STRUGGLING SOUTH BEACH PINS HOPES ON N.Y. JET SET
It's not even midnight, painfully early to call it a night on South Beach,
but club promoter Jose "Jochy" Ortiz is already parceling out goodnight
kisses to the hipsters who surround the bar at Rumi - one of this party
season's . ...in" spots. •
"I'm exhausted. I need to go to bed, " Ortiz said at the Lincoln Road
restaurant/lounge on a recent weeknight. His job is to scare up bodies for
South Beach's nightlife scene. And that's harder than it used to be.
Even before Sept. 11, many predicted a slowdown for a party destination
that had lost much of its A-list superiority. Madonna and Stallone are long
gone, and with them went the roped-off club VIP sections that once looked like
front row at the Oscars. More fabulousness was drained by the pullout of the
modeling industry, now striking poses in more affordable and less-exposed
locales like South Africa and Spain.
But amid this gloom, many SoBe hospitality and party pushers are finding
rays of hope. The New ,York jet set is finding its way back, lured by a new
influx of hip, high-end Manhattan outposts and a gush of good press. Also
helping are bargain prices and the apparent feeling by many New Yorkers that
while partying in Manhattan feels awkward after Sept. 11, it's more acceptable
in South Beach.
The New York media, which had been down on the town for several seasons,
labeling it tired and hopelessly . .B-list, " is gushing now. In a November
travel story, The New York Times trumpeted new celebrity chefs. New York
•
•
magazine has clocked two stories on clubs and hotels. And the New York Post's
Page Six name-dropped Mynt and mega-club Crobar in a tidbit about a Netscape
billionaire and a woman with nothing but a draft under her miniskirt.
Early signs have raised promoters' hopes. Recent opening nights at Sushi
Samba, Rain, Kiss and Mynt, packed in emissaries from the Manhattan party
crowd along with the local glitterati. Flights between New York and Fort
Lauderdale, now the most traveled air route in the country, have returned to
pre-attack levels.
"There's been an earlier-than-usual influx of buzz-makers, " said Noah
Tepperburg, a New York-based promoter and owner of clubs in Manhattan and the
Hamptons. He recently joined P. Diddy in South Beach to celebrate the rapper's
birthday. "Now that those people are down there, the buzz is out in New
York. "
The Beach has long been known as "the sixth borough" for its symbiotic
relationship with New York, and the connection is even tighter now. Newly
landed on the Beach are restaurants like Sushi Samba and Nobu, and soon,
Cafeteria, joining Joe Allen and Bond St. as extensions of the Manhattan
scene. A new generation of minimalist clubs and restaurant/lounges - Rumi,
Rain, Mynt - aims to offer downtowner sophistication.
SIXTH BOROUGH
The luxe new galaxy also includes the Shore Club Hotel, and restaurants 6
Degrees and Tambo. There's a new incarnation of Liquid, the hotspot formerly
owned by Chris Paciello, and an expansion of the thriving Penrod's complex,
called Barefoot Beach Club at Nikki's, complete with tepees and lounges-'in the
sand.
"People still feel guilty partying in New York, " said high-profile New
York publicist Lizzie Grubman. "But they can come down here and have a great
time for a few days, sit in the sun, do all the nightclubs. "
The hope, says Grubman, is that "people who are afraid to go to St. Barts
will feel OK about coming to South Beach. "
Grubman has been hired by Kiss, Rain and Mynt to deliver even more New
Yorkers to their velvet-roped doors.
NEW YORK FLAIR
"It's all about South Beach right now, " she said. "It had gotten too
commercial, too Banana Republic. But this year there's enough that's new - and
enough that offers that New York flair. "
Overindulgence is passe in some circles nowadays, which would seem to bode
badly for a town caught with a glut of attitude-heavy clubs, high-priced
restaurants: and ultra-luxe hotels. But for the market niche still looking for
a glitzy good time, South Beach can deliver - any night of the week.
On a recent Tuesday, dancers in glitter pasties gyrated atop Lucite
platforms at red-on-red Kiss, where performers eat fire and patrons eat $40
steaks. Girls in tiny skirts and boys with tight abs sprawled across Rumi's
Murphy bed well past 4 a.m. on a Wednesday. Thursday found the Euro crowd,
working Gucci and Dior, loitering purposefully at the bar at Mynt, where the
mint-and-vanilla terrazzo floors gleam anew and the domed lamps look like
giant bisected Tic-Tacs.
"Our standard Wednesday and Thursday nights are what most people's
standards are for thatamazingone night of the year, " said Jennifer Rubell,
owner of the Albion and Greenview hotels on South Beach and the Beach House in
Bal Harbour. "It's ultimately a very escapist feeling. If they're coming to
South Beach, which they are, they're coming for that. "
ART CROWD
Some would like to see them come for other reasons, too. This weekend, the
Beach and Miami have lured a sizzling art crowd - from New York, Los Angeles,
Chicago and overseas - for events originally intended to coincide with Art
Basel, the international art fair postponed because of the attacks. Cultural
players hope that's a preview of a less-flash, more-substance brand of tourism
for the Beach in coming years, as events like Art Basel and March's South
Beach Wine and Food Festival - which after four years at the north campus of
Florida International University was renamed and moved to attract
out-of-towners - sink roots.
There's also a pitch to woo back the fashion and production industry, which
helped create the Beach's early edge, and then vanished. The city has lifted
some parking fees for production vehicles and is making it less harrowing to
pull permits for fashion shoots.
"Let's face it, the fashion industry is a potent image-maker for the
Beach, " said Bruce Orosz, owner of ACT Productions, one of the city's largest
1 and oldest production houses. "We had stopped being production-friendly. We
got too big. But following Sept. 11, everything is easier. Where a hotel was
charging $3,000-$4, 000 for the use of their pool for a shoot, now they're
charging $1,500-$2,000. "

PSSST! GOSSIPERS GET AN EARFUL AT BOLERO
In clubland's nutritional pyr amid, the most important daily requirements
are vodka, nicotine and gossip. Yes, gossip does a busybody good. So while
some people may groan at the thought that, say, U2's Bono was lapping it up
last weekend at the Tides Hotel with owner, hotel and music mogul Chris
Blackwell, or that the Today Show's perky Katie Couric made a surprisingly
easy transition from colon-speak (at the TotalHeath Fair, where she made an
appearance Dec. 1) to crabs at Joe's Stone Crab, the players in clubland much
prefer to consume that sort of minutiae than eat their Wheaties.
For those players, the buffet is now open at the appropriately known
Gossip, a new Thursday-night gabfest at Bolero Restaurant, 661 Washington Ave.
Hostess Lily Zanardi and DJ Smeejay are the ringmasters of this vicious
circle, but it needs the full participation of hearsay disseminators, so if
you've got any insider info on anyone who's anyone, feel free to show and
tell. (If not, that's OK, too, because eavesdroppings are also de rigueur. )
If you go, be the first to blab that another celebrity has been making the
rounds about town with the former arm candy of the witness-protected former
club king once known as Chris Paciello. Crooner Luis Miguel has been spotted
all over town with Sofia Vergara, and the toothy twosome don't appreciate
being followed around, so if you happen to see them, just ignore them. (One of
these days, celebrities will realize that without gawkers, they are nothing. )
Over at Purdy Lounge, where local barflies are treated like celebrities, a
new women-who-love-women party takes place every Sunday featuring master
martini-maker and celebrity in her own right, the mono-monikered Crispy, who
will make sure things aren't too crunchy at the door.
And despite the fact that the Sunset Harbor neighborhood of South Beach is
purdy happening, it remains so without disturbing those who pay a pretty penny
to reside in an area where, a few years ago, the most exciting development was
a Jetsonian Publix. Not the case with the folks who live near Rain and Lola.
The word on the street - the area around 23rd Street, to be specific - is that
the'neighbors of these happenin' spots are not happy about the noise and the
crowd levels that have increased twofold since Rain's reign began. The
complaints are interesting, considering that the real action is found at
Rain's next-door neighbor - a gas station/convenience store where inebriated
club kids go for refills on cigarettes and other post-clubbing incidentals.
For those who think club culture is found in a petri dish, some cultural
pursuits of a more sophisticated nature will invade South Beach's bona Aide
museums this weekend. On Friday, at the Wolfsonian-FIU, the mod-squad unveils
Aluminum by Design: Jewelry to Jets, a Wallpaper magazine reader's dream
featuring sleek stuff that Martha Stewart could probably craft out of aluminum
foil. And, in lieu of the postponed Art Basel, the Hotel Nash features Fast
Fwd: Miami, an artful excuse for yet another cocktail party in which artists
will transform hotel rooms into virtual galleries. Put on your best Andy
Warhol wig and pretend to know what you're talking about from noon-7 p.m.
Friday and Saturday, noon-6 p.m. Sunday, for just $5.
Rapper Jay-Z waxes lyrical and garmento at Level on Sunday night, with a
fashion show displaying his Roc-A-Wear line of clothing. Saturday night, he'll
be at Liquid celebrating his birthday with a splashy party and guest list of
ghetto fabulati. Wasn't the notion of rapper by day, designer by night so 20th
Century? Oh yeah, the public is "invited" to the party: $50 per regular,
nonfamous person and $100 for regular, nonfamous VIP.
A well-preserved relic dating back to the early 20th Century is Miss Kitty, •
whose new Prohibition Tea Party, held the third Wednesday,of every month at
the hush-hush hip Speakeasy Bar at Les Deux Fontaines on Ocean Drive, had
modern-day bootleggers slurring their words over two-for-one drinks served in
tea cups (a throwback to the days when, gasp, liquor was illegal! ) . The next
party is Wednesday.
Stoking the prurient interests of clubkids everywhere is crobar's monthly
Sex party. The object of desire at the December installment tonight will be
porn star Mimi Miyagi, whose ethnicity will be shamelessly exploited with a
Geisha theme. Your copy of Memoirs of a Geisha will never be the same after
this event.
Taking crobar's Sex party to a gourmet level is B.E.D., where a pre-Sex
Party "Geisha Sex Feast" (again with the geishas! ) prix fixe dinner will
serve as foreplay with oysters, a Red Bull vodka sorbet and other edibles
intended to make you horny. The $60 price also gets you VIP entry to crobar.
Cold shower not included.

MEMO: REELING THEM IN
THE OH-SO-HIP LIQUID REOPENS WITH A SPLASH
yl
1
Nightclub maven Ingrid Casares may now be a mama, and, thanks to rumored
witness protection, sideman Chris Paciello is purportedly a new man, but that
didn't stop Billy Shaw from bringing their old haunt, Liquid, back to South
Beach, and pinning his dreams on days of yore.
"The place people used to go to in the mid-90's was Liquid, " says Shaw.
"There's no excitement now in South Beach. I felt slapping the name Liquid on
the outside of the club would give the Beach what it needed. "
The new Liquid is at 1532 Washington Ave. , formerly Shadow Lounge, a hop
and skip up from the original incarnation. Shaw et al., an investor team
called Bad Boys Unlimited (not to be confused with P. Diddy's Bad Boy
Entertainment) , treated the club to a $300,000 makeover, including a Nexo
sound system, wired by locals Infinite audio; an 11-by-8-foot deejay booth;
and club fave, Elation lighting.
The requisite VIP room is lined with black leather banquets. The ultra-VIP
lounge sports a four-poster bed.
"A guy gets to have a bed full of girls sitting there, " Shaw says.
The owners of the first Liquid - Casares and Paciello - aren't involved.
But'Shaw liked Liquid's name so much he bought rights to it, plans to launch a
clothing line and envisions Liquids gracing hip spots the world over.
"It will take all of 24 hours before comparisons between the two places
don't exist, " Shaw says of the inevitable lines that'll be drawn between
Liquid I and II.
Casares says she had long been peppered with requests to sell Liquid's name
and logo.
"It was time to let it go, " she says. The name fetched "a good chunk of
cash, " she says, which was divided between her and Paciello.
Liquid, part deux, opened its doors on Halloween, and according to
publicist Diane Siquier-Heller packed "a couple of thousand" revelers in.
Shaw says he's in talks with vixen Carmen Electra to host a Liquid-based TV
show, Clubbing USA. E! entertainment, TNN and USA Networks have each expressed
interest, he says.
Shaw, surfing on entrepreneurial adrenaline and the rush of opening night,
avows that neither the economy's woes nor today's dampened zeitgeist will put
a crimp in his biz.
"If tourists come, that's great, but I feel Liquid will be what it was
before, " Shaw says. "A local club for people from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and
Palm Beach. "
Casares hopes for her successor's success, but admits slight skepticism.
"I wish hum all the luck in the world, but it's a different era, a different •
time in South Beach, " she says. "He's got his work cut gut for him a bit. "
WE HARDLY KNEW YE
Reno-based travelbyus was amid plans to relocate its exec HQ to Fort
Lauderdale when 9/11 struck, pulling tourism down the tubes.
The discount travel specialist, .which had plans to launch a travel magazine
and TV show, had to furlough 50 employees, and is fighting for its life.
"A lot of travel companies have been having not a good time since Sept.
11, " spokesman .Jeff Krieble says. "Travelbyus is like one of those
companies. "
GOOD COOKING
The creme de la creme of Miami's culinary world pool their talents this
week to raise money for families of World Trade Center food-service employees.
Chefs from 40 restaurants plan a feast at Baleen, in the Grove Isle Resort,
Thursday at 6 p.m. Tickets are $75, $100 at the door. Call 305-529-3700.

LIKE FATHER . . . .
Michael S. Goldberg, senior vice president and area executive at Colonial
Bank, was honored by his fellow Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce Board members
at a luncheon last week at the Eden Roc Resort & Spa.
Goldberg received the 2001 James McDonnell Outstanding Board of Governor
award for service and dedication to the Chamber.
A Beach native, Goldberg graduated from North Beach Elementary, Nautilus
Middle School and Miami Beach High School.
"It takes a person of special quality and commitment to live up to the
standards set by Jim McDonnell, " said Michael Milberg, the Chamber chairman.
"Michael Goldberg is such a person. "
It seems to run in the family. Goldberg's father, Barton S. Goldberg, was
the first recipient of the James McDonnell Outstanding Board of Governor award
in 1994. Michael had the honor of presenting that award to his dad. Barton
happily reciprocated last week.
Said Michael: "It was rewarding because he's my mentor and has given me
the guidance to get where I am today. "
