To preserve Connecticut's modern house preservationist plea

Other day I received email me homesick-in I'm home.

The writer was a classmate in elementary school, not seen in decades. After the death of her mother, her around 1955, part of Leetes Island, Guilford Connecticut shoreline builds her parents is to sell the House.

First email some photos is displayed in the House she did not just stone coastline, seaweed's Lawn and hedges. Jagged site responses to easily rather calm, modern structure, a pure form, not shown to subsequent pictures.

Today, whisper, but remember what daring acts. Guildford, colonial stronghold. Displayed as anything built after 1840, a little vulgar and I grew dates from 1770 rental deserted. Receive Leetes's bizarre look at modern house Island ride my bike because it is.

House set was when built jagged look stone, ground pink sophisticated gray that is part of the development of production, a famous granite quarries. From this quarry stone was used as other landmark Brooklyn Bridge of the statue of liberty, New York.

Ayn Rand's 1943 numbers about the architecture of the novel roots, heavily symbolic Connecticut granite quarry of models have: "it's a simple world of plane curves, grass, Earth world stone, sharp edges and angles. Welding patients at the bottom of the wind and tides century was done the stone; depth unknown was coming slowly from cooling molten material; and fling the forcing of the Earth have been cooked and is still on its shelves hold the form of violence against men's violence. ?

I few years ago, neighborhood driving, soft, I remember, but it was wrested from this location to patch a flat smooth rock to build Earth 90 miles away, a great city to cut the sharp angles, memories more environment-friendly.

Live in the shape of the House. After the phone conversation, architects worked closely the mother of my classmates and her three daughters went to school, and became the architectural historian told me. Selected attributes of my classmates for her own career — as environmental education — home setting.

The looking at the pictures on your computer screen, I almost salt to taste, is may feel the wind stirs the sound. To I can't afford to covet this House, my classmates keep it it is for her practical or not thinking. However, sharing the fate of its modern neighbors if she is she sells it is to build something bigger than glitz, its land and its history responsive torn fear. Is considered in 2,500 square feet, like this fine waterfront sites for less.

I someone and know that she buy it who asked the optimistic vision and environmental sensitivity is intact?

Well, I?

Mark Ingram: why the Miami Dolphins to should not draft PA star-bleacher report execution

TUSCALOOSA, AL - NOVEMBER 26: Mark Ingram #22 of the Alabama Crimson Tide rushes for a touchdown against the Auburn Tigers at Bryant-Denny Stadium on November 26, 2010 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)Ingram No.1 machine headlong 3 117 yards and touchdowns 42 alone for three seasons, the Crimson Tide marks.

It is made out of the way now: I am Auburn Tigers fan.

I hate with a passion for the Crimson Tide. Bored by winning everything all defeat joyously celebrate. But why I mark Ingram, dolphins Jersey 04-held not to do.

Doesn't bother me and Auburn fans more than my dolphins fan and I absolutely any University, Dolphin becomes, went to the man.

I Terrence Cody fine drafting dolphins in 2010 will slip.

Man I thought most of the first Roland McLean Auckland him ago the round of last year.

I give DeMeco Ryans or Jarrett Johnson any day.

I disgust of the tide as Auburn fans why backup running don't dolphins draft mark Ingram is not. Quite simply, perform a backup is because they are not likely drafting needs team to ensure enough players special selection value Ingram of most first-round that.

Doesn't mean is not needed to run dolphins, backup.

Have spent the early part of the offseason throw out Ricky Williams, dolphins and the Director of radio waves and is planned for Ronnie Brown free agency. Lock both in 2011, to return to the team and they are both a long term solution.

82529011_original_crop_340x234By combining a career of more than 14,000 yards Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown to suddenly come end of playing dolphins as the upcoming free agent.
Marc Serota / Getty Images

He is a free agent talent not starting anyway Patrick Cobbs also.

Lex Hilliard carrying at least one of the year 2010, but should be exclusive rights free agent and he is not shown something three Pro seasons, and failed to register.

Dan spent and ready for the 2010 sheet all injuries, damaged Achilles tendon and just carry the one career offers.

Dolphins only one probably must two new running back 2011. Type can be able to catch the backfield ball like cancellation Bruiser how Brown yards, you can perform Darren Sproles - people between the tackles, can they desperately, Williams, was over the past few years.

However, Ingram is not the answer.

5-Foot - 10 215 pounds rushing yard season as a student back set the school record, was a stellar producer. He has caught and natural ability of vision outstanding rushing the ball shoot backfield.

Quite simply, Ingram's damn good backups running.

But I does not take into account the Adrian Peterson comes out Ingram Chris Johnson and university level. He does not have an outstanding speed and athleticism, and NFL's elite to see all the physical tools are not reflected.

He runs can expect to be successful like Marion Barber III someone only solid, physical kind of backup.

If up to me, said, "here's mark Ingram. He is costly. Can you back he started ", is on board a heartbeat I's. slip. I frankly are right Ingram and NFL start backup and productivity, all talent in the world you tell that I think.

Exclude important, Sanders and Walter Paytons, world and in most cases the attack line back in NFL.

It does really the best backup the way at the University level. Line help you to be sure, but back, just against them 10 9 times out of 10 would better than defenders. NFL to sniff so far, in many cases it is not trying to work together.

In the professional, things are different.

It is also will face in College, defense of all that, and how talent is running Backup anywhere, productive offensive line without going to aren't, more than 1000000 times.

We attack many just hurry to Ricky Williams one touchdown and Ronnie Brown 2010 carrying a dolphin in the NFL suddenly learned joined one of the best come after a dismal 3.7-yard average only per year.

Dolphins use to shave $ 50 contract than Jake Grove filled experienced no experience, injury-prone and Justin smiley off. Long term, it was probably good decision.

Team in the 2010 free agent left guard and Richie incognito is a Artisan Center Joe Berger and rookie right guard John Jerry look is the team most effective contest can forward spent the season.

Dolphins in Dolphin backfield input problem until they need to fix these issues, Exchange is not.

But they do not correct the offensive line is not necessarily high paid Ingram as drafted backup do not. They can easily find one round in the draft.

This year sees the two best run backup all football: NFL leader Arian foster and broken tackles leader LeGarrette. Hurry Blount. Both went undrafted, both stellar season 2010 good block before, I was grateful.

Look what Peyton Hillis and Mike Tolbert defense tore up against in 2010.

Note the round 7 and the fourth-giant recently giving a serious one-punch. When he was in the Pop Warner probably similarly Ingram 1 combination of many talented and the backfield 14-look at the New England Patriots.

High mark Ingram 2011 NFL draft goes? perhaps and of is.

He is necessarily the top 3 don't you expect to go to the crack, but in the first round of he probably has round busts of timeless luxury, Patriots team.

At no. 15, picking, dolphin, too, needs many other quarterback, receiver, Center, guard and linebacker, safety one position is a good line, and productivity of high, here he is going to nothing but his University were filmed? no one position is one you will find in the NFL, but is easiest, consider.

Gallery young artists like has living in S. e. guin Montreal, familial relationship between Petri dish Weinberg. Unlike the S é guin holds in his own family Brooklyn, apartment, only and has lived ten years of his art. He was also already in Montreal and New York galleries represented. So why in the Committee someone's experience to create or? S é guin claim is specifically because of lack of his experience.

"The same paint shows artists how to hang," and completely trust his feelings of color and space arrangement he says. It is his description of curating is lack of pretentious and scientific process. Specifically this belief that the level of hope to the world of art.

Just same as Weinberg hero for Mythos Petri dish Gagosian and Emmanuel perrotin, name collectors trust supports stimulus. 1 Petri dish, Weinberg, in his own name, running similar cache, himself is preparing for the inevitable as his Helvetica press article bare bones, a simple black and white background to carry only the name of the Gallery I would like.

Best of both worlds: architecture and nature co-exist happily architect Max: Strang in 1952 Update home

Read Todd Sandoval, "Coconut Grove Pinecrest," when I saw the real estate ad he was worth watching this House knew. He is in his little house, love around the lush, grassy, must freedom be given more space, elsewhere by he. Considering the right home, he thought, you can leverage this one killer combination.

Tucked away behind the oak trees and gumbo limbo was a 1952 one-story Ranch oolitic limestone and cypress House. 50 Could age hasn't been updated since he fell in love with the House immediately. Hours later, he was.

Was born, grew up in Fort Lauderdale, from Hialeah Sandoval, his father told the family behavior of saw palmetto Motorsports owner. Over the years, he is in the work of the architect Alfred Browning Parker, Coconut Grove area prolific admirer. Get renovation 2,700 sq ft home Pinecrest to 3 years what he to notice similarities in structure could not Yes Sandoval, had to Parker's work. Architect of record, Vincent Grimm who did close find Sandoval Parker and some Miami-based projects. Sandoval is a Parker still working in Gainesville, Florida, this House one cannot ensure that these collaborative project that was, I believe. "Ventilate the whole roof tell-tale sign that," he says. Regardless, he he strays from the original architect's plans didn't knew.

So he raised, with the help of Miami up: the architect of the Strang. History of work at the old House of Strang, the company is limestone House itself and the native Florida material again to work hard. He describes it as "a special kind of ranch house" House history honor give updates of modern it deserves a critical solutions were proposed.

"Often, old house job offer": Strang says. "All that was required for the surrounding open some very strategic move". Most dramatic adjustments included removal of the wall between the front entrance, separate kitchen and living room. What to push to create a space of more than one wall is a guest bedroom and the master. To add a light along the wall behind the three Windows replaced floor-to ceiling glass doors. They create a "pod," room in the floating room to master bathroom added four walls. Sandoval also his, so you can protect many toys transformation carport: two motorcycles, two boats and resin the renovation ' 65 Corvette:.

Floor plan is laid after the fall into place of Interior design is started. ", To start the design of the project itself": Strang says, "are doing things right you know". Sandoval alone since — Emma and stray dogs in his shop day wandering —: you want to design a Strang real Bachelor Pad: space of modern industry can accommodate visiting friends and family too. So they topped blue Sandoval favorite hue stainless steel of the GE Monogram appliances and maintenance of concrete, decided to complete a sleek, men with a large central island.

Inside the baseboard wall — these limestone was — was of was dyed dark old House is weathered and gray Cypress. Sandoval did apply sanded, bleaching oil naked State. Original limestone and wood pallets, all about the respect: Strang says. Play the unique Orange Stone, Sandoval Orange accent pillows and Ginger Orange rag Eldorado from chose the living room. They were caving in original gold mosaic fireplace tiles of gold from the trend United States Miami replicated. Family rooms, Office and kitchen from he is only one "of swing TV" of for watching TV in every room so found a space may be Bachelor Pad grain did not show goes against Sandoval. "Less is the whole idea," says Sandoval.

Masons to help his construction David good (also work with stone Kampung Coconut Grove) to also hired a spacious backyard pool. As a child of above ground pool, our neighbor was "says Sandoval. So, "I wanted one. He is like he is in unique ways for the patio area, especially the swimming pool, decided after the limestone tiles to shape. Oolitic limestone, materials dig and dig a pool while aspect-based save use replace on the keystone.

Plenty of delay in the Sandoval, landscaping "became a labor of love and he says" focus. He can take what you love about home from the day he discovered he was — and green setting, and organic — and it provides detailed information. 6 Dade County Sandoval 8, Palm trees, pine trees, 6 baldness as well as 20 locations and 20 oak trees was already gumbo limbo tree planted cypress trees, 2 Paurotis Palm trees, wild coffee, allspice, sea Daisy pigeon plum plant assortment. He removed non-native containing figs, rubber trees and corn plants, whatever.

I had hoped, Florida native Sandoval, "the old Florida cracker House as" is says Coconut Grove Pinecrest in other words, is his own slice.

Treasure trove: Miami Beach showcases architect David m. Schwartz pretty collection in the 1920s in art and design home

Would be perfect in Miami retiring so decided, not many years ago to Washington DC-based architect David m. Schwartz-eventually. He found, and home of the vast North Bay Road, Classic 1920 bought's Mediterranean style structure — "is Mediterranean pile probably call it," he jokes-, renovations over the years and had received a number of changes.

Complete the entrance of Germany businessman, private quarters, and most owners to set type compounds. "But that he goes out of another house one part from split, so couldn't get to share with another family. So everyone can understand them home very confusing, "and he says. "It became, like all circulation changes one House. ?

Entrance to fully leverage windows and Biscayne Bay and spectacular views of the Miami mainland property Schwartz also was expanded. His main goal, however, had a sense of intimacy and order 12, 000-plus sq ft House. He has his furniture, decorative objects, wanted a series of spaces of industrial design from the 1950s for the current period mainly focused on great crowd for entertaining formally and informally, and at the same time show compassion. Downstairs to either open rooms, which are all-such as living room, living room, library, dining room — of talented contemporary designers and artisans of eccentricity and experimentation and clean-lined, clear-thinking in an aesthetic shows respect. 2Nd floor, he added corridor House North and South end connections, equipped with 11 room key period works.

Today, House, including Chair of George Nakashima, Hans Wegner, Sigurdur Gustafson Schwartz or quite collection showcase; by Gio Ponti bar; Tagus River Valley Remy drawers Droog design; table of Frank Lloyd Wright and George Nelson; pottery Berndt Freiberg and Wilhelm-Kage; Luis Pons lighting by Ingo Maurer and Miami, also appear in the furniture line.

It pretty much covers period representative says is his collection of Schwartz. "Devised by people they have been laid out somehow to enrich the lives of all that. Theme of the collection is quite a lot, I had most of it in the vanguard of all designs, when targeting.

Adds a Director Wolfsonian-FIU Museum Director Cathy Leff, Schwartz: "an incredible, David Connoisseurship of design, and he, focusing on his own architectural practice he, he puts his domestic environment that focuses. In relation to museum collecting people really have interest.

Join the bridge to assist the development of the Schwartz collection close friends the aforementioned. Process began they met in 2003, shortly after — Schwarz's previous Miami Beach was Palm Island — 2 Design Gallery caused a thought began to scour the showroom Miami and New York to find treasures, and express ideas. Still other pieces — including an extensive collection of small Scandinavian ceramic works (New York dealer bought many covert) — was chosen purely aesthetic. Bridge, was inspired by my 1950 Venezuela Nordic furniture, pottery had a gallery's mother says I. "My our little piece of pottery reminded me of my mother's collection of these, he fell in love with. And the way we started — it has been a great collaboration ".

About the revamped layout, of course, know that, Schwartz or House 2 —, to say. Educated in Annapolis breeding in California, the St. John's University and Yale University School of architecture, he is David m. Schwartz architects more than 30 years ago builds on the power of established, architecture and urban planning. The first big project was at the forefront of the company, Washington, D.C. historic preservation movement from its beginnings, new office building 1718 was praised for the compatibility of the historic area of the newly specified in Connecticut Ave Dupont Circle; evolved from there as the practice Hall and professional sports facilities include major civic structures. Among them: bass performance Hall (Fort Worth); American Airlines Center (Dallas); the Schermerhorn Symphony Center (renovation of Nashville, severance Hall Cleveland Orchestra). Latest Committee, Smith Center performing arts in Las Vegas, in 2011, scheduled for completion.

It is opposed to planning of downtown Fort Worth, Texas, elevated highway project Schwartz billionaire developer was introduced to Robert-1980 was the beginning of the year 20. At the time from continuing businesses and residents with Fort Worth city was suffering from the suburbs. Agreed to the expert witness of historical bass Schwartz ultimately won. Proved a pivotal turning point in career Alliance young architects. Then soon after, Schwartz, bass family and restore and Fort Worth urban fabric, with a remake of an ongoing effort, has led to many new building project, the entire region and city leaders closely cooperation began.

"I do something to add really very important bass performance Hall, various infill building, library and any transformations that they as well as work done by the Fort Worth" said architect Robert a.m. Stern, Yale University School of architecture Dean is in. Save to convert downtown I actually do something new, to to create is a very important work that I support David's achievements.

Has been the foundation of commitment to Schwartz populist ideals and civil responsibility, the company's success. "I myself, neo-eclectic call. Architecture too often true recognition in the press towards getting public service, clients not provide for is, "and he says. "Is the only art should I display architecture people participate. You cannot refuse to see buildings and walk down the street. Is the public art and is responsible of the public in this way, I think. Must I firmly if an active user of the same building design and architecture, consider passive "and said.

Prior to reaching the retirement age is not connected to his personal and professional Miami home to the concept of getting Schwartz, good decade - and - his half of his desire to make friends, and community roots in advance often based on establishing. "I give to Art Basel branch each year. Including the very small things like 12 friends, "and he says. I'm pretty sure that's gotten how, not that much bigger than attending events.

At other times of the year, he was little and he hardly care quality time is spending and content. "This brings me joy. Shelter can bring to the group I with my friends and family of usually far away places, as well as one, "and says Schwartz. See about really I'm enjoying the comfort of the House of the people who love collecting. We eat outside cooking in the kitchen, and most nights, and catch up on each other's lives.

How to build a Cuba: mid century architecture, island country in traditional

Courtesy of Sven A. Kirsten Gibbs Smith

Decadent and mid-century Cuba: image girls, is probably dancing support hyperbolic movie, Godfather: II ("I know, that was you, Fredo!") and dolls. And hop flights to Havana is nothing like an exciting story of these tourists who returns after a night of too much the next morning. Vivid imagination that film in 1950s Cuba, forever banishing a nostalgic also was tempered by the substance until's — concrete, glass, steel that is. Since the fateful year new year's Eve 1958 and 1960's until the mid-to island great modern architecture was about.

Peter Moruzzi booking Havana before Castro: and thanks was Cuba tropical playground offers — and in hymn — constructs a unique environment of Cuba. Write what you consider almost expelled (structure to save great cities around mid-century) Palm Springs Modern Committee Moruzzi, architectural historian, founder of "genuine" Cuba has produced a hymn performance, lavish illustrations. Is all that mysterious realm — Street lining structure stylish swagger sand texture from the taste of coffee — unforgettable, in the United States better now.

In 1987, in Fort Lauderdale vacation while Moruzzi Tropicana nightclub, bought antique luxury brochure. Lit compelling to attract a huge collection of ??-related toy charm colorful ads, Havana's 20 years old.

Despite the Hispanic, non-Spain language speakers, Moruzzi pilgrimage Cuba was to see in 2007, the object of his affection. He rang the display photos through his wonderful book in addition to many of his memorabilia.

Due to the many Moruzzi, Havana, the godfather of Havana is of course known buildings of colonial dominates the landscape just: part 2. He spends a chapter on other Hilton Hotel Riviera Havana's unique and Havana and Cuba's stunning modern structures, housing, civil and commercial. What little wonders of amazing: all modern movement principles faithfully Cuba who was led to fruitful encounters with the giants of the integrated Richard Neutra, José Luis Sert, Le Corbusier, Mies van Rohe's architecture.

", Like on Earth is nothing more" about Marvel Moruzzi Havana Riviera. Foreign architect's presence known making and creative vocabulary of young local architects, honing was established. Among them, was a brilliant Max Borges Recio Mario Roma n ach, Nicholas Quintana (live, who continues to work in Miami, Cuban exile). That they provide, a fresh expression through an experiment addressing split cogently climate conditions split-levels and the national identity of thin shell concrete contorting, Interior.

Actually, according to Havana Guide, Cuba modernism's seminal text 2000, Mr., international style myself, came in 1956, architect Philip Johnson, public Cuba. To create his design, Meyer Lansky gang had soon become Hotel/Casino, Monaco is called. Awarded Board of Miami Igor Polevitzky, Vernon Johnson partner to heavy, and then, in the light of the concrete and glass Johnson concept that failed to impress in prickly Lansky. In 1957, the Riviera Havana — 21 story tall high, Y-shaped, air conditioning — completed. Grace to provide your own lapidusian stairs and stunning Sea Blue mosaic tile-covered lobby was the glamorous dash Hotels Miami Beach, down the Malecon where, Havana's seaside promenade.

Encouraged by the Moruzzi, to Riviera of many hours in freezing see very surprised. Now huge name but Florencio Gelabert and Cundo (that can be seen in the performing arts of Miami in the final work, Ziff Opera and ballet house Arsht Center, have been killed in 2008) is a major part of the artwork, including Bermudez the remained in place. Appearance of the hotel was almost intact and save reupholstering of decor is a little bit and was exactly the same and relocation, and Meyer Lansky walked.

Breathtaking Riviera, but was one of a slew of architectural innovation structures and the island blossomed during 1940s and 1950s. Havana Hilton, Los Angeles firm Welton Beckett and Associates, create, (, except that the trader Vic's Polynesian themed restaurant) opened 1958 was all Cubans inside. Changed headquarters of Fidel Castro and his minions housing it in Havana, an ironic CODA island name as powerful symbols of American intervention the in early 1959.

Was the owner carries the design approach of the members of the company of interior designer James McQuaid, Beckett and comes from all the material from the makers of Cuba, the Hilton delegation run dual challenge. McQuaid now lives in Los Angeles in his 90s, two years, he had spent in site Havana, many challenges, says of the design experience of the best in the end of his life. And it was a lot of great work of children with disabilities, but he says, I it very proud. Clean-lined fabric, curtains and furniture he created for the hotel. Choosing including the artists he also have a structure and René Portocarrero, Amelia Arietta pel, Ez, Interior and exterior mural to decorate top talent-the mesh bliss Cuba elements and modern design.

Since it opened in Hilton McQuaid Havana to return has not been yearns to back him, but (Hotel Arietta pel á Ez mural recently restored, and he said the company renovated lobby Spain). "I want to live in Cuba. Is it absolutely beautiful, the climate is ideal for the notes he is.

It is not only McQuaid course. Moruzzi's book, already in its second printing, memories and, once and the call recall Cuba can once again be the passion. Yet if time and, to many of the buildings of Governments, Island not hospitable. Designed by Richard Neutra and some ultra modern home, such as the one House remains as it acts as a diplomatic residences. Superannuation and other dangerous is the danger of extinction.

Yet, architects, helps bring to fruition, historians pretty much helpless without the clock away from, no doubt waiting for what fate Cuba century modern structure. Eventually saved and restored? Finally, talented architects to get for myself. Moruzzi notes that Cuban daily struggle to survive, many special environment, contemplating to spend the time, but to the rest of the people of the world hasn't understanding of the importance of these structures.

Miami is often portrayed as a mere playground for twentysomethings. In fact, this versatile city/county offers bliss to mature, moneyed adults seeking luxury, culture, a quiet refuge, fine dining and sophistication with their sunny vacation.
Key Biscayne -- A Tranquil Isle Near Downtown Miami
800-acre Crandon Park takes up the top third of the seven-mile long, two-mile wide island of Key Biscayne. Its Tennis Center hosts the annual Sony Ericsson Open (March 21 - April 3 2011), which attracts major men's (Roddick, Federer, Nadal) and women's (Venus, Serena, Kim Clisters) tennis champions and 300,000 fans. The birds-eye-view center stadium, easy-access practice courts and concession stands that sell items like fried grouper on a bed of lettuce make the center feel intimate. Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne offers a championship 18-hole public golf course surrounded by water and mangroves. Crandon Park's two-mile long beaches are blessed with placid waters, walkways, picnic spots and a marina.

Just past the small village of Key Biscayne, the main road enters Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park home to 50 butterfly and 170 bird species. Fishing, swimming, hiking, biking, picnicking and sunbathing are ideal here on a site Ponce de Leon dubbed "Cape of Florida" in 1513. The beaches are unusually quiet during the winter months. Climb the 109-step spiral iron staircase to the top of stately Cape Florida Lighthouse (ca. 1825), oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County, and you'll get panoramic views of Miami and the teal blue ocean.
Stay Here: The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne looks like someone plunked a swank, ultra-elegant Beverly Hills hotel down on a pristine beach. The pale yellow building, with heavily marbled interiors, has 450 guestrooms, a 21-room spa (try the 80-minute Baborganic Body Treatment), two pools, and four dining venues (the fish tacos at the Mexican-themed Cantina Beach restaurant should be washed down with one of the 85 premium brand tequilas). You can meet locals at the tennis clinics run by the gregarious Mark Chellas at the 11-court Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center.

Bustling Downtown and Midtown Miami
Office buildings, condos, major hotels and palm trees line busy Brickell Avenue as it runs through downtown Miami which looks clean, urban yet tropical. At night, locals head to the neighborhood of Mary Brickell Village to dine at Rosa Mexicano (for the guacamole and ribs) or the Oceanaire Seafood Room (seared Costa Rican Mahi Mahi "Louie" with jumbo lump crab meat, dirty rice and caper beurre blanc). Or they head further north to the Wynwood Arts District, for the monthly Second Saturdays Gallery Walk, 7pm to 10pm, when crowds clog the streets streaming in and out of art galleries and shops. Stop by the Wynwood Kitchen & Bar to view stunning murals of international social activists, then stay for their desserts: brownies with rum raisin ice cream topped with caramel.

Places to Go, Things to See: Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts (Hair, Whoopi Goldberg, Miami City Ballet); Miami Art Museum for shows like The Wilderness (March 27 - June 26) and Rivane Neuenschwander: A Day Like Any Other (July 17 - October 16); Rubell Family Art Collection exhibits works by Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel, Jean-Michel Basquiat; American Airlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat and Lebron James.

A Tropical Hotel Oasis in the Middle of the Business District: The 221 spacious guest rooms at Four Seasons Hotel Miami have spectacular views of Biscayne Bay. The vast 7th floor terrace has swimming pools, lush landscaping and cabanas that offer respite from city life. The Sunday brunch at Acqua Restaurant, arguably the best in Miami, serves the tenderest short ribs in the world. And if the calorie overload gives you guilt, head downstairs to the cavernous Sports Club/LA.
South Beach - Where Adults Can Run Wild Too!
The Jersey Shore cast has left South Beach -- it's now safe for grown-ups. Skip trendy, youth-orientated Ocean Drive, make the 10-block Lincoln Road pedestrian promenade your base as you walk by shops, cafes, restaurants theaters, galleries and experience people watching equal to that in Piazza San Marco in Venice or Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA.
Where to Go: Events in South Beach are easy to access and rarely sold out, so you can often buy tickets impromptu. The New World Symphony and its surrounding campus were designed by Frank Gehry, and will have a Grand Opening Gala on January 29th; Founder/Artistic Director Michael Tilson Thomas is proud of the new symphony space. The Miami Convention Center hosts the Antique Show, Miami Wine Expo, South Florida Auto Show and the world-renowned Art Basel Miami Beach. The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater, once a performance spot for groups like The Doors, now presents artists like Jorge Drexler, Jon Secada and La Ballet Grand Prix. Tennis players flock to the 17 Hart-Tru clay courts in Flamingo Park. The stone therapies at the Uhma Spa will soothe your soul and rock you to sleep.
Restaurants Aplenty: It's best to heed recommendations if you want superior cuisine for your dining dollars in South Beach, so ask around: The Spanish infused cuisine at Soleà, W Hotel serves delectable tapas (huevo frito con patatas, jamon y setas = Iberico ham and a fried egg served over wafer thin, house made crispy potatoes, chanterelle mushrooms and truffle oil) and the rack of lamb is dynamite. The Italian eatery Quattro, on Lincoln Rd., features a delicious veal chop prepared Milanese style, served on the bone with fresh tomatoes and arugula. The pan seared prime New York steak, with red bliss potato, cippolini onion, blue cheese, radicchio and red wine syrup at Wish restaurant is absolutely succulent.

A Room With a View: Location, location, Location! The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach is at the end of Lincoln Rd., on the most famous stretch of beach in Florida and faces the Atlantic Ocean. Its new interior, with 375 guestrooms, is housed in a venerable 1953, Morris Lapidus-designed, landmark building. The Olympic-sized pool, the open-air DiLido Beach Club café (dine on Florida Snapper on lentil salad, with fresh garbanzo and basmati rice crisp), the spa (all hail the rhythm massage) and the Ritz's celebrity-laden beach make it the place to stay. If Leonardo DiCaprio walks by, it's a normal day.
Key Biscayne, Downtown Miami and South Beach offer unique settings and escapes that are way too mature and highbrow for Snooki and The Situation, but perfect for discerning adults.
