The South Beach Loops Debuts next Month

Miami Beach will welcome November with the inauguration of the South Beach Loop, officially adding the final piece to the city’s complimentary trolley service. This new line will serve as the replacement for Miami Beach and Miami-Dade Transit’s South Beach Local Alton-West Loop. With the new route, it will be possible to get to 88^thStreet to South Pointe Drive with as little as a single transfer, significantly reducing the amount of travel time.

Once the South Beach Loop is up and running, locals tourists will be able to visit the numerous retail, the parks, beaches, libraries, eateries, and even Mount Sinai Hospital using the free trolley service. The South Beach Loop will operate throughout the entire year, with trolleys running no more than fifteen minutes apart. On Sundays, the trolleys will begin running at 8 am until midnight. Hours of operation are from 6 am to midnight on weekdays as well as Saturdays.

Besides the new South Beach Loop, Miami Beach is also tweaking the North Beach, Middle Beach, and Collins Link trolley routes. Low floor trolleys will join the existing fleet of trolleys to improve accessibility.

Get Ready for the New and Improved Bass Museum

Are you a fan of art museums? If so, you may be well aware of the closure of The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach. After closing its doors way back in 2015, the 53-year-old contemporary art museum is once again opening its doors on Sunday, boasting new art spaces and even a slightly tweaked name just in time for the arrival of Art Basel.

Now known simply as The Bass, the city-owned museum underwent a $10+ million expansion and revamp intended to shift it towards cutting-edge contemporary art. The people behind the project are aiming to boost the museum’s appeal as more and more people associate Miami Beach with a contemporary art vibe.

Existing work like the massive “Coronation of the Virgin” by Botticelli isn’t going anywhere, but future visitors to The Bass will find it in an enhanced gallery space alongside a rotating collection of works by current artists. The juxtaposition of classical and contemporary may help give The Bass a unique edge in an otherwise crowded space.

Other highlights at the revamped Bass include an expanded lobby and reception area, a glassed-in court to be used for events and art installations, a large 20+ foot glass wall framed by a pair of trees, and much more.

Every so often it’s worth taking a moment to mention some of the best places to try in and around Miami Beach. Whether you’re a longtime local or someone who plans on moving to South Beach, you may want to give these places a try the next time you’re trying to decide where to eat.

If you’ve spent any time in New York, you may be familiar with Artichoke Basille’s Pizza. The popular NYC hangout recently debuted right here in South Beach, in Ricky’s South Beach to be precise. Have an entire pie or just a slice of the Sicilian Pizza, Margherita Pizza, or the namesake pizza which includes not only artichokes but also spinach, pecorino romano cheese, and more.

Lutum over on Bay Road is a product of the team behind the mezcaleria known as El Grito. For those interested, the menu includes plenty of food options inspired by Miami’s richly distinct array of cultures. This means you can try everything from falafel Scotch eggs to a good old-fashioned burger.

Miami’s Musically-Themed Labor Day Weekend Events

The upcoming Labor Day weekend means many of us will be enjoying a much-needed extra day off. As is the case in South Florida, lots of events will be going on to celebrate the holiday, and we’re here to highlight a few of them.

Tomorrow, the venerable American rock band Goo Goo Dolls will perform at the Bayfront Park Amphitheater as part of their Long Way Home Summer Tour. The band is perhaps best known for its major hits “Name” and “Iris” released in 1994 and 1998, respectively.

In keeping with the music theme, the WeTheKeyDJs Conference is going down this weekend. If you’re a fan of watching talented individuals work their turntable magic, some of the most popular DJs in the world will be spinning tunes at the Fontainebleau Hotel.

If you happen to be anywhere near Key Biscayne on Sunday, you may wish to check out the Tequila Bay Music Festival being held at Miami Marine Stadium. A number of country artists including famous names like Montgomery Gentry and Kip Moore will be performing. Don’t forget to try the various varieties of tequila at the Casa Tequila.

What exciting plans do you have for the long weekend?

Happy Hour with a View

It may only be the middle of the week but many of us work hard to make ends meet, and we all deserve some time to just kick back and relax. If you’re the type of person who likes to unwind at a happy hour, these suggestions may do just the trick the next time you’re in the mood to try a new spot with some nice views.

We’ll begin with Juvia on Lincoln Road. This place has earned itself quite the following and it’s even been mentioned in the New York Times as well as USA Today for its stellar vistas. Definitely stop by during the hours of 6 pm to 8 pm to admire the gorgeous sunset as you sip on discounted cocktails like the Juvia Punch infused with passion fruit or the Juvia Mockingbird. The place also has a selection of bar bites to choose from.

Whisper Cocktail Lounge is located at the stylish W Miami on the 50^th floor, so you already know the views will be stunning. Formerly known as Club Fifty, you can enjoy happy hour Wednesday through Saturday beginning at 5 pm until 8 pm. Ladies drink free on Wednesdays and Thursdays become a celebratory throwback to the 80s and 90s featuring games, music, and more.

The Future of Ocean Terrace

After extensive planning that took over a year, the official plans are finally underway in redeveloping a stretch of beachfront properties located along Miami Beach’s northern shore, a stretch also known as Ocean Terrace.

The vision for the new Ocean Terrace will involve restoring the various classic facades that are found throughout the street that neighbors the sea. There are also plans to build a residential tower comprised of 58 rooms set back from Ocean Terrace as well as Collins Avenue. Additional historical restoration is also in store for a pair of hotels that would connect to create a single 76 room operation. Furthermore, there are plans that also call for more than 15,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space on Ocean Terrace’s ground floor.

Ocean Terrace has earned a reputation as something of a quieter counterpart to its always active cousin Ocean Drive in South Beach. The plans are part of a longtime effort to revitalize the relatively sleepy North Beach area.

Are you someone who likes to visit the North Beach area or walk through Ocean Terrace? If so, how do you feel about these plans to breathe new life into the area? Feel free to share in the comments.

Miami Beach Implements Rules for Spring Break

beachMillennials It’s that time of the year again, ladies and gentlemen! No, it’s not the holiday season. We’re talking about spring break when hundreds of college students take their time off to visit the barrier island in search of lots of fun and sun.

While South Beach is among the top choices when it comes to spring break tourism, this year city officials are taking a stronger stance against the spring mayhem. The effort isn’t aimed at deterring all of the fun as it is making Miami Beach and the streets of the city a little safer for everyone, including non-spring breakers.

Until April 16^th, visitors to Miami Beach will be banned from bringing the following to the beach: tables, tents, coolers, and inflatable devices. Additionally, there will be no excessively loud or amplified music allowed nor will there be any direct of indirect consumption of alcohol allowed on beach property. To keep crowds in check, beach access will be cut off once certain limits are reached.

Mobile license plate readers have also been installed at the Julia Tuttle and MacArthur Causeways. These readers will scan license plates and check them against law enforcement databases.

With these rules in effect, spring break in Miami Beach should be a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
