The Ghee tasting menu for $55 is great. On the menu it says three courses – but you get several dishes for each course. They have two locations now. It’s cool to go to both, they are a little different.

Matheson Hammock Park –The paths that wind back through the hammock are probably the only place you can go in Miami Dade County that show a glimpse of the natural history in South Florida. I especially enjoy finding places where the springs ran through the limestone. They are dry now. It reminds me that we are here temporarily, and those springs are going to run again someday.

For us, having the Grove and South Miami near us is just a delight. Bike rides to dinner, the market, or the movies, is just simple fun!

I feel like a lot of people come to Miami and they go to the beach, and they go and do all the city things. But less than two hours away, they can access the Everglades, which is one of the most beautiful places on this planet. I typically love to drive down Tamiami Trail. On the drive itself, you see so many different changes in terrain. You start with the big plains of saw grass and then you get hammocks and swamp ground. And it just changes as you go. It's known as the Amazon of North America. And that is what it is. It can be terrifying. There's a trail that goes on for miles and miles and miles. You're walking through and there's water on the sides, you'll see hawks and birds. There will be Gators, but you only have your walking stick and make sure you're tapping to get them away. I get through it, but it it's hard for me sometimes it's terrifying.

I don't know if it's a secret, but I love South Point Park. There's something about going to the dog park there. We have two dogs - one that we rescued from the street and one was abandoned at a dog groomer. We love walking along the beach and along the boardwalk during sunset. There's people that play the trumpet out there and yogis doing acro-yoga. It's such a serene vibe and now that the weather's nice, it's my favorite thing to do in Miami.

Senior citizens can audit and attend classes at a state university in Florida (with the instructor’s written permission) for free. But don’t tell anyone or too many people may sign up. Marc has taken lots of tropical botany and plant ID classes.

I'm a really big fan of Babe Froman Meat and Counter. Having a local butcher like them is not something you find too often. Their wagyu vacio is amazing. Their sausages are great and the croquettas are fantastic.

There is a place at Deering point. If you're going to Black Point and you keep going straight, there's a pier. We'll take a bike trailer and bring our pales of live shrimp and we'll fish.

Nowadays I think I would probably take them to Wynwood, because you can walk around and there's some good breweries. But it's not a big secret. It's almost becoming too touristy. We probably have to go out and explore more to try to find more local spots where we can get a good beer and see some music. Those are like little things I miss about New York, or even in smaller towns, that you can always find a little bar with some music somewhere. I wish we had more of that in Miami.
