Where to Go and What To See in Miami Beach
Miami vacation apartment and Nikki Beach Club - is a perfect example of a Miami Beach dance club. It's a sophisticated outdoor/indoor playground with the hottest DJs from here and abroad cranking up tunes on three dance floors. In addition, there's a restaurant and a beach with swaying palms, teepees and chic lounge chairs. It's part of the celeb-favorite Penrod Beach Club complex, where you'll also find Pearl, a more upscale dance club that everyone goes to on Thursday nights because Nikki Beach is closed. Dress hip, bring your credit card or cash. Cover charge is $20. Arrive by 10:30 p.m. to avoid the lines and the cover at Pearl. 1 Ocean Dr., South Beach; call 305-538-1231 from any Miami vacation apartment; www.nikkibeach.com.
Miami vacation apartment and where the celebs are - If you're into stargazing, head for the DiLido Beach Club at the Ritz-Carlton in South Beach. The outdoor restaurant/club sprawls out over a lawn with the ocean at its feet. It's here that models, sports stars and local and jet-setting celebrities converge to party on Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. The rest of the week the Lapidus Lounge is the scene of a party while a DJ spins the hotel's own musical mix three nights a week. One LR (abbreviated for Lincoln Road) is the hotel's sophisticated cocktail lounge for quiet conversation over fine wines and spirits. There's never a coverage charge. 1 Lincoln Rd., South Beach; call 786-276-4000 from any Miami vacation apartment; www.ritzcarlton.com/resorts/south_beach/dining/default.asp.
Miami vacation apartment and the cocktail hour - If you want to unwind in a sublime setting, try the Hotel Astor Bar. Most nights it's a quiet place to sip the best champagnes, nibble on gourmet hors d'oeuvres and enjoy the decadent experience. On Tuesday and Saturday nights, two of the best DJs in the business spin. 956 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; call 305-531-8081 from any Miami vacation apartment; www.hotelastor.com.
Miami vacation apartment and Martini sippin' - Some of life's decisions are harder than others. For example, where do you satisfy your urge for a good martini? Do you go where the best martini is served, or to the best bar where martinis are served? In the first category there is Joe Allen's, a casual South Beach restaurant/bar where they've practically made a science out of mixing the silvery gin, vermouth and slivers of chilling ice. Joe Allen's is located on the west side of Miami Beach, just north of the Venetian Causeway. 1787 Purdy Ave., South Beach; call 305-531-7007 from any Miami vacation apartment; www.joeallenrestaurant.com/miami.
Miami vacation apartment and twist and shout - As mercurial as South Beach's night scene is, Twist has managed to hang on as one of - if not the- most popular gay clubs for more than 10 years. It does so by constantly evolving its seven spaces, offering everything from pool tournaments to jazz and blues shows, from strip shows to drag shows. The house music is always loud; the crowd always lively, and the good times always last until the sun comes up. Never a cover charge. 1057 Washington Ave., South Beach; call 305-538-9478 from any Miami vacation apartment; www.twistsobe.com.
