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.

9 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

14 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 Waymo vehicles are government surveillance operations disguised as taxis…

222 Upvotes

…and you can’t convince me otherwise.

They’re always driving around at all hours of the day and night with an empty backseat.

And before you say, "Oh, maybe they’re on their way to pick someone up," no, they’re not because there are always three of them within a few minutes of each other, all heading the exact same way.

I’ve literally only seen someone inside one once. At spots where everyone’s waiting for an Uber, like the airport or the brightline station, I never see Waymos picking anyone up.

I also never see police cars patrolling anywhere anymore, except outside grocery stores and crowded events.

Does anyone actually use Waymo?

Never in my life would I have thought that public education, a concept the Founding Fathers viewed as a necessity for an informed public, would be on its way out. It is absolutely disgusting and nothing but disgraceful how corrupt Donalds’ and republicans are. Please vote to fight for the kids of MDCPS. They are as deserving of an outstanding public school system as we were.

Discussion The latest King tide

56 Upvotes

According to Brian McNoldy, U Miami's local expert, "The high tide on Tuesday morning was definitely historic. I can confidently say that it was easily the highest tide in Miami’s history that didn’t involve a hurricane." The primary reasons for this historic high tide are the October King Tide being amplified by strong NE winds that pushes ocean water toward the coast and the added water from rainfall. Be careful near the coast during the next few days.

Community Looking for a local social club/community?

20 Upvotes

I have seen a lot of posts about how hard it is to make friends as an adult, and believe me I have been there too so I completely understand. I want to share something that helped me!

A while back a small group of us started getting together regularly to go to the movies. What started as a few friends hanging out turned into something bigger, a real community of people across South and Central Florida who share a love for film and just wanted people to do things with on weekends.

We go to screenings together, do a group debrief after, occasionally cosplay, plan dinner before and activities after. It started as a movie thing but honestly it’s become more of a friend group at this point. We’ve had members meet at events and become genuine friends which is rare in Miami.
Not trying to spam or self promote just genuinely think there are people here who might be looking for exactly this kind of thing and don’t know it exists.

Miami has such a great film culture and it feels underutilized.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or what our events and meetups look like. Always open to connecting with more Miami locals who love movies!

Discussion Dating in Miami- Men and Women both, feel free to contribute

3 Upvotes

Now I have lived in the mid west before for about 10 years but have lived much longer in Miami.

Living in the Midwest made me realize that if the average person is friendly, the entire city is a much better place to live in, which was a stark difference from Miami.

I say that to ask this. When it comes to dating and let’s say there was a bad communication issue or a situation where there is a minor annoyance or disrespect which may be indirectly.

you have the option to give the person reasonable doubt, always in both cities. But where should you be less forgiving about it and where should you be more forgiving about it?

In the Midwest I felt pretty comfortable with it because where I was living was the friendliest people I’d ever been around in general (this is still a large city, not a small town). So I feel like giving them a second or even a third chance depending on the severity of what has happened, is less risky when the average person is nicer then they are in Miami.

I have by default been giving people the benefit of the doubt in Miami but after experiences throughout my life I wonder if I should be much stricter BECAUSE of the quality of people in Miami being much lower.

Should I be playing this tighter as in if they communicate bad and you talk to them once about it and they do it again they’re out? Or if you just notice they communicate bad move on without even saying anything and then if they reach out tell them hey the way you communicate it’s just not for me.

It does mean you will burn through people quicker in general, a lot quicker. But what I’m wondering is does that mean you’ll get to the quality person faster than giving people more then the benefit of the doubt?

I only question this because it’s been my default, to be kind and optimistic but I’m beginning to think it’s not a good idea in Miami. It feels like it’s not as good an idea as it is in Denver.

What do you all Miamians out there think? I want to hear from both women and men.

Community Experience with different Long Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTACH) in the Miami Area

7 Upvotes

My partner (M33) has been at Maimi UTower Hospital for almost 2 months now. While I've felt the care here is great, they're discussing plans to potentially move him to an LTACH facility as he's getting better. I don't live locally and have a lot of bad experiences with rehab type places back home in Palm Beach County so I'm hesitant and suspicious of so many of these facilities and I don't trust their reps as far as I can throw them.

So, I'd like to weigh my options and see what other people's experiences have been.

So far Select Specialty in Miami Lakes and Kindred Hospital in Coral Gables are the first LTACH facilities that have sent reps to talk to me. After doing my own research and reading a ton of reviews I feel like I need to drop Kindred completely off the list, but the jury is still out on Select.
I had someone from PT here mention that they thought that Jackson had an LTACH facility, but the social worker doesn't think so.

I'd love to hear people's opinions and thought on Select and Kindred as well as any other LTACHs they felt were good in the Miami area.

Despite not being from Miami, I would like to stay in the area for two main reasons: one being that I don't want my partner to have to take a nearly 2hr long ambulance ride to be transferred closer to our home and the other being that I'd prefer to keep him close to his doctors at uHealth.

A little info about things that are important to me when looking for facilities:

  • They will let me stay the night there with him and spend the whole day with him (this is something I refuse to compromise on)
  • They are able to manage ventilators/trach patients with complex pulmonary and ID care
  • They will keep up with wound care and pressure wound prevention
  • PT is a regular thing and he will get proper consistent therapy
  • They are familiar and competent handling cancer patients with compromised immune systems
  • They do not let patients sit in filth and go without bathing
  • He will have a private room (it's fine if it's more ICU style with the glass doors and curtain, I just know that sharing a room with someone will make him go crazy at some point)

My partner is a complex patient with a lot going on and would be coming to them on a ventilator with a trach with the goal of being taken off the vent and gaining enough strength to allow him to get his cancer resection surgery. He would also be coming to them with a stage 4 pressure wound so I'm very worried about it getting worse and/or getting infected. He is young and has a strong will to get better and take care of himself so he's got that going for him, but I refuse to put him in a place that won't take proper care of him or neglect him in ways that will land him back in the ICU.

Please adopt this kitten! I was walking my dog and heard a kitten crying from under my neighbor's car. For two days.

So I rescued her and now she needs a home. We already have 3 cats from the Cat Distribution System - cannot add another.

Who would like to adopt her and / or does anyone know someone who wants to adopt?

She is a total purrball! I'm estimating 8 weeks old.
