PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS FROM FAENA ROSE | WINTER 2021 

Documentary filmmaker and lifelong Miamian Billy Corben—with his cutting humor and unparalleled energy—engaged members in a night of storytelling about his six-part docuseries, Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami. 

Wall Street Journal tech reporter and CNBC contributor Tim Higgins provided a look into Elon Musk’s mind, in a conversation about his recent book POWER PLAY: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century.

NY Times food columnist and renowned author, chef, and speaker Mark Bittman joined Faena Rose for a thought-provoking conversation as part of its Wellness Series. Bittman, who’s written more than 20 books on global 
food culture and policy, discussed his latest— Animal, Vegetable, Junk: A History of Food from Sustainable to Suicidal, and members were treated to a copy.

Harvard School of Medicine Genetics Professor Dr. Robert C. Green, MD, MPH introduced members to Precision Medicine and Genomics—emerging approaches to disease treatment and prevention that take into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. The doctor also provided a limited number of personal consultations following the lecture.

US Army veteran-turned- death-defying photographer Isaac Wright shared his unbelievable story and images. In an intimate talk, he recounted his journey from tough childhood and devastating military service to the daring artistic pursuits that helped him cope with PTSD: shooting images from the tops of buildings, statues, and bridges that he’d scaled. The stunning photos shot from these heights and perspectives led to social media popularity, followed by a nationwide manhunt and four months of incarceration….and ultimately—to his calling as an NFT artist and an avid activist for social justice and prison reform.

In an exclusive, after-hours experience at the world’s first Museum of Graffiti, members witnessed famed street artist Saber complete and install artwork for his upcoming show—in such proximity that some even became part of the art! The event was preceded by a private tour of the museum, and followed by a Q&A with the artist.

Additionally, Rose hosted fun Social Series events, including a dog Halloween costume mixer: Biscuits, Bones & Bellinis, and film screenings including Roadrunner: A Film about Anthony Bourdain and The Lost Leonardo, the story behind the most expensive painting ever sold.

"Faena Rose provides world-class programming for an exclusive group of members who are passionate about art and culture, and also care deeply about the world in which we live. ”

Where Fire and Flavor Ignite

"What makes Los Fuegos truly extraordinary is our commitment to the ancient art of cooking with fire,” explained Yassine Belkady, the restaurant’s manager. “We use no electricity whatsoever—just fire, wood ovens, and tradition” Everything has that distinctive char, those bold, nearly burnt flavors that taste almost primal. “When you dine here, you can literally smell the wood and rosemary in the air,” he added. The restaurant’s setting matches its culinary panache. By day, the veranda transforms into an airy ambience when its retractable roof opens to Miami’s brilliant skies. Guests enjoy lunch while overlooking the property’s stunning pool, creating what Belkady called “a completely different experience than any other hotel or restaurant in Miami.”

Beneath the Tree of Life

Mornings here unfold slowly while guests sip on fresh-pressed juices—like the South Beach, a tropical elixir of coconut water, local citrus, mango, and strawberry, or a vitamin-rich Green Juice packed with spinach, kale, ginger, cucumber, celery and green apple. “The tranquility makes it really special,” noted Joshua Rodriguez, Director of Nightlife. “It’s a place where guests can grab a coffee, a light bite and relax or catch up on some emails.” A menu of delicious appetizers is great for snacking throughout the day, including crispy artichokes with sesame yogurt and sourdough breadcrumbs; prime rib empanadas with llajua sauce; and a vegan option of steamed veggie rice with sweet potato and broccoli. Come golden hour, the energy shifts. On weekends from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, resident DJs set the mood as the bar transitions into a laidback sundowner haunt. The CopaCabana cocktail, a tropical indulgence of banana and apricot liqueur, coconut cream, allspice, and Bulleit Rye, is a guest favorite. “People order it because it’s served in a Faena-branded coconut, but it’s the taste that makes them request another one,” said Rodriguez.
