The James Nautilus Miami Beach celebrates its MiMo past in a contemporary new design that sets the stage for endless moments infused with joy. Full of style, layered textures, color, fine art, and above all, personality, The James Nautilus Miami Beach feels like it has always been here, and like nothing else next door. In addition to its Morris Lapidus-era design, the all-new interiors take cues from Latin American modernism and the tropical energy of Miami and also serve as a gallery for an impeccably curated art collection.

Hand-picked pieces gathered from global travels and gracious gifts from worldly friends. The James Nautilus Miami Beach welcomes guests from all over the world, including collectors, gallerists, artists and curators who flock to South Beach each year for Art Basel Miami Beach.

Yes, I stole that line from the dude on the Allstate commercial, but it just makes me laugh. Here are my favorite clothes from my favorite retailers.FYI, I'm 6'2", 215 lbs, and usually wear XL shirts and size 36 pants.

Since 2019, my Peloton bike has been at the core of my personal fitness program. Here are my favorite rides and instructors.

Amazon has made my life so easy. Anything I can dream up, I can go to the app and usually have it in 24 hours - maybe 48. Here is a list of my recent buys (that I didn't return). Oh, and I actually love returning things to the self-service Amazon Return Kiosk at my South Beach Whole Foods. Sorry, Amazon.

The receipts are in my appetite. These are the Miami Beach and South Florida restaurants, bars, bakeries and delis I return to again and again, from late night pizza and Cuban pastries to Mediterranean, Japanese, Italian and ceviche. I live and work in Miami Beach, so every pick has been tested on real weeknights, with real guests, over real years. Look closer and you'll find something for every craving and every budget. No sponsors, no filler, just places I would send my own family.

Miami is much more than a city. It's a vibe. You feel it the moment you get off the plane. There's a rhythm, a beat, an electricity that you can;t find anywhere else. The hospitality industry here takes advantage of that for visitors and locals alike. Take off to Miami Beach for an incredible weekend stay at a totally hot art deco hotel on Ocean Drive, head to the Hard Rock for unbeatable gaming and entertainment in Hollywood. It's a never-ending treat for every one of your senses.

Think again if you believe one store does it all. These are the grocery stores, markets, hardware, wine, home goods and neighborhood shops I actually use to run a life in Miami Beach, from big names like Target, Publix and IKEA to small local favorites. I do the weekly shopping, the last minute runs and the Saturday errands myself, so every pick has earned its place by saving me time or money. No sponsors, no filler, just the stops I would recommend to a neighbor.

Everything on this list is something I've personally tried, visited, or used, and I'd recommend it without hesitation. From favorite Miami Beach spots and great food and drink to Amazon finds, clothing, tech, and services I trust, these are the places and products that earned a permanent spot in my rotation. No sponsors, no filler, just honest endorsements from someone who has been there.

I LOVE to read. But there are so many other things that pull us for our time. My favorite time to read is at night, in bed, as a way to wind down from the day. The books in this list are some of my recent favorites that have enhanced my life and taught me something positive.

The tipping point for a great Miami day is a stadium, a sports bar and a good crowd. These are the venues, watering holes and audio gear I count on for football Sundays, Marlins nights and live events, from Hard Rock Stadium to loanDepot park. I have been to the games, watched from the bar stools and listened on the drive over, so every pick has been field tested. No sponsors, no filler, just the places and tools I would send a friend to for a night out in Miami.
