Miami. One of the fastest changing cities in the US has more than postcard beaches and pastel-colored Art Deco façades. Its history is of booms and busts, reclaimed swamps, hurricanes, and crime waves. Throw in a diverse mix of communities and there’s a rich panorama to explore. The arrival of Art Basel turned Miami into a dynamic arts hub, with galleries regenerating Wynwood and now Little Haiti. Cocktail bars have exploded and the trashy South Beach scene of old has been turned on its head by fresh music venues. Slow food pioneers have raised the dining level, but there’s as much fun to be had exploring the street food scene—from Haitian seafood, Cuban sandwiches and Caribbean curries to Jewish delis and Argentine asado. In Miami you can eat something new three times a day, seven days a week. Oysters in a 1930s gas station, fashion in a concrete carpark, art on the waterfront, Cuban juices, Haitian voodoo, a Nicaraguan gastro park… Get lost in the city of deco sunsets Includes 5 long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their relationship with Miami and their absolute favorite spots in town A selection of the hottest places to visit in two of the city’s most charismatic neighborhoods A selection of our top picks for the entire city A selection of diary entries about life on South Beach in the 1990s A photo showcase filled with surreally quotidian scenes by Ivan Santiago An original piece of fiction by Geoffrey Philp Recommended books, films & music to get you in the Miami state of mind Paperback Size: 8.25 x 6.25 x 0.25 (inches)
