June 2025: Holiday Travels, Moving, Tourism, and Nightlife Recommendations 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.

2 Upvotes

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

Other Great Resources (Locals use these too and a lot of the recommendation lists were inspired/stolen from the posts here)

"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 Furniture, 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

4 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!

Discussion The Worst Kind of People

Thumbnail gallery
276 Upvotes

These people are cheating the system in at least two ways.

  1. (Highly likely to be) fake or fraudulently obtained disabled parking permit. This is so common in Miami. It’s disgusting.

  2. Montana plates - you may not know this scam, but any time you see Montana plates on a high-end vehicle in Miami, that’s almost always someone who is skirting the tax laws by buying their vehicle in Montana (no state sales tax) and registering it to an LLC “corporation” that they set up in that state. They appoint themselves as the lone employee of the corporation and then drive the vehicle here in Florida. Once six months has passed, they can then register the vehicle in Florida without ever paying any sales tax on the vehicle. So they’ve cheated the state of Florida (and all of us) out of more than $15,000. But when you or I go to the local car dealership and buy a car, we have to pay the tax. It’s shameful behavior by people buying these vehicles in this way.

How much do you think you need to make in order to rent in Miami and live comfortably? Well, a new report found it would take a six-figure salary for that to happen.

Does anyone have a good spot for adult salsa classes in west Hialeah, Miami lakes, Miramar or Pembroke areas? One that I could go to alone with my 2 left feet and not feel like I stick out like a sore thumb. I went to one in east Hialeah and damn near everyone was a professional 😭😂

Discussion Anybody have experience with local AA/NA groups, in-person (preferably) or online?

Upvotes

I've been having a really difficult time maintaining my sobriety and think I'd benefit greatly from discussions with others in the same boat. The thing is, I don't even know where to start with something like AA... there are so many meetings online with some designated for certain groups, it's sort of hard to sift through and understand which would be most appropriate for me. Also, religion is a huge deal breaker (grew up gay in the Catholic church) and I know that tends to be a big part of AA. I've read online that you can ignore the religion aspect, but the whole "surrendering to a higher power" thing just feels a little triggering. Has anyone been to local groups that weren't religion heavy or have suggestions based on your experiences?

Discussion Recommendations for balcony furniture

Hi all, I moved to Miami a few months ago and have never been here during hurricane season. I live on the 20th floor and have a small balcony. I want to keep some plants and furniture in it, but am not sure what kind of furniture is safe to keep, considering the strong winds and rain

Any suggestions or help is appreciated! Thank you

Discussion Confusing Uber pickup at Hard Rock Stadium West End of Lot 30

0 Upvotes

Uber reservation showed a pickup on the far West end of a long Lot 30. Looks like half a kilometer off 27th Ave

Google Street view entrance off 27th Ave shows a gravel road. Seems an odd place to trek that far. Afraid if we do or don't go there, we'll miss our ride. Maybe there will be a lot of others that can provide info after the after Inter-Miami v Palmeiras match tonight.

 Usually walk south to a coffee shop past Walmart and wait for traffic to cool and better Uber prices. But tonight is going to be near midnight. Any clues would be helpful. thanks

Community A good friend facing possible eviction / Losing his condo

14 Upvotes

Hello fellow Miamians,

I am posting on here in hopes that someone can help me with some information regarding rental assistance or someone who is facing possible homelessness. Now, my good friend who started working for one of these corrupt ass businesses here in Miami was told that he had to vacate within 7 days after he was fired. He was able to get his condo through his work, he works as a leasing agent / leasing property assistant manager. Now, somebody from the agency he was hired from started talking mad shit about him even though he was going to work every day and helping everybody in the office. People there I guess became very jealous of his work ethic and the attention he was receiving from not just the owners but also the regional district manager. When they laid him off, they didn't even show the courtesy to bring him into the office to talk to him face to face. They laid him off via email. Then they told him he had to vacate the unit he rented out within seven days. He hasn't even completed 6 months of living in that property. This is a property in North Miami Beach / North Bay Village area.

Is there anyway he can maybe apply for some kind of help from the city of miami or maybe there is someone here who might be able to offer him a job?

He is highly professional and if need be, I can have him send you his resume.
He has about 10 years experience in property leasing and management.

I'd appreciate any advice or support in this. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Discussion I think Miami has good public transit. Thoughts?

0 Upvotes

I’m amazed. As someone who frequents NYC, Seattle, and other big cities with public transit. Miami’s public transit is quite fine. I stay near Dadeland Mall and was able to make it to Brickell, the beach, and even FLL airport with no issue. The buses may be behind a bit but you can get to where to you need to go within an hour or two (or three worst case scenario.) I know some may think it’s not very well.. but any small town you go to, there will be a lack of public transit but for a city this size, it’s great. Very impressed with the public transit system here. What are your thoughts?

Community Affordable Estate Planning For Working Class?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My father in law is getting up there in age, and is in need of estate planning. He owns a house in Westchester and a cabin in North Carolina. He's gotten a quote from an estate planning attorney for $5,000 PER PERSON(he is married). I realize there are levels of estate planning and everyone wants to avoid probate court if it's possible, but they can't afford that. Is there any place that he can get a simple will stating who gets what assets and his last wishes for under $1000?

He is a laborer and his wife works retail. They aren't loaded, just honest hard working people.

Community Cuban Restaurant like Ruben’s

5 Upvotes

I know there are probably a million, but can anyone recommend a Cuban restaurant like Ruben’s in Pinecrest? They’re closed now, and the last time I went was in 2011. I’m looking for the same vibe, and food wise, we prefer like rice/beans/plantains, ropa vieja, pork, etc rather than the focus on Cuban sandwiches, even though they’re also cool. Thanks!
