Recommendations in Miami
I recommend Casa La Rubia in Wynwood. It's a great spot for nerds to relax and enjoy a drink, and it's also a place where you can make your own math-friendly bar.
Threefold Cafe is a solid, affordable OG breakfast spot in Miami. It serves a genuinely good breakfast, which is exactly what I'm looking for after trying several overpriced places in Downtown Miami.
Edgewater has plenty of amenities you're looking for. There are a lot of great food spots nearby too. You do have a Whole Foods that is nearby, to which is right across from Starbucks.
Getmyboat and Boatsetter offer yacht rentals with captains, but be aware that prices are high, with a 60' catamaran captained for $431 an hour. Prices like $2000 total (around $1000/yacht) for 4 hours are unrealistic, and the only place to find 2 yachts for a few hours for $2k in Miami is '1994', implying that it's extremely unlikely or even impossible.
Check out Supernatural House for modern pop music, as they have a great playlist and a lively atmosphere. It's a great place to dance and socialize, and it's frequented by people in their 20s and younger.
Sailing Adventures Miami is a great option for a sunset cruise in Miami, especially if you're looking for a more personalized experience. This sailing tour is offered by a guy in Coconut Grove and is fantastic. It's a great choice if you want to see the city skyline and shoreline from a different perspective.
Ray's barber shop in N Miami is a great alternative for those looking for a deathhawk hairstyle without breaking the bank. The price is around $20-25, which is significantly cheaper than other options in Miami.
Amazing mom and pop vegan spot It's been around for 30 years, and many people recommend it.
Meet fellow gamers and make friends at Arcade Odyssey, a great spot for in-person gaming meetups. They have regular meetups and events, making it easy to connect with others who share similar interests.
Head to the GameStop at Dolphin Mall if you're looking to buy a Nintendo 3DS console and a charger. The store has the console in stock, which is a must for you since games aren't a priority. Before you head out, call the store's phone number to confirm availability and hours. You can find the store's hours and phone number on their website. Dolphin Mall is a popular shopping destination, so it's likely you'll be able to find the store easily.
Has a little bit of everything, and it’s always good. Multiple times a week. The pool house/disco space is sick and the outdoor live space just as much. Both have absolutely incredible sound. There are private listening rooms attached to the disco house. Frequent free shows featuring major acts. Located near the author's home, it's easily accessible and offers live music options. The author has personally attended shows here and has experienced the high-quality sound firsthand.
El Mago de las Fritas is still alive and kicking it every day in the restaurant (except Sundays of course), serving up absolute fire torreznos on Saturdays. Head to Westchester and find this authentic Cuban food gem, it's worth a visit for the delicious torreznos alone.
For a Cuban food experience, consider Fritanga Monimbo, which offers traditional dishes like pork and Vaca Frita. They offer reasonable prices and cater to large groups, making them a great option for a birthday party.
Miami Mountain is an art installation created by Ugo Rondinone, featuring colorful rocks stacked together that resemble giant pieces of candy. It's a popular spot for tourists to take pictures and can't be missed when walking along the beach walkway.
This is phenomenal, Miami is one of the largest cities in the US without a top 25 university in the metro area (Dallas the only one bigger without a top tier school). Very excited for this
