That independence is noticeable in the way the

“I am a Modernist” Morris Lapidus & His Critics
On the cover of his 1996 autobiography, the American architect Morris Lapidus (1902–2001) strikes a confident pose. The photograph is from 1957; Lapidus is dressed in white, his face framed against a building of his own design, the Aruba Caribbean Hotel. With this unadorned cubic structure as a backdrop, Lapidus seems like a typical modernist architect working in a familiar International Style idiom. But the book’s title and its jacket design subvert this notion. The photogra

Best NFL Team Bars in Miami and South Florida
Watching an NFL game at a sports bar is easy in Miami. Finding a bar where the room is filled with people rooting for the same team is different.

The 10 Most Expensive Pianos in the World and the Stories Behind Their Extraordinary Value
I’ve always been drawn to pianos: some for their sound, others for the history they carry. In some cases, both come together to make an instrument a cultural artifact worth millions.

Best Luxury Hotels In Miami 2026 Edition
Miami has no shortage of luxury hotels, but the experience changes a lot depending on where you stay. South Beach is still the place for oceanfront icons, nightlife and design-driven properties. Brickell and Downtown are better for skyline views, business travel and easy access to the city. Bal Harbour and Surfside are quieter, more exclusive and often more expensive, while Key Biscayne and Coral Gables offer a slower, more private side of Miami. Biltmore Hotel Miami-Coral Ga

Best Boutique Wine Shops in Miami - 2026 Guide
There are few universal pleasures quite like sharing a good glass of wine. It brings people together, slows the moment down, and turns an ordinary evening into something worth savoring.
