Miami curfew starts Friday night

| SFBW Staff

The city of Miami will temporarily shed its late-night party reputation with a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew that starts Friday night.

There is an exception for health care workers, food delivery personnel, physicians, going to and from an essential services job and walking your dog within 250 feet of your residence. Otherwise, police can actually stop, question and arrest people under the order signed by City Manager Art Noriega on Thursday.

Here is a copy of the order news release:

The City of Miami will enforce a nightly curfew beginning tomorrow, Friday, March 27th, in an effort to slow the person-to-person spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The curfew runs from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. nightly until further notice and will be strictly enforced by the City of Miami Police Department.

“When it comes to protecting the health and welfare of our residents, we will always err on the side of caution,” said Miami City Manager Arthur Noriega V. “Residents must heed this curfew and our police department will be enforcing the rule nightly.”

The Miami City Commission unanimously approved the new measure at a virtual City Commission meeting held entirely online on Wednesday night. There are some specific exceptions to the curfew order for residents to be aware of:

  • Resident travel to and from approved, essential workplaces
  • Medical emergencies
  • Dog walking: residents must stay within 250 feet of their home or building at all times
  • Food delivery services

Additionally, the following are permitted:

  • Provision of essential state, county and City of Miami emergency services and hospital services
  • Utility emergency repairs

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.
