  • New World Symphony Welcomes 32 New Fellows to its 2026-27 Class, Representing 14 States and 6 Countries Worldwide

    Before New World Symphony (NWS) officially begins its 2026-27 season in October, audiences can enjoy two pay-what-you-wish pre-season performances that offer an early glimpse of the exceptional artistry of the NWS Fellows and the musical excellence that will define the season ahead. All performances will take place at the New World Center. On Saturday, September 19, NWS Fellows will be joined by South Korean guitarist, composer and DJ JIJI, a member of the Grammy-nominated music collective Wild Up, who is known for her “mesmerizing” and “stirring” performances (The Washington Post). Led by Brazilian-born conductor Marcelo Lehninger, the program will feature JIJI performing Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, a breakthrough work he composed at the suggestion of guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza, to whom the concerto is dedicated. Aranjuez is the former summer palace of the Bourbon kings, outside Madrid on the road to Toledo. Using his thorough knowledge of the Spanish musical heritage, Rodrigo conjured the idealized essence of a Spain past, in what guitarist John Williams called Rodrigo’s “distinctive style of dissonant elegance.” The concert begins with Antônio Carlos Gomes’ Overture to Il Guarany, a vibrant orchestral introduction to his breakthrough 1870 opera, and also features Richard Strauss’ exuberant Don Juan and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s lively Capriccio espagnol based on traditional Spanish folk melodies. On Saturday, September 26, guest conductor Nicholas Hersh leads the NWS Fellows in a chamber program showcasing masterworks of the 20th and 21st centuries. Spanning haunting memorials, rhythmic minimalism, modernist brilliance, and profound emotional depth, the program includes Einojuhani Rautavaara’s A Requiem in Our Time, Steve Reich’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Double Sextet, Igor Stravinsky’s Symphonies of Wind Instruments, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony, a powerful meditation on war, loss, and remembrance. NWS officially kicks off its 2026-27 season on October 3 and 4, 2026 at New World Center, with Artistic Director Stéphane Denève leading the NWS Fellows in Fandango by Latin Grammy-winning composer Arturo Márquez, commissioned and performed by violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, who makes her NWS debut. NWS Conducting Fellow Ziwei Ma, who holds NWS’s Judith Rodin Fellowship for an Outstanding Woman Musician, opens the program with Kauyumari by Grammy- and Latin Grammy-winning Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz. The concert concludes with French orchestral masterpieces Debussy’s Iberia and Ravel’s Boléro, with Boléro accompanied by custom visuals created by NWS Media featuring projections of two Miami City Ballet principal dancers, Stanislav Olshanskyi and Macarena Gimếnez, performing choreography by MCB principal dancer Natalia Arja. The NWS Fellowship Experience New World Symphony welcomes 32 new Fellows to its 2026-27 class, representing 14 states and 6 countries worldwide. The New World Symphony is a global leader in orchestral and artistic training. Talented musicians, aged typically between 22-30, are awarded fellowships that can last up to three years and consist of a robust curriculum of musical, entrepreneurial, and community engagement training. Each season, Fellows are mentored by over 100 visiting faculty members and guest artists, and design and execute their own entrepreneurial projects. Fellows in various stages of their fellowship make up the orchestra each season. NWS has over 1,300 alumni transforming communities in over 30 countries. Eighty-seven Fellows comprise the New World Symphony across 17 instruments and three non-instrumental positions. The Fellows are selected for this highly competitive opportunity based on their musical achievement and promise, as well as their passion for the future of classical music. For the 2026-27 season, over 1,800 musicians applied to be a NWS Fellow, resulting in an acceptance rate of approximately 3%. Fifty three New World Symphony Fellows and alumni secured positions in the 2025-26 season with renowned orchestras and institutions including the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony, Ojai Music Festival, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Washington National Opera and Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra, underscoring NWS’s role in cultivating and launching the careers of today’s exceptional young musicians.

  • Best Luxury Hotels In Miami 2026 Edition

    Miami has no shortage of luxury hotels, but the experience changes a lot depending on where you stay. South Beach is still the place for oceanfront icons, nightlife and design-driven properties.

  • How to Get the Best Deals on Johnny Was Clothing

    Johnny Was isn't a budget brand, and it doesn't try to be. The label built its reputation on richly printed silks, hand-embroidered tops, and boho-luxe pieces that retail anywhere from $80 to over $400. But that full retail price isn't the only way to own the brand. If you know where to look and what signals to watch for, you can get the best deals on Johnny Was clothing without settling for knockoffs, worn returns, or compromised quality. The difference between paying full price and paying half comes down almost entirely to timing, sourcing knowledge, and understanding how the brand's inventory actually moves from the manufacturer to your closet. This article breaks down both the pricing logic and the practical strategies so you can shop smarter on every Johnny Was purchase you make from here forward. Understanding What Drives Johnny Was Pricing Johnny Was prices aren't arbitrary; they reflect genuine production costs tied to hand-applied embroidery, imported fabrics, and small-batch manufacturing that mass-market brands simply don't deal with. That context matters because it tells you something specific: the savings opportunities don't live at the original-retail level. They exist downstream, in off-price channels where inventory moves after the main season closes. A platform like After Retail sources brand-new, first-quality designer pieces through previous-season purchases, sample sales, and small lots that designers decide not to push through standard retail channels, which means full-retail pricing doesn't apply. Understanding this supply chain is the first step toward shopping smarter. The brand doesn't drastically cut its own prices mid-season the way fast-fashion labels do. So buyers who wait for a direct markdown from the official site often wait a long time and find limited inventory left. The real advantage comes from knowing alternative sourcing exists, and that it carries genuine, unworn merchandise at prices well below what you'd see in a boutique. How the Brand's Retail Pricing Structure Works Johnny Was sells through its own website, boutique retailers, and department store partners. Each channel prices at the full manufacturer suggested retail, and discounts on the brand's own site tend to be shallow, typically 20 to 30 percent off during seasonal clearance events, and only on select styles that didn't sell through. What doesn't move in one retail tier often flows into off-price territory, but that process takes time. Boutiques carrying Johnny Was rarely discount it aggressively; doing so damages the brand relationship they depend on for future inventory. Department store sale events do occasionally bring pieces into the 40 to 50 percent off range, but you're competing with every other shopper for whatever's left at that point. The net result is that buyers who rely only on official retail channels consistently pay more than buyers who understand the off-price market. Knowing this structure doesn't mean you avoid the brand's own site entirely; it means you use it to learn what you like, then price-check everywhere else. Why Previous-Season Stock Is Still Worth Buying Here's the thing: Johnny Was designs don't go out of style the way trend-driven fast fashion does. The brand's aesthetic - richly textured florals, embroidered details, flowing silhouettes - stays consistent across collections, and a blouse from a previous season looks nearly identical to one from the current line. That's a genuine advantage for shoppers, because previous-season stock at off-price retailers is still current-feeling in wear. The only practical difference is the label's internal season code, which means nothing to anyone who sees you in the piece. "Previous season" in designer terms often means items manufactured six to twelve months before the current offering, not items that feel dated. Many off-price buyers intentionally target this category because the aesthetic longevity makes the discount more useful. You're not buying outdated fashion; you're buying the same quality garment for significantly less money. Drop the assumption that a current-season label is worth the price premium, and that math becomes pretty straightforward. Practical Strategies to Get the Best Deals on Johnny Was Clothing Knowing the pricing details helps, but you still need a concrete approach to act on it. The best deals on Johnny Was clothing come from a combination of source selection, timing discipline, and a few account-level tools most shoppers never bother with. None of this requires hunting through damaged goods or gray-market sellers. The quality floor to hold yourself to is simple: brand new, first quality, unworn. Any source that can't confirm those three points isn't worth the discount it's advertising. Beyond that standard, the strategies below are what separate buyers who consistently pay less from buyers who pay full price on impulse and regret it later. Timing Your Purchases Around Sales Events The most predictable discounts appear at specific times of year. End-of-season clearance - typically January through February for fall/winter and July through August for spring/summer - is when retailers need to move old inventory before new stock arrives. If you can hold off on a purchase until those windows, you'll find deeper cuts than anything available mid-season. Sign up for email lists from any retailer that carries Johnny Was; the first notification of a sale event often comes by email before it appears publicly on the site, and early access matters because popular sizes disappear fast. Sample sales are a separate category entirely. These are short-window events - sometimes in person, sometimes online - tied directly to designer overstock. They're not widely advertised, and the inventory is non-replenishing: what you see is what's available. Getting on brand mailing lists and watching off-price retailer newsletters are the fastest ways to hear about them before they sell out. And honestly, that lead time of even a few hours can be the difference between snagging your size and missing out. Using Price Matching and Rewards to Stack Additional Savings Some off-price and specialty retailers offer price-match policies, meaning if you find the same item at a lower price within a defined window after purchase, they'll refund the difference. Read the fine print before you buy. A 14-day price-match window gives you enough time to do a second round of comparison research after checkout, and occasionally that second search turns up a better price you didn't find initially. Loyalty and rewards programs are another tool most shoppers ignore. VIP rewards programs tied to spending thresholds accumulate credit you can apply to future orders, effectively lowering the cost per piece over time. Gift cards bought through third-party sellers at a discount add another layer of savings before you've even started shopping. Stack a rewards balance on top of an end-of-season sale and the total discount can reach 40 to 50 percent without compromising on quality. But the trick is treating these tools as a system rather than reaching for them occasionally; the savings compound when you're consistent about it. Conclusion Getting the best deals on Johnny Was clothing isn't about luck; it's about understanding where the brand's inventory goes after the main retail season and positioning yourself to buy from those channels at the right time. Previous-season off-price stock is brand new and first quality; it just didn't move through the standard retail tier. Seasonal sale windows, sample sale notifications, price-match policies, and rewards programs each add savings on their own. Combined, they can cut your cost per piece significantly. The only consistent mistake shoppers make is assuming full-price retail is the only legitimate source. It isn't. So start with the pricing framework, build your watchlist, and let the deals come to you. The same garment at a lower price, unworn and from a credible seller, is exactly what smart shopping looks like. By ML staff. Images courtesy of Unsplash.

  • Introducing the Master Ultra Thin With an Exclusive New Dial Colour

    Jaeger-LeCoultre presents the Master Ultra Thin Date and Master Ultra Thin Moon with new grained dials in a soft shade of copper. Contrasting with the cool shine of the polished stainless-steel cases, the subtle texture and warm colour of the dials brings fresh animation to the timeless aesthetics and technical virtuosity for which the Master Ultra Thin collection is renowned. A GRAINED COPPER-COLOURED DIAL ENHANCES THE MASTER ULTRA THIN DATE AND MASTER ULTRA THIN MOON KEY FACTS: Exclusive dial colour: a distinctive new shade animates two Master Ultra Thin references in a limited edition Emblematic in-house movements: finely finished and highly reliable Calibres 899 and 925 each providing 70 hours of power reserve A sophisticated style: contemporary elegance in a slim case of polished stainless-steel measuring 39 mm THE QUINTESSENTIAL DRESS WATCH FOR MODERN AESTHETES Inspired by the Maison’s remarkable legacy of ultra-thin watches – created from the early 1900s onwards – the Master Ultra Thin collection was conceived as the quintessential dress watch for the 21st century. Timeless and classic with clean lines, polished surfaces and long, curving lugs, the Master Ultra Thin expresses an understated sophistication with a touch of modernity. Its thin calibres attest to almost 200 years of continuous mechanical innovation and excellence within Jaeger-LeCoultre’s fully integrated Manufacture in Switzerland’s Vallée de Joux. A WARM AND DISTINCTIVE NEW DIAL COLOUR New grained dials in a soft copper shade bring fresh and contemporary allure to the Master Ultra Thin Date and Master Ultra Thin Moon. As the subtle texture catches the light from different angles, the colour shifts between a soft, almost powdery shade to a more saturated tone. The warm tones make a striking contrast with the cool polished surfaces of the stainless-steel case, the elongated hour markers and faceted hands. Complementing the sleek lines of the 39mm case, the dial layout is a finely judged exercise in symmetry and balance. Anchored by the date or the moon phase display at 6 o’clock, it is highly legible and perfectly integrated in every detail. The shape of the elongated trapezoid indexes is echoed by the Dauphine hands, on which one facet is satin-brushed and the other polished, to create a visually intriguing play of light from different angles. An alligator strap in a new shade of brown, along with its folding buckle in stainless steel, can be easily interchanged as the wearer wishes, adding even more versatility to this sophisticated, modern timepiece. TWO SIGNATURE COMPLICATIONS DRIVEN BY EMBLEMATIC MANUFACTURE MOVEMENTS While sharing the signature Master Ultra Thin characteristics, each of the new references retains its individual character, notably by highlighting its complication with a contrasting element on the dial display. The Master Ultra Thin Date is distinguished by a white date disc within a rectangular window framed by the copper colour of the dial. The Master Ultra Thin Moon features a combined moon phase and date display: a silver moon against a deep blue starry background, with the dates printed in black around the moon phase aperture on the copper-colour dial. Both watches benefit from in-house movements that are designed, manufactured and assembled at Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Manufacture in Le Sentier. Calibre 899 animates the Master Ultra Thin Date, and Calibre 925 powers the Master Ultra Thin Moon. The two self-winding movements are among the mainstays of the Maison’s collection, well proven over the course of many years and regularly updated in line with technical advances to improve reliability and precision. The latest versions of the calibres provide a power reserve of 70 hours. In full view through the transparent sapphire case-back, the movements feature fine decorative finishes including Côtes de Genève, bevelled bridges and blue screws. An open-worked 22-carat pink gold winding rotor increases the visual pleasure. Like every new Jaeger-LeCoultre model, the Master Ultra Thin Date and Master Ultra Thin Moon undergo the 1000-hour control, a more stringent testing protocol than official chronometry tests as it certifies both the movement and the fully cased-up watch. TECHNICAL DETAILS MASTER ULTRA THIN DATE Case: Steel Dimensions: 39 mm diameter x 7.9 mm thick Calibre: Self-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 899 Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date Power Reserve: 70 hours Dial: Copper-coloured, grained Water resistance: 5 bar Strap: Brown alligator with interchangeable double folding steel clasp Reference: Q1238460 Limited edition of 800 pieces MASTER ULTRA THIN MOON Case: Steel Dimensions: 39 mm diameter x 9.3 mm thick Calibre: Self-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 925 Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, moon phase Power Reserve: 70 hours Dial: Copper-coloured, grained Water resistance: 5 bar Strap: Brown alligator with interchangeable double folding buckle Reference: Q1368460 Limited edition of 800 pieces ML Staff.

  • The Bass Museum Announces Yuko Mohri Exhibition and Upcoming Shows

    The Bass Museum presents Yuko Mohri: Unviolated Imperfection, the Tokyo-based artist’s first solo exhibition in a U.S. museum, from September 17, 2026, through May 30, 2027. The exhibition brings together three interconnected installations that explore nature, technology, improvisation, kinetics, chance, and sound. Yuko Mohri , Decomposition , 2024 . Photography by Koshiro Shikine. Courtesy the artist and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York. Across three galleries, Mohri transforms everyday objects and environmental forces into kinetic, multisensory works. Her installations incorporate gravity, light, water, sound, time, and other elements that operate beyond the artist’s direct control. Rather than treating an artwork as fixed, Mohri creates systems that change through movement, chance, and site-specific conditions. The exhibition takes its title from architectural scholar Aaron Betsky’s 1990 book Violated Perfection: Architecture and the Fragmentation of the Modern. For Mohri, imperfection is not something to eliminate. Instead, it allows systems to remain responsive and adaptable. Her practice also connects physical materials and sound, drawing on the experimental work of composers including John Cage and David Tudor. Yuko Mohri , Moré Moré (Leaky) : Variations , 2022 . Installation view, JAPAN. BODY PERFORM LIVE, PAC Milan, 2022. Phot ography by Lorenzo Palmer . Courtesy of the artist , Tanya Bonakdar Gallery , Project Fulfill Art Space , mother’s tankstation , Yutaka Kikutake Galler and White Space. Three Installations Explore Sound, Nature and Chance The exhibition opens with Decomposition, an installation in which decaying fruit becomes an unexpected source of sound and light. Fruits commonly found in South Florida are fitted with electrodes that detect changes in moisture as they deteriorate. Those electrical signals are translated into evolving musical tones and changes in light displayed on a large LED screen. As the fruit changes, so does the composition. The work connects the Western tradition of still-life painting with Kusōzu, a series of Buddhist images depicting stages of bodily decomposition. Both references address transformation and the passage of time, while Mohri uses natural decay to create an installation that is continuously changing. In the adjacent gallery, Moré Moré (Leaky) presents a new version of a work previously shown at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Water travels through a network of found objects, pumps, and other materials, producing a chain reaction of movement and sound. For its Miami presentation, Mohri has rebuilt the installation with objects sourced from secondhand locations in Miami. The work draws on Mohri’s interest in improvised solutions to ceiling leaks in Tokyo’s underground stations. At The Bass, she deliberately creates a “leak” in the gallery and uses an elaborate closed-loop system to redirect the water. The installation turns an ordinary environmental problem into a constantly moving composition. The largest gallery features Piano Solo, centered around a self-playing grand piano and a large LED screen showing footage of the ocean filmed along both coasts of Miami Beach. Environmental sounds from the waves are translated into notes played by the piano, creating a composition shaped by natural forces. The installation draws inspiration from John Cage’s experiments with prepared piano and chance. Yuko Mohri , Piano Solo: Belle - Île , detail , 2024 .

Courtesy of the artist , Tanya Bonakdar Gallery , Project Fulfill Art Space , mother’s tankstation , Yutaka Kikutake Gallery , and White Space . Mohri studied piano as a child but later became more interested in sound than classical performance. After briefly singing in a punk band in college, she developed a practice she describes as that of a “de-composer,” using environmental conditions rather than traditional musical technique to create sound.

  • Florida Panthers and Black Bears Need a Literal Path for Survival – Here’s How the Florida Wildlife Corridor Provides it in One of the Fastest‑Growing US States

    Imagine a Florida panther slinking its way 400 miles (645 kilometers) from the Big Cypress Swamp, in the southwest part of the state, to Okefenokee Swamp, on Florida’s northern border with Georgia, without ever being spotted by a human. Florida panthers are a federally endangered species. Carlton Ward Jr./Wildpath No one has yet documented a panther making this journey. But evidence suggests it happens. Florida panthers were once distributed throughout most of the southeast U.S., but now their number is tiny – maybe 200 or so – and their known breeding range has greatly shrunk, now concentrated in southwest Florida. They do show up in north Florida and Georgia on occasion when young males travel north looking to escape social pressure from adult males. Biologists have found their tracks not far south of Okefenokee. One panther made it almost to Atlanta before it was shot by a hunter. Large mammals such as the Florida panther and black bear literally need room to roam in order to hunt, breed and thrive. Such journeys across the state of Florida are possible thanks to the Florida Wildlife Corridor, a statewide system of interconnected wildlife habitat that turns 15 this year. The Florida Wildlife Corridor built on conservation efforts that date back to the 1980s and 1990s, when researchers from the University of Florida, including the two of us and our mentor Larry Harris, created maps of existing and proposed conservation areas that interlinked across the state. A family of Florida black bears scratches on a log in the dry season. Carlton Ward Jr./Wildpath Today, the Florida Wildlife Corridor spans 18 million acres – about half of the state. Ten million of these acres are protected from development. They are either local, state, regional or federal public conservation lands or they are private conservation easements. These easements restrict the landowners’ uses of the land to activities compatible with wildlife conservation, such as ranching, timber production and other sustainable activities. The other 8 million acres are the focus of state-funded land protection efforts to close the unprotected gaps. For now, these lands could be converted to intensive residential, commercial or industrial development. The corridor is an ambitious conservation project. It provides sufficient habitat to sustain healthy wildlife populations while also protecting Florida’s key ecosystem services, including water quality and flood storage. Ecosystem services refers to the benefits that ecosystems provide humans. The corridor is also a unique example of how conservationists can combine science with public education and outreach to protect important natural habitats – even in regions like Florida that face burgeoning population growth. Florida’s population boom Until the early 20th century, Florida was the most remote and undeveloped state on the East Coast. After World War II and the introduction of affordable home air conditioning, Florida transformed from a sleepy winter holiday destination to the third-most-populated state in the nation. Currently, about 300,000 new residents move to Florida each year. With this population growth came a rapid loss of natural habitat and rural landscapes. Using federal land use data, we calculate that approximately 60,000 acres of Florida habitat are lost each year. Florida’s development was initially concentrated along the coasts, especially in areas with extensive beaches. With the opening of tourist attractions such as Disney World near Orlando in 1971, central Florida also became a hub of rapid growth. It became clear to concerned Floridians that virtually all land not protected by permanent conservation designations could eventually be lost to urban and suburban sprawl. Responding to these concerns, Florida became a leader in land protection, which has generally been popular and bipartisan in the Sunshine State. Since the 1970s, Florida has protected millions of acres of conservation lands through programs including the Florida Preservation 2000 Act of 1990, the Florida Forever acquisition program that replaced it in 2001, and the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program, also created in 2001. The authors estimate that approximately 60,000 acres of Florida habitat are lost each year to development. Carlton Ward Jr./Wildpath Scientists identify key areas to protect Wildlife biologists since the 1930s have observed how birds and mammals use wooded fencerows, hedgerows, streamsides and other natural corridors to travel through agricultural regions in the U.S. and Canada. When corridors are protected, they allow animals to travel safely across landscapes and they can save animals from extinction. They also provide people with ecosystem services such as clean water and flood protection. Since 1995, the Florida Ecological Greenways Network, or FEGN, has identified a statewide system of large, intact natural areas and connecting green spaces. It is now part of the state-legislated Florida Greenways and Trails System, a statewide network of recreational trails and ecological corridors. As conservation scientists who are deeply involved with the FEGN, we were able to make use of the state’s early investment in geographic information systems. GIS produces digital maps and other high-quality data on the locations of wildlife habitat and other conservation priorities. The Florida Wildlife Corridor covers nearly 18 million acres of Florida. A little over half of the acres, pictured in dark green, are conserved lands while the rest, pictured in light green, are considered opportunity areas for future conservation. University of Florida Center for Landscape Conservation Planning We continue to work with state agencies and other partners to continually update the FEGN as land use changes and as better data and tools become available to identify conservation priority areas. Getting the public on board While the FEGN proved fundamental for supporting state conservation programs, it was not widely known by Floridians or visitors to the state. In 2010, conservation photographer Carlton Ward and colleagues proposed a simple, unified map and a public campaign to promote protection of the top-priority lands in the Florida Ecological Greenways Network. Ward called it the Florida Wildlife Corridor. He organized a team of photographers, videographers and scientists who trekked across large swaths of the corridor to document Florida’s natural ecosystems and native species that were threatened by development. The expeditioners highlighted species like the Florida panther, Florida black bear and Florida grasshopper sparrow. They raised awareness about the corridor’s connection to water conservation, lands managed by ranchers and foresters, and recreational opportunities. And they produced documentary films, media and social media coverage, and public talks and events to educate the public on the importance of protecting the corridor. Photographer Carlton Ward Jr. paddles to set up cameras at a site in the Fakahatchee Strand in southwest Florida. Carlton Ward Jr./Wildpath Bipartisan support continues In June 2021, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act into law. The legislation, which had unanimous support from the state Legislature, officially recognized the corridor’s critical role in Florida’s economy, cultural and natural heritage, and protection of imperiled species and ecosystems. The law also reenergized legislative support and funding to acquire land directly for conservation and to establish conservation easements on private lands. Ranchers with the Seminole Tribe of Florida steer cattle through wooden sorting pens at the Big Cypress Reservation in southern Florida. Carlton Ward Jr./Wildpath The 2025-2026 Florida budget, which is still under negotiation, earmarks US$300 million to $450 million for land protection programs. And on April 23, 2025, the Florida Senate passed a resolution to proclaim April 22 as Florida Wildlife Corridor Day. The resolution affirmed the corridor’s importance as “a unique natural resource” that is essential for “preserving the green infrastructure that is the foundation of this state’s economy and quality of life.” There is a lot of land protection work left to be done in a race against a burgeoning human population. But Florida has proved ready to implement science-based strategies and work with willing landowners to protect a statewide wildlife corridor as a key element of Florida’s future. The Florida Wildlife Corridor is also a potential model for other states and regions that want to protect viable wildlife populations and ecosystem services. Uplands and wetlands east of Fort Myers, in the core of Florida panther territory, are part of the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

  • Brunching in the Grove Brings a Neighborhood-Wide National Brunch Day Celebration to Coconut Grove

    On Sunday, Sept. 20, the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District will present Brunching in the Grove, a neighborhood-wide celebration bringing together the Grove’s restaurants, retailers, cocktails, live entertainment and walkable village atmosphere. And getting there will be easier, too. Visitors can enjoy $5 valet parking from 10 AM–3 PM at four convenient locations, making it easy to come for brunch and stay to shop, sip and explore the neighborhood. Restaurants, retailers, cocktails and live music come together on Sunday, Sept. 20, as Miami’s Brunch Capital invites visitors to brunch, sip, shop and stroll. Recognized as Miami’s Brunch Capital, Coconut Grove has built a reputation around leisurely weekend meals that often turn into an entire afternoon in the neighborhood. Brunching in the Grove invites locals and visitors to embrace that experience by making a reservation, dressing for the occasion and staying to shop, sip and explore. In the two weeks leading up to National Brunch Day, participating Coconut Grove retailers will offer special promotions and incentives designed to help visitors find their perfect brunch look. From fashion and accessories to finishing touches for a Sunday outing, the promotion creates an opportunity to begin the celebration before Sept. 20 arrives. On National Brunch Day, restaurants throughout Coconut Grove will welcome guests with options ranging from neighborhood favorites to special Miami Spice menus. Restaurants that do not traditionally serve brunch will also join the celebration by offering National Brunch Day cocktails, giving visitors even more places to stop as they make their way through the neighborhood. The festivities will extend into the streets, with live entertainment planned along McFarlane Road near Santander. The music will add to the energy in the center of the district and create a natural gathering place between brunch reservations, shopping and drinks. “Coconut Grove has earned its reputation as Miami’s Brunch Capital, but what makes brunch here so special is everything that happens alongside the eating experience,” said Mark Burns, executive director of the Coconut Grove BID. “You can find something to wear, meet friends for an incredible meal, hear music, grab a drink, wander into a shop and suddenly you’ve spent the whole day in the Grove. For National Brunch Day, we wanted to celebrate that entire experience and invite people to make a Sunday of it.” Brunching in the Grove is part of the Coconut Grove BID’s ongoing effort to connect the district’s businesses through experiences that encourage visitors to discover more of the neighborhood. By bringing together dining, shopping and entertainment, the event offers plenty of reasons to come for brunch and stay for the day. Visitors are encouraged to make brunch reservations in advance and follow Coconut Grove for announcements about participating restaurants, retailers and special offers.
