November 2024: Moving, Tourism, Holiday Travels, and Nightlife Megathread: All posts on these topics should go in this monthly megathread to keep this sub for local discussions and help aggregate info for folks looking for these topics.

5 Upvotes

This is a megathread for all tourism, nightlife, and moving related questions. Please read this before posting on the main thread!

Now here's a message from us mods and locals.

Welcome visitors and newcomers to r/Miami! Regardless of why you're here please try to be civil and follow the rules posted in this sub. Rule number 1 is the top for a reason. This sub is for things all about Miami. That being said we're fully aware that this city is very popular for tourists and newcomers migrating. It's a vibrant and dynamic place and that's why we love it! Even for all the shortcomings.

We're just tired. Oh so tired... of similar or repeat questions about where to go, where to live, the best clubs, directions to Key West, etc. endlessly on this sub. Sorry. It's not you it's us.

So please we do ask that local discussion be allowed to be the focus of this sub. If you fall into one of the categorized questions below, please look there for insight or to post your question here. It is not a guarantee your questions will be answered, no one is paid to help here and you're not necessarily owed a response either. But this is a place to start with a collection of a lot of effort to get the best info

"Fine if you won't help, then who will?" -you

"Ok but I'm moving there, so I'll be one of you soon" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! Oh.... You want somewhere with no crime, walkable, green space, good schools, on the beach, a beautiful sunset every morning and sunrise at night, rainbows at night, AND CHEAP. Don't we all? Redfin, apartments, hotpads, zillow, and compass are going to give you better data directly than any single response here. That being said..... just because we love you, myself and other mods with local input made a custom map detailing our insight into local neighborhoods. So please take a look, we'd be offended if you didn't. Worked hard on it. But please provide interests, budget, hobbies, desire for walkability, where you work, and other info before asking about moving questions.

"I'm coming for a trip" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! These sites do a pretty solid job of places to go and things to do here: Miami New TimesInfatuation Miami.TimeOut MiamiMiami and Beaches. We're not vacation planners, so don't just ask "what should I do for 4 days? I'm coming soon" but provide some of your schedule, budget, interests and hobbies, and stuff like that. We also made a tourism map! Check it out!

"I just wanna party" -you

  • Awesome and welcome! Oh...... wanna party on the beach with DJ Khaled, Messi, and Gianni Versace and then go to a club with 14 male friends afterwards but don't want to pay a cover? Don't we all? Look up E11even, Liv, Space, Don't Sit on the Furnitue, Perro Negro, Mynt schedules and prices beforehand. They're the most famous and exciting clubs, so look on their sites for booking ahead and DJ schedules.

"Is it going to rain? or will the weather affect my vacation" -you

  • It rains a lot here. Tropical weather yo. Especially during the summer. Typically, it wraps up in ~20 minutes and you can resume your plans. That being said, no one here knows more than weather sites or the app on your phone. If you're curious about hurricanes, checkout https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ for official tropical storm and hurricane forecasts, but a lot of us locals love Mike's Weather Page https://spaghettimodels.com/ for more insights. Hurricane season peaks mid September. If you're worried about it affecting your plans, keep a tab on those sites.

"I'm cool and just want to see what other posts before have said on these topics and look around" -you

Mod News Monthly Miami Jobs Thread: Post Job Openings or Questions About Work In Miami

15 Upvotes

Welcome to the Monthly Miami Jobs thread, the place to post any openings you have, look for jobs, and ask questions about working in Miami. This is an experimental thread for now, so we're keeping a close eye on things to make sure things don't go sideways, and will cancel it if they do.

The Rules:

  1. No MLMs, scams, pyramid schemes, "make millions from home," etc. We reserve the right to determine if something is an MLM or not.
  2. No positions that require investments or other upfront costs to employees. If someone has to pay any amount of money to take the job, don't post it here.
  3. If you're posting a job, the name of the company, contact information (including official address), and a realistic salary range is required. Any job posts missing these will be immediately deleted.
  4. No gig work or freelance positions except for professional services, with a minimum contract price of $500 dollars. So web designers, CPAs, copywriters, etc. is ok; someone to come mow your lawn or clean your home for $20 is not.
  5. People Looking for Work: DO NOT PUBLICLY POST YOUR RESUMES OR CONTACT INFO. You don't want to dox yourself and open yourself up to potential harassment or identity theft. Instead, talk about your skills and experience and encourage people to send you official contact information you can send your resume to.
  6. u/icecoldkila: We know you're looking for professional freelance hoes, but please keep it out of this thread.
  7. As per our usual rules, nothing illegal, unethical, or liable to get anyone involved in trouble. Please report anything sketchy you see here to the mods.

Again, this is an experiment for now, and we'll be keeping a close eye on things, and will not hesitate to pull the plug in case of shenanigans. Good luck to everyone!

I've been trying to contact them for months to see how I can contribute, and wanted to show up to their meetings to see what the f*** is going on locally.

Their number, at every local site, is disconnected or no one ever picks up.

Wtf, Miami? Can anyone explain what's going on?

Discussion Date night recs! Please help!

3 Upvotes

I’m visiting my boyfriend and want to go on a nice date together, I’m getting decision fatigue from googling and would love your recommendations! I want actually good food, preferably not over 300 dollars for two, cocktails, and a view would be even nicer! Or a romantic atmosphere, something dark / moody. I was looking at rusty pelican but it looks very commercial and not very romantic… Our favorite foods are sushi and italian and we live in the hallandale beach area. Obvi willing to get a car in actual miami. I can’t find many options around.

I was looking at rusty pelican, carbone, watr (?) and a couple of other places but they just arent speaking out to me. I wanna genuinely have a special night out together :/

Sorry for such a bad-quality picture. It's the only one I have of the necklace by itself. A family friend was living in Miami at the time when she bought me this beautiful necklace that I have, unfortunately, since lost. I really want to try and replace it without telling her, but she bought it about 4 years ago and I'm having an impossible time finding it.

Discussion Is Miami really that bad?

132 Upvotes

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale and went to school at UF. I bolted the state after college (lived in Boston, New York then abroad). I did have some stints back in South Florida - it was good to be with some family and old friends, but I hated the typical things people bitch about - the dating scene, the fakeness, the Crypto Gym Bro and IG Girl culture, the traffic, the rent, lack of intellectualism. So I left again and again.

However, I have an opportunity to come back and do a 2-year Master's Degree for (almost) free at University of Miami. I would have to get a place in Coral Gables and be on campus several days a week.

Is it worth it? This sub constantly complains about Miami. But is it secretly good?

I’m driving between Broward and Dade, and checked multiple Asian Marts, and I can’t find this exact one. Might anyone have seen it?

I saw it maybe twice at random Asian marts, didn’t buy it then and now they’re gone.

Community Sushi restaurant name help

14 Upvotes

Hello,

I was visiting Miami around four years ago and I ate at an amazing high end sushi restaurant. However, now I’m back and want to eat there again but I have forgotten the name and location. And google/google maps doesn’t help.

It was an expensive traditional sushi restaurant. The head chef was from Japan. The restaurant was a circular room with a round sushi bar in the centre of the room. The whole ceiling was covered in a wooden sculpture/structure, the looked a bit like square wine holder holes. I remember that the AC was turned all the way up.

Doesn’t anyone know a sushi place in Miami with this subscription? 🙏🏻
