A warning for vacationers seeking peace-and-quiet: don't come to South Beach! At least that is my advice during the high season from January through the end of March when every night of the week is full of parties and events, and the dance music...

Pros: Elegant looking hotel, decent food
Cons: In the middle of nowhere!

This past weekend, a friend and I stayed at the Wyndham Miami Beach Resort on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Overall, the hotel was ok – not bad but not great. The whole trip, including airfare from NY and hotel for 3 nights was $350 so it’s not like we...

An update of my review in 2000. This is still the Best Week of the Year for Miami and Miami Beach. No, the Cos will not be at the Miccosukee Indian Gaming, and the Gold Cup will not be at the Orange Bowl. The Boat Show and the Grove Art Show are still...

From the guidebook, I had expected to see two things in Miami beach: Gorgeous art deco architecture and stunning topless models. Naturally, I had hoped to get pictures of both.

Well, the architecture cooperated quite nicely, but I had the...

Pros: Sun and Fun with Beatiful People

I visited Miami with my college friends during our spring break in 1998. We were ultra excited, and couldn't wait to "party in the city where the heat is on," as Will Smith put it. So we gathered our belongings(and money) and hit the...
