Twenty-three blocks, and we know all of them

Who writes this

• RVRenata VieiraSenior EditorRenata edits this guide and enforces the distinction the rest of it depends on: South Beach is part of Miami Beach, which is a separate city from Miami. She covers the practical end — causeways, garages, meters, spring break rules and whatever the city has decided about Ocean Drive this year — and cuts any sentence that would also be true of Fort Lauderdale.
• JMJulian MarshArchitecture & Design EditorJulian walks the district for a living and can tell a 1930s deco hotel from its Mediterranean-revival neighbour at forty paces. He writes the buildings: eyebrow awnings, porthole windows, terrazzo floors, the 1979 National Register listing, and Barbara Capitman's decade of standing in front of demolition crews. He will also tell you which lobbies you are allowed to walk into.
• DSDominique Saint-ClairNightlife & Dining EditorDominique covers the island after dark and the island at brunch, which on these twenty-three blocks turn out to be the same subject. She writes Washington Avenue door policies, hotel bars, and the automatic service charge that lands on an Ocean Drive bill before you have added a tip. She eats one street back, and tells you where.
