SLIM PICKINGS
After working up an appetite while traversing the dizzying array of ultra-luxe boutiques at the Bal Harbour Shops, settle into a leather banquette at Slim’s Steakhouse for a taste of Wagyu and whimsy. The newly opened haunt by the James Beard-awarded restaurateur Stephen Starr was inspired by the golden age of cinema, apparent in the checkerboard flooring, vintage glassware, and Deco mural by artist Tristan Niemann. The menu winds through juicy cuts of American and Japanese Wagyu, dry-aged ribeye, porterhouse, and bone-in strip, plus towering seafood platters, lamb chops, and truffle-stuffed chicken. There are also a few decadent twists on comfort classics, from lobster pigs in a blanket to a $100 cheesesteak dressed with black truffles and foie gras. 9700 Collins Avenue, slimsbalharbour.com
WILD THING
Perched atop Amazonico in Brickell, the Miami outpost of husband-and-wife team Sandro Silva and Marta Seco’s seductive jungle-themed party-dining portfolio thrills with locations across Europe. Selvva is a neon rainforest. Every component was designed to be devoured with delicious abandon: an LED tree stretches across the wall and ceiling, photo-powered light shifts and breathes with the beat, and a custom NEXO sound system provides deeply immersive, heat-thumping clarity. Take a break from the animated dance floor to sink into the velvet splendor of the emerald-hued banquettes, or grab a drink on the open-air rooftop patio. 800 Brickell Avenue, selvva-club.com/locations/miami
RAISE YOUR CUP
The biggest-ever FIFA World Cup will host seven games at Miami Stadium June through July, and one city’s sport scene will take a glamorous turn aboard the SeaFair megayacht, where matchday becomes a floating, after-dark spectacle. Departing from Biscayne Bay, the experience pairs live screenings of tournament games with a four-hour skyline cruise, transforming the simple act of watching the game into a social, high-energy event set against the glittering city at night. Guests move between multiple decks, each with its own rhythm of DJs, lounge spaces, and panoramic views, while an all-inclusive program of gourmet cuisine and open bar service keeps the evening firmly in five-star territory. Tickets begin at $480. seafair-yachts.com
FROM THE TOP
In the heart of Miami’s financial district, a sky-high dining experience just debuted in the gleaming superstructure 830 Brickell. Named Seja after the Roman goddess for sowing seed, the 54th-floor Italian eatery serves up sweeping skyline and bay vistas alongside plates of red wine-braised short rib and creamy risotto dressed with 36-month-aged parmesan and shaved black truffles. The mood leans full elegance, marked by a golden hour color palette, linen-topped tables, and museum-quality art by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring, and more. The restaurant is open to the public, but to access the by-invitation-only Seja Club one flight up, you’ll need to shell out a $25,000 initiation fee. 830 Brickell Plaza, seajamiami.com
ART & SEA
Just offshore from South Beach, Leine is redefining what public art can look like in Miami, trading gallery walls for open ocean. Conceived as a seven-mile underwater sculpture park and hybrid reef, the project unfolds beneath the surface as a living, evolving installation where large-scale artworks double as marine habitats, designed to restore coral ecosystems while inviting snorkelers and divers into an entirely new kind of cultural experience. Its first phase, installed just a swim from the beach, features a surreal “traffic jam” of submerged concrete cars by artist Leandro Erlich, objects that will gradually disappear as coral and marine life reclaim them, transforming a symbol of urban congestion into a platform for regeneration. thereefline.org
