South Beach is home to a superb new Moroccan restaurant,
Ta-zin, where French expatriates have found a home.
Featuring authentic Moroccan cuisine — including pastillas, cous-cous and tagines — this exotic new entry in the Miami Beach restaurant scene also heats up weekend nightlife with belly dancers and a very relaxed crowd.
On a recent Wednesday night the restaurant had many tables of French speaking guests, who lingered talking and enjoying the ambiance long after the tables were cleared. The cuisine is just as good as the better Moroccan places in Paris and is served by well-trained staff that seem to anticipate customer needs without being overly intrusive. It is a pleasant change from many South Florida restaurants, where the staff thinks it perfectly acceptable to interrupt their customers in mid-conversation.
Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food, professional demeanor of the staff and lovely “nights of Arabia” décor.

A fabulous new yachting resort, “The Residences” at Island Gardens Miami by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, will break ground late 2009 on Miami’s Watson Island. Watson Island is ideally situated between Miami and Miami Beach and boasts some of the loveliest water views in the region .
The stunning mixed-use development will include private residences in the Shangri-La Hotel, available through either full or fractional ownership. The ownership plans include use of the development’s yachts, anchored at what will be Miami’s only mega-yacht marina.
The development will include high-end international retail shops, a selection of waterfront restaurants from cafes to celebrity chef venues, and a super luxurious spa in the hotel. Developers say that of the 100 private residences, about 17 have already been spoken for. Prices range from $215,000 for a one-eighth share of a small unit to $10,000,000 for a penthouse unit, which are only sold as full ownership units.
A one-eight ownership will purchase 45 days of use, plus two days of yacht use. Rentals are permissible. The project is expected to finish construction at the end of 2011.

Des amis européens sont venus nous rendre visite récemment et cela après une absence de près de cinq ans. Ils étaient pour le moins impressionnés par la propreté de la ville et se sentaient particulièrement « safe » même après avoir vu et revu « Les experts : Miami » !
« South Beach a complètement changé depuis notre passage » nous dirent-ils. « Les rues sont impeccablement entretenues, sereines et on s’y sent totalement à l’aise, même tard (ou tôt) la nuit » . La présence de la police y joue un rôle important.
Nous ne pouvons que confirmer leurs commentaires. Il y a à South Beach un réel sens de communauté parmi les résidents. Nous habitons au cœur de South Beach et nous promenons dans la ville à toute heure du jour ou de la nuit et nous y sentons tout a fait à l’aise.

European friends recently visiting here after a five-year hiatus were impressed with how clean and safe our streets are now. “South Beach has totally changed since we were last here,” they said. “The streets are impeccably maintained; the streets are peaceful and feel safe even late at night. There is a police presence to keep things that way.”
We can only concur. There is a strong neighborhood feeling in South Beach among residents. We walk the streets from dawn to late at night and have always felt comfortable.
