Co-Op Miami: a downtown urban mix served up right

  • Review
  • Friday, July 04, 2008

In case you still thought all the cool attractions and innovative happenings had to be only by the beach, think yet again.  The latest location to prove this wrong is Co-op Miami – an industrial space showcasing work by local artists and designers.  The address is mid-town Miami--making it another point of leisure and cultural interest for your downtown agenda or getaway from the high-rise world of office towers and business hotels . 

How the art gets into this space: the result of works which have been submitted to a committee, which then selects items for the shop’s gallery.  When you’re ready for refreshment, Co-op Miami is also home to the Art of Food Bar, a café with an equally creative menu of vegan treats such as glutein-free chocolate chip cookies and faux-egg sandwiches.  And there’s more on the menu elsewhere in forms of creative expression: live jazz and poetry club readings take place on the second Saturday of the month.
