Broward, Miami-Dade reopening expected May 18

| SFBW Staff

Broward County is expected to start reopening May 18, along with Miami-Dade County, according to multiple news reports.

Broward Mayor Dale Holness had a conference call on Monday with city mayors and there seemed to be consensus that May 18 would be targeted.

“The sentiment is that, whether or not Miami goes on the 18th, we will go on the 18th,” Holness said, according to NBC 6.

Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez said last week he would allow some businesses to reopen May 18, but didn’t provide specifics beyond suggesting restaurants would be included.

In Broward, social distancing would be required and other rules were being ironed out. Beauty salons, hair salons, nail salons, restaurants, would be allowed to reopen.

There was discussion that restaurants might need more than 25 percent capacity to be financially viable. Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis told ABC Channel 10 that 25 to 50 percent had been discussed.

Palm Beach County had a reopening on Monday. The Palm Beach Post said there are plans to provide more outdoor space for restaurants at several locations, including the Clematis Street area.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
