Venturing to Aventura

Aventura may be the only city in America actually named
after the mall that was already in the city at the time of
incorporation. It isn’t a bad place and, as you might
imagine, the mall dominates the list of Aventura-related
attractions. Predictably, this is going to be the attraction
that I focus on.
Dominating the Aventura landscape, the Aventura Mall has
over 250 stores to choose from, plus 18 food court
destinations and full-fledged restaurants. It includes,
naturally, a movie theater (in the form of a 24 screen
megaplex) as well as a giant indoor playground for the young
(or young at heart, as long as they don’t mind being
escorted off the premises by security when the children
complain). In the confines of this sprawling, gargantuan
monument to consumerism, you will find (amid mall standards
like Macy’s, Sears, J.C. Penny’s, and Bloomingdale’s) shops
devoted to past-times you would never expect (e.g., “The Art
of Shaving.”) Overall, the mall is quite upscale, and is the
shopping destination of choice for much of Miami’s elite,
including me. Designer clothing stores abound, even many
that are unknown outside the somewhat insular “stylista”
world. In spite of the mall being on the cutting edge of
fashion, you can still find a Gymboree if you need one. Ah,
the best of every world.
A trip to the Aventura Mall, in combination with a limousine
from Millenium Limo, would be a perfect destination for a
birthday party for a child (and while I am thinking, in
particular, of a female child aged 12-17, the child could
theoretically be of any age or gender). They could explore
the mall, shop with their friends, take in a movie, and then
everyone could meet for a birthday dinner at one of the many
fine restaurants in the mall (The Cheesecake Factory,
perhaps). Then, the limo from Millenium could whisk them all
back home……to theirs, not yours. Voila! It's the perfect
birthday party – not a lot of planning required, but still
memorable and enjoyable for all.
The next time you’re in Aventura, check out the mall – and
keep a Millenium Limo in mind.
