PHOTOGRAPHY : CHARITY BETH LONG
Far from the Florida of Disney ’ s invention lies the authentic , multicultural grit of Miami . It ’ s a young city , but what it lacks in age , it makes up in diversity .
Art Deco districts , every cuisine of food imaginable , modern art and even a reconstructed European monastery — this city and its environs have it all . Retro charm meets hipster cool in a locale where you are just as likely to get an old-fashioned swizzle stick in your cocktail as you are to see graffiti murals .
