We headed to the Miami Open yesterday and watched one of the biggest upsets in tennis history 🎾🔥

American Sebastian Korda defeated Carlos Alcaraz, leaving the crowd stunned. Fans tried cheering him on, but it just wasn’t enough.

The energy was electric and with perfect weather this week, it’s the ideal time to go. Grounds passes are still affordable, and thanks to last week’s rain delays, there’s a backlog of matches happening now.

Don’t miss the Hong Kong’s Puffles waffle sundae made fresh to order with coffee ice cream and sprinkles 🍦

Insider tip: Sign up for Residential Perks at Novecento restaurants and score free grounds passes for Friday 👀

Now that the draw is wide open, here are our predictions:
Men’s Final: Sinner vs Medvedev
Women’s Final: Świątek vs Sabalenka

Who do you think will make it to the finals now? 🎾 ❤️ 🦩

There’s something special happening at Edan Bistro, the kind of magic that only comes from deep roots, serious training, and a chef who cooks with both skill and soul.

Chef Aitor Garate Berasaluze, born and raised in Spain’s Basque Country (home to more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the world), brings that heritage to North Miami with a warmth that makes exceptional food feel welcoming, not pretentious. This isn’t stiff fine dining, it’s where high technique meets heartfelt cooking.

What makes Edan Bistro truly compelling is the story behind it: Aitor grew up in the Basque countryside, trained in some of Spain’s top Michelin starred kitchens, and now pours all of that experience into a neighborhood gem, while staying humble, creative, and wonderfully inviting.

And he’s not just a world-class cook. He’s also the restaurant’s sommelier, curating a lively, thoughtful wine list rooted in Spanish tradition. Edan Bistro is a must-try for 2026 — a place where passion, heritage, and creativity come together in the most delicious way.

Once a month he hosts an 8-course tasting dinner, collaborating with a special Bodega to pair each dish with unique wines — seasonal produce, seafood, inventive Basque-inspired plates, and pairings that make every bite sing.

📅 Next Dinner: Thursday, December 11
🍽️ 8 courses + 4 wines from Bodega La Mateo: Tempranillo, Reserva, Vendimia, and Garnacha.
Truly one of the best deals in town.

Edan Bistro is a must-try for 2026 — a place where passion, heritage, and creativity come together in the

Why We Love NADA Every Year

Every year we look forward to NADA — the New Art Dealers Alliance art fair — one of the most energizing parts of Miami Art Week. Founded in 2002 as a not-for-profit, dealer-run collective, NADA has always been dedicated to supporting younger and emerging galleries and artists.

What makes it different from the big fairs?
NADA puts the spotlight on community, discovery, and fresh voices. The work here tends to be more experimental, conceptual, and unconventional.

It’s the fair where you stumble on something surprising, meet artists at the very beginning of their rise, and feel the pulse of what’s next.
