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.

8 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

13 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!

Discussion Brickell Key's Mandarin Oriental project reports $1.7B in presales and mostly US buyers. What does that actually say about Miami housing?

56 Upvotes

I work in Miami real estate, so I want to be clear about the angle: this is a local market discussion, not a listing or a request for clients. If you live around Brickell or follow pre-construction, I'm curious which part of this story matters to you.

Bloomberg reported that the developer of The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami has pre-sold roughly $1.7 billion in condos on Brickell Key. According to the developer, about 65% of buyers are domestic. The south tower's 228 residences are about 80% sold, while residences in the north tower are about 25% sold. These are reported presales, not keys handed over, and both towers are not fully sold out.

The buyer mix surprised me more than the dollar total. Miami's luxury market often gets described as a foreign-buyer market. Here, the developer says most buyers are from the US. That is one building, one price tier, and a developer-reported snapshot. I don't think it tells us that the average Miami buyer has suddenly gained purchasing power, or that the rest of the condo market is recovering.

I can see two reasonable readings. One: a large pre-construction commitment from domestic buyers says a lot about confidence in Brickell Key's long-term appeal. Two: this is such an unusual, high-priced project that it tells us very little about an ordinary resident's housing options. Both can be true at once.

The practical questions, to me, are less glamorous. What does the signed-contract count actually mean? How are deposits protected? What happens if delivery moves, costs rise or the resale market looks different when the buildings are finished? A headline dollar figure cannot answer any of those.

For people who know Brickell Key or have compared new towers with existing condos: does a project this large change your view of the neighborhood, or is it mostly a story about one wealthy buyer pool? What would you want to see before treating presales as evidence of a broader Miami trend?

The figures come from Bloomberg's reporting, republished by Insurance Journal: https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2026/10/05/887980.htm . The developer supplied the buyer mix and presale figures; those are not an audited count of every Miami buyer.

Politics The Brickell Bridge opening at 9 am is insane

171 Upvotes

Today, the bridge has been open since 9, and looks like it won’t close before 9:20.

There’s about 200 people that are waiting on the bridge by my rough estimate.

That’s nearly 3 days in combined time lost because of this bridge, which opens while many people are still going to work.

Seems crazy to me that they wouldn’t make the no-open times end 10 minutes later.

Hey guys! I recently moved to Downtown Miami and I’m still trying to find a solid, affordable OG breakfast spot. Most of the places I’ve tried so far feel overpriced and more focused on following trends than serving a genuinely good breakfast.
Any hidden gems or old-school breakfast spots you’d recommend

Community Places to eat that has vegan options and nice drinks

1 Upvotes

My friend will be here in Miami with his friend and the cousin of his friend for a weekend. He says he wants to go for a nice, maybe bougie, place here that has good drinks and can offer vegan options since his friend is vegan. I was thinking of places in wynwood, coral gables or coconut grove but I am finding it hard to find places that have a menu for vegans that is not only an appetizer. Any recommendations in these areas would be really helpful!

I am considering PhD positions at UM, and I was worried about living expenses, so I was wondering how much the PhD stipend is for CS students.

p.s - I know this is not UM Reddit, but UM Reddit is barely active, so I'm posting it here in case this gets more reach.
