JUST OPENED Just Opened Check out these places that have recently opened in your area! Words by Matthew Weeks Aventura Arts & Cultural Center 3385 Northeast 188th Street Aventura, FL 33180 (305) 466-8002 www.aventuracenter.org With its grand opening scheduled this summer, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center will play host to a wide array of performances, concerts and lectures for all ages. Its identity as a futuristic facility stands true thanks to their modern 324-seat theater, massive 48’ x 30’ stage and state-of-the-art lighting/sound package. Plus, there’s no denying the building’s breathtaking views of South Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway. Paragon Grove 13 3015 Grand Avenue Coconut Grove, FL 33133 (954) 557-1612 www.paragontheaters.com Have you ever been to a movie theater with reserved seating? I didn’t think so. Starting June 4th, the Paragon Grove 13 will change the stereotypical movie- going experience. This cineplex holds 13 individual theaters (3 specifically for 3-D) with stadium seats that hold 120 to 150 film enthusiasts. Once inside, patrons can dine from a restaurant or avoid throwing a gutterball from one of their six bowling lanes. Bring on the pizza, popcorn and beer! Smoke’t Southern Kitchen and Tap 1450 South Dixie Highway Coral Gables, FL 33146 (305) 669-8338 www.smoketbbq.com With Happy Hour offered every day (4–7pm; 9pm–close), Smoke’t Southern Kitchen and Tap quenches the driest palates around. Located in Coral Gables, this neighborhood establishment is deemed the Best BBQ Restaurant in Miami. Their specialties include Memphis dry rub, Carolina pulled pork and Kansas City ribs. And for my fellow meat freaks, remember to bring extra napkins. You’re going to need them! St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort 9701 Collins Avenue Bal Harbour, FL 33154 (305) 993-6000 www.stregisbalharbour.com Scheduled to open early next year, the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort will soon become South Florida’s newest beacon of luxury. With an armada of elegantly designed rooms, this stunning resort caters towards lavish comfort. While outside, ocean waves crash against grains of sand allowing guests to rejuvenate in a relaxing atmosphere. Guests can also explore the illustrious Bal Harbour Shops nearby. In other words, it’s impossible to take a wrong step here. Elevation Burger 2908 North University Drive Coral Springs, FL 33065 (954) 796-1999 www.elevationburger.com (Miami Location Coming Soon!) What do you get when you mix delicious burgers with an environmental friendly attitude? The answer: Elevation Burger! Essentially, everything on their menu is derived from 100% USDA-certified organic, 100% grass-fed and 100% free-range ground beef (with the exception of their sizzling grilled cheddar cheese sandwich). And to drink, I recommend one of their unique shakes or malts. Key lime has never failed to ignite my taste buds. Picnic Miami 1400 20th Street Miami Beach, FL 33139 (305) 673-4755 www.picnicmiami.com When was the last time you went on a picnic? Probably longer than you’d like to admit. So, one way to feel like you’re rolling out your own red-and- white blanket is to visit Miami’s trendiest destination. Dressed in a casual style, Picnic Miami allows diners to enjoy “American cuisine with an international flare” at an affordable price. I’ve also heard their Country Breakfast Hangover is the best remedy to cure an early morning SoBe headache. Soho Beach House Miami 4385 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL 33140 www.sohobeachhouse.com Launching this fall, Soho Beach House Miami epitomizes traditional art deco design with classic cosmopolitan flare. With fifty cozy rooms (six suites) to select from, two tranquil pools to bask in and a signature service spa to experience, guests can let down their hair and watch the rolling current of the Atlantic Ocean drift by. Finally, when the sand pixels squish between their toes, guests will ultimately come face-to-face with the most difficult question of their life: when is it time to leave? SugarCane Raw Bar Grill 3252 Northeast 1st Avenue Miami, FL 33137 (212) 604-0600 www.sugarcanerawbargrill.com Food fanatics everywhere sing praises of SugarCane Raw Bar Grill located in Midtown Miami. With 4,200 square feet of eating space, this digestive hot spot encourages a “shared experience” through its diversified menu. Trademarks include yellowtail crudos, freshwater eel sashimi, goat cheese croquettes and white water claims. If you find yourself addicted to the raw bar (which most do) make sure to target their sugarcane tower. ML MIAMI LIVING 25
