Playa Largo Resort & Spa: A Beautiful Escape

For the past few months, we’ve been traveling like crazy: Orlando, Chicago, New York, D.C., Paris, London, Amsterdam … The list goes on. With all these out-of-state (and out-of-the-country) excursions, we forgot about all the awesome stuff in our own backyard.

Thankfully, Playa Largo Resort & Spa reminded us of just how fun a sleepover in the Florida Keys can be. Only an hour away from Miami, the Autograph Collection hotel is among the newest developments in the Upper Keys — and one of the most beautiful.

Since starting the blog, we’ve interviewed many members of the hospitality industry, and one constant among the interviewees has been a profound love for their pets. We thought it would be great to share this love with our readers.

That’s why we launched an ongoing feature called “Wag Wednesday” to showcase industry peeps and their pets. Know someone who wants to be featured? Email us at bark@miamifoodpug.com.

This week, we’re featuring Lesley Adrina, Sous Chef at No Name Chinese, and her pug, Cudi.

When most people think of South Beach, the South of Fifth neighborhood probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Unlike crowded spots like Lincoln Road and its surrounding areas, South of Fifth is a lot more chill — but that doesn’t mean they can’t party.

Each year, we look forward to the annual SoFi culinary tour put together by the team behind South Beach Seafood Festival. ExperienceSOFI was a fun way to discover (or in our case, rediscover) all the different restaurants that call the neighborhood home. Here’s a closer look at this year’s festivities.
