New Year's Eve in Miami was like a star-studded red carpet that led to the main event; the welcoming of 2011! If you had lots of money to fritter away and the desire to celebrate NYE the right way, then Miami was the place to be. Not only did the city have probably the best weather in the country, an exceedingly pleasant 64 degrees, but it was also chosen by some of the hottest artist as the "it" place to spend their NYE. Whether one was looking to party like a rockstar on the last day of 2010 or simply dine out in style, there was quite an extensive list of things to do in Miami.
If you wanted to sing your heart away to pop mega star Usher, then downtown Miami's AAA arena was the place to be last night! Breakthrough Hip Hop star of the year "Drake" took down the stylish W South Beach Hotel. I don't know if his show was "the fuc**ing best" but judging from the pictures it did seem like lots of fun. A little further up Collins avenue Jamie Foxx's distinctive voice was well heard at LIV (the Fountainebleu's modish nightclub). Also at the Fountainebleu, but spinning poolside was the incomparable Dutch musical sensation DJ Tiesto, this was probably the priciest show with tickets ranging from $3,500- to $25,000!
While there were many to choose from, if dining out was in your plans the "New Year's Eve with sophistication" at STK and "New Year's Eve Dinner" at the Forge were both excellent options.
Parties like "Bloody Mary NYE" at The Delano, and "Don't Tell my Booker" at Set nightclub seemed promising, as well as, seaside performances in Ocean drive by Leona Lewis and Natasha Bedingfiled.
Overall, there were NYE celebrations all over the city and I'm sure it was an unforgettable night for all of those who chose to go out but.... THAT'S SO LAST YEAR!
I am looking forward to the upcoming 2011 events!
BRING ON THE ARTS:
-Beginning the year righteously The Beux Arts Festival of Art will take place from January 8 to the 9th at the Lowe Art Museum in the University of Miami. The event is dedicated to the Art of the United States, and will gather everything from art lovers to students, and the artists themselves.
