le. [cheering] [music playing] narrator: when thinking of miami, there are some cliches that come to mind-- spring break, art deco, and parties till the break of dawn. but for the many that have made everlasting roots in the magic city, they simply call it home. johnny devenanzio: so alexia, how long have you been a resident of miami?

i was born and raised in miami. really? yes. i'm more familiar with miami for vacations, for spring break, but there's more to miami than just the nightlife. alexia echevarria: absolutely. [theme music] gonna give our [singing in spanish] have fun! you too, baby. thank you. you have fun. narrator: and no one knows that better than entrepreneur, influencer, and bravo's real housewife of miami, alexia echevarria. alexia echevarria: such a multicultural city, miami. everyone speaks spanish, and if they don't, they at least understand it or they're, like, open to it, which is kind of cool. we're so lively and we have, like, sabor, like we say. johnny devenanzio: what is it? sabor? yeah, like taste. you know, it's like-- oh, is that taste? sabor? yeah, yeah. all the ladies are half naked. the guys d don't have e shirts. johnny devenanzio: i'm not complaining.

what makes you a housewife of miami? alexia echevarria: well, many things. being married, being a mom, being a businesswoman, having the certain type of lifestyle that i have. i'm just really just being me. i'm very authentic, i'm very raw, and five seasons later, i'm still here. and the rest is history. alexia echevarria: we're here in calle ocho. this is one of my favorite areas because it's so typical miami, it's so typical cuban. like, look at the domino park. everybody's having fun playing dominoes. johnny devenanzio: the cuban culture not only planted roots here, but they've changed the entire dynamic of miami. would you attribute that to the hardworking mentality? alexia echevarria: definitely. i think cuban generations, especially the one of my parents. they came to this country from nothing, so i think it's, like, in our genes. it's like it's in our blood, you know? so rumor has it you also have a nail salon here in town, alexia and frankie's. alexia echevarria: ooh. johnny devenanzio: check-- out these little piggies.

i love a guy that loves a pedicure. johnny devenanzio: miami, come for the party, stay for the pedi. love it. harry coleman: and when you're from miami, we say we're from miami. we're not from florida. it's two different things, right? we're in miami, right? narrator: yes, representation in the 305 is important, which is why empanada harry's is the one stop shop for all the latin flavors wrapped in a dough. harry coleman: empanadas are a south american staple, right? everyone says their empanada is the best one, right? the peruvians think that theirs is better, the venezuelans, the chileans, right? we're the only place that has them all in one spot. michelle coleman: you can have a couple come in and one can be from argentina and the other one can be from peru, and they can not only interconnect their cultures, but they can have what makes them feel at home. and that's another thing, we try to keep as authentic as possible. harry coleman: we're gonna just start small and easy. johnny devenanzio: and we just go with our hands, right? michelle coleman: yes. harry coleman: yeah, go for it. that's the ham and cheese. wow. harry coleman: the venezuelan's are a little larger.

the peru's are a little bigger. the chileans have this traditional shape. that one's its own monster. it's like a playstation controller. you know, it does look like a playstation controller. the quality, the authenticity, the uniqueness of these empanadas. you have a bright future, my friend. what is the next iteration of this incredible business here? well, we actually just opened a smokehouse. we are defining miami style barbecue. michelle coleman: yeah. we're taking that same kind of ideologies that we had with the bakery and we're trying to do the same thing with this amazing american barbecue and then kind of putting our miami stamp on it. johnny devenanzio: all right. well, listen. i hear it's tradition to have a little-- what do you call it? a cafecito? - cafecito. all right. michelle coleman: yes. harry coleman: miami at 3:05, our area code, cafecito time. so party miami style, huh? yeah. johnny devenanzio: would you say that mango's is one of the staples of miami nightlife? if you go to miami, you got to go to mango's. johnny devenanzio: i couldn't agree more.

how long have you been a resident here in miami? actually, when we moved down from new york it was in 1955, and my father bought a building over on collins avenue, one block over here, where we lived, and he bought this ding as well. johnny devenanzio: it's safe to say you've been here for a little bit. - i've been here for a while. the story of mango's is a very interesting one, johnny, and i used to swim a mile a day. and in the middle of one of those swims i was headed south, and i'm swimming along mango's tropical cafe. thank you, god. that's where you got your inspiration for mango's was out there in the ocean? that is how mango's tropical cafe began. johnny devenanzio: what would you say is unique about the nightlife in miami? south beach is cool, and what evolved was this nightlife revolution, evolution, renaissance. they innovated restaurant nightclub. so dinner was happening and that was cool,

and then at 11 o'clock the lights went down and the music went up and girls would dance right on the table. it would get so busy on ocean drive, the line of traffic went almost all the way to the airport to get to south beach, and the club scene went international. johnny devenanzio: why is it so important to you to maintain such an active role? david wallack: i'm an artist. above all else, to me, everything is art. an artist creates, and i can't imagine stopping the creativity. johnny devenanzio: if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. exactly. baback in the e day, snsneaker dropops meant gettining online t to waitit in line.. now wiwith xfinityty mobile.. ...we get t the fastesest mobilele service and cacan get the e freshest kicks asasap. i got ththis. get ththe best pririce for 2 s of unlimitited when yoyou switch t to xfinity y mobiler $30 0 a line perer month.

and exotic fish migrating along the gulf coast, including-- sharks?? josh eccccles: it'ss not "jaws," yoyou know? they're not out there just eating anything and after you. they want nothing to do with us. randelel sands: wewe're hohoping that t today is gononna change e all yourur opinions s and ideass of these amazing animals. captain randel, you are a marine conservationist. one of your passions is making underwater videos. what do you hope to accomplilis? randel sands: whwhen i make ea video o and i showow people a ak oror a turtle e or a whwhale, i wanant people to go, wow, that is amazing. what a beaeautiful crereatur. we need d to take cacare of these thingngs. so i'm t trying to show peoplple that dodon't dive, , people that don't't snorkel,, why these animals are so amazing. narrator: and in order to do so you have to see it to believe. luckily, our hosts for the day, underwater photographer randel sands and josh eccles of admiral charters, specialize in locating sharks along the sea,

providing close encounter scuba diving experiences. johnny devenanzio: the sharks that we're gonna swim with here, is this the place they call home? are they migratory species? josh eccles: so all of our sharks here are on a migrational pattern, so what they do is they jump in that gulf stream. that might wrap around different countries and they'll migrate to different places, whether they find their loved ones in different areas or they find a certain food, so they're migrating through. hop on the old gulf stream. josh eccles: yeah, right? johnny devenanzio: what kind of wildlife do you think we're gonna see down there? josh eccles: right now we're in a season of lemon sharks, some bull sharks, nurse sharks, and if we're really lucky, maybe a tiger shark. johnny devenanzio: wow. josh eccles: yeah. randel sands: when we see a healthy shark we know that there's a healthy reef, so it's all a circle. it's about taking care of these sharks. if we don't have our sharks, we don't have humans. we don't have a planet anymore. johnny devenanzio: what impacts do humans have on the underwater ecosystem? randel sands: what i see is a lot of commercial fishing gear on the ocean that's really harmful. these animals eaeat monofilalat anand they eatat plastics s anh arare on our f food chain,, so as s humans, wewe're

actually taking in these plastics and toxins and it's not normal. josh eccles: once you experience it one time, you'll be able to save the ocean just to see people's eyes light up. you know, they come up going, oh my god. that's what really gets me going. narrator: the first stop in our expedition is a shipwreck 120 feet underwater. nicknamed the treasure coast, the jupiter inlet shipwrecks preserved time capsules of history, ships that date as far back as the 1600s and have become a part of this area's ecosystem. next, we venture further out into sea for the main event--

close encounters of the shark kind. johnny devenanzio: so this is shark bait. usually people get in the water and they try and avoid sharks. we're doing the exact opposite. narrator: scuba divers will always remember their first encounter with a shark, and here in the warm, swift atlantic ocean currents of the gulf stream, intimate moments with these h highly misunderststood creatutures will n never be foforgotten. jojohnny devenenanzio: you could d just tell thahat they arere such doc, susuch, like, , just majeses, affectctionate crereatures. man, i felelt like i w was surrrrounded by y puppies. josh eccles:s: that's awaweso. jojohnny devenenanzio: yeae. joshsh eccles: t they're actcty bumping ininto you andnd-- johnny d devenanzio:o: yeah, y. jojosh eccles:s: it's just an expeperience. jojohnny devenenanzio: it't'st just a jobob for you, , righ? randel sanands: no. no, not atat all. johnny d devenanzio:o: it's m more than t that. randel sands: i wawanna lelet them expxperience. a lolot of timeses i'll wowork with trtrying toto get the f fishing hooks out t of them, soso you'll sesee me with h pl. i just donon't want the shararks damageded. i i wanna try y to help them as s much as i i can. johnhnny devenanzio: i'm leleaving herere with a whwhole newfouound appreciati-

narrator: when you think of miami, hockey is the last thing you think of. but tell that to the die hard fans of the florida panthers who treat this sport like everything else in south florida-- with attitude. and it just so happens that we're in america's hottest city on stanley c panther's 28th birthday, the beloved mascot of the florida panthers. and while we had a surprise for stanley's party, we needed to enlist the help of a former panthers enforcer, pierre worrell.

johnny devenanzio: you're not from here originally though, are you, peter? - i am not. growing up in montreal, i mean, i think the only thing about ice in south florida would have been in my drink, right? but it's a newer sport here. you know, the team moved here in '93. since then they've been building rinks, they've been building a community. it's starting to turn into a hockey town. even though there is amazing weather here in south florida, you wouldn't necessarily say that miami fans are fairweather fans? i would not say that. our true blood fans are deep down fans that are some of the best in the league. so over the board and then we just-- what? just jump down? just kind of like jumping in the pool. - oh. - there you go. except jumping on, like, a frozen pool. a frozen pool, absolutely. oh, this way better way. that's way easier, right? who said ice skating was hard? you were known as the enforcer on your squad. peter worrell: correct. i was a top goal scorer. i liked to score. i scored a lot of goals. but you get to a certain level where everybody's gotten a little bit better and you have to find different ways to continue to go for it. and you still got all your teeth. that's how tough i was.

i take my stride, i turn my hips, and i dig into the ice. woo! you're learning really quickly. that's really stopping. hockey isn't exactly known as the most diverse sport. did you ever face any, i guess, adversity? yeah. i've played in rinks where the whole fan base was picking me out not because i was a bad guy, but because i was the black kid out there, you know? yeah. and i wanted to prove those people wrong. it's hockey. it's a sport. it's for everybody, and there shouldn't be any barriers and don't let some clown keep you out of it. as you come forward with your hands, you put your-- you transfer your weight to your front foot. hockey players are underrated for what kind of athletes we are. we do everything that a football player does, we do everything a basketball player does, except we do it on one inch blades. that actually was a really good shot, though, brother. that was a real good shot. johnny devenanzio: how important is the mascot position? why do you ask? well, it just so happens there's this guy by the name of stanley c panther-- you may be familiar with him. - he's a cool cat.

he's having a birthday party tomorrow. they're going to be shooting on goal. i wanna see if i can get out there and block some of those shots. thankfully you're a super athlete. this is true. i will do my best. thanks, man. so basically everything that we're doing right now is to protect me? correct. protect you from me. well, we're gonna need a lot more padding than that. peter worrell: your goal, really, as a goaltender, is to get hit. [screaming] what the hell was that? peter worrell: two things. don't turn your head and don't close your eyes. ok. i think i did both of those things. yeah, i think you did too. [screaming] johnny devenanzio: all right, well, coach, what do you think? i mean, you made a save on me, so i think you might be ready for those mascots. i think i might need to save my finger after this.

announcer: as you know, it is stanley c panther's birthday, and to celebrate he's going into a shoot out. fans, we have host of nbc's "1st look," johnny bananas is between the pipes. let's see what you got, stan. [ding] [ding] [ding] another one for victor. [ding] [ding] [cheering] and make some noise for stanley, victor, and johnny bananas. johnny devenanzio: i've been humiliated. i've been embarrassed. i pride myself on being someone who's good at just about everything and when they said, listen, we're gonna pad you up and we're gonna let guys dressed in chuck e cheese costumes shoot pucks on you, i'm like, these guys are toast. and yeah, that was-- it was a difficult day at the office, to say the least. it's time to hit the showers.

[vocalizing] readady to treatat your v in a dififferent wayay? narrator: a mural, a photograph, a sculpture, a dance. one way to get to know a city is through its art-- all reflections of where society has been and where it's going. it adds meaning to cities and uniqueness to the communities that inhabit it, and the miami design district is one of those places. alex gartenfeld: you could say that the whole neighborhood is

art. essential to the dna of miami design district is not only fashion, but bringing art and culture to the center of this city. johnny devenanzio: the art pieces here aren't just of the do not disturb variety. alex gartenfeld: in the design district, everything is a work of art, whether it's a playset or a parasol. johnny devenanzio: whoa, what is this thing? alex gartenfeld: it's called the "fly's eye dome." it's an architectural prototype by buckminster fuller, who was an experimental architect, as you can see. we can walk inside that thing? oh, yeah. no way. alex gartenfeld: those that are in charge of the design district have made sure that you have an artistic experience across the board. now i've showed you a lot of art around the district. let me walk you over to ica miami. well, let's go. no time like the present. narrator: first opened in 1996, the institute of contemporary art miami is now a staple of the miami art district.

with its unique architecture and sleek interior, it houses some of the most diverse and innovative art of our time. this museum is about the dialogue between what's happening in miami and the world abroad. in fact, miami is so global that our artists are showing all over the world themselves. what makes miami such an ideal place for an art scene? alex gartenfeld: we seek to lead the conversation in supporting miami artists, so my hope is that ica miami can be a place where we meet artists in miami early in their career and help them develop. narrator: and visual artist michelle lisa polissaint is one of those local artists supported by the museum. michelle lisa polissaint: i grew up in south florida, but i started traveling back and forth to haiti with my parents, and slowly i started to kind of realize how different i was from my family in haiti. this work particularly is just me kind of reimagining certain instances that i remember from being young. how would you say miami has influenced or shaped your art?

michelle lisa polissaint: i think the cultures that exist here. you have a lot of caribbean, indigenous, and diaspora communities that are in the city, so the only way our communities can survive is if we communicate with each other and we engage with others. narrator: and another form of communication and art is dance. sandra portal-andreu: my father's cuban, my mother's colombian. growing up in miami and just kind of bringing all that together and saying, ok, this is what i wanna express. in miami i really had an amazing opportunity to explore site specificity for different spaces, whether it be the hialeah racetrack or the main library in downtown miami. sort of taking dance outside from, like, the proscenium stage and into communal space so that it's not just movement for movement's sake, but it's movement for a purpose. can you give me some pointers? maybe show me your art and how it works? sure, sure. johnny devenanzio: ok. sandra portal-andreu: when i see a sculpture like this, i am trying to sort of form my body in ways that i can

sort of be one with it, right? johnny devenanzio: ok. sandra portal-andreu: so i'm trying to make a wheel. i'm trying to-- johnny devenanzio: oh, so we wanna-- so we wanna symbolize, like-- well, ok, i'm gonna be the door. sandra portal-andreu: there you go. you're playing with the architecture. you're kind of exploring what dynamics you have there, what you can play with. johnny devenanzio: now i'm gonna be the shovel. sandra portal-andreu: there you go. johnny devenanzio: que lindo. you make a fantastic modern experimental dance partner. sandra portal-andreu: thank you. narrator: while miami is the epicenter of the art movement in many different mediums, it was only natural that they get into the digital realm, becoming the first museum globally to collect nfts or nonfungible tokens. oh, who is she? she's beautiful. that is a crypto 523 subtitled "priscilla." it looks like it was made in, let's say, 1991 just from a visual perspective. but on the back end behind this image there's incredibly sophisticated technology that you can't see,

but they're on the blockchain, that govern how the work is collected, stored, and transferred. what i think we're seeing is a developing conversation about how art should look, and really, what its material presence is. johnny devenanzio: so would you say then that the inspiration of miami art travels far beyond the borders of miami and almost transcends this area? alex gartenfeld: i'd say miami has captured the popular imagination. i think people all over the world are looking at miami as a city of the future. narrator: whether enjoying the florida sun or ice, diving deep, or making waves, miami is a magical metropolis living life to its fullest and making its mark on the future. so take notice and come see for yourself.
