The Nearby Getaway
Since opening in October, the Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach has distinguished itself as a sophisticated addition to the resort scene along State Road A1A. Each of the 290 suites features a balcony or terrace (some as large as 1,000 square feet) overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal Waterway. There’s an abundance of high-end detail, including Italian marble in the bathrooms, chic American walnut cabinetry, and kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Bring friends and hang out on the 10,000-square-foot sixth-floor sky deck, or dine at Terra Mare, where executive chef Johan Svensson’s menu encourages communal dining.
Sail the World
Miami was the starting point for Viking Cruises’ inaugural world cruise. The line’s newest ship, the Viking Sun, embarked on a 141-day itinerary that spans five continents, 35 countries and 64 ports and concludes May 5 in London. Viking gained popularity for its river cruises but began ocean routes in 2015. Viking’s ocean ships have a gross tonnage of 47,800 tons, with 465 staterooms for 930 guests. Another world cruise starting in Miami is planned in 2019; prices start at $49,995. For information, visit vikingcruises.com.
High Roller
Getting a little tense at the office? Don’t ask a coworker for a massage these days. Instead, turn to The Stinger Cold Roller Massage Ball. It targets muscle soreness and knots from the feet up to the legs, arms, back and shoulders. It’s priced at $38. Find it at thegrommet.com.

Magic Leap of Plantation has unveiled the Creator Edition of its augmented virtual reality system.
The system generates digital light to produce lifelike objects that blend with the physical world. To make that happen, the Lightwear headset has multiple cameras and sensors that can get voice, gesture, head-pose or eye-tracking input. The headset is tethered to a controller that has motion sensing, haptics and a touchpad. Initially, the product will be offered to content creators, such as video game developers, but is expected to hit the market later this year. And it won’t be just fun and games—in the business world, users can open multiple screens, whether big or small, for stock trading or virtual shopping. To learn more, visit magicleap.com.

Drew Limsky

Editor-in-Chief

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.
