1. City of Miami
Miami, FL 33133
(305) 250-5300
Categories:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings,
Local Flavor
Dear Miami,
I'm jealous of your blue, blue ocean and clean beaches.
I tried my best to immerse myself in your food culture and unfortunately, I came up short. That's probably my fault though. I seemingly ate more French than the readily available Latin…More »
2. Sra. Martinez
3.5
After our plans for a Haitian lunch fell through, Maria A and I decided to go to Sra. Martinez so I could also take a look around the design district.
Walking in, we were given a corner table which had a great view of the entire restaurant. I was…More »
3. Official Guided Walking Tours of the Art Deco District
Since Eve C reviewed the tour back in July 2008 and said the headquarters were set up in a temporary location, I called to see where they are currently located. They are indeed still at the temporary location at 12th & Ocean. The warm woman who…More »
4. The Barnacle
Park Ranger Dee Barry truly made our experience at the Barnacle great. We arrived too late for the last tour but she took it upon herself to lead an impromptu tour through the boat house and main house of Commodore Munroe, one of the founding fathers…More »
5. World Erotic Art Museum
Look girlie bits! *giggle*
Look boy bits! *giggle*
And sometimes those boy bits are INSIDE girl bits! Oh wait, girl and girl bits together? Like boy and boy bits together? Woah! Someone's grandmother started this museum?
And because of that…More »
6. Havana Grove - CLOSED
While walking around Coconut Grove, we stumbled upon Havana Grove for lunch. Apparently this place has only been open for a couple of months.
They have a large selection of sandwiches and daily specials. Unfortunately, we just missed the cut-off for…More »
7. MNG By Mango
So after coming from the spacious Zara next door, I wandered into slightly smaller MNG to take a look around. The lighting was dimmer but the music was more fun. I perused the clothes and figured out the price range is a bit on the higher end.
I…More »
8. South Beach
I spent about three days walking about SoBe including doing the Art Deco walking tour, walking from Lincoln Road to Biscayne, checking out the available shopping along Collins and other things.
But my favorite part of SoBe was looking at the bluest…More »
9. La Provence
I was staying with a friend in the building La Provence is located in. I think it's a pretty good place if you live in the area. Decent looking pastries along with a menu of salads and sandwiches. They also serve breakfast.
You order at the counter…More »
10. Miami International Airport
Getting off the plane, the first time I wanted to do was run to the restroom. Unfortunately, it took a while to find the darn things. I was practically to baggage claim before I found them. They weren't exactly the cleanest but they'll do.
Baggage…More »
11. Ulta
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 538-7316
Categories:
Hair Salons,
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply,
Eyelash Service
Wow! This Ulta had some stuff that I've never seen in an Ulta back home in LA. Usually only Sephora carries such brands as Bliss.
All the displays were clean and extensive. I could spend hours browsing here.
I definitely wanted to spend more time here…More »
12. Mary Brickell Village
Eh. This outdoor mall has a bunch of restaurants including some chains such as PF Changs and Starbucks. I looked at the odd art gallery, tried to go to the upscale pharmacy but it was closed and considered the gelato joint. It takes about 10 minutes…More »
13. Ricky's
I appreciated the fact this store existed. Very clean and orderly inside with tons of stuff for hair. Manic Panic? Sure! As well as pricier hair dyes. One of the managers took my friend for a tour around the place while I poked about on my own.…More »
14. Agora, Inc
Very cute store!
I was attracted immediately to the beaded wire animals displayed towards the back. They had animals such as lions but they also had animals known more in Florida like manatees, flamingos and the like. I thought the chicken and the…More »
15. Books & Books
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 532-3222
Categories:
Newspapers & Magazines,
Coffee & Tea,
Bookstores
Set back a bit from Lincoln Road (you enter by passing the cafe and outdoor magazine stands), the shop is quite cozy. Individual nooks hold various genres of books. In the center of the store had a table of some of the latest fiction titles.
I was…More »
16. Base
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 531-4982
Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing,
Music & DVDs
I liked this store. I would like it even more if I could afford the things in it!
There are more clothes for guys here. The women's stuff is in a small room towards the back along with a big display of Japanese toys. This is the kind of place where…More »
17. Piola
Eh.
On my first night in Miami, we went to Piola for a quick bite. We sat outside along with over-tanned folks with too much cosmetic surgery and their dogs.
They had at least three pages of pizza but I didn't feel like pizza. After traveling all…More »
18. Puerto Vallarta
3.5
Driving back from the Keys into Miami, we stopped at this Mexican restaurant to get "some tacos."
Turns out this is not a taco shop. Instead, I ordered arroz con mariscos, a huge plate for only $12 of lots of tender seafood and carbo overload. I…More »
19. Marinheiro Restaurant
Let me get this straight.
A drink will cost you about $15 here. In a tiny plastic cup?
I don't speak Spanish but I know a couple of choice phrases. One being, "no bueno." The reason being a drink is that much is they charge tax and an automatic…More »
20. SEE Eyewear
Really great glasses!
Everything in this store is manufactured for See. The salesperson said often times, if a design is sold out, they won't make that particular pair of glasses again. I was particularly attracted to the multi-colored ones. The…More »
21. Fly Boutique
I love looking through vintage shops because I mainly look for jewelry. This shop had tons but they weren't really displayed well and I didn't really want to dig. However, this small shop is stuffed with an inordinate of vintage purses which I did…More »
22. Gelateria Parmalat
I'm a believer.
The gelato was creamy.
The sorbet was light and not overly sweet.
The shake was addicting. The hazelnut gelato in it was actually fragrant. Unbelievable! Could it be true they actually import the milk from Italy?
I got the guanabana…More »
23. Anthropologie
It really pains me to give Anthro 3 stars as it is one of my favorite stores. And I did really like what they did with the store displays here. Fresh flowers, fruit and bread were artfully displayed alongside the great clothes, housewares and…More »
24. American Apparel
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 672-1799
Categories:
Accessories,
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Geez, I don't know...I come from LA so buying something that was "made in LA" in Miami seemed kind of silly but I did it anyway. I wanted to get a pair of leggings since it was so windy and I didn't enjoy flashing everyone my undies while wearing…More »
25. Pasha's
Wrap of crap.
I ordered the falafel wrap here and it was the sorriest excuse of a wrap I've ever seen. Dry, uninteresting and cold.

It isn't accompanied by anything and I think they clearly forgot the sauces supposedly in it. I had to get some…More »
26. Tobacco Road
So this is the oldest bar in Miami, eh?
Well, I suppose it's a take it or leave it sort of place. I could have done without considering it was a $5 cover the night I went. I don't like reggae music so paying cover was particularly painful.
They had…More »
27. Oceanaire Seafood Room
Oceanaire in the Mary Brickell Village is very sleek. I loved the art deco look to it.
They actually succeeded in making it look like "money" from the light hardwood floors to the darker paneling. Lighting was dim and romantic. I suppose this would…More »
28. Lincoln Road
Oh! I saw the dude on the bike with the snowy white rooster! Its bright red comb was brilliant in the Miami sun. I had seen some travel show that talked about Mark and his rooster, Mr. Clucky. He was dressed in overalls which were hard not to miss as…More »
29. The Bookstore in the Grove
I was fascinated by the fortune teller out front and the people requesting her services because they were sipping wine while having their cards read. Yes, on the sidewalk outside of the bookstore. They came out of the bookstore with the wine so…More »
30. Cacique's Corner Restaurant
I popped in an early Tuesday for breakfast. Luckily for me, there was a table facing the window and the waitress speedily got me a menu. It wasn't particularly busy yet as it was just past breakfast but not quite lunch time. Most of the other patrons…More »
31. Florida Keys Wild Bird Center
Tavernier, FL 33070
(305) 852-4486
While driving around Key Largo, I spotted a sign for this place and knew we should check it out.
It's so trippy with cages of injured birds including hawks and owls everywhere. And besides that, there was a large wild bird population just hanging…More »
32. Cvs Front Store
Miami, FL 33133
(305) 569-1161
While in Coconut Grove, I needed to get a few toiletries I had forgotten on my trip.
Like a typical drugstore, it carried quite a few items but unlike the drugstores I visited before leaving LA for similar items, this CVS was cheaper. The pricing was…More »
33. Main Library
Goodness, this is the MAIN library? It's erm, rather small? There are only two floors and apparently only one shelf of science fiction/ fantasy books. Wow!
Walking in, I saw all the books on hold just sitting out in the open. I guess they allow you…More »
34. Premiere Avenue Bistro and Bakery
What do I remember about this place other than it was a place to rest while traversing through Downtown?
The bread. Great, great bread which they gave me a big basket of while I looked through the menu. I knew I should stop eating it so I would have…More »
35. Paul Maison de Qualite
How do you review a place you didn't want to go to? Well, I was on my way to find some sustenance for the night along Lincoln Road. I had already had French for lunch and didn't want French for dinner. But a sudden thunderstorm had me fleeing into…More »
36. Versailles Restaurant
We had meant to go to the bakery but it closed at 9 p.m. so we went over to the restaurant and stood outside along with the others milling about for a cup of Cuban coffee and some pastries.
I chose to also get the potato ball. In LA, I love the potato…More »
37. Sephora
My love/hate relationship with Sephora is well-known. I love makeup but I really hate how unfriendly most stores are. I don't get it. Don't they know I would be willing to plunk down cash for yet another shimmery eye shadow?
Well, I walked in and…More »
38. Espanola Way Village
A few blocks away from Lincoln Road was Espanola Way. I had it on my list of things to do but once I was there, I didn't really know why I was told to go there. Sure, there are shops and restaurants but later at night, only the restaurants are open.…More »

I think I need to find a hipster to show me how to wear these plain, brightly colored clothes in an interesting way.
I stopped in to this location to return the leggings I bought at the Lincoln Road location. And even though it had only been a day…More »
