Wynwood Graffiti Golf Cart Tour + Graffiti Painting Experience Have you ever felt the draw of graffiti? Are you inspired by the gorgeous street art murals in Wynwood? Then sign up for our Wynwood Graffiti Experience and see if you have a future in street art! We will not be defacing any property or do anything illegal. Classes include all materials—spray paint, gloves, apron, and mask. When you arrive at the Wynwood Graffiti Experience, we will be set up for your lesson in our parking lot in front of the Wynwood Art Walk store. We paint on large canvas stretched onto wooden panels. First, we start with the very basics: how to hold, angle and handle the spray can and manipulate the pressure and length of the spray to paint dots of different sizes, lines of different widths, and to write letters. Then we move on to some more complex skills, like creating a drop shadow, making backgrounds and patterns, or even doing a color gradient. Masks and gloves will be on hand for personal protection. Although we rarely have issues with ruining clothes, and guests will be given aprons, it is best to come in something comfortable that you won’t mind having a few paint dots on. After learning a variety of skills, you will have time to experiment on your own and compose an artwork of your design. Our facilitator will be there to give guidance and tips, and to answer questions while working alongside you.

Stop by Amal, when you’re in the mood to dress up. The menu focuses on modern Lebanese dishes created by Chef Wissman Baki. This is a great spot to send your Mom with her group of amigas chismositas, because it’s one of those restaurants where you want to picar y probar un poquito de todo! Think dips, cold and hot mezze, skewers, and more. Plus, they can continue their salidita with a few drinks after their meal at its rooftop bar, Level6. The space is so freaking gorgeous. We honestly wouldn’t mind our house looking like this. Imagine, sandy interiors with earth tones like rose and terracotta. They’ve also incorporated small palm trees throughout the restaurant to give it a touch of Miami. We could live here because it’s so pretty but also because the food is fresh and tasty.

MIAMI’S BEST RESTAURANT WITH “AMBIENTE” Where the vibe is more important but the food is still good The iconic NYC staple, Pastis, expanded its presence from the Meatpacking District to the vibrant neighborhood of Wynwood. The restaurant stays true to its New York roots, offering the same menu filled with classic Parisian bistro-style dishes and an incredible ambiance that won’t make you feel like you’re in Miami. You’re heading here for a chic lunch or dinner and sitting at their gorgeous outdoor patio decorated with ceiling fans, red patio umbrellas, and twinkly lights. We’d start with some drinks (of course), if you’re a spritz person looking to relax, start your meal with their St. Tropez Spritz made with St. Germain, lemon, aperitif, sparkling wine, and strawberries. But if you’ve had a long day (or week) then kick off your meal with a tiny Le Petit Pickle martini. As for the food, we like to start with a few hors d’oeuvres for the table. We usually go for the Tuna Carpaccio with lemon vinaigrette, Escargots with garlic-parsley butter, Onion Soup, and Crispy Artichokes with garlic aioli. Moving on to the entrées we love their Chicken Paillard with almonds and picholine olives, and we always love to get an order of the Moules Frites with white wine and garlic for the table (don’t forget to dip the bread in the sauce). If you still have a little room, the grand finale is the airy Profiteroles, delicately filled with velvety smooth vanilla ice cream, and generously drizzled with warm chocolate sauce.

JAGUAR SUN Downtown Jaguar Sun is probably our favorite place in Miami. Some may say it’s a cocktail bar, others, a restaurant with an awesome pasta selection. We’d like to think of it as a combination of both. And there’s something about the vibe that makes you want to chat with the person next to you. Our favorite dishes include the Hokkaido Scallop, the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with the most delish charred leek aioli, Agnolotti with blue crab, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Make sure to ask if there are any new dishes or off-menu items, sometimes they’ll have something to share with you. Leave room for a Wolf Whistle, their version of a tequila espresso martini paired with dessert.
