Miami is a sometimes sandy, often surreal fusion of cultures, cocktails and characters. More than just a beach town, it’s a city on the verge, where construction cranes compete with palm trees and where multicultural city slickers and jetsetters mix with pre-Castro Cubans to the tune of a Samba-soaked deep house remix. The result is as uniquely Miami as the neon-hued art deco relics standing proudly next to the burgeoning billion dollar Jetsons-esque architecture that shapes this city’s future.
