insights into how Miami Beach became the food capital it is today. In Mid-Beach, new and revamped restaurants at the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc have energized the dining scene, while old favorites like The Forge continue to draw new generations of diners. Farther north and clustered around the 71st Street Causeway are restaurants featuring the cuisine of South America — including Peru, Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina. But don’t expect dinner to end the night in Miami Beach, because after a fabulous meal, the night is still young at scores of clubs, bars and lounges across the area. For many visitors and celebrities, South Beach is square one, the velvet rope everyone wants to cross, humming with club action until sunrise. Many incredible clubs are set within the hotels, including the Shore Club’s fabulous Skybar and, farther north, the thrilling LIV at the Fontainebleau. If you’re looking for a cool, laid-back vibe, try Jazid, one of the longest-running nightclubs on Miami Beach, where a multicultural mix of Latin and American jazz, funk, cumbia, reggae and rock keeps the dance floor filled. Meanwhile, the curtain is rising on concerts, comedy and theater at a number of Miami Beach performance venues, including the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater and the Colony Theatre, an Art Deco Gem dating back to 1934. Nearby, a new venue recently took its place among the great cultural icons of Miami Beach — the New World Center, a Frank Gehry-designed building that is home base to the New World Symphony (NWS). Called America’s Orchestral Academy, the NWS is headed by founder and artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas, and has earned international acclaim for launching its graduates into leadership roles in orchestras and ensembles around the world. Symphonic and chamber concerts are performed here on a regular basis.
