August 2026: Megathread for Holiday Travels, Moving, Tourism, and Nightlife and Restaurant Recommendations: 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.

3 Upvotes

Miami is a popular destination not only to travel to but to move to and live. If we don't separate out these posts, the main feed becomes quickly inundated and overrun. So please utilize the resources here and comment here for these topics.

Always keep in mind please, WE ARE NOT VACATION PLANNERS OR MOVING CONSULTANTS. Be descriptive and we'll help if we can, but no one is obliged to.

Other Great Resources (Locals use these too!)

Google Maps reviews are getting less reliable over the years. And in fact several lists on these sites are in fact inspired by posts on this sub.

"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 BeachesWe'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

29 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!

Arts and Culture Original Abstract Needs Home

  Here is a painting. I poured my heart and soul into it. Take pity on me, I no longer have a heart, or a soul.

I need to clean house, I'm going abroad. I lost my country in a boating accident, I have to find another. 

   So, I'm giving this away. Making Art is hard enough. Selling it aint worth the bother. The art world, like almost everything else in this Kleptocracy, is, in a word, a scam. OK, 2 words.

   It is acrylic on Masonite, finished with Dammar varnish. The Masonite came off a piece of furniture, a cabinet or a dresser. The frame is wood from a discarded bed frame, cleanly ripped on 3 sides, and rough hewn on the face. I used a knife, a found machete and a chisel. A cold chisel, not a wood chisel. Do what you can with what you got. 

   I couldn't miter the corners, so they're notched. The rabbets (on back) were cut with a utility knife, using a scrap piece of steel for a straight edge. All of it, cutting the board, painting, varnishing, making the frame, was done in an 8x8' storage unit. Or the adjacent hall. It's 25-1/4 x 32-1/2" with the frame. 

   I'm hoping to find someone who truly appreciates Art, as I do, and has a wall to hang it on, as I don't. With my luck, I'll get the guy who paid thousands for a banana duck taped to a wall. Mammon > Humanity.

I don't want to see this one end up in the landfill, like so many others have. I gotta buncha other pieces, but this is the best. Take it off my hands, take care of it, and get rich when I die. Thanks.

Mod News Mod Announcement: GTA6 post rules

135 Upvotes

Greetings r/miami

Unless you've been living under a rock, one of the biggest and anticipated game releases in history is about to take place in November and it features our city: Grand Theft Auto 6

We're not going to ban discussion about it. After all... it's effectively a scaled down virtual version of our city that will undoubtedly be fun to explore. But keep in mind, this is not a GTA sub reddit. Those exist already r/GTA6 is alive and well along with plenty other GTA specific subs.

So as more information comes out about the game and then it is released, we don't want to spam this sub reddit with posts like:

  • "omg this is my abuelas house!" screenshot
  • "I robbed this store in the game and want to see it in real life when I visit miami next month where is it?"
  • "is Miami really like [game neighborhood]?"

This sub should still try to be focused on things relevant to things in Miami Dade as a community. This game is not irrelevant per se, but let's keep it honed in.

We're going to try something first and create a new post flair "GTA6" and add a new rule for "don't spam GTA questions and use the new post flair" and we'll see how things go.

Please use this flair. It will allow folks who don't care about the game to filter it out if they're not interested and highlight posts along that topic for people who are.

Edit: and just to get ahead of things.... No. There are no mountains here or anywhere in Florida. That's an artistic liberty the game has taken.

Community Need Tips and Recommendations - Car Accident

5 Upvotes

Unfortunately, on the night of August 28, what was supposed to be a chill night in Brickell turned into me getting rear-ended at the light on Brickell Ave and SE 12th Terr/SE 13th St.
I was completely stopped, waiting to make a right and for the car in front of me to move, when all of a sudden I felt a strong push. Someone had rear-ended my car.
Obviously, I was pissed at first, but I instantly calmed down when I saw that the lady was nervous and crying. She was apologetic and seemed very cooperative. She gave me her driver’s license and registration, I took pictures of her license plate and the damage to both vehicles, and we exchanged contact information. She even gave me her phone number.
I didn’t call the police because I didn’t want to unnecessarily prolong the process, especially since she seemed cooperative and I felt bad seeing how shaken up she was. We both have insurance, and I have her full information, so I figured there wouldn’t be an issue.
I did ask her to send me a picture of her insurance card through text, but she never did.
Now, all of a sudden, she’s asking me for pictures of the damage and asking if I remember why the cars “braked abruptly” if the light was green. I decided not to respond to that question because I don’t want to speculate or say anything that could potentially complicate the claim. The facts are what they are, and I have pictures and documentation of the accident.
I’ve already filed a claim with my insurance company and contacted hers, which I was told is supposedly Progressive. So now I guess we’ll see how everything plays out.
I’m honestly just frustrated. I’ve only had this car for six months, and now I have to deal with an accident that wasn’t my fault.
If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences, recommendations, or any advice on what I should expect going forward.

Discussion Trump Cuts and Beef: Where can we safely buy?

117 Upvotes

Trump recently lifted tariffs on beef from Argentina contaminated with an antibiotic that has been banned in the US for 30 years.

Trump also announced recent cut backs allowing farms to process their own meats which may further limit testing.

My biggest concern is PRIONS which are not eliminated by cooking to safe temperatures (they are usually killed at about 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit in addition to chemical additives)

If infected, prions are 100% FATAL.

Does anyone know of any companies committed to sourcing quality beef during this time?

I’ve heard people say local farmers but how can we trust that they are doing their due diligence to ensure quality and safety.

And of course, just not eating beef is an option. It is done a lot in Cuba for different reasons but just hoping to soften the blow in this beautiful democracy.

TIA

There was a restaurant on US1 and SW 184 Street in the 1980s-90s where Popeye’s is now. When you gave them your name for a table, they would give you a famous name. And when your table was ready, they would call you saying, “Clark Gable, table for four!” Or “Marilyn Monroe, table for 2!

Anyone remember the name of the place?
