The ATA Chronicle - May/June 2023 - 12

Arts and Entertainment
If arts and entertainment
are your thing, you've
come to the right place!
Miami's performing arts
venues boast top classical
and indie dance, theater,
music, and art shows.
Get tickets to the hottest
shows at the Adrienne
Arscht Center for the
Performing Arts and its
gorgeous Ziff Opera House
and Knight Center. Miami
has become an art and
design destination. While
Art Basel takes place in
December, Miami's art
scene is year-round! Head
out to Wynwood Arts
District and the Miami
Design District and witness
this vibrant visual arts
scene-from galleries and
museums to public art and
graffiti art! You can catch
Sunday tours, walking
tours, or even self-guided
tours. One of my favorites
spaces is the Perez Art
Museum. Its collections
focus, quite uniquely, on
international art of the
20th and 21st centuries
highlighting Miami's
diverse community and
pivotal geographic location
at the crossroads of the
Americas. It's also the
place to see the work of
emerging local artists. Its
ocean vistas from different
corners of the building, its
singular architecture, and
the delicious fare at Verde,
its on-site restaurant
overlooking Biscayne Bay,
make it a special place to
visit! Finally, right next
door, don't miss the Philip
and Patricia Frost Science
Museum with its threelevel
aquarium.

Food and Culinary Diversity
Last but not least, if you enjoy food and culinary diversity,
Miami has an exciting array of eateries for every foodie!
The restaurant choices mentioned below are completely
subjective, as I'm only pointing out places my friends,
family, and I have visited and enjoyed. Miami's famous
Joe's Stone Crab is a compulsory stop during any visit to
Miami. For over 100 years, the guest list has included the
likes of Al Capone, J. Edgar Hoover, and many past and
current celebrities. The Wynwood neighborhood and the
adjacent Design District have an eclectic restaurant scene-
from food trucks to hip restaurants such as KYU. Stray a
little south to Coconut Grove and try the delicious Indian
cuisine at Bombay Darbar or a farm-to-table burger from
Lokal. Coral Gables also offers some wonderful restaurants,
including Talavera for authentic Mexican cuisine, the hip
vibe of Bulla Gastropub, or the traditional Cuban cuisine of
Havana Harry's. Enjoy Miami's fabulous craft brewery scene
at Wynwood Brewing and J. Wakefield Brewing.
A trip to Miami would also not be complete without a visit
to " Calle Ocho " (Little Havana). Have a meal at the iconic
Versailles or dance the night (or day) away at Ball and Chain
to the Latin sounds of salsa, bachata, merengue, mambo,
rumba, etc.
The Miami Experience
I hope the tidbits of information above will pique your
curiosity and entice you to venture beyond the conference
hotel. Remember all work and no play make Jack a dull
boy! So, work hard at ATA's 64th Annual Conference but
take the opportunity to experience what makes Miami a
Magic City!
