I recently joined the “Meet Your Neighbors” event at Mary Brickell Village, a networking event where I had the chance to visit the Restaurants’ tasting stations with complimentary appetizers.  Soon after I learned that, the Village offers fine dining, shopping, live entertainment and cultural attractions.

Located within minutes of the Miami International Airport, Brickell has an excellent array of luxury hotels including The Four Seasons, The Conrad Hilton, The Mandarin Oriental and the JW Marriott. Miami’s trendy South Beach and Coconut Grove are also only minutes away by car.
