A Hotspot in Miami's Emerging Arts Distrct, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar

The 200-seat indoor outdoor restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, has cooked up a unique recipe. On the menu: inviting, straight forward food that incorporates delicious farm-to-table classics and tempting international specialties in a variety of sizes and prices. The vision: a neighborhood restaurant with original murals by acclaimed graffiti artists Shepard Fairey and Christian Awe and an 11 foot sculptural man by artist David Benjamin Sherry, that offers great cuisine for all tastes set in a one-of-a-kind art park called Wynwood Walls that reflects this provocative emerging arts district. This is the 2^nd phase of Goldman Properties' vision for Wynwood, which began its transformation when Joey's, a critically acclaimed authentic Italian cafe, opened next door in December 2008.

Highlighting Chef Ferraro's take on contemporary American cuisine with an innovative spin, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar options range from tasty small plates, sausages, skewers, salads, juicy burgers and sandwiches ($7 - $14) to soul satisfying entrees, including innovative stews served in clay pots ($14 - $29) and tempting desserts such as the award-winning banana pudding with crushed vanilla wafers and merengue.

The restaurant's bar, surrounded by a visually stunning and powerful original floor to ceiling mural by Shepard Fairey, of Obama poster fame, serves as a focal point for diners, offering guests a relaxed artful space where they can cool off with great classic and creative cocktails, amazing wines and handcrafted beers. Adding to the playfulness of the liquid offerings; a list of 12 original mixed drinks inspired by and named after artists that collaborated on the Wynwood Walls and Wynwood Kitchen.

Swathed in a colorful graffiti mural by acclaimed Brazilian twin artists, Os Gemeos, Dear Raindrop and Kenny Scharf, on the exterior walls, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar offers a hip, yet comfortable setting, where guests can enjoy great food and drinks, while they loose themselves in the best of contemporary art. A laid back, expansive warehouse environment, with high ceilings, and decor orchestrated by the Goldmans and Miami-based James Samson Interiors, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar encompasses 5,000 sq. ft. Adjacent to the restaurant's bar, the al fresco dining area is part of Goldman Properties' acclaimed art park, "Wynwood Walls," which features dozens of murals created December 2009 - December 2010, by some of the most innovative street artists in the world.

Open for lunch and dinner, Monday - Saturday, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar is located at 2550 N.W. 2^nd Avenue in Miami's Wynwood arts district. Ample street parking and valet available. Phone: 305-722-8959. www.wynwoodkitchenandbar.com.
