Hi C,

Your New Year’s in Amsterdam sounds amazing! Miami is one of the greatest cities in the world. Amazing food, great weather and good friends… what else could you possibly need to have a perfect New Year’s? On New Year’s Eve my friends and I went to Bazi on Collins Avenue for our last meal of 2015. We ordered everything from Scallion Pancakes to Cantonese Style Florida Shrimp to Short Rib Chow Fun. It’s a great place to order several dishes and share.

Later that night, we went to the Shelborne Hotel in Miami Beach to meet up with other friends that were in town for the weekend and celebrate the new year. The music and the vibe were on pointtt.

To celebrate the first day of the new year, we went to Soho Beach House in Miami Beach. The weather was perfect and the view was incredible. My friends and I tanned most of the afternoon and listening to the sound of the waves was really relaxing. We stayed until the sunset and it was one of the prettiest sunsets I’ve ever seen.

Before going out, we stopped by Spris on Lincoln Road for dinner. The Nutellino was to die for. It’s probably my favorite dessert. That night we went to Wall and Mynt in Miami Beach, and had a blast.

There was no better way to celebrate the first day of 2016.
