the latest | No Reservations, 20 Years later
Anthony Bourdain first came to Miami in 2006 for Season 1 of No Reservations. Some of the places he visited are still here, but many aren’t. How has the city changed since then, and where is it headed?

NOTES
22 SEPTEMBER, 2026 · NORMANDY ISLE
Normandy Isle multi-family/commercial is relatively underrated from an architectural standpoint. Lots of offset vaulted roofs, courtyard planning, strong horizontal lines, large windows, and explorative color palettes. Perfect for fans of mid-century modern architecture.
ABOUT JAMES
I’m James, a real estate advisor based in Miami Beach.
My work brings me into all kinds of spaces, and has made me particularly curious about the built environment. How was it made, how does it evolve, and what makes it worth caring about?
This site is an extension of that curiosity, viewed mostly through the lens of real estate, architecture, and design.
