Welcome everybody to It’s IN Miami, your new guide to enjoy the town that’s growing into an interesting metropolis. As 2009 leaves us, and 2010 salutes us, we want to have fun in the transition, find interesting people and discover what this city has for you and only you.
New Year’s Eve is by far, one of the most exciting days of the year. It gives you the opportunity to take a look at what you have accomplished, say goodbye to those moments you won’t miss and start all over again full of hope. So it is a special day that deserves to be relished.
Welcoming not only a new year, but a new decade, in Miami can be quite an experience. You can do it in a luxury hotel, in a fancy restaurant or in the beach under the moonlight. Miami has not a dress code, so you can wear a tuxedo or a casual outfit. It’s whatever makes you feel comfortable. For those who like to plan ahead, for those who just go with the flow, for families, young adults; Miami has something to offer for everyone.
Here’s a few recommendations:

Speaking of champagne, has anybody else noticed what a bargain some of the Spanish Cavas are in comparison to Champagnes and Sparkling Wines?
Hi there people, all human situations have their ups and downs. We feel those of the here and now but never see nor feel those of the future; and so we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and invariably for the worst. HAPPY NEW YEAR
