Miamispice it up

1 City 5 Ways: Turf Warrior

1 2 3 4 5

The Betsy

Where to Stay // The Betsy
Here’s no better turf than Ocean Drive in South Beach on which to toast the good life, and this hotel offers digs and dishes for the virile visitor, with an outpost of BLT Steak.

Morning // Miami Beach Golf Club
For a turf of a greener variety, hit the links at the Arthur Hills-designed Miami Beach golf course.

Meat Market

Brunch // Meat Market
Sunday brunch at this Lincoln Road spot is not for the light-of-appetite. Dine outside for people- watching or soak in the clubby vibe inside.

Aquavana

Afternoon // Aquavana
Part of the Wellness Spa at Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa, Miami Beach, Aquavana has a crystal steam room, foot spa and thermal heated loungers. Design your own soda at the Canyon Ranch Grill while enjoying views of the Atlantic from the terrace.

Gotham Steak

Dinner // Gotham Steak
This sibling of NYC’s Gotham Bar and Grill brings chef Alfred Portale’s talents to the refurbed Fontainebleau. The menu is filled with dishes such as Colorado rack of lamb and 50-day aged New York strip.

LIV

Late Night // LIV
DJs such as Tiesto, Chachi and Mitch LJ perform in the 18,000-square-foot Fontainebleau nightclub with its six private sky boxes (the floor feels much smaller when it’s packed).

In Miami, there’s action aplenty for the gourmet who feels it’s not a meal without surf and turf, and for those who favor exertion over inertia.
