    New in Midtown Miami

    Midtown is no longer no man's land. Ever since the Miami neighborhood debuted a couple of years ago, there was little but slick condo towers, a Target and Loehman's. Today, two new European-inspired hot spots stand a chance of luring folks away from downtown and the neighboring Design District. Low-slung sofas, plush, zebra-striped rugs and a bevy of bartenders that look like they belong on a hip, MTV reality show give the Bardot lounge (bardotmiami.com) a dark and sexy vibe - as does co-owner Josh Fisher.

    We had a blast at our very first Weekend of Discovery, held at the Jupiter Beach Resort (jupiterbeachresort.com). I really like the resort's rich traditional interior (think British Colonial/Tommy Bahama). This gem on the Atlantic coastline has a fabulous spa and Sinclairs, a wonderful gourmet dining spot. Our Weekend of Discovery room rate included a spa treatment, a wine-paired dinner and a Sunday jazz brunch.

    Touring Sarasota's Opera House

    I had a chance to tour the Sarasota Opera House (sarasotaopera.org) recently and even caught a glimpse of a young performer practicing his role in Verdi's La Traviata. One of only a dozen or so opera houses still in the country, the Sarasota Opera is celebrating 50 years. A stunning and surprisingly intimate venue (approximately 1,100 seats), it's also used by the Sarasota Symphony and Ballet.  I stood on the stage looking outward, humbled by the talent that had graced this historic space.

    I recently found myself surrounded by what seemed like a zillion pink American flamingos at Sarasota Jungle Gardens (sarasotajunglegardens.com). With a fistful of grub that I bought for a quarter from a dispenser, these gentle, gorgeous birds came right over to feast on the tiny food pellets. Over the years, hundreds of abandoned, abused and unwanted "exotics" and other animals like these flamingos have called this overgrown botanical paradise home. Check it out the next time you're in the area.
