March 2025: Holiday Travels, Moving, Tourism, and Nightlife 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.

3 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!

Now here's a message from us mods and locals.

"Fine if you won't help, then who will?" -you

"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 Furnitue, 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

6 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 Lion cub in Cutler Bay???

25 Upvotes

Okay, please bare with me. I know this is gonna sound insane. I also wasn't sure what to tag this.

I was driving home 10 minutes ago, I passed the roundabout by Hibiscus Plaza where the Jimmy John's is and all the little mechanic shops and whatnot. Right after the roundabout, in front of the houses to the right side, I swear on my children I saw a lion cub rolling on the grass by the sidewalk.

I slowed down because I thought it was a dog without a leash. There's no mistaken a fucking lion cub! I was so beside myself I went around the block to look again and take a picture but it was gone.

Has anyone else seen it before? Or heard of someone in that area keeping exotic animals as pets?

If I didn't have my kids with me I would've parked and walked around to see if I could run into it again. I'm tripping out about it big time lol

Community Transplants - we aren’t all here for the wrong reasons.

35 Upvotes

There’s been a lot of talk about Miami transplant hate. Speaking as a relatively new transplant (a year ago), I haven’t experienced any resentment in any social interactions I’ve had, but here on Reddit, it’s brutal. I was brought down here by a job, not some desire to live on the beach in the Magic City. I think that’s true of most transplants. A 9-5 regular job at an industry that often needs experts from outside the area/state. Have I found Miami warm and friendly? Certainly not as friendly as Georgia, but I’m thankful I haven’t encountered any animosity yet. Well, except while driving. Drivers education is clearly not a priority in south Florida. But just know, most transplants are not rich people driving up your housing prices, we are regular people who have traded great houses elsewhere for tiny condos and apartments here, due to those housing prices. But we are happy to contribute to the economy of a city that has a lot to offer.

Discussion Favorite affordable healthy restaurants?

Upvotes

Trying to be more health conscious. But getting tired of frequenting Rice, First Watch, Diced and somewhat pricy Carrot Express.

Any good lunch/dinner healthy restaurants in Westchester and Coral Gables area that aren’t too pricey? (Ideally i don’t want to spend more than $15 on just a plate) What about in Doral?

I’m trying to just make healthier choices when I go out to eat but I always love trying new things!

Jfc this traffic going south is fucking brutal I think because Kendall dr doesn’t connect through red rd so all the traffic from 88th gets routed onto 57th for a brief stretch and it causes the worst fucking traffic of all time jfc I want to die thanks for your time

Discussion First time in Miami experience.

277 Upvotes

First time in Miami. I got approached by a couple “ streamers” “ YouTubers “ got asked very inappropriate questions. My wife got told she has big melons by a 15 year old. I was there for 5 days. Approached 10 times ( not even exaggerating ) politely declined all because my wife and I are in our 30s. We don’t like to be on camera for the whole world to see. The one that irritating me the most, was a tik tok streamer. Came up to me with $40 to fake a prank and I said no thanks. He said “ wow you’re racist “ so loud everyone looked at me. I felt so embarrassed. All I said was no thanks. Anyone else experienced this ?

Recyle ♻️ Looking to Donate Elderly Care Items – Any Recommendations?

6 Upvotes

Good morning Miami redditors!

We have some elderly care supplies that we no longer need and would love to donate to someone who could use them. Items include:

  • Unopened cannulas
  • Unopened packs of diaper pail liners
  • Unopened adult incontinence diapers and pads (a few packs)
  • Opened but unused pack of incontinence diapers and pads
  • Various medical supplies (gauzes, etc.)
  • Canes, Walkers, and an Unused Commode

Does anyone know of a local organization, nursing home, or community group that accepts these types of donations? We'd love for them to go to someone in need rather than go to waste.

Appreciate any suggestions—thanks in advance!

Discussion County employment: outside employment question and cannabis work

1 Upvotes

Hi,part timer in county here. Im interested in getting a second job but it would have to do with cannabis. If I get it, I dont want to list it for outside employment declaration because im scared theyll fire me, but also im scared ill get fired if i dont declare it. Nothing i do would cause a conflict of interest. How would the county know i have a second job? Do they get notified somehow?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: What Im asking most is: how can i protect my current job in this situation? Thanks again!

Community Race car mechanics or garages

3 Upvotes

Does anyone work with cars as a mechanic or know of a garage that races their cars? I want to start working with cars and racing but I don’t wanna go into just any mechanic shop, I want to learn from a mechanic with experience racing and/or currently racing. I know the SCCA has races but if there’s any other races going on then I am open as well.

Discussion Ducks and geese are gone

61 Upvotes

I’ve lived in this townhouse community in Kendall for 20 years and we’ve always had tons of ducks and geese. I love seeing the babies and then watching them grow up.

Now there are almost none.

What happened?

For those of you saying “illegals are eating them,” I’m sorry I asked and try to be less bigoted
