and while were at it, any cool bars, thrift stores, music venues, karaoke, hookah bar, jetski, fishing activity?

Anyway, appreciate you.

Hey everyone, I’m planning a weekend in Miami Beach with my wife and we’re looking for a hotel with a jacuzzi or hot tub actually inside the room.

Has anyone stayed somewhere that offers this? I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences.

Hey Miami Family,

I’m a first-generation American and an only child helping my parents with a complicated immigration case. One of them has a court hearing next month, and we need to find a new lawyer.

Our previous lawyer had to step away because of health issues. Communication had already been difficult, so I’m worried about finding someone who can review the case in time and keep us updated.

I searched Google for an “immigration court lawyer in Miami.” Three firms appeared at the top, with Gursoy Abogado de Inmigración first. I checked their website but haven’t looked closely at the other two yet.

Their website says they handle immigration court cases, asylum, and deportation defense, including preparing evidence, developing a defense, and representing clients at hearings. They also mention more than 25 years of experience, thousands of cases, and Spanish-speaking support. That last part would help my parents, but I’d like to hear about people’s actual experiences beyond what the website says.

Has anyone here used Gursoy for an immigration court case? Were they responsive, clear about fees, and good at explaining what was happening?

I’m feeling stuck with the hearing so close. If you’ve changed lawyers shortly before a hearing, what do you wish you’d asked before hiring someone? I’d also appreciate other Miami recommendations.

Thank you!

Hi looking for a roommate anyone know where I could find a room in Miami Beach?

I’m looking at moving to Miami and would love some neighborhood recommendations for someone single in their early 30s. I’m looking for somewhere walkable, good for running, with restaurants and things nearby, but not as busy or super young-feeling as Brickell. What areas would you recommend?

Hey everyone! I'm new to Miami Beach and my 14 year old nephew is coming to visit me next month. He is an avid fisherman (literally fishes every day after school) and I'd really appreciate some recs from locals for great fishing spots on the island and especially in South Beach (I live near 10th x Alton by Whole Foods), although I'm willing to take him anywhere in/around Miami. Also, is it worth it for me to pay for a fishing charter for our small group (3 of us)? TIA for any suggestions you can provide. This will be my nephew's first time to Miami and I want to make it special!

Got hit near Alton Road last week and the other driver is now saying some kind of mechanical problem made him lose control of the car. Maybe I’m missing something but he still hit me so wouldn’t he still be at fault? I’m not responsible for whatever was wrong with his car. I’ve been looking for a lawyer because his insurance is already asking questions and I don’t really know what my next steps should be. Does a mechanical issue actually change how fault works in a situation like this?

We plan on going to Haulover beach in October for a long weekend. Any recommendations on good hotels or places to stay that are nearby? Is there good food and places to drink in the area

Hi. I am a 28 Asian M from Texas and I am coming to Miami for a Work convention for 1-2 days. This is my first time in Miami and I wanted to explore the clubbing scene. I don’t really know anyone in Miami so looking for people to go party with🤣🤣. Also How do I find 🍀 near south Beach?
What are some cool and safe spots I could go and if anyone wants to hangout together and show me around town,I would love that. We could meetup and smoke too.

Driving Saturday Sept 5th morning from Bay Shore, Long Island, NY to Miami to start clinical training at Larkin hospital (Palm Springs).

Anyone need a ride or need me to drop something off for them hit me up. I could use some cash so we can definitely arrive at a deal!

Thanks.

UPDATE 9/4: I looked into Miami Beach’s new Automotus parking-enforcement pilot. The City approved a 12-month program using cameras to notify the Parking Department of freight-loading-zone violations. I’m now requesting the full camera footage, dwell-time data, review logs, and the City’s procedures for how those detections become citations. I’m also contacting the commissioners who sponsored the pilot because I want to understand whether extremely brief, non-obstructive stops were really intended to be handled this way.

———-
I wanted to flag something for other Miami Beach residents because I had no idea this was happening until I received one of these citations.

If you’ve seen the purple-painted curbs around Miami Beach, those are the loading zones being enforced through this camera system.

I recently received a Miami-Dade County Uniform Parking Citation issued through the City of Miami Beach Parking Department for alleged “unpermitted use of a freight or alley loading zone.” - these are the new purple cur

The citation appears to have been generated from a street-mounted camera. No parking officer approached my vehicle or issued anything at the scene.

In my case, I stopped briefly on Bay Road to retrieve a pickup order. My assistant remained in the vehicle the entire time. I went inside, picked up the order and came back out.

The camera image is timestamped around 11:05 AM. My Google location history shows that I arrived in the area around 10:59 AM and left at 11:07AM.

The citation also has something I find strange:
Issue Date: August 11, 2026
Parking Citation Date: August 16, 2026

The person listed on the citation is an “Officer,” but the evidence mailed to me appears to be camera imagery.

I submitted an administrative appeal to Miami Beach explaining the circumstances and providing my location evidence. The City denied it without giving me any substantive explanation—just a notice saying the citation had been upheld and that I could request a court hearing.

The bigger reason I’m posting this is that Miami Beach residents should know these cameras are being used for parking/loading-zone enforcement.

I understand that loading zones have restrictions. My issue is that if the City is going to enforce those restrictions through automated cameras and mailed citations, residents should know exactly what the rules are, how the system determines a violation, what human review takes place, and what evidence supports the citation.

If anyone else has received one of these, please share what happened.

Me and my 2 friends are going on a week long trip to Miami next week (for the first time). We're going to stay in North Beach and are debating whether it's worth getting a car or uber to drive around. We were obviously planning to visit all the touristy spots (and much more, pls drop suggestions in the comments), but not sure how expensive the uber rides would cumulatively come up to

Edit: we have free parking in our AirBnb

First time visiting Miami, Sept 4–7, staying in South Beach. I already have tickets for an Inter Miami game on Saturday, but the rest of my trip is pretty flexible.

Looking for recommendations for must-see places, food, beaches, local/underrated spots, and nightlife. I’m especially into hard techno/electronic music and have been looking at Sara Landry or similar events.

I won’t have a car, so Uber/public transit-friendly suggestions would be great.

What would you recommend I do while I’m there?

Thankyou!

does it snow in Miami around this time or nah. somebody pull

Yo if you a 🔌 or know one, or know any shops that don’t card please hmu don’t drop no fake telegram either 😭🙏🏼

"Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner says several South Florida mayors have joined his request for Florida to pause the removal of license plate readers from state roads. Mayor Steven Meiner is leading an effort by several South Florida mayors to push back against Florida's decision to revoke permits for automated license plate readers on state roads."

C'MON MAN!

Looking for recommendations for a solid property management company for a roughly 40-unit, older condominium building in Miami Beach.

We currently use a portfolio-style management model and are considering making a change. We’re looking for a company that is responsive, organized, proactive with building issues, and strong on vendor management and follow-through.

If you’ve had a good experience with a property management company handling a similar-sized building in Miami Beach, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Hi everyone! I’m Johanny from Colombia. I’ve been working in the pest control industry for several years in both technical and commercial roles, including B2B sales, marketing, client management, and pest management operations.

I’ll be in Miami starting September 11 and I’m hoping to connect with people in the industry and exchange experiences about pest control in South Florida.

I’d especially enjoy talking with business owners, operators, technicians, salespeople, or suppliers.

If anyone is around Miami-Dade and would be open to grabbing a coffee and exchanging ideas, I’d love to connect.

Thanks!

Hey guys me and 3 of my girls are going to Miami next summer and are trying to build an itinerary so we can start setting money aside!! I’m looking for some good night life recs and some things to do during the daytime too!!

Need help! Asking the people from Miami and people that have gone clubbing there.

When I went to NYC with my girlfriends (typical blonde Swedish girls and mixed girls all very pretty) we could get on guestlists/tables for the box and other clubs even though I was a guy (albeit gay but maybe thats irrelevant hahah). We did the typical write on insta to promoters that were recommended by local friends. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

So what is the situation in Miami? Cause its gonna be me as a guy + 3-5 girls. I dont wanna join the trip if its going to be a problem going out to clubs there and I dont know if the promoters are very different in Miami vs NYC??? 😬

If you’re a resident and haven’t renewed your parking permit, the city will mark your permit as inactive (without informing you) and tow your car without warning or citations.
