Food and drinks included with the tickets. On arrival there was plenty of participating booths with tacos and/or Mexican related bites. Bars and cocktails also available. I suggest getting there early to maximize the tastings as well as to beat the crowd a little because as the event went on the lines got drastically longer and the last hour some food booths began closing per lack of inventory. I give kudos to the organizers for the many bins of accessible water bottles for both the MIA heat and to keep the alcoholic drinkers hydrated! Noting for my ladies, that SOBEWFF set up is booths on the beach - so wear the correct foot attire as you will be walking on sand!

Beaux Arts is Miami's oldest juried art show. It was founded in 1952 by fifty women from a…read morevolunteer group led by Anne Atkinson, then Assistant Director of the newly built Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery. The purpose of the group was to provide funds for the Lowe Art Museum. The first show had art on clothes lines to display it for buyers. In 1987 Beaux Art's introduced the Hands On program to bring art to children in underserved communities in Miami. The show has now grown into an annual event with over 200 artists displaying works in 10 different mediums on the campus of the University of Miami. This was my first time attending the festival and I couldn't have picked a better time. The 75th anniversary of the festival coincides with the University of Miami playing in the CFP National Championship tonight against the Indiana Hoosiers. The campus was buzzing with Cane pride. On campus parking was available in the Pavia parking Garage for $10. I also noticed that you could park across the street for free and walk over. Admission to the festival was free. I love the park like setting of UM. The campus is beautiful and it was the perfect setting for all of the wonderful art that was displayed. The fair was actually much larger than I expected it to be. In addition to the many art tents where you could vote for your favorite, there was a food area, live music, artisan vendor tents, and children's activities. There was so much going on that it would take several hours to take it all in. You could also visit the Lowe Art Museum which was open. I was really impressed with this event and it is a January highlight for many others too.

Unfortunately, this year, I wasn't able to but, found this "satellite" event and decided to give it a chance, with my friends. Local restaurants featuring one of their dishes, wines and spirits flowing, a DJ to dance, and all this at the beautiful Moore Building, it was sure to be an amazing event. We bought the General Admission ticket... figured, 3.5 hours would be enough time to sample all, at a comfortable pace. 8:30pm, right on time, they started letting us in. Pretty organized, friendly people working the ticket lines, and as soon as you walked in, there was the first station with, what else, drinks. There was also a picture wall and to the other side the LYFT photo booth (these are always fun!) First floor was more drinks than food but, we did get to try the Pastrami Sandwich from The Naked Lunch which was delicious! Cheese perfectly melted, very flavorful, and very friendly people working their station. Next to them was The Naked Taco serving SX Tequila cocktails and shots. My favorite has to be the coffee flavored one, and they had a Coconut Basil Caipirinha, that was very refreshing. There was also the Modelo beer station, vodka shots and drinks, and Chef Adrianne's Vineyard Restaurant. I've heard so many great things about this restaurant and, the dish they prepared for the event proved that right. It was some type of Ropa Vieja on top of a flat bread, with corn on top. So tender, and incredibly well seasoned. Definitely one of the best of the night. Second floor was a bit of a disappointment. First station was for a paella but it was completely done by 9pm. Two stations down, another empty one. Event ran until midnight, still 3 hours to go and they were running out of food. Not a good sign. You must understand why I have to deduct stars from the rating. We kept sampling floors 2 - 4. Some of the food was unmemorable, unfortunately but, the Rice & Chicken from Nikki Beach stood out, mostly because it was the most substantial dish of the night and flavor was good. Also, the sushi from Green Plate Asian Bistro was one I would go back for. I was happy to see a water bottle station, I mean, drinks are great but water is needed and not all events realize this. Now we went for desserts, unfortunately these were a little disappointing too. Krispy Kreme is not my idea of dessert, especially at a "foodies" event. Found it comical to see people carrying (dozen doughnut) boxes during the event. Of the few I tried the only one I truly remember, and the only business card I walked out with, was the Guava cupcake from Slice of Art. I'm not a cupcake fan but this one was perfection. The Guava flavor was on point and so fresh. What's dessert without coffee, right? Well, Segafredo got you covered. Their Espresso martini was a caffeine junky heaven. Loved it! At one point the 3rd floor got really crowded and was uncomfortable to walk by, especially when there's drunk people being loud and covering the area taking dozens of selfies (thankfully there weren't a lot of these... nice to see most people knew how to behave at this type of event). Also, the VIP lounge, other than for seating, if you were wearing painful high heels, not worth it at all, in my opinion. It was small and by what I saw, only 1 or two extra drinks there, that was it. To end the night we went back to the first floor where the DJ was playing great tunes for dancing. We joined in until he started playing some oldies, and that was our cue to say goodbye to the 2015 Eats & Beats. To be honest, I did enjoy the event but not to the point to pay again to attend. It's good to find "new" places but, this can also be done during "Restaurant Month" or Local food festivals during the year that are less expensive. I think it's just an OK event to experience once and that's it. In my opinion, you are better off investing the estra money in one of the official SOBEWFF.

OMG What a grand event!…read more So typical life probs of an everyday girl, what to wear? After stalking previous year's photos, I wasn't sure if it was just the models who were fancy, or if patrons should go all out. Why express my fashion woes, you wonder? Well, in Miami, you always feel unfashionable compared to all others and this event was not an exception. People were dressed to the nine's...or should I have nine million dollars considering the number of fur coats I witnessed. A great mix of food places and drinks. I hit up the Yelp booth. HOLLA! Alex manning the Yelp booth was dabomb.com. A few highlights: -ice bar...yes, it really was made of ice. -the eats were arranged beautifully, in cool little spoons. And they weren't sparse with some places giving out basically entire meals! -cupcakes galore -The Moore Building -VIP...haha two twenty-two year olds walking around with doughnut boxes. The bouncers apparently thought we were adorable. We were able to arrive at 7:30 and get first dibs on everything and the lay of the land when it was a bit quieter which was a real treat! -the entire boxes of Krispy Kreme they were giving out. We were laughing at the weirdos with Krispy Kreme boxes...until we were the weirdos with Krispy Kreme boxes. Kaaarma. Overall, a wonderful Saturday night of which I shall daydream about for the next week. I'll also remember it by my glorious...no, not hangover, sugar coma! Because....cupcakes!!!!!!! Feeling pretty and mingling with other foodies and eating cupcakes. Le Sigh.

We were buzzed in and greeted at the front by a lady who was sitting at the front desk. We were unsure if we needed to pay or not but she just told us we could walk around. Inside we were able to see art from different artists from all countries, including Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Cuba and Germany! There was a lot of art from Botero and Wilfredo Lam. It was really cool to be able to walk around freely and see all of the sculptures and paintings. We were the only people in there, aside from the employees. A hidden gem!

The tour occurs every weekday at 10:30 AM and is roughly around 90 minutes or so. It covers about 8 blocks or so and you stop along the way. You have to book the tour through TripAdvisor or can purchase tickets the day of in person from the Museum Welcome Center. I arrived 15 minutes early as the booking suggested and I was the first person there, so I explored the Art Deco Museum while I waited on the tour to begin. Your tour includes admission to the museum to explore throughout the day. The museum is two rooms and you can easily cover it in about 15 minutes. They provide you with headsets and are greeted by your volunteer tour guide. Mine for the day was Franzi and she was so nice and knowledgeable about the Art Deco area and was very personable. We started the tour at the the lifeguard stand behind the museum and continued on Ocean Drive and saw a number of buildings from the outside and also went in two hotels and the tour guide spoke about the significance of each of the buildings and interiors. A number of the things you could learn from reading the monuments and images inside of the museum but Franzi also provided a lot of knowledge about the area and brought everything to light. The tour was really good, and I'm glad I could finally take advantage of going on the tour!

The line was a bit long but it moved fast once my friend and I realized the cash line was separated. Upon entering you have a food station with freshly made small portion food. I had tuna sashimi, mushroom veggie burger and truffle popcorn. All of it tasted great but my favorite was the tuna drizzled with soy sauce, sesame seeds, and some hard crusted tempura like crackers. So yummy! The rest of the space is filled with wall and live art with people painted in body art posing and being a part of the art themselves. Very unique and not your normal art event. There is a lot of nudity in the art and per the name of this event, you should leave your kids at home! Everything is tasteful which was great. It took my friend and I about 2 hours to look and enjoy. I'm so glad I finally experienced Nude Nite, you should too!!
