Presidente Bar — Presidente Bar Miami

Miami’s cocktail scene just got a major upgrade. This week, Presidente Bar, the legendary Buenos Aires-based cocktail institution, opens its doors in Wynwood, marking the bar’s highly anticipated U.S. debut. Known for its cinematic interiors and immersive drinking experiences, Presidente arrives with serious global acclaim, having earned a coveted spot on The World’s 50 Best Bars list and a #21 worldwide ranking in 2021.

Originally founded in 2017 inside a beautifully restored national heritage mansion in Buenos Aires’ Recoleta neighborhood, Presidente Bar quickly became a destination for cocktail lovers around the world. The vision comes from Sebastián “Seba” García, the bar’s Co-Founder and Creative Director, widely celebrated as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Figures in the Cocktail Industry by Drinks International. Now, Miami drinkers have the chance to experience the magic firsthand.

“It’s an honor to open Presidente’s first U.S. location right here in Miami,” says García. “The city’s energy reminds me of Buenos Aires – bold, inventive, and full of soul. We’re bringing that same spirit to Wynwood and look forward to serving cocktails that tell stories, creating spaces that spark emotion, and sharing our deep love for hospitality.”

Presidente Bar Miami offers seating for 160 guests across two spaces: a 100-seat main room and the hidden La Biblioteca, which seats 60.

The cocktail menu, crafted by Sebastián García, highlights native ingredients and bold Latin American flavors. Signature drinks include the Un Beso Más with rye and cacao, the refreshing Patagonia Fix, the aromatic Mezcalicus, the Mexpresso Martini, and the spicy Daiquiriña.

The bar also offers premium wines, rare sakes like Senkin Modern “Muku” Junmai Daiginjo, and international beers.

Executive Chef Kevin Acosta leads the globally inspired food menu, featuring shareable plates and Latin American flavors with a Florida twist. Standouts include Kale & Spinach Fritters, Crispy Causa with pulpo, Wagyu Sliders, Porcini Ravioli, Patagonian Pink Risotto, a 14oz Ribeye, and a raw bar with ceviches and tiraditos. Desserts like the Piña Colada Pavlova and Flanbrûlée de Dulce de Leche round out the experience.

The Obelisks of Rome: A pointed walking tour

Take a walk into history with these fascinating Roman landmarks

City, Architecture, Building

When you walk around Rome, no matter which way you turn, you are likely to see the sky pierced by an obelisk. It is a defining part of the Roman skyline. But they don’t really belong here. Rome is a city that has never been shy about borrowing greatness. Few monuments illustrate that better than its obelisks. While these towering stone needles feel quintessentially Roman today, they began life in ancient Egypt, most carved along the Nile. While there, they were associated with the sun god and served as symbols of divine favor and royal power. Today, Rome boasts thirteen ancient obelisks, more than anywhere else in the world, including Egypt itself.

Their journey to Rome began after Augustus conquered Egypt following the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra in 30 BCE. Bringing obelisks to the capital was more than an exercise in decorating the city; it was a statement of conquest. Egypt's sacred monuments had become Roman trophies, proclaiming that a new empire now enjoyed the favor of the gods. Later emperors continued importing obelisks, scattering them across circuses, temples, and public spaces.

Ermoupoli, Greece

We're well into another busy summer for European travel. But this summer, travelers have discovered the hardest part of planning a trip isn't so much choosing where to go -- it’s securing access to sought-after accommodations and experiences once in destination. According to a recent summer travel trends report by Classic Vacations, the leading luxury travel advisor resource, Europe continues to lead summer bookings with strong demand across Italy, Greece, France, Spain, and Portugal.

Within these destinations, premium room categories and suites are increasingly booking 9–12 months in advance. Sought-after experiences such as hard-to-secure restaurant reservations, private transfers and guides, yacht charters, beach clubs, and iconic attractions are also filling months ahead of travel dates, creating a new reality where advance planning and local expertise are becoming increasingly essential.
