After a weekend in South Florida’s city of plenty, screenwriter Mark Miller was ready for a vacation. After all, just how many South Beach (that’s SoBe to those in the know) nightclubs, corned-beef sandwiches, sailing trips, museum visits, and champagne brunches can one person take?

Miller makes the Miami rounds, learning about all the neon-dressed, deco-diva landmarks; the thinking behind the great gardens and gorgeous architecture at Vizcaya (originally the estate of International Harvester heir John Deering); and the reason why Jack Nicholson’s picture graces a wall at Jimbo’s—a tucked-away, down-home spot for shrimp and beer. A playful mix of luxe and laid-back, man-made and nature-blessed, Miller’s Miami sizzles.
