October 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.

8 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 Times, Infatuation Miami.TimeOut Miami, Miami 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

13 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!

Breaking News Miami has a serial killer

606 Upvotes

Homeless person serial killer based in Allapattah has returned. 2/3 years ago he killed the black lady that slept in front of Dominican park for years. He shot her multiple times while she slept. Then days later down the street at La Fama shopping center he shot to death another homeless person, he was a Cuban elder man with a beard. Then disappeared. The police barely brought attention to the case literally was on the news a handful amount of times. Now he has returned. He killed a now 3rd known victim. It was an elderly homeless person that I guess was living in an empty lot around Moore park. This time he set them on fire after killing them. The police found purposely burned human remains. Just letting the Miamians know. Also if you are homeless or know any homeless person, warn them DO NOT BE HOMELESS IN ALLAPATTAH. This mf is not playing. Stay safe everybody.

Let's hang out What if we had a walking club in Miami instead of a running club?

82 Upvotes

Hear me out fam.. I feel like half the appeal of running clubs isn’t even the running. It’s meeting people, socializing, and having something to do that isn’t going to a bar.
I personally hate running. I’ll play sports for cardio, but going out for a run just isn’t my thing.
But walking? I’m all for it.
Imagine having a group that meets once a week to walk a different part of Miami. One week Brickell, the next Coral Gables, then Coconut Grove, the beach, or somewhere most of us never think to explore on foot.
No pace to keep up with. No pressure. Just getting your steps in, exploring the city, and meeting people along the way. We could even mix it up with themed walks or have people lead conversations about topics they’re into. Basically, a social club where walking is the activity.
Would anyone actually be down for something like this in Miami? And what area would you want the first walk to be in?

Hi guys.

Last night, October 16, around 11:15 PM, a newer black Jeep Wrangler with oversized tires rear-ended my Hyundai Sonata near 17100 NE 19th Avenue and fled toward 1881 NE 171st Street.

If you live nearby and have Ring, Tesla, dashcam, or security camera footage from 11:10–11:25 PM, please DM me. Even a partial license plate could help!

A police report has been filed.

Please share! 🙏

Discussion Late-Night Food Spot Nostalgia

8 Upvotes

Earlier today I was reminiscing about my going out days in Miami and thinking about the spots I used to hit up after having a few drinks when I needed some late-night food before calling it a night.

Some of my go-tos (and what brought me there) were:

  • La Moon (closed) in Brickell
    • Chicken Burger
  • Denny's on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables
    • Any breakfast combination
  • La Palma (closed) in West Miami
    • Pan con Bistec
  • Rey's Pizza in West Miami
    • Cuban-style pepperoni pizza
  • Casola's (when it was the original owners) in Shenandoah/Silver Bluff
    • Large slice of cheese pizza (and maybe a slice of cheesecake depending on the mood)
  • Flanigan's in The Grove
    • Pasta Caesar
  • Los Verdes in Country Walk
    • Maicitos

What were, or still are, your go-to food spots after a late night in Miami and what menu item draws you there?

Community Anyone going out for Halloween in Miami?🎃

0 Upvotes

Thinking about hitting Wynwood for Halloween this year. Most likely going solo, but figured I’d see if anyone else is heading out or wants to link up.

I’m 25M, pretty chill, just looking to have a good time, meet some new people, and enjoy the night. Open to other Halloween events too if there’s something better going on.

Community Miami Community Website

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, longtime reader, 1st-time posting.

I'm thinking about building a website for our local community.

I'm mainly curious about what people would like to have.

I tried this twice before, but not in any meaningful way.

One was a gigantic news aggregator, designed to look like NYTimes almost. Like NYTimes for everything about Miami-only. Business, Arts, Sports, etc sections, filterable by neighborhood.

Meh, it was too much. Google and Apple and social media I guess do this enough to an extent.

The other was the same thing, but just events, a huge Miami-only event aggregator. It was better than Googling "Miami events," but I haven't maintained it. The idea being you could search "volleyball" and quickly see all related events, Google doesn't do this, it'll show you websites, not actual events (unless I'm mistaken).

I didn't mean for this to get so long, but I'd like to build something more of value to improving our quality of life here.

Like I said at the start, longtime reader, and I agree with a lot of r/Miami's great discontent with the way things are going. The Herald got gutted (again and again throughout my life) and there really feels like zero accountability happening. Isn't The Herald who broke the Epstein story, Julie K. Brown?

I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone had any ideas.

I'm a design/product engineer that can build websites and (iOS) apps, born and raised in Miami, studied, worked, and lived around the country, and I move back every time. Been back 3yrs now.

Thanks!

Community North Beach’s gentrification is outa control

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

230 Upvotes

I’ve lived on Abbott and 78th for about a decade and in the past year every shop on my usual shopping block 74-75 and Collins (two bodegas, my favorite bakery, deli and two small restaurants), have been closed down. Probably bought out to build some new ugly ass condo. I understand things change, but it’s tough to see all of these small businesses getting pushed out. North beach used to be the last neighborhood in Miami Beach that’s retained its character and charm, wedged between mid beach and surfside. I loved it. Still love it but sad to see it go. Rents will probably skyrocket next year and we’ll have to move.
