November is right around the corner, which means the holiday season will soon be upon us. Also synonymous with the holidays is Art Basel Miami Beach. In case you’ve never heard of this popular event, it is a global art fair held in Hong Kong, Basel, Switzerland, and right here in Miami Beach. The first Art Basel came to life in 1970 as a cooperative effort between Ernst Beyeler, Trudl Bruckner, and Balz Hilt. Its goal was to present work by lesser-known contemporary artists while grabbing the attention of art devotees, galleries, and collectors.

It wasn’t until 2002 that Art Basel made its way back to Miami and the 2010 version will be the most exciting one yet. An enhanced focus will be placed on Latin American and U.S. exhibitions, with over half of the 250+ exhibitors coming from the two continents. Also, this year’s Art Basel will have a brand new section showcasing large-scale artwork.

Are you interested in checking out Art Basel? Tickets are $65 for individuals or $45 for senior citizens and students attending for one day. Four day tickets can also be purchased for $145. Tickets can be bought online or you can buy them on opening day (December 5^th) at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Just about everyone can appreciate a good slice of pizza. However, not all pizza is created equal and you’ve probably had a slice or two that you weren’t too fond of. Miami Beach has no shortage of pizza places that have received high ratings, but they may soon be overshadowed by the world’s best pizza.

In Naples, Italy, Gino Sorbillo is something of a celebrity. His pizza is often regarded as being the best in the country and apparently, it’s so good it was even blessed by none other than Pope Francis himself! Despite the tremendous praise, Sorbillo takes an uncomplicated approach to making his highly-regarded pies.

If you’re curious to see whether the lofty praise heaped on Gino Sorbillo is true, you’ll soon be able to try it for yourself when Sorbillo opens its doors right here in Miami Beach on Wednesday, October 30. The restaurant menu will have a variety of Neapolitan-style pizza in classic and seasonal varieties plus foods like pasta, calzones. And more. In keeping with the tradition of the other locations in Tokyo, New York, Naples, and Milan, the pizzas ranging from $16 to $28 will be limited to 300 per day on a first-come, first-serve basis. This limit does not apply to the rest of the menu.

Sorbillo will be located at 100 Collins Avenue.

One of the best times of the year in South Florida is the stone crab season and one of the best places to celebrate it is at Joe’s Stone Crab. This iconic Miami Beach mainstay will be opening its doors to celebrate its 106th season on October 15 at 5 pm sharp.

Joe’s Stone Crab is named after Joe Weiss and its history goes back to 1913. Born in Hungary and living in New York, Weiss arrived in Miami Beach with the hopes of finding some relief for his asthma. Joe and his wife originally opened a shack focused on seafood located on Collins Avenue. After an ichthyologist noticed the many stone crabs in the area, he brought them to the attention of Joe Weiss, asking whether they were suitable to eat.

Today, Joe’s Stone Crab is notable for attracting notable names including actors, politicians, and athletes. Despite its popularity and many years of operation, it remains a a family-owned and operated restaurant. A notable aspect of the restaurant is its stance on reservations, which it does not do. Hence, anyone who wants to dine there should arrive early or they may have to wait several hours before they can be seated.
