In case you missed the party and art show for FIM’s annual November Art + Design Issue, here are two new pieces by Aki Shiroza, whose large-scale work was originally showcased there. A graduate student and researcher at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science (who works with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Shiroza has been creating a series that uses various marine specimen blown up from microscopic displays and digitally manipulated with vivid color to offer an enhanced view of these underwater creatures.
Don’t know what to do this weekend? For $59 per person, the South Beach Food Tour takes foodies to five to seven restaurants in South Beach, tasting bite-sized portions of each restaurant’s signature dish along the way. A tour guide leads the way, with interesting tidbits about South Beach history all along as you move from location to location. The tour takes place on Fridays and Saturdays at 6pm, and lasts for about two hours. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes. For more information, go here or call 855/MIA-FOOD.

In true democratic fashion, the fine folks at the Ritz-Carlton want to make the feasting pleasures of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival accessible to everyone. Granted, tickets to events like the annual Burger Bash can be pricey (and sold out), so we highly recommend you check out the delectable alternatives at the Ritz, all helmed by Josh Becker (the actual Burger Bash chef and the hotel’s chef de cuisine) and happening oceanfront at the Dilido Beach Club, February 25-26 (5pm-12am), each for one small fee, with deelish watermelon sangria to keep you refreshed: Thursday, enjoy signature foie gras torchon burgers ($18); Friday features pork two ways, as whole pigs are roasted in a La Caja China and pork loins are grilled over coal with chimichurri sauce and roasted apples ($20); and Saturday wraps it up with a lovely, all-you-can-eat chilled seafood display ($28). Plus there will be high-tech telescopes for you to peep through and see what all the fuss is about at the official food fest tents ahead.

Little Palm Island, our current favorite getaway in the Keys, is a lush five-plus acre sanctuary accessible only by boat or seaplane. It’s a popular place for weddings, but you’ll feel just as great simply getting lost in its tropical fantasy, where palm trees, mangroves and a resident great blue heron named Spencer keep you company. Pick up the February issue of FIM for more info on this and other beautiful island escapes.
