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

12 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 Dog on the loose after attack on girl in Miami-Dade

“… A dog is on the loose after attacking a girl Wednesday in Miami-Dade, leaving blood, scattered dog treats and toys, and a mangled dog crate outside the scene.

Neighbors heard a girl screaming and called 911. A woman speaking through a Spanish translator said the dog wouldn’t let the girl go, biting one arm before going after the other.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies responded to Northwest 66th Street around 4:40 p.m. for an animal bite. Deputies said they learned the dog was a family pet.

The dog’s owner, who asked to remain anonymous, told Local 10 the incident was a shock.

“It is a big shock because this is not him. This is completely out of character,” she said….”

Discussion Apple Weather says the air in South Dade is 178

Opened Apple Weather to see if I needed a jacket (lol) and found out my neighborhood is a giant red blob screaming "178" while the rest of Florida sits there in a calm green like nothing's happening. Fort Lauderdale is breathing mountain air and we're down here getting cooked like a croqueta. So I need a real answer: do I need to wear a mask when I step outside my house?

Politics Vote No to Amendment 2

115 Upvotes

I had to look this one up. Everyone is just focused on the other amendments, but this hurts citizens of Miami.

The state legislators are sneaking this one in to help their big business friends.

Businesses get the tax break. The rest of us in the cities get stuck with the bill through higher costs or fewer local services.

That's not tax relief to the businesses; it's shifting the burden onto everyone else. VOTE NO AMENDMENT 2

Discussion Looking for an honest dentist in Miami

39 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a good, honest dentist in Miami who doesn’t push unnecessary procedures?

I used to have a great dentist, but the practice changed ownership, and now it feels like they’re constantly recommending treatments I don’t actually need.

Just looking for someone trustworthy who cares about their patients instead of trying to upsell everything.

Politics I had to re-request my mail in ballot in early September and have yet to receive it. Anyone else?

9 Upvotes

I’ll mention that I requested to always have a mail in ballot sent to me, and I had to re-request that in September after not receiving my ballot. I requested mine and my husband’s (who became a citizen last year and can finally vote!) on September 17 and it was “sent out on September 20.” I have yet to receive it and the tracker also still just says the sent date.

I don’t want to put my tin foil hat on but … come on lol.

Anyone else?

Obviously will go vote in person at this rate but wanted to see if I’m not alone. I will also say all of my mail has been delayed. No se bro 👽

Community Update on the dog I found a few weeks ago in Aventura/Hallandale area

Thumbnail gallery
391 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a little update on the dog I posted about a few weeks ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Miami/s/WeknOxA8Dp

After nearly three weeks of trying to locate his original owners, nobody ever came forward. We honestly considered keeping him ourselves because he's an absolute sweetheart. We even named him Dante.

He's incredibly affectionate, loves attention, wants to lick everybody, and will happily climb right into your lap like he's a little puppy. He also got along great with our other dog.

Unfortunately, I have a son on the autism spectrum who sometimes makes sudden movements, loud noises, and unexpected gestures. The dog had a concerning reaction at one point, including growling and lunging toward him during an outburst. Nobody was hurt, but we ultimately decided that our household wasn't the safest fit for him.

It was a really difficult decision because we genuinely grew attached to him.

Dante and is now at Broward County Animal Care in, listed as A2481642 under the name Jetski. They estimate he's around 2 years old, weighs 50 pounds, and is an American Staffordshire Terrier.

I really think he deserves a loving home with someone who can provide the right environment for him.

If anyone is interested in adopting him, or knows someone who might be, please check out his listing or contact Broward Animal Care and reference his animal ID.

I just want to see this little guy get another chance. He's got so much love to give. I honestly cried giving up this dog but having a child with special needs, I had to make that decision.

Discussion Upzoning Proposal in Overtown

Post image
17 Upvotes

City of Miami Manager James Reyes submitted a proposal to bump up the zoning classification for a section of Overtown just south of Wynwood. These lots are “T3-O” and consist mainly of old duplexes and single-family homes. This upzone to “T4-R” allows for the redevelopment of an area that’s conveniently located near Downtown and the new Carnegie Mellon Campus. T4-R will allow for medium-density development, think Townhomes and small apartment buildings. If done correctly, this can be a much needed improvement to the once great neighborhood of Overtown. What do you guys think?
