John took us on a very informative tour from Sunny Isles all the way to South Beach. It was great to learn more about the history of the area dating back thousands of years and such places as Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, South Beach and many others. We also had a wonderful experience seeing many manatees during the first half of the day tour in three different places. John knows all the best spots to see these magical locals. Thanks for a great experience!

John is a treasure trove of insight and information! He was personable, engaging and incredibly passionate about Miami. As a native, he was able to provide us with an insider's perspective of the city. He listened well and used our questions to tailor the tour to our interests. This was an amazing experience because of John!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our excursion with John & Miami Native Tours. I've taken city tours of Miami before and John was by far the most entertaining, informative, and accommodating guide I have ever had. We booked a custom tour for 4 for 10am on a Fri, but had to push the pick-up time back due to a conference call one of us unexpectedly had to take and John was very understanding about that. He arrived exactly at our revised pick-up time. He stored our bags in the back of his van and we were off. I had been craving a pastelito since my last trip to miami, so our first stop was a little stand to get pastelitos and coffee. While we ate, John asked about our interests and what we had already seen in Miami, so that he could take us somewhere we hadn't been before. We saw some amazing outdoor art installations in Wynwood, then learned about some of the African-American history of Miami in Overtown and the Black Grove. We also got to drive through Star Island, which I had only ever sailed or driven past before. My previous tours had been mostly South Beach and Little Havana, so this was a nice departure. In addition to pointing out the homes of the famous, John debunked some myths for us - like Rosie O'Donnell never lived on Star Island which I'd heard many times before. When our tour was done, John dropped us off at the cruiseship terminal. It was a fabulous way to spend some time before our evening cruise sailing. I cannot recommended Miami Native Tours highly enough. We enjoyed our tour so much, we took another one when we returned from our cruise!

I have used John from Miami Native Tours several times now and I am impressed at the prompt professional personal service I have received every time. John is very knowledgeable of the area and each time we take a different route to my destination and get to see more of Miami's landmarks and history. I am from Connecticut so when John took us to a little public area where the Manatee hang out I found it fascinating. We speak about John and our ride long after our trip, his facts are fun and exciting.

Jennifer Lopez Cancels Tour: 'I Am Completely Heartsick and Devastated'

The singer released her ninth studio album 'This is Me… Now' in February.

Jennifer Lopez delivered some bad news to fans this week.

The singer took to her website , OntheJLo, to announce that her This is Me…Live Tour slated for this summer has been canceled. “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends,” a statement from Live Nation representatives on the site said.

J Lo also penned a message to her fans. "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary."

She added, "I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…"

Lopez’s tour was set to kick off in June and make its way through a number of North American cities through August. Her ninth studio album This is Me… Now arrived in February.

According to TMZ, there was some talk of weak ticket sales at the start of May. According to sources, this wasn’t the reason for the cancellation, and ticket sales improved over the course of the month.

Over the last few months, rumors about her and Ben Affleck divorcing have been making the rounds. The couple appear to no longer live together , with the actor moving out of their Beverly Hills family home and into a rental in Brentwood.

Still, they have been spending time together in public, with TMZ also reporting on Friday that the pair were seen holding hands when leaving the high school graduation of one of Ben’s daughters. TMZ does note that they both looked “tense,” left the graduation separately, and returned to their separate residences.

Neither celebrity has addressed the state of their marriage.

Bon Appétit Culinary Getaways

By The Bon Appétit Staff

Update 5/7/24: Our Culinary Getaway to Peru with Valerie and Nando Chang has been cancelled. We add itineraries often, so please check back here when you're ready to plan your next dream vacation.

In our 2022 Travel Issue we featured stories on  Northern Italy and  France . While editing those pieces, we couldn’t help but daydream about traveling, specifically on excursions where food and wine were front and center. We’re pleased to share that those daydreams have become a reality with Bon Appétit Culinary Getaways, a series of expert-guided, food- and wine-centric tours.

In  November 2023 , sommelier Victoria James, director of beverage at Gracious Hospitality Management, the restaurant group behind Michelin-starred COTE, cocktail bar UNDERCOTE, and COTE Wine Club, led a small group of a travelers on  a trip to France’s Champagne region , followed by a couple of glorious days in Paris. We found out which Parisian wine bars are draws for a respected sommelier and which chocolatiers she frequents. The trip to Champagne included visits to small boutique family-owned wineries as well as to the world-renowned House of Krug in Reims. Travelers dined at restaurants, including Les Avizés in Champagne and small bistros beloved by locals. Between food and wine adventures, visits were paid to Gothic churches, UNESCO sites, and fossil-rich caves.

Also in  November 2023 , Chef Stefano Secchi of the Michelin-starred Rezdôra led  a trip to Piedmont in Italy’s northwest. Secchi introduced travelers to chefs, artisans and winemakers he admires from having trained there. The small group experienced Slow Food at its finest in the region where it was born, dining on exquisite local produce from Castelmagno cheese to truffles and hazelnuts. They also explored the vineyards of the Langhe and Roero, home to Italy’s best wines (Barolo and Barbaresco) and a top destination for any discerning wine connoisseur. Turin, of course, was also included, with its varied architecture and delicious food.

Black Miami Matters

Black Miami Matters Tour combines the most scenic and historic places in Miami.  It brings back Spanish Florida’s black history when the King of Spain declared Florida a “Slave Sanctuary” in the 1600’s, lasting until Andrew Jackson annexed Florida and tried to send Native Americans to Oklahoma and recapture the thousands of Africans living in Florida.  

Meaning the Underground Railroad went south thru Florida before it ever went north, provoking a 40 year war against the Seminoles, Miccosukee and Black Seminoles.  

The tour focuses heavily on Miami’s under appreciated role in the 1950’s and 60’s civil rights movement, with the Hampton Hotel the highlight of the tour.  Plus this crazy mix of cultures scattered thru Dade County.  

For groups > 13 you need your own bus.  Academy has a great driver, Ben, that i work well with as a step on guide. 2-3 stops per 4 hour tour.

Black Miami neighborhoods covered are:

Stops to choose from:

Coconut Grove

• Liberty City
• Little Haiti

Brownsville

• Hampton House  
• Black Police Precinct
• Lyric Theater (if open)
• Haitian Heritage Museum
• Key Biscayne Lighthouse
• Virginia Key Beach

Brownsville’s Historic Hampton House is where “One Night in Miami” was filmed.  The guides make this the highlight of the day.  Nearby is  Georgette’s Tea room and the Lincoln Cemetery.  

Liberty City, Lemon City, Little Haiti, Little River.  Even locals don’t know where one ends and the other begins.

Recommended time 30-60 minutes.  

The 1980 McDuffie Riots left a scar still visible today.  A decorated Marine popped a wheelie on his motorcycle and wound up beaten to death by police.  An all white jury found the police not guilty and all hell broke loose.  

Overtown was the heart and soul of Miami’s black community before construction of the I-95 highway nearly destroyed it. Overtown is enjoying a kind of renaissance with new residence buildings, restaurants and spillover from Wynwood’s growth. The Black Police Precinct, the Lyric Theater, Dana Dorsey’s house, Dorsey field and all the1890’s churches all highlight Overtown rich history.

• Bahamian Coconut Grove (West Grove) – Home to many 4th and 5th generation Grove families, Shotgun homes, Father Gibson’s church,  GW Carver k-12, Stirrup House, an apartheid wall, and the cemetery where Thriller was filmed.  
• Recommended time is 30-45 minutes between the West Grove and Black Gables

Black Coral Gables

A black neigborhood in Coral Gables?  Wasn’t that illegal?  Yes, Coral Gables was a Restricted neighborhood, and kind of still is. However, George Merrick left two areas on the other side of US1 for his Bahamian workers.  Anywhere you see the white stone street sign on the ground you are in the Gables. Few shotgun homes are left.

Wynwood is one of the best stops on any tour.  The graffiti capital of the world.  Once the Puerto Rican barrio, Roberto Clemente was the leader of the first all black Pittsburgh Pirates that won a World Series.  Roberto Clemente park lies in the shadows of the ultra chic Edgewater condos facing Biscayne Bay.

To enter Wynwood Walls now requires pre-registration and a fee, killing that special pre pandemic vibe Wynwood Walls had.  

The Museum of Graffiti next door is a also a nice stop.  

Recommended time in Wynwood is 20 minutes without a stop.  An hour with a stop.

Key Biscayne

• Bill Baggs Lighthouse – A National Underground Railroad Monument.  Hours open can be tricky.
• The Lighthouse overlooks Stiltsville and the beautiful reefs of Biscayne National Park.  This was where Africans and Native Americans fled on boats to the Bahamas and Cuba to avoid being returned to their slave owner or sent on the Trail of Tears to a reservation in Oklahoma.
• Recommended time 45-60 minutes, maybe more if combined with Virginia Key beach

Bahamian born Father Gibson was an iconic civil rights leader with churches in Coconut Grove and Overtown. 

Athalie Range was born in Key West to Bahamian parents, another iconic civil rights leader that was in President Carter’s limo when the the limo was pelted w rocks right after the McDuffie riots.  

Virginia Key

Pictured on the left is Dr. John Brown, another iconic civil rights leader.  His wife still maintains the church they built, Church of the Open Door, in the heart of Liberty CIty.  

Virginia Beach was created in August 1945 after Rev Mundi and a dozen other WWII veterans went swimming at Haulover Beach, an all white beach.  The white people went crazy.  A week later the city created Virginia Key beach.  Usually this tour just passes by the beach, but a stop can be requested. 

• In the heart of Liberty City is Pork and Beans aka Liberty Square, now deserted (pictured left), replaced by lovely apartments (pictured right). 
• I want to know what the Related Group got in return for their beautiful work on Liberty Square.  Related projects are scattered all over Liberty City and Brownsville.

Why does the Black Miami Matters tour obsess over Muhammad Ali? 

In Miami we say Cassius Clay was born in Louisville, Muhammad Ali was born in Miami.   

Miami is where Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston in the most famous fight in boxing history.  The F.B.I. was so scared of Clay’s new friendship with Malcolm X and Clay’s joining the Nation of Islam, the FBI considered  canceling the fight at the Miami Beach Convention Center.  

I always pass by Muhammad Ali’s home passing from Brownsville to Liberty City on the Black Miami Matters tour.  A very simple house.  

Spanish Florida began Black history in the United States in 1513 with Juan Garrido, a native of the Congo, who accompanied conquistador Ponce de Leon to help claim La Florida for the King of Spain.  

Spanish Florida was declared a “Slave Sanctuary” in 1693.  Any  slave escaping British America could live in freedom in Florida if they converted to Catholicism, baptised their children, and defended Florida against British attacks.  Not that they didn’t have slavery (see picture on left).  

St. Augustine was founded in 1565 w mostly native and African population.  A mix of escaped slaves, refugees from other Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, and a few Spanish. 

A black township named Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mosé was built a mile north of the city to defend the city from a British invasion. Today called Fort Mosé.  A visit to this state park will turn the history of Florida upside down from what Tallahassee teaches us.

The 300 years of Spanish Florida history has largely been erased by Tallahassee despite our long Native American and African history.   Led by General Andrew Jackson, America’s first ethnic cleanser, the United States attacked and stole both East and West Florida from Spain, leading to 50 years of war with the Black Seminoles, called the Seminole Wars bc Jackson could never admit his real motive was to recapture slaves for his slaveowner buddies.  Northern states would never have funded a Black Seminole war to recover slaves bc Northern states did not have slaves.  So Jackson lied, saying he had to pacify the savage natives.  

Africans mixed with multiple tribes, Upper Creeks, Lower Creeks, Red Stick Creeks, Miccosukee that were chased into Florida fighting the US Army,  the first war Americans never won.  

Our rich Native American and African history has had bleach poured all over it by Tallahassee.  If you are driving down the state to Miami, you especially need to stop at St. Augustine to push reset on everything you learned about Black history in America.
