Slight dips in temperature (yes, going from 100 to 85-90 is technically a dip), surprisingly refreshing night breezes, the occasional threat of a hurricane, and the return of pumpkin everything..we have entered October. This may be our last month until the snowbird infiltration takes over, so get outside and enjoy all the events going on!! Check back each week for updates to the monthly guide!

Miami City Ballet has relaunched its popular young professionals group, Upper Room, as it opens its landmark 30th Anniversary Season. 

MCB’s Upper Room is an affinity giving circle of dynamic young patrons who are passionate about supporting MCB’s mission of presenting the best of dance and dance education, and cultivating interest and excitement for ballet among South Florida’s growing class of young professionals. Members of MCB’s Upper Room receive a variety of unique and exciting benefits, including complimentary tickets during the season and invitations to special events throughout the year, where they will have social and business networking opportunities, exclusive access to the MCB dancers, and the opportunity to engage in philanthropic activities. 

To kick off the season and celebrate its relaunch, Upper Room members and guests are invited to MCB’s Miami Beach studios to go behind the scenes with MCB’s Artistic Director, Lourdes Lopez, dancers and special guests at Open Barre: Dance + Design on October 29 for an in-depth discussion of the confluence of ballet and the visual arts. Special guests include Tanya Williams Wetenhall, fashion and costume historian, and Michele Oka Doner, an internationally acclaimed, Miami-born visual artist and the set and costume designer for MCB’s new production of George Balanchine’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which will premiere in Miami in March 2016. Following the program, Upper Room members and guests will enjoy an intimate party at Klima in Miami Beach, a new restaurant and bar inspired by contemporary gastronomy from Barcelona. They will mingle with MCB dancers while celebrating with complimentary beverages, bites and music.

Adventures in Miami: Wynwood Food Tour

Apart from the occasional Panther cold brew, my experience with Wynwood has always been at night. An evening gallery party or Second Saturday Art Walk has taken me up and down the colorful streets, but after an invite from Miami Culinary Tours I decided it was time to explore Wynwood in the light of day.


Our host, Grace, greeted us at Wynwood Walls giving us a brief background on Miami’s history, the transformation of Wynwood and a lesson on the many artists now attracted to the flourishing area. Once consisting of abandoned warehouses and parking lots, Wynwood is now home to over 70 galleries and museums as well as countless restaurants and bars. After taking in the works of artists from around the world including Shepard Fairey, Gabriel Gimenez, and Fafi, we began the tour. 


The restaurants we visited had cuisines as diverse as the neighborhood art, ranging from American Bistro, Nuevo Latino, Puerto Rican and Peruvian. The tour ended with a local Florida classic, Key Lime Pie.

Rain or shine, the Wynwood Culinary Tour is presented daily at 12:00 pm. For $69, a knowledgeable guide will take you around the neighborhood teaching you about history, artist information and an introduction to five new restaurants. The tour lasts for 2.5 hours, covering a distance of about a mile. Tickets are easy to purchase on their website, and they also offer tours in South Beach and Little Havana. To book your art and food tour click here, and make sure to arrive hungry!
