Every call we've made, in one place.

A long weekend works, but make it three nights. Two nights buys one real day in the canyon, which is a shame rather than a trip.

The 30-day booking windows for art week opened in the first week of November and are gone. What is left is bars, counters and lunch.

Skip the VIP previews unless you are buying, and skip any fair you walked last December. The week improves the moment you stop completing it.

The best art you can walk into in Miami, bought early and hung in a warehouse block that can actually hold it. Give it three hours.

Design Miami, SCOPE and Aqua are the satellites worth protecting on your calendar. NADA and Untitled reward a midweek hour; the rest depend on which neighbourhood you are already in.

PAMM for an afternoon by the water, the Bass for an hour off the Beach, the ICA only if you're already in the Design District. Monday, PAMM is the only one open.

Worth the dirt road. Ten acres of assemblage art standing in the open desert, free, every day — go in the morning, and skip it if it has rained.

The Rubell first, the Margulies second. Both are warehouse-scale and both deserve a half-day; the smaller collections are worth an hour if you are already nearby.

Three clusters are genuinely walkable and the rest is a shuttle or a car. The Beach spine, Wynwood and the Biscayne corridor; everything else costs you a causeway.

Worth it if you read building credits and book the moment tickets open. Skip it if you simply want to see the architecture, which is free all year.

Worth it, if you book ahead and treat it as a short guided walk in extraordinary light rather than a photography trip.

Worth it — but go for the art and the estates, and treat the Christmas nostalgia as the bonus rather than the reason.

Two days, one major art institution, one town. The mistake everyone makes is treating the Hudson Valley as one destination and spending the weekend in the car.
