On July 25, 2023, Colombian-born celebrity chef Juan Manuel Barrientos’ Michelin-starred Elcielo Miami will open its second location at the SLS South Beach. This marks another milestone for the restaurant’s growing expansion— in addition to Miami, Elcielo currently has locations in Medellín, Bogotá, and Washington, D. C., the latter of which was the first Colombian restaurant to have attained a Michelin star— as well as for SLS South Beach’s portfolio of culinary destinations. The new restaurant will be located at the space previously occupied by The Bazaar by José Andrés, which was reimagined by designer Philippe Starck.
At its original location in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, guests were introduced to the Colombian-inspired tasting menu that celebrates Barrientos’ heritage. This will be available at the SLS South Beach location, and in addition— for the first time— the option to dine ala carte.
“We are thrilled to bring our second Elcielo Miami location to the beautiful SLS South Beach,” Barrientos says in a statement. “Elcielo at SLS South Beach is going to be something unique— this is going to be our first foray into Elcielo a la carte. We are going to have the best Elcielo dishes available. Classic dishes like the corn arepa and caviar, ‘árbol de la vida,’ ribs in guava and tamarind, yucca gnocchi with truffle and sweet plantain honey will be featured but with an innovative twist and will only be available at the new location, not to mention, in a pairing with the best of our cocktail bar options.” These include Chimberito Aguardiente, which features cachaça, soursop, yuzu; and Bogota Sour, built with bourbon, lemongrass, lime and Malbec wine to name a few.
Guests can enjoy signatures like the truffle buñuelos with torched foie gras; crispy crab empanadas infused with Caribbean spice; lulo ceviche in passion fruit milk; roasted quail stuffed with guanciale and mushrooms, and the ultra-photogenic Tree of Life made with cassava, cheese and basil—as individual plates at SLS South Beach.
“Culinary excellence and discovery are at the heart of the SLS South Beach experience,” says Simon Sorpresi, SLS South Beach, Area Vice President. “We are delighted to welcome Elcielo as our esteemed partner in delivering an extraordinary dining experience to our guests.”

Spirit Airlines wants to help travelers make sure they squeeze in a summer trip a sale that has one-way fares starting at just $40.
Some of the best chefs in the world believe that some of the most creative work they do in the kitchen is with vegetables. Plant-based dining has been growing exponentially, with restaurants now taking into consideration this dietary preference when crafting their menus. It has become a lifestyle for many, for reasons ranging from ethical to health to environmental to religious. But one thing is for sure, the momentum is only growing stronger, and for many kitchens, plant-based offerings are no longer just an afterthought or a pity party (i.e., lettuce leaves and a dressing) but high level courses that still celebrate their restaurants’ ethos.
American Airlines will add a pair of new flights from Phoenix next year, flying to Mexico and Washington state for the winter.
If you flew TWA to or from New York before the airline declared bankruptcy for the third and final time, in 2001, your travel experience was elevated by a walk through one of the world’s most enduring architectural spaces.
This coming August, all eyes will turn to the beaches and stadiums of Rio de Janeiro, where the 2016 Summer Olympics will be in full swing. The Games are expected to bring athletes and tourists from across the globe to Brazil, and now for Americans, a huge hurdle has been removed. In a move to stimulate the Brazilian economy, the Brazilian government announced that it will waive visa requirements for citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about discount airlines providing low-fare flights to European cities. London, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen are now an inexpensive Wow Air or Norweigan Air flight away from the U.S.—that is, if you’re willing to forego an in-flight meal and deal with a layover. But many business travelers and membership-savvy flyers aren’t looking for a cheap, lengthy flight sans free food.
As part of an ongoing effort to reassure tourists that Mexico is safe to visit, a new, 2,850-member military police base has opened just outside of Cancun, according to an Associated Press report published in The Washington Post. Military police officers have been used in Mexico to help the local police combat gangs, and it’s expected that a larger security presence near the popular vacation town will help visitors feel safer.
July 4, 2018, figures to be an Independence Day for the record books. It isn’t a noteworthy anniversary of our country’s independence (though we do turn a robust 242 this year); no, this year’s distinction is far more ignominious: Record-breaking traffic.
Looking for a more exciting family vacation than staying local this February break, but not sure you’d be able to afford the airfare?
