I've been to this museum a few times before and each exhibition is better than the last. Make the time and go check out the two new solo shows that just opened - 'The Garden' by Hiba Schahbaz and 'Field of Dreams' by Diana Eusebio - they are spectacular! Both shows immediately transport you into the artists' worlds. Miami Art Week is one of my favorite times of the year. It's such a privilege to live where everyone vacations!

From food to live music, they hosted a great community fair to showcase local artisans. Some of my favorites were custom made serving trays and coasters as well as the south Asian stall with a fantastic cardamom and cinnamon infused green tea. They seem to have a calendar full of activities. My ultimate favorite is that they have a share seed collection by the door in little alphabetized drawers for the community to give and take seeds for their garden . We didn't have a chance to really browse their book collection, but if the library is any sign of the vibrance of the community then this place is very much alive..

One of the employees, perhaps the manager, described each of the 3 current exhibit. Entrance fee is free for Bank of America customers the first full weekend of the month. I was able to find free and convenient street parking on NE 8th Avenue. The 3 current exhibits are Leigh Gordon, Kanaval a chronology of Haiti's carnival; Dider William and the Victory Garden, which was the reason for my visit. The Victory Garden, in the museum's Paradise Courtyard, is an inspiration to find solutions to food scarcity. You are given a paper bag and encouraged to ship some herbs. Basil, culantro, tomatoes and oregano were just a few plants in the garden. Current hours, according to their website are Mon & Tue, closed; Wed. 12-7; Thur. - Sun. 12-5. Admission is $10 for adults, free for children under 12, veterans and North Miami employees and residents. I would plan on spending 1 -2 hours at the museum. I recommend a visit to MOCA

I discovered the Historic Irons Manor Fountain on a recent visit to North Miami. It was built in 1925 out of limestone and it is the City of Miami's oldest public art. The fountain is actually older than the incorporation date of the City of North Miami. The Irons Manor Fountain stands at the entrance of the Iron Manors subdivision platted in 1926 by developer V. Earl Irons. who followed the principals of design of the then popular City Beautiful movement. The city restored the fountain and had a ribbon cutting ceremony in May of 2019. They added paved walkways, benches, and landscaping around the fountain to create a park setting. I loved discovering this cool piece of Miami history that over 20,000 cars pass by every day.

If you make it on Second Saturday, well, all galleries are open late, and many galleries offer free drinks. Many galleries also have cash bars, if you really want to hang. If you like walking around, this could be a problem. The streets are packed with art lovers. If you like to sit down, this could also be a problem. It's overcrowded, and finding a seat may be a hard commodity to find, but don't lose hope. If you come to Second Saturday, you'll have fun.

She brought ponchos so we could continue on as it rained. It was beautiful to learn about and see this neighborhood through the eyes of someone who grew up here. Toni knows so much history and seemed to know so many of the people, too! The tour has so much food - I was honestly more than full at the end and I didn't even finish all of my portions. I think it was a really good range of drinks, desserts, and food. Even though that coffee cup looks small, that's a full serving size and it was strong! I really really appreciate that this tour not only accommodated for vegetarians but also chose options for me that were realllllly good. Instead of the cubano, I had these fried plantain cups stuffed with veggies. They were SO good and seasoned well! And the spinach and cheese empanada was also amazing. My friend who got the meat options also loved her food. This tour is the perfect way to learn more about Cuban history, the history of the neighborhood, see all the street art, watch a game at domino park, and experience some of the best food in Miami. I cannot recommend this enough!!!

The time went by so quickly and it wouldn't have been the same experience without Mariela as our guide. She is so passionate and knowledgeable. Her energy was so upbeat. I think this a great tour for visitors who want to learn about a culture that shapes Miami as well as locals who want to learn about a neighborhood they may not know the ins and outs of. Mariels brought Cuba to us and we can't thank her enough! We highly recommend this tour!
