Miami Beach, FL – January 26, 2016 – Midtown Miami, the epicenter of shopping, dining and urban living in the metropolitan core of the city has emerged as one of the most sought-after culinary scenes, exploding with a flurry of tastes and dining styles for all palates. Sitting between the downtown business district, the hip Wynwood neighborhood and the über-luxury Miami Design District, the new Hyde Suites & Residences Midtown Miami joined Ocean Drive magazine to feature A TASTE OF MIDTOWN highlighting the area’s most exciting restaurants including Bocce, SUGARCANE raw bar grill, Salumeria, Apeiro Kitchen & Bar, Midtown Oyster Bar as well as the new Wynwood hotspot Beaker & Gray. The invitation-only, culinary and wine-paired event was hosted by WSVN FOX Channel-7 anchor Belkys Nerey, who also hosts her own popular culinary segment, “Bite With Belkys”. VIPs and tastemakers enjoyed wines by Aveníu Brands paired with innovative, epicurean hors d’oeuvres from participating restaurants.
