Soho Bay: New Asian Fusion Restaurant in Miami Beach

After much anticipation, our friends at +Miami New Times and +Miami.com igniting our curiosity to this yummy Brazil native, and an Executive Chef straight from +50 Eggs , Inc.'s Khong River House... Soho Bay has finally arrived in Miami!

Below are 14 photos of the grand opening, their beautiful views and even better F&B. Time to add this to the #DateNight list Miami!

Enviable views

Arrive by land (like me)

Or sea as they have their own private slip

DJ Jina Marie knows nothing "beats" outdoor entertaining in Miami

Nitrogen Cucumber Mojito Cocktails were a hit!

Hand crafted Caipirinha (Brazil's national drink) from the bar

Instagramable hotspot? I think so!

Now that you've seen what to order, drink and where to have your selfie moments, make sure you make your way to Soho Bay, opening on the 7th of this month at 520 West Ave., in Miami Beach. For more information follow them on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter or visit their website .

Yoga Soundscape- Another Cool Event in the Arts + Entertainment Disctrict

After receiving a couple of emails from the +Arts + Entertainment District Miami and Prism Music Group that included quirky, out of the ordinary events (which by the way had me with major FOMO due to something always coming up on the exact dates these too cool for the beach events were happening), I decided to finally take the time to check out the new neighborhood everybody's ~~talking~~ posting about.

After a quick RSVP to +Canvas Miami and Ansa Yoga's Yoga Soundscape event, I can tell you I am now more than ever enamored with not only the concept of silent disco (which I first was introduced to during Miami Fashion Week by +Koncept Events), but with the overall sense of community Miami exudes as well.

Where else do they offer free, soul nurturing events led by a very upbeat +Jennifer Pansa in a cool, instagram-friendly space where people can arrive solo and make new friends while dancing to beats only they can hear?

Word on the street is, Yoga Soundscape is coming back this summer. If I were you I'd start signing up for some newsletters to find out when and to see what other cool events this hip neighborhood has up its streets http://theprismmusicgroup.com, http://aedistrictmiami.com/community. Also keep a close eye on Canvas Miami. You will get a major case of FOMO if you don't.

Las Vegas: A Love/Hate Relationship

If you've read my previous blog about Vegas, you know I'm not a fan. This time around, I had company which made the couple of days spent in the City of Sin not bad at all. I even got to taste some really good Brussels Sprouts (which I am obsessed with) in not 1 but 2 restaurants! Beyond that, I saw the side of Vegas that wasn't all day clubs and night messes.

Arrive:

Stay: (Preferably the one within, you'll see what I mean ;) )

Vegas for the Epicurious:

Remember those Brussels sprouts I mentioned above? They're below and you can find them at +Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill.

Go to +Bellagio Las Vegas. See the fountains up close and personal from Todd English's Olive. Splurge on a good Malbec recommended by your server. Do all this while taking a bite out of this Chicken Margherita sandwich full of crispy prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, arugula, tomato fondue, basil aioli, toasted ciabatta and that comes accompanied by sweet potato fries. You're welcome.

There's the Fremont Experience. You don't have to keep your neck in pain for long. You can leave and go to Park on Fremont. If it's Tuesday get the "Street Tacos" and any of their drinks which come in cute mason jars. Then go take endless pictures of the Cinderella carriage on top of the roof and the "fucking beautiful" sign that must be instagramed. Spoiler alert: You may never get the perfect picture of the carriage due to lighting.
