This item is in reference to discussion about the promotion and marketing of Miami. Please include a copy of the attached memorandum (1999 Vacation Planner) in the agenda package. 0 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and DATE: February 12, 1999 Members of the City Commission FILE _<V�SUBJECT: 1999 Vacation Planner /*� FROM: Tomas Regalado REFERENCES: Commissioner ENCLOSURES: Recently, I conducted a page by page review of the 1999 vacation planner for Greater Miami & The Beaches which is published by the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. It is a luxury publication with dozens of pages of advertising. However, I am sorry to tell you that the City of Miami does not receive the promotion that it deserves in this publication. I would like to give you several examples as to why I feel that the City of Miami is not well represented in the 1999 Vacation Planner. 1) The first layout of promotion pictures under the title "Discover Greater Miami and The Beaches" is a panoramic picture of the art deco hotels in South Beach and Miami Beach. 2) In the four page layout of maps, one -eighth of a page is for Downtown Miami, one- half of a page is for art deco in South Beach, and one full page is for Southern Miami - Dade County. 3) Under the title "Neighborhoods" (picture and copy) contains the following: South Beach (2 pages), Miami Beach (1 page), Downtown Miami (1 page), Coconut Grove (1 page), Coral Gables (1 page), Bai Harbor (1 page), Other City of Miami Neighborhoods (1 page) I have some experience in the area of marketing, and I would like to discuss the role of the Greater Miami Visitors and Conventions Bureau in the promotion of the City of Miami at the first meeting of the Miami City Commission in the month of March. I believe that in accordance with what we contribute, the size of our city, and the many options that our city can offer to the tourism industry; that our city is not being marketed in the manner that it should (not with our own resources, nor by the Greater Miami Visitors & Convention Bureau). At the meeting in March, I will bring a series of options in reference to specialty tourism and general tourism within our city before the City Commission. I believe that each option could attract visitors to our city with proper marketing and promotion.

E Coconut Grove Proposed Marketing Plan The Coconut Grove Chamber initiated an effort to review the tourist market In May 1998. Since then, there have been numerous meetings held to discuss this issue and to determine if Coconut Grove was receiving its 'fair share' of the tourist market. It was apparent that much more emphasis needed to be placed on marketing the Coconut Grove area. The following 'key' projects were Identified: Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (Coconut Grove) 1) Comprehensive Marketing Study of Coconut Grove A marketing study to be conducted of the Coconut Grove area in order to Identify specific opportunities. Status A verbal approval from GMCVB was obtained agreeing to fund the marketing study. 2) Coconut Grove Ads GMCVB to provide the services of their advertisement agency for the creation of a Coconut Grove ad campaign. Status Pending 3) Coconut Grove Convention Center The GMCVB Sales efforts are supposed to target five distinct products -the Miami Beach Convention Center, the Miami Convention Center, the Coconut Grove Convention Center, the Radisson Centre, and Individual hotel facilities. Trade Shows are a positive source of business for the Coconut Grove area, a review of the April 1998-December 2008 Quarterly Update Calendar indicated zero bookings in the Coconut Grove Convention Center by the GMCVB. Status Pending 4) Coconut Grove Logo and Tagline The GMCVB to provide the services of their advertisement agency for the creation of a Coconut Grove logo and tagline. f- IN Status Pending e �WAAJ� 5) Coconut Grove Marketing Plan & Budget At the present time the GMCVB marketing plan and budget is not broken down by specific area. A detailed marketing plan and budget should be created by the GMCVB. This marketing plan should include the following: • All marketing Items that are geared towards Coconut Grove. • All Fam Tour opportunities (media, tour & travel and corporate). • All special upcoming events and Coconut Grove's participation (example Pow Wow). • Public Relations efforts to capture Coconut Grove media coverage. Status.- Pending 6) Coconut Grove Promotional Photos A series of professional photographs to be taken capturing today's Grove. These photographs will be utilized for general Coconut Grove promotional purposes. Status Pending 7) Coconut Grove Visitors Center Plans are currently underway for a new GMCVB administration and visitors center to be located on Watson Island. Financing for the $Smillion project came from fund collected from Miami, Miami Beach, and Miami -Dade County. In addition to the Watson Island project, the GMCVB should have a visitor centers located within the City Of Miami. Status- Pending 8) Cruise Line Partners At the present time the GMCVB is promoting a South Beach Getaway for cruise line passengers traveling Norwegian, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Costa Cruises. Passengers are being offered complimentary motorcoach transportation to South Beach and a complimentary shuttle bus transportation to Miami international Airport. A similar promotion should be implemented for Coconut Grove. Status Pending 9) GMCVB Corporate Sales Manager At the present time, GMCVB Sales Division consists of Convention Sales Managers and support staff. The Sales Division should reflect the needs of the hotel properties that the v 1�ieAr��jjrq sI GMCVB represents. There should be at least one Sales Manager assigned to find business for non -convention size hotels. Status: Pending I b) GMCVB Publications There are three main publications which the GMCVB utilizes for promoting Greater Miami and the Beaches. GMCVB to extend Coconut Grove one complimentary full -page ad in each of these publications for the next three years. These pages will be utilized for Coconut Grove destination ads.

At the present time there is no summary booked directly by a hotel (without a lead) sheet of business booked available.

Distribution support would be provided in addition to the production of the piece. T CITY OF MIAMI 1) Coconut Grove Banner Signs A common comment made by visitors to the Coconut Grove area is the lack of identification signing visible In the business district. At this time, signs exist In the City Of Miami along Riverside, Brickeil, Overtown, etc. This signage greatly animates the area and serves as a point of reference for visitors. The City Of Miami should provide Coconut Grove with the same signage available at these locations. Status: We were recently advised by the City Of Miami that funding for these signs came from a source designated for 'target areas' which did not Include the business district of Coconut Grove. We request for the City to find a means of providing banner signs within Coconut Grove. 2) Coconut Grove Directional Signs There is an urgent need for additional guide signs to properly guide tourists/visitors to and from the Coconut Grove area to and from major transportation corridors (le USI, 1-95, 1.1 Bayshore Drive, 27 Ave, Main Highway, Bird Road/Ave and Grand Ave.) 3) Coconut Grove Directories Coconut Grove Directories detailing tourist/visitor information should be installed at key locations within the Grove. 4) Tour Bus Plan/Shelters Approximately three Tour Bus Shelters and an off -site staging area need to be constructed in order to properly service this industry. The city needs to develop the proper routing/circulation plan in order to ensure a smooth operation for residents, businesses, and the tour companies. Along with the physical infrastructure the City and the GMCVB need to create a promotional plan for the Tour Bus Industry. 5) interlocal Agreement The City Of Miami should reevaluate the existing agreement with GMCVB and modify accordingly to be more similar to the Miami Beach agreement. For example: • The city to pay GMCVB directly, instead of routing finds through the County. } 0 The city to keep one-half of the resort tax collected. 1 �, r • The City to keep a specified amount of funds to be utilized for our own marketing purposes. • The City to create a City Of Miami Marketing Council to promote year-round business within the City (Miami Beach Marketing Council was started with resort tax dollars). • The City to create a Visitor Convention Authority (VCA) to promote special events and projects that bring business to the City. 6) Coconut Grove Convention Center The County Commission enacted ordinance No. 78-62 (codified as Section 29-55, Code of Metropolitan Dade County). In this ordinance, 20% the tourist tax collected within the City Of Miami was allocated as stated in Section I, #3: ' To the City Of Miami to be used to modernize and Improve the present Orange Bowl Football Stadium Including chairback seats, additional food and beverage concessions, additional and Improved parking facilities and restroon construction, staff and marketing services to promote tourism and the Knight Center and to fund tourist -oriented events (20 percent).' The 20% portion of the Hotel Tax being collected comes from City Of Miami Hotels which include six properties located in Coconut Grove. This ordinance should be amended to include the Coconut Grove Convention Center. Please forward a list of tourist -oriented events that have been funded in the City Of hu_ Miami area since the initiation of this allocation. s a E GROUP BUSINESS and The CONVENTION CENTER GMCVB Quarterly Update Report August 1998 — December 2008 As stated in the GMCVB Membership Directory, 'The GMCVB sells Greater Miami and the Beaches as a premier destination for meetings, conventions and trade shows, resulting annually in more than $1.4 billion in direct revenue for Dade County." Sales efforts target five distinct products- • The Miami Beach Convention Center • The Miami Convention Center • The Coconut Grove Convention Center • The Radisson Centre • Individual Hotel Facilities Of the 508,185 hotel rooms booked in association with convention sales during the 1997/1998 fiscal year, 3589 (0.7%) were booked in the Coconut Grove area. In order to increase our share of this market, it is necessary to direct sales efforts towards business that can be accommodated this area. HOTELS -GROUP BUSINESS There are six hotel properties in the Coconut Grove area at the present time: 1) Doubletree 192 Rooms 2) Grand Bay 180 Rooms 3) Grove Isle 49 Rooms 4) Hampton Inn 137 Rooms 5) Mayfair House 179 Rooms 6) Mutiny 94 Rooms TOTAL 831 Rooms (303,315 Room Nights Per Year) le.C•�•o designed to keep members in- formed of GMCVB programs and visitor industry issues, and the Concierge Connection, a special newsletter published for the South- ern Florida Concierge Association. The Convention Sales Department sells Greater Miami and the Beaches as a premier destination for meetings, conventions and trade shows, resulting annually in more than $1.4 billion in direct revenue I`br ^,de r^uR- Sales efforts target five distinct products — the Miami Beach Con- vention Center, the Miami Conven- tion Center, the Coconut Grove Convention Center, the Radisson Centre and individual hotel facili- ing sales calls in major markets, bringing key decision -makers to the destination by conducting venue reviews and site inspec- tions, participating in trade shows and attending industry meetings.

Marketing support includes adver- tising, the Greater Miami & The Beaches Meeting Planner, bro- chures, attendance builders and promotional materials. Sales managers are resoonsible for GMCVB Overview top -producing markets as well as newly developing markets.

The Department Is repre- sented in Washington, D.C., where more than 3,000 major association headquarters are located. This Re- gional Sales Office generates sales leads that result in Greater Miami and the Beaches bookings. The cornerstone, of any commu- nity's success as a convention des- tination is its ability to provide meeting planners with a full menu of services to ensure successful meetings and attract a high degree of repeat business. The Conven- tion Services Division encourages repeat business through extensive and personal attention. The Divi- sion provides meeting planners with a full range of services offered by the GMCVB and its members, including a centralized hotel reser- vation system; trained and uni- formed personnel to assist with on -site registration; hospitality and shuttle bus services; city Informa- tion desks In hotels and conven- tion centers; a restaurant reserva- tion service; and a "Welcome to Miami" orientation and slide show.

M R �jBureaugets muxed:rar�.k, Beach says BY JON., BUCHANAN The Greater Miami Conven- tion & Visitors Bureau compares both favorably and unfavorably with other bureaus, Miami Beach officials said late Tuesday after a preliminary probe of docu• ments published by the Interna- tional Association of Conven- tion & Visitors Bureaus. Their review came after a showdown between Miami Beach and bureau officials over disclosure by the bureau of the allegedly confidential financial records. Edward Nielsen, president & CEO of the association, said he is highly critical of the city's handling of the matter, even though he agrees city officials should have access to the infor- oration. Among the numbers in the re- port, the average association member with a budget of more than SIO million spends 10.6% of its budget on administration costs, while Miami spends only S.1%. The Los Angeles bureau, with a S15 million budget, has 73 full-time employees. Miami, ! at a budget of S 14.7 million, has 75. Bureaus with a SIO million budget spend 57% on direct pro- motion of tourism compared to in Miami, and 30%ofbud- gets on convention business. to -,,,� he re. ere. and 26.6°b on tourism marketing compared to 1436 by % iami's bureau. Bureau resident and CEO William Talbert had declined last ,•week to give the association's :fiscal report to a panel appointed to decide whether the Beach should rejoin the bureau when an interirn pact expires eft• .0 � Without this information, we can't scrutinize all the facts." Simon Cruz, a Beach commis-" sinner and panel chair, said early Tuesday. "It won't be tolerated that this information is not re- ceived." Mr. Talbert — who said the -- report shows "we fare very well � compared to other bureaus of similar size" *— had the report d red to Miami Beach*Cin 96Lm A THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1999, THE HERA[b Beach commissiar��rs r _ ®,K deal with visitors bureau H AWSON lti:IN Herald Staff Writer After months of heated debate Miami Beach commissione aPProved a nine -month deal with the Greater Miami Convention Visitors Bureau Wednesday, agreeing to continue paying the bureau resort taxes to market the city as a tourist destination. a..• The commission, expected to approve the deal in December, deferred the vote until the new year, blaming procedural snags. William Talbert, acting president of the CVB, told the commission Wednesday it was unnecessarily dragging out the issue. "This is the eighth time we've addressed the issue," Talbert said. "The business points were agreed to. We worked on it over the holi. days in good faith. Don't bind our hands." Miami Beach contributes about 40 percent of the CVB's revenue. Last year, that sum totaled $5.8 million, or about half the Beach's resort taxes. Relations between Miami Beach and the CVB fell apart in November after the city asked for revenue to help defray the increas- ing cost of maintaining the Beach as a tourist destination. Miami Beach balked at a proposed deal involving Miami -Dade County after the county said it wanted a bigger say in running some city K sen•ices and concessions. Under the new agreement, th bureau will give the city back $ rs million — including $900,000 th bureau already had agreed to give & the city to defray, some of it expenses for the new Loew Miami Beach Hotel project. David Dermer, the lone com- missioner who did not vote for the contract, said he thinks the deal is "absurd." The city, he said, should be spending more of its resort tax money on things other than the convention bureau. "If we gave them 54.5 million instead of 55.5 million, think what we could do with those funds," Dermer said. "It could go to the Police Athletic League, botanical gardens. Our own fire stations have recently been cited by our own code enforcement. Think what we could do if we gave the People over the bridge even $100,000 less." Commissioner Simon Cruz countered with: "I have to look at a bigger picture. We generate mil. lions of dollars from resort taxes. We are tourist destination. If we don't market, those millions might dwindle. A business that doesn't advertise is in trouble." Commissioners have not vet decided whether they will enter into a five-year contract with the CN B after the nine -month agree- ment :xpires. Mayor Ncisen Kas. l din and e Rodrig ezChaveitv�recommend d 1 2 using the nine months to coaan- e tinue negotiations with Miami. Dade or to iron out details of a s possible long-term agreement with s the bureau. They are exploring the possibil- ity of hiring another marketing 1 firm to promote the area. But even more heavily debated than the , contract was the construction of new $5 million CVB administra. tion building and tourist center on . Miami's Watson Island. Ground breaking is scheduled for later this Year. Financing for the S5 million building came from funds the bureau collected from Miami Beach, Miami and Miami -Dade County. During the past few veers, the bureau did not use all of its reve- nue to market the area, instead investing millions of dollars in Treasury bills to establish a ties. tegg for the new building. Beach commissioners were concerned . that they didn't know about the $5 ; million earmarked for the build- ing until recently. But Kasdin defended the bureau's plans. "So as long as the building is used as a visitors center, that would secure the city's investment in property," Kasdin said. -It is right across the causeway. It's at the entrance of Miami Beach."

But several commissioners held out against a quick approval, "The city is in the driver's seat and we shouldn't give it up so Quickly," commissioner David Dermer said.

Mr. Stierheim-wants the county to have 100% control of — and the revenues from — beach concessions. "Beach concessions were not part of the deal," says Miami Beach Mayor Neisen Kasdin. "We don't want to receive rev- enues on the one hand and give them back with the other." Furthermore, Mayor Kasdin said, long-term city agreements already in place with local ven- dors such as Penrod's, which rents beach chairs and sells food and beverages, make it difficult to cede control to the county. City Manager Sergio Rodriguez said he is frustrated by Mr. Stierheim's last-minute negotiating tactics. "In the meetings I attended," Mr. Rodriguez says, "the issue ofconcessionswas not disci ssed. Mr. Stierheim brought it up on the phone after we had already reached an agreement in prin- ciple." Another potential stumbling block is the future of Miami Beach lifeguards. City Commissioners Susan Gottlieb and David Dermer ex- pressed strong concerns Sept.23 about putting the job security of city -employed beach lifeguards at risk in the deal. Commissioner - Nancy Liebman also cited concerns about the county taking charge of beach concessions. CommissionerMartin Shapiro questioned the entire concept of relinquishing control ofbeaches to the county. . Still, Mayor Kasdin expressed . confidence at that timd that -the deal would be approved by both' Beach and county commissions by the end of October.. - Now, he says, he is disap- pointed. "Our point is simple," he said. "We want to go back to the origi- nal agreement." Meanwhile, a 30-day interim agreement between the Beach and the convention bureau ex- pires Oct. 31.

DuPONT Herald Business Writer Miami Beach and the county's tourism agency are in negotiations over a financing agreement that's about to expire. The city wants more money than it's getting now. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau may be willing to give something but won't say how much. At the core of the talks is a 1995 deal in which the bureau promised to pay $900,000 a year for three Years to Miami Beach to under- wri(e debt on the new Loews con- vention hotel. That agreement was reached after the city, which con- tributes about one-third of the bureau's $14 million budget, threatened to cut its funding. The city wants the bureau to take into account "the huge drain on the city's resources" created by the Loews and .African American hotel projects, which are key to the area's tourism growth, Miami Beach Mayor Neisen Kasdin said. "'A'e have asked for a substan- tial contribution toward debt ser- vice for these two projects," Kas- din said. He would not give the amount but said it was "a good bit more" than the $900,000 the city gets now.

L. PIummer Commissioner Tomas Regalado Commissioner Joe Sanchez Commissioner Arthur Teele, Jr. City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Coconut Grove, FL 33133 Dear esteemed City of Miami Mayor, City Manager and Commissioners: The Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce initiated an effort to review all "destination" marketing efforts last May. This undertaking came about as a result of concerns expressed to the Chamber by hotels and businesses in the Coconut Grove area regarding the tourism industry, The Coconut Grove Chamber has held numerous meetings with the area hotels and businesses since May, as a result, a marketing proposal was created. The marketing proposal was presented the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau on March 4, 1999. At the present time we are awaiting a response from the GMCVB. As stated by the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, "Tourism is the #1 industry in Dade County, in 1997 14.4 million people visited Greater Miami and the Beaches, 9.8 million of whom stayed at least one night. During their stay, these overnight visitors spent $11.6 billion. Visitors to Greater Miami and the Beaches in 1997 generated $65 million in tourism -related taxes and $661 million in state sales tax. The $661 million represents 43% of all state taxes generated in Greater Miami and the Beaches." This is an extremely important source of revenue for the area hotels and businesses as well as the City of Miami. We strongly urge for the City of Miami to include tourism and marketing efforts in the overall plan for the City of Miami. We would like to request your assistance with the following items: 1• Greater Miatni Convention and Visitors Bureau A detailed plan of action was presented to the GMCVB on March 4, 1999 from the Coconut Grove Chamber and although there was a verbal optimism expressed we (the Chamber) have not received a definite response. We urge the City of Miami to assist in obtaining a definitive response from the Bureau as soon as possible. a� Mayor Joe Carollo City Manager Donald Warshaw Commissioner Willy Gort Commissioner J. L. Plummer Commissioner Tomas Regalado Commissioner Joe Sanchez Commissioner Arthur Teele, Jr. City of Miami March 22, 1999 Page 2 2_Ci of 10'fiami There are several "key" weaknesses that have been identified by the Consortium group that are essential toward the overall success of this area: A. Coconut Grove Directional Signs There is an urgent need for guide signs to properly guide tourists/visitors to and from the Coconut Grove area from major transportation corridors (i.e., U.S 1, Bayshore Drive, 27t' Avenue, Main Highway, Bird Road/Avenue, Grand Avenue, etc.). �• Coconut Grove "Banner" Signs There is a lack of identification signage in the business district. At this time, signs exist in the yfront, Downtown, etc. This signage greatl City of Miami along Riverside, Brickell, Bay animates the area and serves as a point of reference for visitors. This City of Miami should Provide the Coconut Grove business area with the same signage available at the other locations. C• Coconut Grove Convention Center The County Commission enacted ordinance #29-55, code of Metropolitan Dade County..III this ordinance, 20% of the tourist tax collected within the City of Miami was allocated for Orange Bowl improvements and for "staff and marketing services to promote tourism and the Knight Center and to find tourist -related events." The 20% portion of the Hotel Tax being collected includes six hotel properties located in Coconut Grove. This ordinance should be amended to include Center. the Coconut Grove Convention D. There are several other projects requested including: Directories, Tour Bus Plan, etc. FROM . DJiJELETREE N14,1I CJCJ� aoOVE ?yO�JE NO. 3a5358911� . { Mar. 22 1999 0T: 10,v M 01 ,'riaycJr IOr.

Every precaution is taken to assure that this publication is the most current, correct, and comprehensive listing of future meetings scheduled for Greater Miami and the Beaches. Please review, on Page 3, the helpful hints on how to use this calendar to your advantage. The services you offer may be necessary to complete the requirements of the meeting. Our Convention Services Division will be actively involved with each group to assist with program development, using the Greater Miami & the Beaches Meeting Planner as a primary source of information. By working together, your services and those of the Bureau, can ensure a successful program and hopefully a re -booking of future meetings. Sincerely, William D.

The listings in this Calendar have been compiled from data available to the BureaLl'S Convention Division at the time it went to press August 1998. Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained herein. changes will occur throughout the year. The sample below explains the components of each convention listing In most cases, telephone numbers nave been published. However, where meeting planners have requested tat numbers not appear, those requests have been honored. It is always suggested that initial contact be made with meeting planners by mail. Keep in mind that the person in charge of the meeting will be booking only group services and facilities. They will not be making arrangements for delegates' individual dining or shopping. GROUP SERVICES If you offer group services, you can use the Calendar to reach the key decision - makers and develop business opportunities. The amount and type of services required will vary according to size and type of group. Members providing convention services are initially introduced to the 3 planners through their listings in the Bureau's Greater Miami and Beaches Meeting Planner's Gwce. which is distributed to all convention clients. When making contact to offer your group services, it is suggested that you correspond with the meeting planners well in advance of the meeting date and then follow-up with a phone call after they have had time to review your material as it relates to their requirements. Although a one-year lead time is ideal for many organizations, this can vary according to the size of their :meeting: very large groups need to plan further in advance. It is good prac:ce not to contact the a'anners during the rrcnih of their annuai meeting, when they are typically very I with final arrangements for the current meeting. SERVICE FOR INDIVIDUAL DELEGATES If you rely on business Irom individual delegates, you will find the Calendar helpful in planning your staffing and inventory needs to complement peak convention periods.

When you explore Miami Beach, however, you'll discover so much more, from fine shopping and dining to the pastel -col- ored Art Deco District, all in a funky atmo- sphere unlike any other in the nation. History As with many other cities in the Greater Miami and the Beaches area, this unique com- munity began with one man's vision. In 1909, John S. Collins, known as the Father of Miami Beach, bought out what was then a failed co- conut plantation. Collins saw much potential in the miles of oceanfront property and, along with brothers J.E. and J.N. Lummus, inimedi- ately set out to develop it. Tons of sand were dredged from Biscayne Bay to build up the shoreline, which was planted extensively to sta- bilize the swampland. In 1913, the Collins Toll Bridge was opened, the first bridge between the mainland and Miami Beach (replaced by the Venetian Causeway in 1925), giving birth to a city that became America's premier winter play- ground in the 1940s and '50s and its leading 28 CRr.ATER MIAMI AND THE BVAC11t5 Rol— Hill retirement community in the 1960s. Today Miami Beach has emerged as an international hot spot, providing opportunities for the fash- ion and film industries as well as developers from around the world. And, of course, Miami Beach continues to attract millions of visitors to its sunny shores each year. Sightseeing Miami Beach offers a myriad of fun and in- teresting places to visit, each a wonderful exam- ple of the rich cultural diversity found here. Check out The Wo(ssonian Museum, one of the newest additions to the local art scene, and view a singular collection of more than 70,000 works of art. For art of a more poignant sort, visit the Holocaust Alemorial, commemorating the Jew- ish victims and survivors of World War 11. If you're heading for the beach, be sure not to miss the uniquely designed lifeguard stations along the spectacular shore: sporting the lively pastel shades that are synonymous with Miami Beach, these stations are a colorful addition to the beachscape. For a closer look at Miami Beach's distinc- tive neighborhoods, you might want to take a tour. The Miami Design Preservation Leagxeof- fers walking, biking and in -line skating tours of the Art Deco District, led by informative guides who provide a unique perspective on this charming city. Patin, Star and Hibiscus islands are just a few of the many private islands along the Venetian and MacArthur causeways, and the western edge of Miami Beach. Here, some of Greater Miami and the Beaches' wealthiest resi- dents, including celebrities such as Gloria Este - fan, live in both luxury and privacy. Al Capone, perhaps Miami's most infamous resident, had an estate on Palm Island in the 1920s. Shopping The shops and boutiques of Miami Beach give new meaning to the word "beachcomb- ing"; you can find everything from world-fa- mous designer swimsuits to souvenir seashells in settings that range from quirky to elegant. Stroll along fspaiiola Way, with its lovely Mediterranean-sryle architecture, for an atmo- sphere reminiscent of a street in Madrid. Both Collins and Washington avenues offer a variety of goods in shops that run the gamut from sim- ply sedate to outrageously fantastic. Once known as the Fifth Avenue of the South, Lin- cobr Road Sbopping District has reemerged as a mecca for shoppers with discerning tastes. Dining and Night Life Miami Beach has a style and mix of people who have made it, in recent years, one of the premier places to "see and be seen," particularly when the sun goes down. Whether you prefer the comfort of good, wholesome food in a neighborhood cafeteria or the flair of New World cuisine at a bustling sidewalk cafe on Ocean Drive, you're sure to find an eatery that suits your taste. The evening sky brings out the "stars" — celebrities from the entertainment world. Whether they're performing to sold -out crowds in the numerous theaters and playhouses in the area or reveling among the crowds in the fashionable clubs throughout South Beach, they are part of Miami Beach's long tradition of being the playground for the world's rich and famous. _" "' - �-•'wpanza+.vra zi-i?; Ev."mr.„<+T r+� - TR F�k'£il3vsua�Ex+ "...+w .� DOWNTOWN MIAMI Downtown Miami rrflectr the �ynantic diversity that has made this town fmnous as the cite ofc%ange. tom the tranquil fountains of the Cul- tural Center and the pageantry of' tile Gusman Center to the excitement of the commercial district, you'll encounter sonic of the best that Greater Miami has to offer. History On July 28, 1896, the dreams of an indus- trialist and a visionary carve to fruition; in a room above a pool hall on what was to become South Miami Avenue, the City• of Miami was born. It was the result of a deal made in Octo- ber of the previous year between businessman Henry Flagler and Julia Tuttle, known as the Mother of Miami, a Cleveland widow who had moved to the area in 1890 after purchasing a large tract of land around the Miami River from her father. An enterprising woman, she had great plans for the largely virgin territory. After the hard freeze of 1894/95, which devas- tared the citrus crop in much of Florida, Tuttle sent Flagler some orange blossoms to prove that the Miami area had been unaffected. Flagler's interest was piqued, and when he came down from St. Augustine in June 1895 to see Miami for himself, she made him an offer he could nor refuse: Tuttle promised half of her land hold- ings to Flagler in exchange for his bringing his railroad into the area. Flagler brought his railroad, which was soon followed by hotels, businesses and hun- dreds of people looking for a new home on this tropical frontier. The growth ensuing from Turtle and Flagler's historic agreement enabled the City of Miami to incorporate less than a year later — and thus began the city that has persevered and prospered with an adaptability that has helped to make it one of the world's leading metropolitan centers. Sightseeing Downtown Miami is home to a wide vari- ety of attractions that reflect the city's ability to look toward the future without losing sight of the past. The Freedom Tourer on Biscayne Boulevard is a monument to the city's ability to change: originally built in 1924, the city's first skyscraper has housed rile offices of the Miami News and been the gateway to freedom for thousands of Cuban refugees. The ornate Gus - man Center, originally built in the mid- 1920s as the Olympia Theater, offers a wide selection of performing arts, from stand-up comedians to the New World Symphony. The A7iami-Drrdr Culturrnl Crater, with its Mediterranean plaza and cascading; fountains, provides an Old World setting for Miami -Dade Count' s state- of-the-art library (the largest in the Southeast), along with a historical and fine -arts museum that displays the works of world-renowned artists, past and present. The Orrntge Bowl is the home of the University, of Miami Hurricanes football team and is the site of many concerts and special events throughout the year, Shopping Shopping in Downtown Miami offers the variety, bustle and bargains you expect to find in a big city — all with a tropical Flair. In the '40s and '50s, one of Miami's most popular tourist spots was the Pier 5 fishing pier, with its distinctive neon sailfish welcoming thousands of visitors even, year. Today, the memory lives on at Peer S Alarketploce, one of the many places you'll visit at Bapside Alarketplare, an open-air shopping complex located at the site of the old pier, next to Bayfront Park on Biscayne Boule- vard.

Where else can you go to see tlye stars in broad daylight, dance through an island festival and enjoy dinner in a funky cafe, all in one day? Few neighborhoods in Greater Miami and the Beaches — in the country, in fact — can boast such a distinctive and colorfirl character as Coconut Grove. History Although the area was settled in the 1860s, Coconut Grove began to prosper some years later; its, first hotel, the Bay View House (later known as the Peacock Inn) opened for business in 1884, serving winter tourists traveling by boat from Key West. Ralph M. Monroe, who moved to the area in 1885, named the town Cocoanut Grove (after the original post office, established in 1873) and began to lay plans for what would become the most prominent and influential settlement in the area before the coming of the Flagler railroad. By the time Miami became a city in 1896, Cocoanut Grove was a thriving community, with a school, sev- eral churches, a yacht club, a library and the Biscayne Bay area's first African -American set- tlement, Bahamian immigrants who helped to 30 GREATER MIAMI AND 1'111: MACAIES Robin Hill build much of the town. With the construction of the road connecting the Grove to Down- town Miami (now Brickell Avenue and South Bayshore Drive), the town grew large enough to incorporate itself in 1919. Incidentally, it was also at this time that it dropped the "a" from its name, becoming the Coconut Grove we know today. Despite its incorporation into Greater Miami in 1923, the Grove has retained a style and flavor that is as unique and diverse as its inhabitants. Sightseeing The many places you can visit in Coconut Grove reflect the variety and individuality that set this place apart from the rest of Greater Miami and the Beaches. Built in 1916, Viz- caya Museum and Gardens was the residence of millionaire James Deering and is most noted for its elaborate Renaissance -style architecture. The 70-room estate was purchased by Miami - Dade County in 1952 and opened to the pub- lic as a museum showcasing the fabulous art and furniture collection Deering had amassed during the course of his worldwide travels. Part of the estate was set aside to build the Miami Museum of Science & Space Transit Planetarium, which features different exhibits and daily shows on the wonders of space and the scientific world. Miami City Hall is lo- cated on Dinner Key, which gets its name from being a popular picnic spot for the Grove's early residents. The building was orig- inally an aviation training base for the Navy during World War 1; in 1934, it became the base of operations for Pan American World Airways, the first airline connecting Greater Miami with other parts of the world. In 1946 it was sold to the City of Miami and was leased as a restaurant until 1954, when it be- came the "temporary" City Hall of Miami, which it has remained ever since. In addition to places to visit, Coconut Grove hosts a number of festivals and events throughout the year, including the annual Co- conut Grove Bed Race, the Taste of the Grove, the Goo»rbay Festival the King Mango Strut and the Coconut Grove Arts Festival. Shopping The shopping district in the Grove reflects the quirky yet sophisticated nature of its denizens; here you can find everything from haute couture to haughty kitsch in the many shops and bou- tiques on and around Grand Avenue. The two shopping malls in the area, Cocol1%alk and the up- scale Streets of Mayfair, also offer a varier), of dis- tinctive specialty stores, excellent restaurants, bars and state-of-the-art movie complexes. Dining and Night Life In keeping with its unique flavor, Coconut Grove offers some of the most fanciful cuisine in Greater Miami and the Beaches. Whether You crave fresh seafood, French, Italian or Mexi- can dishes, you are sure to find an eatery that will satisfy your tastes. And atmospheres range from intimate, candle -lit restaurants to trendy sidewalk cafes bustling with the special energy that is the spirit of the Grove, CORAL GABLES Imagine a cio, where statel}, entrances open onto quiet, tree -lined streets where secluded neigbborhoods tljat evoke images of Spain, Italy, New England, Dutch South Africa, 13th-century France and even China, are nestled along calm waterruays and city of graceful parks, majestic gardens and fountain pools that reminds you of Venice. Imagine all this, and you'll un- derstand why Coral Gables is known as the "City Beautiful." History r moral Gables is the result of the efforts of George Merrick, who dreamed of creating a planned community close to the rapidly grow- ing City of Miami. In 1921, using the citrus and avocado groves he had inherited from his family along with additional land he purchased in the surrounding area, Merrick began to lay the plans for his city, selling plots of land through an elaborate marketing campaign that cost millions of dollars. By 1924, the result was a community of more than 600 homes, churches and businesses; in 1925, the area was incorporated as the City of Coral Gables. Mer- rick was unable to fully realize his dream city; after the real-estate crash and hurricane of 1926, he had to abandon much of his plan. Despite the economic hardships that followed the col- lapse of the land boom, the city recovered and is still one of the premier communities in Greater Miami and the Beaches. Sightseeing Many of the buildings and districts of Coral Gables are meticulously preserved as his- toric landmarks, offering a glimpse of Mer- rick's grand vision. Among the more notable sites is the 1927 Coral Gables City Hall, with a distinctive mural by artist John St. John de- picting scenes of the city's early days. The Douglas Road Entrance, one of several ornate street entrances to Coral Gables, reflects the Mediterranean style that dominates the city. Fashioned from a rock quarry, the municipal Venetian Pool is a tribute to the Old World city, complete with beautiful Italian architec- ture and even a waterfall. Tile Mediterranean -style Bilunar Hotel, completed in 1926, has been restored to its for- mer grandeur as one of Greater Miami and the Beaches' premier resorts. Coral Gables is also the site of the University oj'Miatni (founded in 1926), the oldest university in the Greater Miami area and home to the Miami Hurricanes, consis- tently ranked among America's leading college football, baseball and basketball teams. The arts flourish in the City Beautiful; the Lowe Art Afuseum, located in the University of Miami, hosts changing exhibits by both local and international artists. On the first Friday of each month between 7:30 and 10 p.m., the Coral Gables Gallery Association sponsors Gables Galleg, Alight, a free walking and shuttle - bus tour of many of the area's 22 art galleries. Shopping VIlien it comes to shopping, Coral Gables is a city of miracles — Miracle Mile and Pascos. Located on Coral Way (SVI 24dr Street) be- tween Le Jeune Road (SW 42nd Avenue) and Douglas Road (SW 37rh Avenue), the Miracle Mile district oilers some of the finest shopping in Greater Miami and the Beaches: everything from exclusive designer boutiques to major de- manicured golf courses. partment stores, all along a beautifully land- scaped red -brick street. At SW 33rd Avenue and Coral Way is Pascos, a complex featuring an in- teresting geometric design by the noted archi- tectural firm Arquirectonica, as well as fine shopping and a multiplex cinema. Dining and Night Life As one of the culinary focal points of South Florida, Coral Gables has an abundance of restaurants serving Floribbean, New World Cuisine, Continental, Cuban, American, Chi- nese and a multitude of other cuisines. Many of the restaurants in the area have been rated four - and five-star by several national magazines and reflect the essence, in ambience and service, of the Ciry Beautiful. After you have enjoyed your dinner, you can groove to smooth jazz in an in- timate supper club, hear fascinating stories of the Gables' past at the stately Biltmore or listen to moving poerry and prose in bookstores that remind you of your grandfather's library. No matter what you decide to do, you'll find that night life in Coral Gables reflects the elegance that is a trademark of the community. +' www.miamiandheadhes.com 31 �w Y ti -9- -Al1.. `.

Development pushed the edges of these wetlands west until 1947, when the remaining 2,100 square miles came under federal protection and became the Everglades National Park, one of America's largest national parks (second only to Yellow- stone).

Most of the best sires are found in less than 130 feet of water just a few miles offshore, and the proliferation and variety of wrecks will captivate every level of diver. In addi- tion to exploring these artificial reefs, divers can marvel at the underwater life of Miami -Dade C:ounty's natural living coral reefs — Emerald and Rainbow reefs just of f Ivey Biscayne, and the reefs of Biscayne National Park. In 1981, the. Miami -Dade County Ln- vironmental Resources Management Artifi- cial Reef Program sunk its first ship, the Orion, in about 95 feet of water off Key Biscayne. Thus began all ambitious project to provide underwater habitat for juvenile and mature reef fish and plant life. Every year, more ships and structures were placed along the ocean floor, over time, they have become home to colorful sponges and corals, along with a stunning variety of tropical fish, invertebrates, rays and more.

Lawrence, an avid scuba diver who has explored the underva- ter world of the Caribbean and other areas, says Greater Miami and the Leaches' diving is spectacular. "You really see almost any- thing down there — the diving is as good as it is antwhere." He adds that while condi- tions are variable, visibility usualiv averages between 40 and 80 feet. Massive hulls, old platforms and an old Radio Miami antenna welded into interest- ing shapes are just a few of the structures harboring profuse growths of underwater plants which in turn attract barracuda, grunts, angelfish and countless others.

At some of the area's older structures, divers are rewarded with the sight of more than 3,000 fish. "Every ship of course has barracuda around the upper structure, and there are grunts and French angelfish everywhere, Fish that you really don't see anywhere else." Other marine specimens include nurse sharks, stingrays and occasional sea turtles. "A friend of mine once saw a whole squad- ron of sported eagle rays — about 14 of them swimming in formation like [military] jets," Lawrence says. For even more excite - colorful sponges and tans provide a vibrant backdrop for the many species swimming and living among the nooks and crannies.

While the Doc DrAfilly rests at a depth of 150 feet, she has a 70-foot profile and can be reached at 80 feet. It is also one of the largest wrecks in the area, at a length of 287 feet. Two smaller freighters just north of the Doc Dr - Milli,, Hugo's April Fool and Berry Batch, are also part of the Fish and Game Unlim- ited Reef. The Wreck Trek off North Miami Beach is a favorite with beginning divers, as well as with divers who like to range far afield. The trio of wrecks is connected by a trail of steel markers anchored to the ocean floor. The area's most famous Nvreck, the Orion is also one of the best and most pop- ular dive sites.

Other small boats in the area provide additional opportunities for exploration. A 175-foot grain carrier, the Tatpoon was sunk in 1988 south of Key Biscayne. A favorite among divers, it has attracted a sig- nificant amount of plant life during its rela- tively short time under water. The hull, now broken into several sections, rests at a depth of about 65 feet. Just two miles off Miami Beach at 40th Street, in only 50 feet of water, are two U.S. Army tanks sunk in 1994. The M- 60s were one pair of thousands of surplus tanks scheduled to be sunk in the Defense Logistics Agency's Project Reef -Ex. The in- tact tanks, complete with their enormous gun turrets, are billed as the ultimate "two - tank" dive. � � '-,f:-+a Part of Hollywood history, nearby the 180-foot freighter Tortuga was sunk as part of the movie Fair Game, starring William Baldwin and Cindy Crawford. The ship, which was renamed Fair Game, is easily explored and has already attracted abundant barracuda and other marine inhabitants. The 1989 sinking of the Rio Miami was also filmed, by cameramen for ABC's 20120 as part of a television segment on artificial -reef programs hosted by Hugh Downs, an avid diver. The Rio Hirn d is a 105-foot tugboat that originally sat at it depth of 65 feet; it has since settled in it sand depression at 83 feet. In 1997, Miami Beach's landmark Water Tower was sunk just one and a half miles offshore. It now draws a lot of marine life and scuba divers. While numerous other wreck sites cony prise Greater Miami and the Beaches' artifi- cial reef system, divers will surely want to check out the area's natural reefs as well. "Emerald and Rainbow reefs are natural, living coral reefs lying just off the shores of Key Biscayne," Singer says. "At depths of 25 to 35 feet, you'll find moray' eels, lob- sters, tropical fish — a full array of colorful marine life."

A bayfront villa and its for•nutl gardens became the winter retreat of the visionary Deering and his wealthy friends. Deering created an estate that looked as if an Italian family had lived in it for 400 years, with each generation adding its own peri- od*s furnishings.

Italian needlework and teat lie rcr•aft and antique Art Deco-slyle curios reflect the spirit of Vizeaya. The buildings at Vizcaya were designed for Deering by archilect F. Rurrall Hoffman.

The Miami Herald Bayside Marketplace Downtown Miami 305/374-7417 Coconut Grove Corner Main Hwy. & Commodore Plaza 305/448-2768 by Jenny Bronson reatcr Miami and the Beaches is on a roll, one that began nearly a decade ago and shows no sign of slowing down. Its tourism industry is boom- ing, with increasingly stylish and grand ho- tels being built or renovated every day, visitors from all over the globe descending on the area's beautiful beaches no matter the time of year, and more and more retail giants paying attention to the buzz., opening trendy clothing boutiques, coffee houses, book stores and more. Hollywood blockbusters are being filmed here and television networks are producing shows based on the area's inviting climate and eclectic mix of residents. Fur- thermore, a thriving community of perform- ers and artists has made Greater Miami and the Beaches an artistic and cultural mecca. Never ones to be left out in the cold, restau- rateurs have followed suit, and today the area is home to a whole new crop of upscale chain restaurants. Following are some of the many eateries that have branched out from other parts of the country — and even the world — to capitalize on Greater Miami and the Beaches' latest boom. New York City's China Grill, which celebrated its loth anniversary in Novem- ber 1997, was one of the first such estab- lishments to set its sights on Greater Miami and the Beaches. President and owner Jef- frey Chodorow grew up in the area and says he's always had an attachment to Miami — so it was only natural for him to want to open his second restaurant here. Catapult- ing the new location on the success of New York's China Grill, Chodorow opened China Grill in Miami Beach in 1995. "Ian Schrager was redoing the Delano [Hotel] at the time, and he was getting a lot of posi- tive feedback," Chodorow says. "I just knew the timing was right and that it would be a hit based on his experience." Although sonic skeptics questioned Chodorow's decision to site a nearly 400-scat restaurant in Miami Beach back in 1995, China Grill has been packed nearly every night since its opening.

Ill Acuis mosaics and ethereal custom -lighting fixtures suspended from a lofty ceiling. At the opposite end of South Beach is the namesake Joe Allen, a cozy restaurant tucked into an unassuming neighborhood of small businesses and brand-new condo- minium towers. Legendary restaurateur Joe Allen opened his first location in New York Cit''s theater district in 1965. Joe Allen restaurants are also located in London and Paris, and Allen's Italian restaurant, Orso, has locations in New York, London and Los Angeles. Orsino, an Orso spin-off, has been open in London since 1993. Allen became familiar with Greater Miami and the Beaches as a resident prior to becoming a local business owner. He refers to himself as just another New Yorker who pur- chased real estate here five years ago and at the same time, discovered the obscure locale for his restaurant, which opened in February 1998. The Miami Beach Joe Allen is the first that doesn't feature the trademark motif of brick walls, show posters and memorabilia. Instead, the small space is painted a soothing sea -foam green; the long bar is topped with galvanized sheet metal, and wall -mounted sil- ver fans whir quietly, in the background. Equally unpretentious is Joe Allen's menu, composed of cuisine that Allen him- self enjoys most — simple American special- ties including meat loaf with mashed potatoes and grilled New York sirloin steak with French fries. Also featured are per- sonal -size thin -crust pizzas, hamburgers, grilled fresh local fish and pasta entrees such as penne with prosciutto, mushrooms and pesto. An uncomplicated dessert of Toll- house cookies with vanilla ice cream is frankly sublime. "Someone once told me that they go to my restaurants when they don't feel like going out to dinner," Allen says, proud of the reputation his restaurants have earned for being local hang-outs. Nearby on Lincoln Road is an interna- tional transplant, Balans, Restaurateurs Prady Balan and David Taylor own two ad- ditional Balans restaurants and The Old Compton Cafe, all in London. They chose Greater Miami and the Beaches for their first overseas location at the suggestion of their predominantly gay clientele, many of whom vacation in South Beach daring the winter. Los Angeles .vas also considered, but Florida's proximity to London made it the .wiser choice. Although :111 English import, Balans of- lers an Asian -inspired nlcnu, with entrees ranging from hoisin pork filler .with leek spring rolls to tuna teriyaki with sauteed bok choy, pickled ginger, Chinese nlusuard and garlicky soy. In between are pasta and noodle dishes such as gratin of fetutcini verdi with oyster mushrooms, and additional meats and poultry including maize -fed chicken and 1 f� Established in NYC, May 1977.

Dine outdoors at one of the many cafe tables for a prime view of the steady parade of rollerbladers, models, tourists and chicly dressed locals. Balans' cool interior offers up a funky decor of bright colors, zebra prints and modern furni- ture with chronic and black accents. Just a few doors down from here is South Beach Brasserie, owned by British actor Michael Caine and partner Ray Schnitzer. While Caine has five successful restaurants in England, this is his first en- deavor outside of his homeland. Caine pur- chased a condominium here several years ago and decided the area would be a good loca- tion for another of his brasserie -stele restau- rants. Open since December 1996, South Beach Brasserie is set within a renovated 1929 Mediterranean Revival landmark boasting high ceilings, wood and brass ac- cents and grand mirrors and windows. Although the cuisine at South Beach Brasserie tends to reflect more modern and tropical influences than at some of Caine's other restaurants, you'll also find several tra- ditional English favorites here. One such dish is grilled bangers and mashed potatoes — sausage and potatoes smothered in gravy and onions. Other menu selections resemble a world tour of cuisine, with everything from Tuscan turkey meatloaf to Vietnamese roasted duck with jasmine rice and a tam- arind -ginger sauce. The pan -seared herb - crusted Chilean salmon is served with arugula, mango -black bean salsa and cirrus vinaigrette. Like Caine, actor/entrepreneur George Hamilton has local roots as well — he main- tains a [ionic in Miami, and his mother has been a palm Beach resident for more than 40 ),cars. His love for the area was an important consideration in his decision to open it Hamilton's restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Miami. The downtown location, which opened in June 1998, follows successful Hamilton's restaurants in Pasadena, Califor- nia, and Las Vegas at the New York -New York Hotel & Casino, An additional Hatnil- ron's is scheduled to open in the Hyatt Re- gency Coral Gables in spring of 1999. 104 Garnrn.tc MIASII AND nu: 11LACI S Jo uotsinrp alluD Ir.]ldr.J aq L mg suonria -do jo ]uaprsaid ailn ']]auinfl II!9 03 Out' -ar.

"We look for cities that have a large population base, as well as a good portion of business travelers, because a lot of our clients tend to be business travelers. "Miami has both domestic business travelers as well as a great deal of interna- tional travelers. It has a vibrant business community in the Downtown Miami area and an affluent residential community," he continues. "Plus, you get the tourists from all over the world — from affluent New Yorkers who spend the winters here to Eu- ropeans, and so on." While The Capital Grille is renowned for its dry -aged steaks, the menu also offers fish and seafood specialties, Iamb chops, veal chops and spit -roasted chicken. And dining in such formal surroundings surely calls for ordering one of the haute appetizers such as steak tartar, Beluga caviar or fresh oysters on the half shell. Desserts include a fluffy, homemade Key lime pie topped off with chopped pistachios, classic creme brtilee, flourless chocolate espresso cake and home- made cheesecake with strawberries. Just down the street is Morton's of Chicago: The Steakhouse, another power - lunch hot -spot for Greater Miami's movers and shakers. The first Morton's of Chicago was opened in 1978 by founders Arnie Mor- ton and Klaus Fritsch. The pair sought to bring high -income guests the very best food, drink and service along with the comfort, convenience and elegance normally found in an exclusive club. Today there are more than 40 company -owned locations, including a second location on Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura. Morton's of Chicago specializes in clas- sic, hearty American fare, from generous portions of USDA prime aged beef to fresh fish, lobster, veal and chicken. The menu, which is identical at all locations, features signature items such as a 24-ounce Porter- house, a 20-ounce New York sirloin and a 14-ounce double -cut filet. Morton's steak houses are also known for their boardrooms — luxuriously appointed private rooms that may be booked for business and social gath- erings. They feature Oriental rugs, parquet floors, dark mahogany paneling, comfort- able high -back chairs and state-of-the-art au- diovisual equipment. According to John Janette, day manager for the Downtown Miami location, Mor- ton's management saw the potential for an- other upscale steak house after taking note of how popular The Capital Grille had be- come. The wealth of new condominium construction in the area, coupled with Brickell Avenue's active business commu- nity, led to the conclusion that a Morton's would be well supported in this particular neighborhood. "Another important consid- eration was the Latin population here and the importance of meat in a Latin person's diet," Janette adds. Although the decor and menu are simi- lar at all Morton's locations, there is one thing unique about the Greater Miami and the Beaches restaurants, Janette says.

In New York, for example, men are required to wear jacket and tie, even during lunch. Smith & Wollensky, meanwhile, is re- ceiving patrons attired in cruise -wear with its location just minutes from the Port of Miami, at the tip of Miami Beach. The fa- mous New York steak -and -seafood house opened here in 1997, offering a spectacular view of the Atlantic and of cruise ships mak- ing their way through Government Cut. The spot is unusual for Smith & Wollensky, says Arthur Forgette, managing partner. "Typi- cally, our restaurants are in the heart of a business district — in New York, we're in Midtown, in Chicago we're in Marina City, which is a business area. Here we might rely a little more on vacationers than in some of our other locations. "We're more of a destination here than in our other cities, because of our location on the beach. We're not on Brickell so we don't have that automatic business clientele found there," he continues. Regardless of the exact area, a Greater Miami and the Beaches location was impor- tant to the company. "Miami is becoming more and more popular each year, and it's a stopover for many international connec- tions, especially to and from South Amer- ica," Forgette says. "So we get a lot of nternatio-al travelers here who know us from New York. We wanted to capitalize on the South Americans and international people who live and travel through here, most of whom are already familiar with Smith & Wollensky." The feature act at Smith & Wollensky is again steak, including double sirloin, Chateaubriand, filet mignon and filet au poivre. Fish, seafood, poultry and lamb are also impeccably served in elegant surround- ings: polished wood floors, gleaming brass accents and crisp whire linens. Whether they're taking their cue from the droves of tourists and business travelers who come here ,year after year or discovering the area on their own, famous restaurateurs have found a gem in Greater Miami and the Beaches. Wherever you choose to dine on Your visit, chances are you'll be enjoying the cuisine and ambience of rile country's most esteemed chain restaurants or even the fa- vorite entrees ofa celebrity owner. r Morton's of Chicago's Broiled Sea Scallops Wrapped in Bacon, with Apricot Chutney yields 4 servings • 12 large sea scallops (1 to 19ounces each) • 12 slices bacon 8 leaves spinach, washed, stems removed • 2 tablespoons melted butter y cup apricot chutney (recipe follows) • 2 lemons, halved • 4 bamboo skewers Place bacon strips on a wire rack in 350-degree oven.

The following is a guide to such services, as well as other useful information. www.miamiandbcachcs.com 145 VISITOR INFORMATION AND LOCAL SERVICES AREA & POPULATION Greater Miami and the Beaches is spread over 2,OD0 square miles at the southeastern tip of the Florida peninsula. The Intracoastal Waterway separates the Miami mainland and Miami Beach, located on the Atlantic Ocean. More than 2 mil- lion people reside here, bringing to the area a rich cultural diversity. WEATHER Greater Miami and the Beaches' subtropical cli- mate ensures plentiful sunshine year-round. There is enough rainfall during the summer and early fall to keep the local vegetation ripe with color and to entice cool ocean breezes to tickle the air. Virtually all buildings are air-con- ditioned. In fact, a light sweater or Jacket is ad- visable to take the chill off the indoor climates. The powerful rays of the sun also make it a good idea to wear a hat and protective sun- screen when planning to be outdoors for long periods. Otherwise, both men and women will be most comfortable in lightweight resort wear.

An operator will connect you to the police, fire department or ambulance service. Telephone Communications: Local calls at pay telephones are 35 cents. Telegrams can be sent to any destination by telephone and billed either to v_ our hotel room or to a credit card. Currency can be wired only from tele- graph offices. ELECTRICAL CURRENT All personal appliances run on 110/115 volt, 60-cycle current. International visitors may need to use adapters or converters. _ GRATUITIES Customarily, gratuities are paid to hospitality industry personnel who render personal ser- vices. As a general rule of thumb, 15 percent of the total cost tot services is usually appropri- ate. Occasionally, you may find a restaurant has already added the gratuity to the final bill. It you are given assistance with your baggage, 50 cents to $1 per bag is expected. Taxi drivers are usually tipped 15 percent of the fare. When a doorman or valet calls for a taxi, a $1 tip is generally appropriate. This is also true for the attendant who retrieves your car from valet parking. When tipping for maid service, $3-$5 per week is a good guideline. Should you en- gage a concierge's services, tip according to the type of service provided. DRIVING & TRAFFIC REGULATIONS _ U.S. law stipulates driving on the right-hand side of the road and passing on the left. Right turns are permitted at red lights unless other- wise indicated by a sign at the intersection, Al- ways proceed with caution and carefully note posted speed limits: 15 miles per hour (mph) in school zones, 30 mph in business or resi- dential areas and 55 mph on most express- ways, unless road conditions warrant lower speeds.

The hotels and resorts in the Downtown Miami area also offer the business traveler all die conveniences that can make for a productive trip — along with luxury accommodations that feature spectacular bay views and exceptional service. And with Greater Miami's center of commerce, state-of-the-art convention facilities, fine dining and world -class entertainment just steps assay, you'll manage to find time for both work and play. The Concierge by Lee Klein Tee lob might involve rounding up a bag- iper for a homesick Scottish rock star, curing pedigreed goats for a Colom- bian diplomat whose children are allergic to cow 's milk or fulfilling a ship -to -shore order for pizza to be delivered by helicopter. Unusual re- quests are nothing unusual for a concierge. While many hotel guests assume that the concierge exists simply, to suggest restaurants and make reservations, the concierge does much, much more. "We handle the impossible imme- diately," explains Miguel Pena, president of the Southern Florida Concierge Association. He adds, "Miracles take a little longer." In this high-tech age — one in which it often seems impossible to reach a human being when phoning a business — due concierge's de- votion to personal service is something of an anachronism, albeit a welcome one. And it's not just in the realm of the unusual that the concierge shines. Just about tunzhing you need can be ac- complished, often while you are out sightseeing or attending a business meeting. Following are )list a few of the concierge's functions: Hospitality: The concierge will be there to greet you upon your arrival at the hotel. If you do not have rime to register properly, the concierge will confirm and hold the room for YOU, and either hold )'our luggage or send it up to your room. If necessary, he or she will be there to assist at check-out as well. t. fi;1 Bal Harbour will change you. Its Reincarnation isnt tke >rIly.to come kaA t rn. erson. i,vww.village.bal-harbou ell.us. oceanfront hotels are amazingly refreshing, especially the sublime waterscape at the Sheraton Bal Harbour Beach Resort and the European ambiance of the Sea View Hotel.

PF Car rentals: Your concierge can have a rental car delivered to you at the hotel and will take care of its return. He or she can even arrange a car for you at your next destination. Air travel: It's 10 p.m. on a Sunday ... and you need to fly to Timbuktu as soon as possi- ble? Don't worty — the concierge probably has a travel agent's beeper and home phone num- ber and can get airline tickets booked and de- livered at any hour. He or she can also purchase tickets, reconfirm flights and serve as a travel consultant. If you just need information, there's an OAG (Official Airline Guide), listing all national and international flights, behind every concierge desk. Postal services- The concierge ensures that guests receive their mail, packages, mes- sages and faxes. The concierge also sends faxes, weighs, stamps and mails parcels and works with all major couriers. Accommodations- Concierges can help find and reserve a room for you at your next destination. If you arrive in a city and find all hotel rooms booked, a concierge will help to secure accommodations for you. Business services: The concierge can as- sist in arranging meetings in rooms large and small, in or outside the hotel. He or she can also provide you with a secretary, an inter- preter, a computer or whatever else you might need, as well as organize corporate itineraries and even day care for your clients' children. Social planning: Concierges have maps, sightseeing brochures, calendars of local events and civic activities and directions to popular destinations. They can also book you a heli- copter tour, charter a fishing boat or secure theater tickets. One -stop shopping: Over the years, a concierge will develop a vast network of con- tacts that enables him or her to provide you with recommendations for everything from A — antiques, aromatherapists and audiovisual equipment — to Z — zoos, zinfandel and zipper repairs. In between are the more com- mon requests, for the services of florists, hair stylists, doctors, limousine operators, dry cleaners and baby sitters. And when it comes to recommending restaurants, the concierge is like a walking Zagar guide. He or she is famil- iar with all the finest dining spots, and can even do something Zagar cannot: secure you a table, sometimes even when the restaurant is fully booked. n elegant, small hotel, f. with old world charm, featuring exquisite, 4 oversized guest rooms, complete with solid mahogany furniture and r appointments, marble baths r and beautiful terraces. Modern conveniences include in -room fax machines, i and full business services. All this combined creates the perfect atmosphere for a business meeting, elegant wedding or simply a weekend getaway. OMNI OI COLONNADE HOTEL 180 Aragon Avenue • Coral Gables, Florida 33134 Tel: (305) 441-2600 • Fax: (305) 444-9706 158 GREATER MIAW AND THE BEACHES Les Clefs dor Les Clefs d'Or ("the golden keys') is an inter- national organization of concierges who together seek ways to improve the quality of service pro- vided by their hotels. Founded in France in 1929 by Ferdinand Gillet, Les Clefs d'Or has grown to include more than 4,000 members from 34 coun•• tries. It's also affiliated with the Paris -based Inter- national Concierge Institute, whose program includes two months of classroom work on sub- jects like tourism -industry structure, world geog- raphy, computers, protocol and human relations, along with a two -month internship in a deluxe hotel under the supervision of a Clefs d'Or concierge. When you see the Clefs d'Or symbol — crossed golden keys — on a concierge's lapel, you can rest assured that you're dealing with a professional who has both the dedication and the contacts to open doors for you throughout the City, indeed all over the world. The Human Touch The human touch, in the form of compe- tent, caring and courteous personal attention, has been rated by consumers in survey after survey as more important than any other element of ser- vice. So not only must the concierge be a veritable library of local information, he or she must have other qualities as well: an observant eye, an atten- tive ear, a keen memory, patience, prudence, in- telligence, integrity, diplomacy and leadership skills; the ability to stay on his or her feet for long periods of time, as well as to discern priorities, adapt quickly to different situations, work well under pressure (the concierge can often be identi- fied by the phone on each ear), and be bilingual or even multilingual — all whiL maintaining a cheerful demeanor and a smart, well-groomed ap- pearance. Raveling Tips Long a fixture in Europe, the concierge is a relatively young profession in this country, and as such many travelers are unfamiliar with and intimidated by the formality of the title and the uniform. Many are also unfamiliar with tipping standards. TwvellMoliday Magazine recommends a tip of $5 or S10 at the end of your stay if you used concierge services, and more if you've made special requests. .lack of All 17ra lcs. Master Of 1\ am, Right this moment, as you're reading this, there's a concierge at his or her station waiting to do anything you ask, so long as it is morally, legally and humanly possible.
