Wynwood Yard
56 NW 29th St

Wynwood
Miami, FL
With the mercury topping thermometers this time of year, most Wynwood galleries are reaching into their stable of talent with ubiquitous summer group offerings designed to move merch from their deep freeze and into your living room.

FEATURED RESTAURANTS
Villa Azur brings a new experience to the South Beach dining scene combining excellent cuisine with a vibrant atmosphere. This elegant gourmet restaurant offers tantalizing French Mediterranean dishes prepared with an Italian twist. The food can be paired with a choice of the finest wines from the restaurants in-house wine cellar called La Cave d'Azur, or with a signature cocktail from the extensive drink list.
See also the newest addition to the family,
Lilikoi
Being near the ocean makes many of us want to enjoy meals that are light and fresh--food that makes you feel good. And the new South of Fifth restaurant Lilikoi (pictured at top) is just the place to do it. Using mostly organic ingredients and hormone-free meats, you'll find it's easy to eat clean and/or vegan. Mahi-mahi burgers, green leaf quinoa wraps, and vegan nacho platters are among the inspiring meal choices you can make at Lilikoi.
Spitfire Doner Kebab
How often do you get to have German street food for lunch in Miami?
Spitfire
is a relatively new spot on SoBe that folks are already raving about. It's got a sub shop feel in that you pick your bread (or bowl), then add protein and toppings accordingly, starting at $8.50. Don't forget to add some awesome sauce (pun intended) like tzatziki, curry, or garlic sauce to add some life to your lunch.

FAB 5
The season is here!
We are fully stocked with everything you'll need to in your hunt for the delicious Florida Lobster (nets, gauges, tickle sticks, gloves, lights, etc). Don't wait until the last minute to have your gear and tanks serviced or you can expect long wait times. We do not take tank rental reservations, however we have not run out of tanks in the last three years.
Florida's only drive-through safari and walk-through amusement park invites you to spend the day on safari with over 900 animals. With animal displays and encounters, animal feeding experiences, 5 rides, water sprayground, food, shopping and more, you are sure to have a memorable experience at Lion Country Safari.
4) Kaziranga Camp Rhino Encounter
Powerful, large and in charge, the rhinos at Zoo Miami are often a favorite for many visitors. Their massive bodies, covered with an armor-like exterior, make them seem quite intimidating and maybe even frightening. That is, until you get to know them. At the Kaziranga Camp Rhino Encounter, visitors have the opportunity to meet Suru, our Indian Rhinos.
5) Private Airboat Rides
O
ur 1 hour private tour takes you further into the open sawgrass prairies to a little island only accessible by airboat. On the island, you will see an old cabin used as a camp by the Glades
men
. On our return trip we will bring you through the Coopertown trail were we will look for Bird, Alligators, Turtles and other flora and fauna we might find along the way.

COOL APPS & TECH
Yahoo Live Text 
iOS/Android
Texting is convenient, but video chatting is far more personal. Yahoo's Livetext (free on
iOS
and
Android
) blends those two ideas: It's a video-chatting app with no sound. Instead of talking, you communicate by typing out messages.
Gallery Doctor
We've seen - and covered - tons of apps that claim to free you of the thousand-image-deep mess of your Camera Roll. But, none of them actually fix the issue: The plethora of reject shots from all the moments you don't care to save. Gallery Doctor (free on iOS and Android) scans your camera's photo library for images that are duplicates, blurry, or have bad lighting; then, it gives you a chance to review and delete them.
TripR 
Just because you're traveling solo doesn't mean you need to be solo the whole time. Use Tripr (free on iOS and Android) to find friends, acquaintances, and brand new besties who are also traveling or are located where you're headed.
