Museum Of Ice Cream – Miami
Welcome to the Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC) – This is a place which adult minds have been trained to reject – vivid colours, randomly dispersed giant plastic ice cream-themed art installations, overly enthusiastic staff (aptly called the “Pink army”) and frankly, no immediately apparent “raison d’être”.

It has topped the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list four times, and is one of the birth places of the “new Nordic” cuisine — namely — pickling, smoking and fermenting of indigenous ingredients. This was definitely a memorable experience from…
