#TheDowntowners' Ultimate Art Basel Itinerary

Julia & Henry’s “Around the World… in 25 bites” may have concluded, but this season’s Art Basel events are far from over.

Want to know our itinerary? 

Thursday, we’re making our grand entrance at the launch of The Roystone’s Signature ‘World’s Best’ Series, in which the new Downtown cocktail bar will play host to a rotation of the world’s top 100 bars. Locale Firenze, ranked #46 on the World’s 50 Best Bar list, is the first to make its debut and we hear the mixologists behind this award-winning concept will be bringing five of their favorites straight from Florence. You know what that means: come Thursday, we will be taking our taste buds to Italy and conversing with the crème de la crème of cocktail connoisseurs. How classy of us. 

Friday, we’ll be spending our day frolicking around Miami’s original and longest-running contemporary art fair, Art Miami. Located in One Herald Plaza, we’ll be treating ourselves to only the most important works from the 20th and 21st centuries.

But the fun doesn’t end there, Feasters, at 7pm, we’re crossing the bridge and heading into Brickell for Pubbelly Sushi’s Paint & Sip event, where we plan to, well, paint and sip. A little birdie told us that Pubbelly partnered with local artist Danny Doya to design a unique plate serving as the canvas for a limited-edition Tora Doya Crispy Rice complete with crispy rice, toro, ponzu, wasabi sauce, caviar and chives. Safe to say we’ll be bringing our appetites. 

Saturday, we will be right back where it all began - at Julia & Henry’s - to watch as renowned custom shoe designer Pisos by Tatz (@pisosbytatz) live paints a pair of Julia & Henry’s-branded Air Force 1s and colors us impressed. 

Later in the evening, we will be heading to Miami Beach to hit the Satellite Art Show; No Vacancy, Miami Beach; and perhaps one of those interactive credit card exhibitions on the Beach. There’s just no telling where we’ll go and who we’ll meet.  
Sunday, sweet Feasters, is our day of repose. After all, navigating the city's hottest spots is no small feat. You might find us meditating at The Standard Hotel’s Wellness Oasis or luxuriating in some much-needed R&R in the confines of our palatial homes.

Sitting in traffic,
