    A walk along Ocean Drive from north to south is a safari through the trendy. To the right are the hotels and sidewalk cafes that seem to spill into the street.
    vehicular trafic is limited to vintage roadsters '63 Mustangs.
    Fashionplates will want to head immediately for the Miami Beach residence of the late Gianni Versace, Casa Casaurina at 1114 Ocean Drive, three-story Spanish-mediterranean palace.

    Just before, Collins Ave makes its little jog to the left , you see what appears to be two magnificent pillars, through which the Fontainebleau pool is visible.

    As you get closer , you'll realize it's a spectacular trompe-l' oveil mural. The mural , designed by Richard Hass and painted over an eight week period by Edwin Abreu , covers 13,016sq feet of what was a big blank wall before 1986.

    The Eden Roc Hotel & Resort , 4525 Collins Ave. is another notable 1950s- era resort.

    More than 400 registred historic landmark buildings an about 800 buildings total the Deco District always makes for an interesting walk.

    For an interesting if somewhat expensive view of the city, you can take a spin over the city on an air tour from Auction Helicopters.
    Biscayne Helicopters 305-252-3883
    does four-person helicopter tour of Miami for $650/hour so a 15-minute flight, which is more than enough to see Miami Beach and downtown Miami , would run you $41 per person.

    Other than the Wolfsonian Foundation and the clubs and restaurants, there's not much to see on Washington Ave. An exception, believe it or not , is the 1937 post office at 1300 Washington Ave , a Depression Moderne building with an enormous dome on the south corner.

    Beaches/South Beach/Art Deco District: Go to South Beach. I’m sure...

  • Go to South Beach. I’m sure you must have heard stories - it is all you have heard and more! Make sure you dress to impress! Ladies can get in many places for free. If you’re low on cash, it is just as interesting to walk up and down the road. Some of the scenes you will see on the street are better than what’s happening in the clubs!

  • Visit the beach in the section next to Eden Roc Resort. If you have time and a little cash stop in and see Billy for a great massage.
