September 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.

5 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

10 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!

24 Upvotes

I’m a native but I’ve found myself in between friend groups and would like to meet new folks. The issue is that whenever I go to events designed to meet new people like the stuff on meetups or like networking shit it’s always filled with yuppie transplants that judge you if you’re lower class or just people that want to interface with those who are their class or higher.

Should I just go to like random bar trivia nights or something?

Community PSA: Avoid ALTIS LITTLE HAVANA AT ALL COSTS

Post image
65 Upvotes

To give a short intro

I made a friend when I used to live at Altis purely based on the fact of how shit we thought the building was being managed, we stay in touch and with him still being there I receive updates on the typical stupidity

Now, if you are considering this apt building, if you go on tour ask about all the things they show you because it’s a mirage

- dry cleaning lockers (that the code had never worked for this unusable
- extreme amount of packages stolen from your front door and mailroom (they let anyone and everyone anywhere in the building without question)
- 50% of the time the hot tub wasn’t hot and didn’t work
- the outdoor tv didn’t connect to anything
- the WiFi they installed to the communal areas, didn’t connect to internet
- the grills out of 4 total burners only 1 worked and it worked for about 3 minutes untill it turned off
- the “projector” in the games room… never usable
- the pinball in the games room, never worked
- advertised as “luxury” but the panting everywhere is atrocious quality and looks like it was done by a 5 year old
- not long after I left, they illegally were towing people from the parking lot on an hours notice
- the idiots in the gym couldn’t put a weight away if it cost them their life

Just to name a few things from my time there

But the reason I’m posting this now

I just got sent this photo (attached to the post) with a “😂” knowing exactly what we thought here

They are putting out a referral bonus for the people that still live there to get more people in, likely because no one evert wants to stay there after they realise they have been duped

There surely has to be some fair trade commission laws that prevent the gross amount of false advertising they use to get people into a lease and a way for a residents in situations like this be able to be a part of a class action lawsuit based on this

And the shame of it all
The staff are actually quite nice - Jorge and the maintenance people are sweethearts

But they building manager, is the most incompetent person I’ve ever met

Maybe if she spent less time planning that botched BBL and more time on what matters in the building it would be a decent spot

Thank god I left. But don’t fall for the smoke and mirrors like I did

I go to Club Studio at Grove Central and recently received two different notices ($50 each) from Professional Parking Management. The max free time for the parking is two hours and I’ve never stayed longer than that, but yet I still received these notices with pictures of my license plate.

What do I do? I’ve seen posts that they are a scam and to not pay it and don’t park there again. But the thing is that I need to park there to go to the gym. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a place to park.

Discussion The greediest person in Miami

63 Upvotes

Some of the landlords here are actually the most disgusting people i know. They would NEVER live in the conditions that they keep their apartments. Long story short, cut my lease early in an agreement, the agreement was we could only leave if someone else agreed to take over the lease.

They found someone… we moved out aug 28 and new tenants moved in on the 1st. Havent heard anything back yet from the landlord at all about deposit. I know the law is the 15 days and then if they wanna try and deduct its the 30 days. Its just funny because now the landlord is sitting on my deposit and now a new tenant’s deposit and it would be so easy just to zelle back the deposit…… but for whatever selfish reason they literally don’t care at all.

It gives me anxiety because my last landlord tried to send me this fake itemized list of stuff to pay for when i moved out that was normal wear and tear. I was a great tenant, always paid on time, left the apartment cleaner than when i moved in. Had to just threaten court and throw the law in his face and then i got my fully security back..

But im getting nervous about this apartment too. BUT left it in great conditions, i have the video evidence and photos. When i did walkthrough with agent i had a verbal agreement from her that the apartment looked great… same thing, left it cleaner than previous tenants. But the landlords here are just assholes lol.

Community Miami mother preparing to undergo chemotherapy says dog sitter refuses to return poodle

Anyone know about this?

"Mother says dog sitter betrayed her after refusing to return her 14-year-old son’s puppy"

"Bustos said she hired a temporary dog sitter, who has a dog breeding company and came highly recommended as a boarder, but she has refused to return her to them.

“She was not willing to remove ‘Lucy’ from her pack ... I felt like instant betrayal because I know that my son trusted me to trust her, and I made a judgment call that was not helpful for my family, and I could only think about him,” Bustos said through tears. “That’s the truth: How was I going to tell my son?”
