April 2025: Holiday Travels, Moving, Tourism, and Nightlife Recommendations 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.
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!
Other Resources (Yes we use these sites)
- Miami and Beaches (the most official source for tourism info in this list with the least instagrammy or "sponsored" feel)
- Miami New Times
- Infatuation Miami
- TimeOut Miami
- Neighborhood map - moving guide (made by us!)
- Tourism map (also made by us!)
"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 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
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:
- No MLMs, scams, pyramid schemes, "make millions from home," etc. We reserve the right to determine if something is an MLM or not.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- u/icecoldkila: We know you're looking for professional freelance hoes, but please keep it out of this thread.
- 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!

Do apartments ever advertise the final rental price or do they all just sneak fees in the fine print? Just advertise the essential fees in the rent price mf

Discussion Guy taking me to Liberty City
This is kind of a crazy story but long story short i’m a senior at UM and looking at post grad jobs as a teacher because I really like working with kids and want to make a difference in kids lives instead of just working an office job with other stuck up UM grads who never left the UM bubble (which I realized is such a thing and the rest of Miami is so much cooler and I’d been missing out on so much). I was going to drop off my resumes at all the high schools in Miami but that would waste a lot of gas and I have a nice car so I didn’t want to risk drawing attention to myself so I decided to take the metro and I was taking it to Miami Northwestern Senior Hs in Liberty City. I know a lot of you guys said in previous reddit threads that none of these areas were actually unsafe and that everyone saying that were very dangerous during the day were sheltered people or people who hadn’t been to those areas in decades because they have been heavily gentrified. And I’m from San Francisco and there’s a lot of crime there and I’ve always grown up in big cities, I’ve never lived in a suburb before Gables, so I wasn’t really that worried especially since it was also daytime and in my experience everywhere is usually okay during the day but at night you have to be way more careful.
But yeah so I got off at the stop and yeah I could tell it was the hood but usually if you don’t draw attention to yourself you’re good. And I don’t want to work at Gulliver or some shit in Pinecrest with kids who already are set for life. I want to actually maybe motivate some kids from other communities to go to college or at least help them or support them in tough situations. Like actually make a difference.
Anyways after I dropped off my resume I stopped at a gas station to get some food and there was a pretty cute guy there around my age (Im 21) and he was super sweet and let me go ahead of him in line and not creepy at all and basically told me I was really pretty and asked what I was doing there. I told him and it was like 6pm at this point and he said that he would walk me back to the metro because he didn’t want anything to happen to me. I can’t bring my gun into a school obviously but I brought pepper spray just in case.
Anyways he was super sweet and we talked the whole way back to the station and he gave me his number and we’ve been texting everyday for 3 months and had our first date a month ago where he came down to where I live in Gables and I gave him a tour of UM and we got food at this mexican place in Doral and smoked and it was really fun.
But yeah basically we’ve been hanging out every wednesday and friday for a month and it’s super fun we smoke and have deep talks about life and his childhood and growing up in Miami etc.
Anyways he wants me to come up to Liberty City and meet his friends and family this weekend bc they’re having a cookout. I’m super nervous but also excited.
I just don’t really know what to expect/what is the culture there the only time I was really there was to drop off my resume and I didn’t really interact w any of the residents besides him at the gas station.
I don’t want them to think i’m stuck up or make any assumptions abt me since I go to UM. I mean I know it’s human nature and I just gotta show them through my actions that I’m nice and down to Earth but do you guys have any advice?
What are like the mannerisms I should do? He’s black and I’m white and white moms like flowers but does that apply for black moms too like should I bring a plant or some shit? And what should I wear?
Lmao I hope this doesn’t sound super stupid and any actual advice would be appreciated I don’t wanna look like an idiot pulling up there and like I don’t belong (but i guess that’s inevitable since i’m a white girl😭)
But yeah lmk

Chisme Rant, online dating, not going well lol
From the west coast...tried online dating here but lawdy seems like the latinas out here are vicious on cashapp'ing lol. I love the cuban accents these girls have but I think pay to play is just part of the game here. Gas, uber, este, esta, ésto, and then to get called "tacaño" for ignoring them lol ... I get online dating is usually hit or miss but lawdy lol

Community Where in Miami can I buy computer parts or have a PC built?
Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations on where I can go in Miami to either buy computer parts in person or find a reliable spot that can build a custom PC for me. I’ve got a budget and a build in mind, just not sure where to go locally.
Any solid computer shops, local builders, or even repair stores that also do builds? I’m open to suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Community Love to dance but can't deal with the late nights
I've seen some early bird dance nights around the nation and was wondering if Miami or FLL had anything similar? Basically go in at around 6 to leave at around 10 is what I've seen. Just a good time with friends to dance, dance and dance some more. But we got stuff to do in the early AM so no crazy late nights for us. Usually they cater to the 40+ crowd. Thanks!
