CORAL GABLES, Florida (February 8, 2023) – Have you ever doodled a new doorway for your home? Stalked a splendid mansion on Zillow? Turned green with envy after being impressed with a new kitchen or courtyard at a friend’s house? Is your side hustle chasing the next big foodie thing?

Eager “Tourists” will be inspired as they visit Coral Gables’ most exquisite private residence kitchens, indulge in gourmet samplings and desserts from the city’s best restaurants and shop home goods from local merchants.
