A Guide to South Beach written by a food, wine and travel writer who has lived there for 25 years. He doesn't list a thousand restaurants -- only the ones he likes (or detests), from overpriced 5 Star eateries with attitude to the tiniest bodega where the food is superior, and you get a smile with it.

An unparalleled insider's view of South Beach. From inside the hot spots like "WALL" at the W to "ROOFTOP," the open-air lounge at the top of a new hotel 18 floors above the water, this book separates the wheat from the chaff.

The hot new Midtown Area is covered in this edition, as well as comprehensive restaurant and hotel listings for the Design District, the Biscayne Corridor, Downtown/Brickell, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables.

RESTAURANTS - LODGINGS - SHOPPING -ATTRACTIONS

Also - a selective list of things to do that you might not have thought about. A unique view of Miami from someone who's been there and done it and continues to do it every day!

From the palace hotels of the elite to cheap lodging houses, residential hotels have been an element of American urban life for nearly two hundred years. Since 1870, however, they have been the target of an official war led by people whose concept of home does not include the hotel. Do these residences constitute an essential housing resource, or are they, as charged, a public nuisance?
Living Downtown, the first comprehensive social and cultural history of life in American residential hotels, adds a much-needed historical perspective to this ongoing debate. Creatively combining evidence from biographies, buildings and urban neighborhoods, workplace records, and housing policies, Paul Groth provides a definitive analysis of life in four price-differentiated types of downtown residence. He demonstrates that these hotels have played a valuable socioeconomic role as home to both long-term residents and temporary laborers. Also, the convenience of hotels has made them the residence of choice for a surprising number of Americans, from hobo author Boxcar Bertha to Calvin Coolidge.
Groth examines the social and cultural objections to hotel households and the increasing efforts to eliminate them, which have led to the seemingly irrational destruction of millions of such housing units since 1960. He argues convincingly that these efforts have been a leading contributor to urban homelessness.
This highly original and timely work aims to expand the concept of the American home and to recast accepted notions about the relationships among urban life, architecture, and the public management of residential environments.

The most reliable way to find a charming Victorian villa on the river, a serene country mansion near a ruined church, or the perfect pension has always been through friends who've been there. And that's what Europe's Wonderful Little Hotels and Inns does. It's as though Caroline Raphael and Hilary Rubinstein asked hundreds of well-traveled friends to help them find more than six hundred lodgings of character, comfort, and value in the British Isles--and then combined all that word-of-mouth information, supplemented with their own research, in this book.

By blending up-to-date guest comments with maps, quick reference lists in twelve categories, low-cost options, vouchers worth more than $200, and more. Europe's Wonderful Little Hotels and Inns helps the sophisticated traveler plan the perfect trip.
