For lovers of sports entertainment competitions I'd like to propose a reality show called
LEAVING THE HOUSE WITH THREE KIDS
it will involve the following skills:
- Jedi-style mind tricks
- the acrobatic coordination and wrestling strength of American Ninja Warrior
- the logistical derring-do of Navy SEALs
that is all.

Getting Tiki With It
Because it's never too early to introduce the kids to oversized frozen drinks.
At Postcard Inn at Holiday Isle, Islamorada.
Brunch @ Vintro Kitchen, South Beach
A bit hidden, but that just enhances the charm of this spot on the Collins Canal. The self-serve bowls of nutella on the brunch buffet are GENIUS. Things like fresh made paella, grilled lamb chops and a live flamenco guitarist give the place a sultry Latin vibe.
A Conversation About Art Basel
A recent conversation I had regarding #ArtBasel, the mega-cluster-F.
I start.
"So this year there are come cool events happening--"
"I'm not going to anything where we have to wait in line with a gaggle of people trying to get in while some snooty person with an iPad looks for our name."
"Right. Okay, well there's also---"
"And then we get there and the crowd isn't the right crowd, or not a big enough crowd, or not a smart enough crowd. Or where parking is a headache, or where we get stuck in traffic. Or where the valet line is 100 a-holes long. Or where we have to fight to get a drink/tiny bite/spoon of tuna tartar. Or where I get elbowed by Julian Schnabel and Jeffrey Deitch starts yelling at his door people. Or anything where we stand around WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN."
"Yep. So I guess that covers it. See you in a week?"
"Sounds good."

Siena Tavern, South Beach
Exuberant celeb chef (and former Top Chef contestant) Fabio Viviani has brought his Chicago-based Italian tavern to our beachy shores.
The former China Grill 400-seater is now transformed into an expansive playground of Italian delights. There's an open pizza kitchen, an expansive circular bar and a mix of high and low tables that breaks up the cavernous space, making it somewhat cozy. Yes, there's a signature beer on tap, made by Wynwood Brewing. As for the food.
