I have to admit, I began following you on Twitter long before I even realized you had a blog. Thank you so much for providing this information! I plan to take full advantage when I’m there next week. I don’t like to always do the touristy stuff, so the suggestions you provided will REALLY ensure I enjoy my first visit to Miami memorable… Regards!

You mention Vichy Showers. I'm trying to surprise my massage therapist wife with a gift for her spa. Do you think this Vichy Shower is functional enough. I've heard that they are great but are they a big enough part of massages.

I am a UM alum, and have a few South Beach and campus suggestions. I agree about the pretentiousness and horrid parking situation on South Beach, but in small doses I love the vibe. Back when I was in Miami my favorite club was Opium/Prive and my favorite pre-club hangout spots were Skybar (at the Shore Club Hotel) and the Delano Hotel (tip: get here before 11:30). Since I left I hear The Set and Karu & Y are cool clubs.

There are a lot of organizations on campus – I was a member of the Caribbean Students Assoc., which unfortunately has gone downhill since my class left UM – true story, lol. Another great thing about UM is that if you are into the club scene and if you socialize enough, you will become friends with a promoter (or a friend of a friend) so you can get “on the list” to a club.

I also think Miami is the best place for yoga – when I go down to visit I usually go to a class at the Standard Hotel (they have an awesome pool scene and mojitos, by the way).

Good Gravey Bella;

You sent everyone to Uva69 now the place is going to jammed packed. That whole MiMo area is fab. Try Michey’s across the street from Uva, this is the same famed Michelle Bernstein who has a show on the Food Network. Reservations required. Further north on that strip about 78th and Biscayne the Red Room along the river, it rivals Uva. Good Luck

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. We will be in Florida for a week this summer and it is nice hearing suggestions from someone who lived there. I don’t like to do just the touristy spots. This was right on time.

Great info! Don’t forget The Garden of Eatin’. This a great vegetarian restaraunt off of NW 62 st in little Haiti. They have amazing food an I promise the best vegan chicken wings on the planet. This a good choice for vegetarian as well.
