The New York Times hasn't been particularly kind to Miami in recent months. Back in August, the storied publication skewered our fair city with an ill-advised editorial by Miami native Pamela Druckerman. Druckerman lambasted the city's lack of culture with an appalling absence of insight.
But that's in the past, and all is forgiven. We're snubbed, no longer! The newspaper recently saw fit to include Miami Beach in its list of 52 places to visit in 2015.
Miami Beach came in at number 45 on the lengthy list, wedged between two Chinese cities: Shanghai (46) and Chengdu (44). Orlando came in at number 13.
The paper led the section with the headline: "A white-sand spot is getting seriously fancy." The write-up centers around the upcoming Faena District, a mega development scheduled to open north of South Beach this summer. Names are dropped: Baz Luhrmann, Ian Schrager, Norman Foster, Tommy Hilfiger. Superfluous adjectives used: unprecedented, gleaming.
