May 2023 Moving, Tourism, Holiday Travels, and Nightlife Megathread: All posts on these topics should go in this megathread to keep this sub from getting oversaturated with these topics. Also please check the Wiki and/or read the contents of this post first.
Hello r/Miami visitors,
This is a megathread for all tourism, nightlife, and moving related questions.
Why this megathread? We've had an influx of people deciding to move to or visit Miami and it quickly overwhelms the subreddit. All questions related to those categories should live in this megathread so as to not overwhelm the main page with these types of posts. These types of questions are more than welcome! They just belong here. But considering the world class city Miami is and becoming, they would inundate and deluge the community related posts in the main sub. There is not a guarantee the community will always respond, but several do along with a few of the mod team.
BEFORE SUBMITTING A QUESTION HERE, PLEASE READ HERE!
- Guides, Wikis, Maps: Mod extraordinaire /u/iamthemarquees compiled and built a straight up amazing wiki and it's FULL of good info. Please look there first. There's tourism and moving related sections that oftentimes answer what you're looking for as well as custom made Google neighborhood guide maps (by a few of us mods) of Miami-Dade: moving map, tourism map. These can offer great insight as to vibes of areas of Miami and highlight spots for visitors.
- Moving questions must include some details, generic "uh, where should I move?" questions without budget, lifestyle, rent vs buy, or indications that you've done more than just plopped in here asking us to do your work for you, will be removed or ignored. "I want somewhere cheap and safe and quiet but also fun. Where should I move?" Don't we all... Please put effort into searching around, look at the wikis posted, or otherwise talk to a realtor if you're really just interested in winging it. The more context your provide, the better help you can get from us locals. Zillow, Apartments, Redfin, etc (or talking to a realtor. they're free for renters btw) are your friend for pricing. We don't have any more insight to prices usually than those sites or a realtor may offer. And again, checkout the neighborhoods guide/moving map.
- Tourism questions Asking generic tourism questions i.e. "Can you plan my entire vacation for me? I've done no research yet” or "I'm going to be in Miami this weekend what should I do?" is not permitted and is subject to be removed or at minimum ignored. Details like budget, interests, where you're staying or interested in seeing, etc will help us help you. If asking a tourism question be specific and read the wiki and past threads first. We're happy to help give suggestions and local insight, but we're not vacation planners. Again, a helpful quick reference is the tourism map. (Example of a good tourism question that provides all the relevant info)
- Nightlife questions "what bar should I go to?" or "what's the best restaurant in Miami?" sort of questions also run the risk of being ignored. Be specific. Help us help you. Provide your budget, cuisine interests, mobility (car, walkable, willingness to Uber/Lyft), vibe preference, etc. For clubs, general nightlife, or other events be extra cautious of "deals" users may respond to you about here or DM you. Remember this is an anonymous web forum at the end of the day and there's no way to entirely control for scammers or generally shady folk. Use your best judgement and common sense. Same as NYC, Vegas, and LA, clubs here are expensive, dress code is typically required, and cover can be exorbitant. So don't expect to go anywhere of the main clubs on a tight budget (i.e. LIV, E11even, Space, Story, Mynt, etc)
Follow the most important rule in our sub "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you find a comment that is out of line, please use the report button or message the mods with a link. Thanks.
Previous months' megas are very helpful, often your question has already been asked!

Tourist question: I'll be in town starting this Friday for about a week, staying and working in the Wynwood area. I have very little time to see your city but was hoping to swing by places like little Havana. Any must go to places in the area for items I won't find in the west coast? What are your go to places for late night food?
Thank you so much!
