ice cream is one of the most creative foods, and that it deserves to be celebrated because of the countless hours of flavorful joy it has brought to the history of mankind in every corner of the world. And to celebrate its universality, you can even have kosher, vegan, gluten-free, or sugar-free ice creams so everyone can enjoy.

It was a success in San Francisco and New York City, and Miami was no different. Everyone is looking forward to its reopening, and hopefully next time it will stay open for more than a month, so that everyone can have the opportunity to visit one of the coolest and most original places in America; the Museum of Ice Cream!

Miami’s Restaurants Keep Getting Better

Miami is so full of dining options; some of the best chefs in the world are now living here, and they are delighting us with their culinary art. Restaurants in Miami keep getting better and better every day. On this occasion, we are going to talk about restaurants located in SLS Brickell, an oasis of fresh flavors in one of the hottest spots in town.

   

James Beard Award-Winning chef Michael Schwartz brings us Fi’lia, a modern piece of Italy right in Miami. A fresh perspective of Italian cuisine right in the Caribbean is an amazing luxury, and everyone in Miami will be talking about it in no time. Fi’lia introduces artisanal bread and pasta to satisfy even the most sophisticated palates. If you want to have an unbelievable breakfast, order the Roasted Mushroom Fritatta: caramelized onions, goat cheese, herbs and toasted ciabatta (Italian white bread). If you rather have lunch, we strongly recommend you to order their famous Beef Carpaccio (sunchoke, green onion, pecorino, mustard vinaigrette) next to their Pistachio Pesto (house made ricotta, charred onion, and pecorino). We guarantee you’ll come back. 

Another James Beard Award-Winning chef, José Andrés, brings us his fabulous concepts and unique perspective of seafood. At Bazaar Mar, you can enjoy all the classics of the ocean like ceviches, tiraditos, seaweeds, crab, lobster and a variety of fish, always emphasizing in Caribbean species. José Andrés always accompanies his delicious dishes with his collection of wines from all over the world to create the perfect mood. If you want to brunch like a king, order a Marinero for you and your companions, and you will enjoy crudos, ceviches, tiraditos and caviar, all next to refreshing Möet & Chandon Brut champagne. For dinner, you should definitely try the “Croquetas de Bacalao” (Cod Croquettes) with José’s Asian Taco (Ibérico ham, cured hamachi, osetra caviar, Korean seaweed and ginger).  Taste the ocean in the most unique way with José Andrés’ cuisine.  

Miami is raising the bar for America’s restaurants, and has now become a center for the culinary arts, another great reason to live in this beautiful city. And now, with Miami Riches, your dreams of moving here can become true!
